The official Twitter account for Wataru Watanabe’s Yowamushi Peda (Yowapeda) live-action adaptation has just dropped profile shots of the cast in costume. Check them all out here!

The original manga centers on Sakamichi Onoda, an otaku who goes to Sōhoku High School. He loves anime and games so much that he would cycle to Akihabara (about 90kms in a round trip) just to get his fix. He eventually encounters his school’s cycling team and his life changes when he takes part in competitive bike racing.
