Yes this will only work if they're hot and wearing tattered clothing. You know it, I know it, everyone who's ever seen the girls from Ikki Tousen know it.

I've never read the comic but I know what the girls look like. Tendou, the walking Wikipedia of this site has read them and I'm curious to get his reaction on this. Still my reaction is that they better be attractive. I'm sure Tokyo Pop know this already as they are the ones spear heading this project.

While it would be nice if they hired Japanese actresses I'm doubtful that will happen. Hey I'm a realist, I know for most people Asian is Asian and that's that (nationality be damned) but hey I'd like to see a Japanese character played by a Japanese actress. Still I guess if people accepted a Casper Van Dien as the Filipino Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers then I guess they'll accept any hot big breasted hot chick to play Ryofu.

Maybe they might hire people who can “reasonably” pass for High School students (which seems to be a problem. That 20 something chick Bandai got to play Haruhi just didn’t work. Goddamn that was bad). For more info on this check out the link below.
