20-year-old Keiko Suenobu's survival suspense manga Limit. The story follows five high school girls after a bus accident kills the rest of their classmates and leaves them fighting for survival in the mountains.

Shinohara will play Mizuki Konno, the second-year high school student who steels herself and matures in light of the girls' dire situation. She talked about the sense of realism she felt in the story's portrayal of the students' nuanced emotions when she read the scripts. She also acknowledged the pressure she felt since the original manga has many fans.

Also playing the schoolgirls are:

18-year-old Nao Tsuchiya (Suzuki-sensei, Mayonaka no Pan-ya-san) as Chieko Kamiya

16-year-old 12th National Ayano Kudō as Haru Ichinose
