The live-action series will be a modern interpretation of the 1970 dark fantasy story.
MBS announced on Thursday that it is producing a live-action series adaptation of Osamu Tezuka’s Apollo’s Song (Apollo no Uta) manga that will premiere on the “Dramaism” programming block on MBS and TBS on February 18.
In the modern interpretation, Shōgo lives with a woman he doesn’t love and freeloads off her money.
Ken Ninomiya (Chiwawa-chan, Tonkatsu DJ Agetarō live-action films) is directing the series, and is also penning the scripts.
