In a mix of live actors and familiar voice talent, the cast of the live-action My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 movie is in the spotlight in a new trailer. In addition to Mizuki Yamashita and Ryuta Sakuma as the IRL versions of Akane and Akito, respectively, the movie taps the anime’s main voice cast to play the in-game voices of some of the characters.
In this case, anime leads Inori Minase and Koki Uchiyama voice the in-game voices of Akane and Akito’s Forest of Saver characters Akane and Yamada. The movie also has Ai Kakuma and Rio Tsuchiya back as the voices of Rurihime and Tsubaki in the game.
Check out the new trailer below ahead of the film’s March 28 opening in Japan.
Live-Action My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 Trailer
The film adapts the manga of the same name by Mashiro. It’s directed by Yuka Yasukawa (The Nighthawk’s First Love) and written by Anna Kawahara (Dragons of Wonderhatch).
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 has previously been adapted into an anime series that aired in 2023.
Here’s how Inklore describes the first volume of the manga:
College student Akane has just been dumped by her boyfriend. Heartbroken, she decides to quit the online RPG they used to play together—but instead of deleting her account, she logs in and battles low-level enemies to relieve her stress and hurt feelings. There she meets Yamada, an elite pro gamer so reclusive that Akane can’t decide if he’s awkward or alluring.
When Akane encounters her ex at a gaming convention, she makes the snap decision to pretend Yamada is her boyfriend, and soon the two of them are spending time together both in the game and in real life. The problem is, Yamada is only interested in the game. As Akane’s feelings grow, will Yamada’s focus shift?
