The broadcaster NTV announced on Wednesday that it is delaying the second episode of The Files of Young Kindaichi, the newest live-action series of Fumiya Sato and Seimaru Amagi’s detective manga The Kindaichi Case Files (Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo), by one week.
Instead, NTV will air a new version of “Akuma Kumikyoku Satsujin Jiken” (The Devil’s Suite Murder Case), the first episode from the second live-action Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo series starring Tsuyoshi Dōmoto from 1996.
The Kindaichi Case Files manga centers around a high school boy named Hajime Kindaichi who usually seems dull.
It is the first worldwide release for an NTV live-action series, and part of Nippon TV Holdings’ strategic partnership with Walt Disney Japan.
