A Girl on the Shore (a.k.a. Umibe no Onna no Ko in Japanese) is getting a live-action movie that’s coming out in Japan on August 20. The original manga is by Inio Asano (Goodnight Punpun, Dead Dead Demon’s Dededededestruction), and a new trailer has been released for the movie.
The original manga was published in English by Vertical, and it gave this description of the story:
“When Koume and Keisuke’s relationship begins to take shape, it is apparent that they are both searching for something. Maybe Keisuke wants something more than a kiss from the fair Koume. Maybe Koume is looking for someone better than Misaki, the local playboy. But what they find in each other over the course of a summer might be far greater than anything they were expecting.
Their lives are going to change. And this will all transpire before high school exams!”
