After CrowsZero and Crows Zero 2, Hiroshi Takahashi's hit manga gets another installment titled, Crows Explode.

With a whole new cast, the movie will pick up one month after the end of Crows Zero 2. Now that the old leaders graduated, a new yakuza-like war will start between the new students in order to decide who will control the high school.

The movie contains a lot of action scenes. In one of them, actor Nagayama Kento, who plays the role of a young delinquent, got cut during filming, but says while laughing, "Maybe I bled a little, but that's only because I take the role too seriously. This doesn't hurt at all".

With Matsumoto Jun ( Hana Yori Dango, Kimi Wa Petto, Gokusen)  and Ueno Juri ( Nodame Cantabile, Last Friends) as main leads, the upcoming romantic movie is getting a lot of buzz in and outside of Japan.
