Tokyo Shutter Girl is the story of a female high school student who learns more about herself through interacting with the various people she meets while taking pictures as part of her school’s photography club.
The work depicts a lyrical and unique worldview while showing famous locations throughout Tokyo. There are many fans who have been captivated by the work’s beautiful scenery and cute main character.
Currently, seichi junrei, travelling to real-world locations used in manga and anime, are popular, and due to Tokyo Shutter Girl also making use of actual locations in Tokyo, it is becoming popular as well with fans as a seichi junrei work.
Continuing from holding a photo exhibit that attracted many people, Kenichi Kiriki, the author of the manga, is acting as producer of the live-action film that is slated to release this December. The film’s depiction of a young girl’s maturity through an emotional time amid a backdrop of beautiful scenery is impressive.
