Teen actress Riko Narumi will star in a mystery movie titled "Shojotachi no Rashinban," directed by Shunichi Nagasaki ("Nishi no Majo ga Shinda"). The film is based on a book that won a prize in the 1st Fukuyama Mystery Literature Newcomer Awards two years ago.
Set in Fukuyama, the story revolves around a group of four high school girls who were part of a legendary theatrical group called Rashinban (which means "compass"). The group went on hiatus after a member suddenly died, but four years later the truth behind her death is unraveled and a plan for revenge is set in motion.
Narumi's supporting cast consists of Shiori Kutsuna, Ayaka Morita, and Mayuu Kusakari. "Shojotachi no Rashinban" is scheduled for theatrical release next spring.
