Hitoma Iruma’s popular light novel Usotsuki Mii-kun to Kowareta Maa-chan is being turned into a live-action adaptation starring former fashion model Aya Oomasa. The original work has sold over 900,000 copies while pushing the boundaries of content usually found in light novels, which are usually read by young teens.

Oomasa, an up-and-coming young actress who recently garnered attention for her memorable starring role in the TBS drama “Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge”, will play Mayu Misono, aka Maa-chan. The challenging role will require her to drastically shift from grief to cheerfulness to extreme anger. Maa-chan was involved in an incredibly traumatic incident as a child which left her mentally scarred. Because of this, she’s capable of unpredictable cruelty, but also sometimes reverts to a child-like personality when she’s around Mii-kun (Shota Sometani), a childhood acquaintance.

The story takes place in a countryside town where two young siblings have recently disappeared.
