Himeanole (film)

Hime-anole (ヒメアノ～ル, Hime-anōru) is a 2016 Japanese romantic thriller black comedy film directed by Keisuke Yoshida. It is based on the manga series of the same name written by Minoru Furuya, serialized in the Weekly Young Magazine between 2008 and 2010, and republished into six volumes. The film received an R-15 rating in Japan. It is the second of Furuya's works to be adapted to the big screen, following 2011's Himizu.

The film marks the debut of V6 boyband singer Go Morita in his first starring role in a feature film as the antagonist Soichi Morita, and stars Gaku Hamada as the naive protagonist Okada among a cast of odd characters entrenched amid love triangles and shoddy friendships. It premiered at the Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy on 25 April 2016, and was released theatrically on 28 May in Japan.
