Go Nagai’s classic manga series, ‘Cutie Honey’ is getting an all-new Japanese live-action movie adaptation entitled ‘Cutie Honey: Tears’.
Directed by Takeshi Asai, the film centres around the adventures of the titular female android as she attempts to save humanity from a virus created by an evil organisation. The cast includes Mariya Nishiuchi, Takahiro Miura, Sousuke Takaoka, Tasuku Nagase, Ren Imai, and Hina Fukatsu.
Synopsis: In a fractured future where toxic rain falls over a city divided between privilege and decay, an artificial girl awakened with human emotions struggles to understand her purpose after the scientist who created her is killed. Drawn into an underground resistance, she forms an uneasy bond with a cynical journalist while confronting a powerful android enforcer tied to the regime that governs every aspect of society. As secrets about her origin surface, she must decide whether she is merely a weapon built to fight or a person capable of choosing her own fate in a world where even memories can be manufactured.
