Two of the most anticipated events during Coslandia 2019 was the attendance of the main cast of\u00a0the upcoming live-action film adaptation of\u00a0Seikimatsu Blue<\/strong>\u00a0from the popular fantasy-supernatural manga series by Shintaro Hirota.<\/p>\n

Seikimatsu Blue\u2019s story begins with a girl named Kousaka, a normal student and her encounter with a strange-shaped monster called \u201cDaiou\u201d after helping her bullied classmate, Toumine, which led to the destruction of the world. The movie is set to be released later this year.<\/p>\n

During the\u00a0film’s promotion, the film’s director\u00a0Tetsuya Hashi explained that the manga was set in 1999 when bullying was an unaddressed issue so they wanted to highlight it in the movie along with other personal conflicts of each character.<\/p>\n
