Full trailer for ‘Kodomo no Kodomo’

In Koji Hagiuda‘s adaptation of Akira Saso’s manga series Kodomo no Kodomo (literally “child of a child"), newcomer Haruna Amari plays an 11-year-old 5th grader (also named Haruna) who gets pregnant. Now, the obvious question you may be asking right now is, “Gahhh?!” From what I can gather the actual knocking up involves a seemingly innocent and completely oblivious “Let’s put these together” experiment between Haruna and her male friend Hiroyuki. It’s really not that bizarre when you think about it. Avoiding mistakes like that is basically the main reason there’s sex education in grammar schools in the first place.

The new full-length trailer (see below) seems to back up Jason Gray’s thoughts on the film. It appears to be tactfully handled without any sort of creep-out factor that people may have been worried about when this adaptation was first announced.
