MBS revealed on Friday that it is producing a live-action series adaptation of Saburō Nagai’s Smells Like Green Spirit manga that will premiere on MBS’ “Dramafil” programming block on September 19.
The series will premiere on MBS and TV Kanagawa on September 19, on TV Saitama on September 23, on Gunma TV on September 24, on Tochigi TV on September 25, and on Chiba TV on September 26.
The manga is set in a sleepy rural town during the Heisei era, and centers on Futoshi Mishima.
Long bullied and teased for “looking gay,” Mishima has also decided to wear lipstick and cross-dress in secret to comfort himself.
