Following the final episode in Japan, it was confirmed that WataNare (Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wakenaijan, Muri Muri! or Muri Janakatta!?) will receive a sequel in film format. The movie will premiere in Japanese theaters on November 21 , 2025, accompanied by a trailer and promotional visual.
The film's plot follows Renako Amaori, a formerly shy and lonely girl who decides to reinvent her life in high school. She joins the most popular group in school, but soon finds herself at the center of an unexpected double confession: Mai Oduka, considered the "prince" of the school, and Ajisai Sena, the adored "angel" of the campus.
While trying to cope with her confused feelings and the pressure of her choices, Renako agrees to help her friend Kaho at a cosplay event. However, witnessing her friend's dedication, something begins to awaken within her. Does the saying "there's no way I can be someone's lover" still make sense?
