In author Keiko Suenobu's story, five high school girls fight for survival in the mountains. *It's a shame a male of the species didn't survive this accident to spice up this "survival" game.*
Nanami Sakuraba, 20 years old, will star in a live-action adaptation of the survival and suspense story created by Keiko Suenobu , adapted for television! The story begins when five girls survive an accident involving their school bus, which leaves them adrift in the mountains, hungry, thirsty, with nothing, etc., forcing the poor girls to fight for their lives in what I believe to be a hostile environment.
Actress Shinohara will play the character Mizuki Konno, a second-year high school girl who, faced with a terrible situation involving her friends, develops her personality, becoming strong and mature. The actress also commented on the sense of realism she felt while reading the script of the story about the five students, and felt the pressure when she saw that the original manga series had so many fans! *It's pressure!*
Below are photos of the actresses who will play the other 3 remaining girls:
Author Suenobu debuted the manga “The Limit” in 2009, and the publisher Vertical will be releasing five of the six volumes this month in North America. Tokyopop published part of his work, the manga “Life,” in North America before closing its doors to advertising there. Furthermore, “Life” also inspired a live-action TV series in 2007. Suenobu's last manga released was “Hope” in February of this year.
The series “The Limit” will premiere this July and will air every Friday at 00:12.
