Manami is in almost every scene, which is good if you're a Manami fan, but there's some other good actors here (Mitsuko Baisho and Yoshinori Okada to name two) and it probably would have made for a better movie if they'd spent some time fleshing out the other characters a little more. Still, I'm setting aside some income tax refund money for when the boxed set version comes out.

Yeah, those box sets don't come cheap... Even more so when you factor in the shipping from Japan.

I think I said something similar in the Ryoko thread, but now way Manami drinks beer like that and maintains her figure.

Saru Lock The Movie"
Premieres February 27, 2010

Cast: Ichihara Hayato, Higa Manami, Takaoka Sosuke, Ashina Sei, Watabe Gota, Manami Konishi, and more...

Saru Lock is based on a Serizawa Naoki manga and stars the ever-twitchy Ichihara Hayato as a gravure magazine-obsessed teenager named Sarumaru who works at his father’s locksmithing business and routinely uses his lock-picking skills on a series of adventures.

In the film, Sarumaru is hired by a beautiful woman named Mayumi (Higa) to open a vault. Once he manages to get in, they find a mysterious suitcase inside which contains money stolen from a bank―a detail Mayumi conveniently left out when describing the job. As it turns out, the suitcase also holds a secret that could have far-reaching implications for the police and undermine their authority. Soon, Saru and Mayumi are being hunted from all sides as the bank robbers attempt to recover their score and the police try to keep their secret from getting out.

^ Gehh.

Why is Manami-chan choose to be in that movie?

Seems like a crazy film. Guess she's gotta eat, man.

I guess... But after getting accolades for Nonchan Noriben, you'd think she could be more selective.

Tell that to Yukie Nakama.

In Japan, it's CMs that pay the bills anyway.
