>The new Haikara-san ga Tōru anime will consist of two films, both slated for 2017. The first film's full title is Gekijōban Haikara-san ga Tōru Zenpen - Benio, Hana no 17-sai. Saori Hayami is playing protagonist Benio "Haikara-san" Hanamura, while Mamoru Miyano is playing her fiancé, Shinobu Ijūin. Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Rurouni Kenshin, Gundam Unicorn) is directing the films and writing the script.
>The story is set in Tokyo in the Taishō era (1912-1926). The story follows Benio "Haikara-san" Hanamura, who lost her mother when she was very young and has been raised by her father, a high-ranking official in the Japanese army. As a result, she has grown into a tomboy -- contrary to traditional Japanese notions of femininity, she studies kendo, drinks sake, dresses in often outlandish-looking Western fashions instead of the traditional kimono, and is not as interested in housework as she is in literature. She also rejects the idea of arranged marriages and believes in a woman's right to a career and to marry for love.
Are you ready for some classic shoujo, /a/?

About half a year after the BDs are released.
Post this thread again in 2018, onegai.
Is Hayamin is getting type casted as "strong female character"?
>>149270452
Hope it will be as good as Kenshin or HxH
>>149270245
Not unless it can top Tokyo Juice.

Can't wait until she's tamed by the all-powerful Gary Stu and turn into a proper Japanese woman
>Saori Hayami.
Yes I am ready whatever it is.

>Too bad he dies in the end.
And a fuck you, to you.
Damn, I didn't like Shinobu much, but if Mamo is playing him I can't resist. And Hayamin is an interesting choice for Benio.

He doesn't.
