Special Interview and Color Page in Bessatsu Margaret for the Live-Action Film Adaptation of Oneechan no Midori-kun

The July 2025 issue of Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret, dated June 12, 2025, will hit shelves with special content dedicated to the live-action film adaptation of mangaka Meguro Amu's hit shoujo series “Oneechan no Midori-kun”. The issue will feature color photos of the lead actors Hashimoto Masao and Nakajima Runa as well as their pre-recorded comments about the film.

According to Natalie, this special 7-page feature will include behind-the-scenes shots and a candid conversation between the two actors. The character Midori-kun, played by Hashimoto Masao, stands out for his pure love for an older woman, while the older sister character played by Nakajima Runa forms the emotional core of the story. The magazine page aims to offer fans a behind-the-scenes look with these interviews, which are being shared for the first time about the film.

The manga “Oneechan no Midori-kun” first began serialization in Bessatsu Margaret in 2022 and quickly gained a large fanbase among young girls. The series, which handles the older sister-younger brother dynamic with a modern twist, stands out for its warm dialogue and emotional storytelling, as with Meguro Amu's previous works. The live-action film adaptation of the manga is directed by Yamamoto Takuya and is scheduled for release this summer.

This special issue will be a highly anticipated resource for both manga readers and moviegoers ahead of the film's release. Additionally, the magazine aims to stay in the spotlight with new shoujo series it has announced for the second half of this year. The 7th issue of Bessatsu Margaret will be available at bookstores and digital platforms across Japan from June 12. Although the film's exact release date has not been announced yet, it is expected to draw audiences, especially those who enjoy romantic stories with age gap themes, to theaters this summer.

Fans expect the interviews in the magazine to contain hints about the film set, and it is rumored that Meguro Amu herself might contribute a brief comment for this special issue. More details are expected to be shared through Shueisha's official channels in the coming days.
