The Japanese film "Teacher's Kind Lie," adapted from the famous manga artist Asuka Torikai's representative work, tackles highly controversial topics. Selling over a million copies in Japan, it is directed by Koichiro Miki, known for the film "The Traveling Cat Chronicles." The script took 10 years to develop due to its sensitive and controversial themes of sexual assault and gender discrimination, which made it difficult to find suitable cast members. The director revealed that over the years, 10 actresses were approached and declined the role, making casting a challenge. Eventually, after numerous negotiations, the talented actress Nao agreed to take on the role. The film also stars HiHi Jets member Gari Souya, skilled actor Kazama Shunsuke, and beautiful actress Miyoshi Ayaka, making this a highly impactful work.
