Honest, intelligent news and reviews for manga romantics
We’ve got some anime, live-action adaptation, manga and game announcements this week.
If you need motivation to get fit, Creative Freaks has an interesting otome game, now released in English on iOS and Android, Called Burn Fat with Me. Your mileage may vary on whether it’s actually motivating.
Fans of Akiko Higashimura, the creator of Princess Jellyfish, rejoice! The mangaka will be debuting a new series, Bishoku Tantei (Gourmet Detective) starting in the November issue of Shueisha’s Cocohana magazine.
The television commercial for Dance with Devils is out. According to Anime News Network, “The story revolves around Ritsuka Tachibana, a female second-year high school student who attends Shiko Academy in Shiko Town. She enjoyed her school life while living with her mother Maria, but one day, that balance fell into ruin. The anime is a story of Ritsuka being loved and being attracted to demons.” It debuts in October.
The full trailer for Ore Monogatari!!, the live-action film adaptation by Kazune Kawahara and Aruko has been posted.
Itazura na Kiss is getting a live-action Japanese film in 2016. The manga has already been adapted to several dramas. The adaptation stars Reina Bisa and Kanta Satou as the main characters.
My Little Monster mangaka Robico will be starting a new series in the newest issue of Dessert magazine. The series titled Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi (A Conversation Between You and Me) is a romantic high school comedy about Aizawa, a girl who is in love with her classmate Azuma, but she doesn’t talk much in school. In the train station, Aizawa says something completely unexpected to him.
Man the actors for Itazura no Kiss and My Love Story look so similar, same kinds of poses, vibe, and everything!
Another adaptation of Itazura!? Wow, they keep milking that series lol. Hopefully it’s a decent adaptation. Looking forward to that new manga, and that mobile otome game seems pretty offensive lol. That trailer.
