I’m just going to review No Longer Heroine as a standalone movie.Īs a standalone movie, No Longer Heroine was enjoyable. I haven’t read the manga so I can’t point out which one is better between the live action and the manga. He’s already pretty great in here, L.DK, and Death Note so it’s time for him to try different type of roles. I want him to spread his wing and try different kind of roles. He’s a talented young man and it’s a pity that the character he’s been playing out so far are all pretty much the same type of guy. Again, just like on my L.DK review, I’m going to say this again. I was convinced by his portrayal of Rita. I’ve been a fan since Death Note and even though his acting in Death Note wasn’t very satisfying I still fell for him. One of my reasons why I wanted to watch this is Yamazaki Kento. just because you’re doing a live-action doesn’t mean you have to copy the manga 100%. I’m sure the director asked her to act like that. It’s just her manga acting in the first half of the movie really bothered me. But that didn’t mean she had to copy the character’s facial expression. I get it that she tried to bring the manga Hatori to life, to portray Hatori just like how the author painted Hatori as a character in the manga. Mirei Kiritani’s acting was a bit too exaggerated. It’s a nice watch for those who enjoy the manga. The live action was cute and sweet but also gave a fair amount of heartbreaks. After watching the live action I came to a realization that Rita was the main male lol. Plus, in my country Rita is a name for girls.

I only remembered Rita and guess what? I thought Rita was a girl! This is also a proof that I really didn’t understand the manga almost 100%.

I didn’t know the plot, I didn’t even remember the characters’ names. This means, I haven’t finished the manga. But again, maybe because I was distracted too much when I read the manga or the manga was too difficult for my poor slow brain to process, I ended up not understanding the manga. I liked the artwork because it’s cute and fun. “In this world, we’re all our very own, individual heroine.” – Hatori Matsuzaki (No Longer Heroine)Īs someone who didn’t understand the manga, I was very excited to watch the movie when I heard the news.
