The novel “Revolver Lily” will be adapted into a film directed by Shinji Aoyama, starring Haruka Ayase as a “hard-boiled” dark heroine.

The novel “Revolver Lily” is the award-winning work of Kyo Nagaura, a hard-boiled writer known for works such as “Akaiba,” “Murders,” and “Underdogs,” which won the 19th Oyabu Haruhiko Award. It has gained popularity for its unpredictable and compelling storyline, as well as its robust and action-packed scenes. In the film adaptation of “Revolver Lily,” directed by Kōun Yamada, the focus is on the dark heroine Yuriko Kozone, who emerges in a chaotic era dominated by men. It promises to deliver an unprecedented and grand-scale entertainment action masterpiece. Of particular interest is how the film will depict the intense six-day battle between Yuriko and Shinta, “only two against a thousand Imperial Army soldiers,” which serves as the climactic finale.
