Aoi Wakana and Sano Hayato to star in new real-life adaptation movie "Ao-Natsu"

Aoi Wakana and Sano Hayato will be starring in the new real-life adaptation movie "Ao-Natsu" which is based on the same-titled manga by Nanba Atsuko. The two of them last worked together three years ago in the 2015 movie "Kuchibiru ni uta wo" starring Aragaki Yui.

The story describes how Rio (Aoi) who has been raised in the city, spends her summer holidays in the countryside and meets Ginzo (Sano), a handsome and cool guy where they fall in love with each other. Aoi praised her co-star for looking exactly like Ginzo in the manga and said that it was fun to work together again. Sano also echoed her view and said that filming in the beautiful nature made it easier for them to immerse themselves into the story.
