YuruCan△" scene photos (C) Afuro, Houbunsha, Outdoor Action Committee The TV anime "YuruCan△" has depicted high school girls at Motosu High School going camping, sometimes alone and sometimes together, to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery. The movie "YuruCan△" depicts the girls as grown-ups taking on the challenge of creating a campsite. The film has finally opened in theaters nationwide, and comments have been received from the original author, Afuro, and director Yoshiaki Kyogoku. Director Kyogoku said that the film's challenge was to portray Nadeshiko and Rin and the other girls as adults, but that "as usual, the girls were vividly alive in their own way. Afuro also mentioned the "food terror" that has been a familiar theme in previous "Yuru Can△" films as a point of interest for the audience. "I recommend that you include a meal after the screening in your plans," she commented, raising expectations for the food scenes on the silver screen. In addition, a special illustration from director Kyogoku has also arrived, so be sure to check it out as well.

You can see a part of the food terror scene in which Lynn's face unintentionally relaxes, Chikuwa taking a stroll under the blue sky, Nadeshiko and Lynn soaking in a hot spring, and many other scenes that will give you a "breather". In addition to familiar characters from the TV series, such as Mr. Toba and Akari Inuyama, there are also new characters unique to the movie. We hope to see what kind of story will be depicted in the movie on the screen. Scenes from "YuruCan△" (C) Afro, Houbunsha, Outdoor Action Committee The movie "YuruCan△" is currently being screened. To celebrate its release, a staff talk show will be held at Shinjuku Piccadilly in Tokyo on July 5. ＜The following is the full text of the comments. Original author: Afuro I have been drawing the "YuruCan△" manga since 2015, and if the flow of time were the same as in reality, I wonder if everyone would be like this by now. Seeing the five of them working so well as adults, I was deeply impressed by the seven years that have passed. I also recommend that those who are going to see this movie in the theater make plans to have a meal after the screening, as it is a "theater version" that includes a lot of food and entertainment. Director: Yoshiaki Kyogoku The movie "YuruCan△" has finally been completed. It is thanks to the support of all the fans. Thank you so much. We took on the bold challenge of portraying Nadeshiko Rin and her friends as adults in this movie. We have been working on the film while worrying about whether the story would still be "YuruCan△" even as adults. However, the grown-up Nadeshiko and Rin and the other girls are surprisingly lively as usual, just as they always are. I hope you will enjoy their activities at the movie theaters.
