Based on Welzard's manga of the same name, Karada Sagashi opened in theaters on October 14, 2022 in Japan. The film received a mixed reaction from the audience, and was also hailed as one of the best live-action manga adaptations.
In the film, Asuka (Kanna Hashimoto) meets a young girl at her high school on July 5. She has never seen the young woman before. "My body, Sagashite," says the young woman. Later, Asuka has reservations about the girl. Asuka returns to school as the clock strikes twelve. She is not the only one present. Takahiro, a childhood friend, and four of her classmates are present. Asuka doesn't get along with her four classmates. At that moment, a girl covered in blood arrives and murders everyone present. Asuka believes that she is no longer alive. Asuka wakes up to find herself in her room. She is surprised that it is the morning of July 5th.
The film is directed by Eiichirô Hasumi from a script written by Katsutoshi Murase. Warner Brothers Pictures Japan distributed the film in the country. The cast includes Kanna Hashimoto as Asuka Morisaki, Gordon Maeda as Takahiro Ise, Maika Yamamoto as Rumiko Hiiragi, Fûju Kamio as Atsushi Kiyomiya, Kotaro Daigo as Shota Uranishi, Mayu Yokota as Rie Naruto, Shuntaro Yanagi, Naomi Nishida, and Tasuku Emoto.
The web novel, KaradaSagashi, became a hot topic as the most popular novel on novel publishing sites, and in 2014, the manga version recorded a cumulative total of 100 million views. Re/Member, also known as Karada Sagashi, is the long-awaited live-action adaptation of the Gen Z biblical horror, which has sold more than 3.4 million copies in total.
Kanna Hashimoto plays the main character Asuka Morisaki, who in Welzard's original manga is a high school student who sees the apparition of a dead student named Haruka.
Anime News Network explains the story in more detail: “Asuka and her friends try to find the eight scattered pieces of Haruka's corpse at school and learn more about the Red Person who is chasing them while doing so. The Red Person hunts down the students who are alone in the school to kill them, and until they exit the school gates, the Red Person will keep appearing before them. When Red Person kills a student, she scatters the student's body into eight pieces and asks someone else to find the pieces at the school. If Asuka fails to find Haruka's body, the day will keep repeating itself and her and her friends will keep dying until they do."
Eiichiro Hasumi directed the film Karada Sagashi for WB Japan.
