Gunjou is not a tale about the kind of love that lets two people eat popcorn while on a date together. It is rather about the type of love that lets a lover jump off a cliff rather than stay apart.
Netflix has announced that the Gunjou manga will be adapted into a live-action film named “Ride or Die.” It will premiere worldwide on 15th April, and Netflix will stream it exclusively.
A new visual has also been revealed for the upcoming film:
It is a simple visual, but Rei’s calm face says a lot about her hidden emotions. The visual also silently relays the attachments that people have with others.
Love can make people override their morality and step into hell all by themselves.
