"Aura" Anime Film Promo Released

The promo for the "Aura: Maryuuinkouga Saigo no Tatakai" movie was released on its official website.

This romantic comedy is based on Romeo Tanaka's light novel, of the same name, that was published in 2008 by Shogakukan.

The story revolves around a high school freshman, Ichirou "Menzu" Satou, who forgets his textbook at school one day. He then encounters a beautiful girl while sneaking back into his school in the middle of the night. The girl calls herself a witch from a parallel world. Ichirou used to suffer delusions of grandeur like this, but vowed to stop so that he can successfully re-invent himself as a freshman in high school.

Produced by AIC A.S.T.A. and directed by Seiji Kishi (Persona 4, Angel Beats!, My Bride is a Mermaid/Seto no Hanayome), the film will be opened in Japanese theatres next spring.
