The December issue of Shogakukan’s Ciao magazine revealed on Saturday that the 2020 Doraemon film Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Shin Kyoryū (Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur) is inspiring a manga adaptation in the magazine.
The film also has a manga adaptation in Shogakukan’s Coro Coro Comics magazine that launched in September.
Despite the film’s similarity in title to Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Dinosaur, the first film in the franchise, the story is completely different.
Kazuaki Imai, an episode director on the Doraemon television anime, and the director of 2018’s Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island film, is directing the 40th film.
