Tezuka Osamu is considered the Godfather of manga, but ‘MW (pronounced ‘moo’)’ had long been considered one of the more provocative works of Tezuka for its controversial themes and had thus far never been adapted into other media (film, anime, etc.). Now ‘MW’ has become a movie, with Tamaki Hiroshi starring as Yuki Michio and Yamada Takayuki as Father Garai Yutaro. A press image was released alluding to the two characters’ ‘forbidden relationship’.
The image shows Father Garai (Yamada) lying on his back with Yuki (Tamaki) positioned right on top of him. Both of them have glazed eyes, and their lips have a hint of pink, which makes the image all the more intensely vivid.
The image will be on display from July 3rd (Fri) to July 31st (Fri) on a signboard placed beside the entrance of a movie theater in Shibuya where the movie will be shown. The signboard is bound to become a showstopper for people passing by.
