"Without a doubt, Takei-san is an actress who will become big. Even with an innocent face, she has the will for this work. I feel that she has the chance of becoming big by playing various roles. Along with her age (17), I couldn't think of anyone else to play the role of Kaoru."
Emi Takei answered:
"I am happy and excited, yet at the same time very nervous to star in the film adaptation of a comic loved by many people. For the filming, I am learning sword fighting and posture.

I want to challenge myself with all my might. Please look forward to it."
