Fans of the Mieruko-chan manga series from Tomoki Izumi had a pretty solid run for the show with it being adapted back in 2022, and they’ve also had the manga coming out in English at a pretty good pace as well from Yen Press. In October 2024, we learned that a new live-action film is in the works for a summer 2025 release in Japan.
The film has Yoshihiro Nakamura directing it and handling the screenpla,y and we learned recently that it was being set with a June 6th, 2025, premiere date.
With the film just a few days away now, the production has brought out a new clip from it that shows off the strange experiences of the cast at home and school below. The film features the theme song “Ghost” performed by BABYMONSTER.
