Teaser - Paradise Kiss

The Japanese film site Movie Collection has uploaded the first teaser for Takehiko Shinjo’s Paradise Kiss to their YouTube channel. The film is a live-action adaptation of a manga by Ai Yazawa.

Plot: Yukari Hayasaka (Keiko Kitagawa) commutes to a prestigious private high school in Tokyo every day, but recently she’s been having doubts about her lifestyle which has her constantly bouncing back and forth between her normal classes and cram school as per her parents’ wishes. One day, she’s scouted as a model for an aspiring fashion designer named George Koizumi (Osamu Mukai). Yukari is puzzled by the fashion world at first, but witnessing people chase their dreams with a single-minded focus eventually inspires her to find her own path.

Warner Bros will be releasing “Paradise Kiss” in Japan sometime in May 2011.
