Taisuke Niihara Joins Live-Action My Sister's Boyfriend Film as Assistant Producer
The supporting cast is filling in around the two leads, and each addition lands in a defined slot in the story's TV station setting, which suggests the film is keeping the workplace thread that runs alongside Sui's home tutoring arrangement.

The live-action film of Amu Meguro's manga My Sister's Boyfriend has added Taisuke Niihara to its cast. He plays Amamiya, a new assistant producer at the TV station where Sui's older sister Momo works. Masaki Hashimoto plays Midori Yukishiro and Runa Nakajima plays Sui Sanae, with Rinka Kumada as Momo and Reo Matsumoto as Ayame Mizukawa. Mahito Kimura directs; the film opens in Japan on December 4.
Taisuke Niihara joins the live-action adaptation as Amamiya, an assistant producer at the TV station where Momo Sanae works. That is a supporting role, and it points to how much of the film sits inside the sister's professional world rather than only around the junior high student at its center.
The leads were already set: Masaki Hashimoto as Midori Yukishiro and Runa Nakajima as Sui Sanae. Mahito Kimura directs from a script by Nami Kikkawa, with Shochiku planning and distributing. The film opens in Japan on December 4.
