And there it is. So he's trying to reach out but she's too hesitant to either say no or to reach out herself.

[MeoTwister5]

I think you're... uh... overthinking this.

[Dr. Casey]

Thank you for the feedback. I'll go ahead and delete the post if it was so shitty.

The picture is well-drawn, yay Tamako.

[Kismet-chan]

Pffft, that scan. His hand... So awkward. XD

[MeoTwister5]

I've been in a similar situation more times than I'd rather count so... yeah.

[Nachtwandler]

KyoAni. Never tired of trolling romance fans

[Miraluka]

Mochizo: I want romance...

Kyoani: Nope the Movie.

I always thought the series had a lot of unfulfilled potential, and I'm also optimistic this will be a nice spinoff.

So she's looking at him with a sense of wondering as to why he looks so peppy and happy.

Hmmm....

They keep showing Tamako and Mochizou together...

Edit:

Where the fuck is Midori? She's not even a factor anymore, is she?

Well, at least the trailer include her—though it just a split second.

Edit: extra info, credit for ultimatemegax.

Lots of things were announced today on the official site.

First, we have a new key visual with a new promo phrase "Their love is close, yet so far away."

Next, the theme song for the movie, "Principal," was announced. It is sung by Aya Suzaki, the seiyuu for Tamako. The single goes on sale April 30th from Pony Canyon for 1,200 yen. The accompanying B-track is "Koi no Uta" sung by Tamako Kitashirakawa. If that sounds familiar, it's the same name as the song sung by Mamedai/Dynamite Beans in episode 9, but phrased differently (this is in hiragana while Beans' ver was named in kanji).

Next, there is a new promotion to incentive people to buy tickets. Starting on March 15th, if you purchase a ticket to the movie at one of the theatres showing it, you'll get one of three reversible posters. (Tamkao/Mochizou, Midori/Kanna, Shiori/Anko)


The final piece of news is somewhat of a tease. There is a new interview with director Naoko Yamada posted, but it's only the first half. ultimatemegax said that he will post a translation of it later.

I think it's too early to say the K-ON! crew snubbed her....I hope.

ultimatemegax made translation of Director Yamada Interview, in his blog.

Quoting some part of the post here:

How did you decide what the movie would be about?
Assuming that the movie would depict Tamako, all sorts of ideas started to come out. Like a tale about her mother or when the shopping district was lively, so we started to think of how to tell a story that would completely show Tamako. All sorts of ideas came from that like a Mother’s day episode or Dera’s family showing up. (laughs)

I want to see that!
That may happen. (laughs) The one consistent requirement was that it had to dig into Tamako. If we were to depict a 17 year old girl, then where would her change occur? The school became a focal point.
This time, there are a lot of points where the audience will feel the the movie’s theme, love. Personally, I’ve been immensely bothered by the nature of Tamako and Mochizou’s relationship status. (laughs) Or perhaps I should say depicting her as being in love feels taboo…. I thought I might have to tell a dark story to dig into her character. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Because she did fall in love.
Yes. It may be a bit rude of me to talk about her in this manner, but she handles love as something unique.
I don’t mean pessimistically; a 17 year old girl taking her steps forward in life would surely think that “love” is a good thing, however I was extremely particular about how to to depict a girl that was close to falling in love. Though love itself is an extremely charming topic, it’s something that slowly, bit-by-bit, begins to bud in people in real life as they don’t sense it coming. It was quite troublesome to dig that out. It’s like trying to make a light pink color when mixing paints. Add a little too much or not enough of this color and it’s immensely wrong… Kinda like that. A love story is an immensely difficult challenge.

and you can read the rest at the ultimatemegax blog

Well, now I'm mostly certain that this film is gonna be a (true) love story.

ps: thanks for the translation, ultimatemegax.

Translated interview with Yamada

[Birdway]

"Or perhaps I should say depicting her as being in love feels taboo"
TBH, in Japan seems like being in love with someone was a taboo, even holding hands feels like a crime nobody should see/know for the main characters from Chu2 .

Yamada: Well, you’ll have to watch and see. A rival may show up. (laughs) This movie takes place in the spring of everyone’s third year in high school,where they all can’t avoid looking at their futures. Each of them have their own thoughts in mind they clutch close as they take a step forward. It’s not just Tamako who notices the situation; Mochizou makes a big decision and it becomes an adolescent drama.

Midori? Can't take her seriously besides her annoyingness.

Btw Mochizou would move away from house for studies? Sounds like something he would do.
