Seinen manga

Mangaka: Sasou Akira (さそうあきら)

From this site:

Quote:
Winner of the "1998 (The Second) Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Festival award for excellence". Excerpt from the site giving the reasons for the award:
"This work is a music manga. You can almost hear the sound of the piano coming from the pages as you read. It is a convincing demonstration of how even "silent" manga can be used to express music. The delicate illustrations express the tempestuous emotions of the young girl and boy, while also creating a rhythm for the piano music. This work shows the new things that are possible with manga."
From AnimeNation:

I already said it in the manga forum, I hope it won't be wrong to repeat it here. The manga Sakuran, by Anno Moyoco, will get adapted as a live action movie as well.

Here's the cover of the manga.


And the Anno Moyoko thread. ^^

Nodame Cantabile (のだめカンタービレ) which I mentioned in my post here is not only geting an anime, but also a TV drama series

Its based on a josei manga thats serialized in the josei manga magazine Kiss.

I also forgot to mention this, but Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora is also getting a live action drama series too.

From AnimeNewsService:

Ooh, live action Mushishi. That would be interesting.

Another live-action TV series was announced!
According to ANS, there will be a live-action drama of the shoujo manga Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge (aka "The Wallflower" in the US). The live-action drama airs this October. An anime version will follow in January 2007. I can't wait to see it! It will probably be very similar to Nobuta o Produce, which was my favorite drama.....

The story is about a woman who lends her mansion to a group of young boys on one condition: they must turn her daughter (or was it niece? Granddaughter? I forget) into a nice lady. The problem? The young girl is basically the girl from The Ring Dark, scary, no social ability, locks herself in her room all day watching horror movies, keeps skeletons as pets, etc.... so it's quite an interesting comedy. I think a live-action suits it better, since the manga is awkward (the art isn't very good and the panel work isn't well done, in my opinion).

----------------------------------------------------------------

Another live-action series! Last year's popular live-action drama Hana Yori Dango will be getting another season. Viewers can log into the TBS website (station Hana Yori Dango will air on) to vote for which parts of the long manga they would like to see in this live-action season.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

More shoujo goodness! It's rare that a shoujo ANIMATED movie hits the theater screens, so I thought I would announce this movie:

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Maihitoyo~ (official site) comes out in Japanese theaters August 19. It's a shoujo movie based on the popular game/TV series/manga. The animation looks so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye~~~~. This movie is a spinoff of the TV anime Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyoshou~, which is currently available on AnimeSuki (except only half of it has been subbed ~_~ Come on, subbers, go pick it up~ *_*)

That's awesome. I just hope we can watch it without finishing the TV series. Actually, I don't think people would fansub the movie anyway.

Is it just me or are anime/novels getting a live action version left and right? That's very interesting.
