Here is actress Hana Sugisaki again as Rin Asano, but this time, without the costume.

The staff also revealed brand new still images from the movie itself.

Previously, the staff revealed the film’s latest trailer and visual. The manga follows Rin and her bodyguard, Manji, in their quest for vengeance against the people who murdered Rin’s parents. The manga also inspired an anime adaptation back in 2008.

Takashi Miike is directing the film, which premieres on 29 April 2017.
