The official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Yuna Takagi's Fujimi Lovers ( Undead Lovers ) fantasy romance manga released a full trailer today, announcing the release date of May 10, 2024 in Japan. Clip from Cinema Today's official YouTube channel Fujimi Lovers by Yuna Takagi ran in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine from its May 2013 to March 2014 issues, then compiled in three tankobon volumes. The story centers on Rino Hasebe, who is chasing after Jun Kono. She believes he is "the one," but he suddenly disappears from this world when she falls in love with him. Rino and Jun meet many times in their lives, and each time Rino tells Jun that she loves him, they fall in love, and Jun "disappears". Then, Rino's undaunted love for him leads to a miraculous ending. Daigo Matsui, the director, has worked on the film adaptation for ten years after reading the original story.
