The front face is a refreshing prince of the school, but in fact, Ruya Miyase plays Omi-kun, a boy with a bad mouth, and Nanoka Hara plays Ellie, a girl who loves delusions and tweets about her delusions with Omi-kun's name "Koiwazurai no Ellie" on SNS. In addition, the latest cast, Taku Nishimura, Mizuho Shiramiya, Kodai Fujimoto, and Keiei Tsuna, Yuta Ozeki, and many others will appear.

The theme song of this work, "SWEET NONFICTION," which is scheduled to be released this month, has been selected, and expectations for the movie "Koiwazurai no Ellie" are increasing. NiziU's screen debut is a must-see for fans.
