Toei announced on Monday that Mineo Maya’s Tonde Saitama manga is getting a live-action film adaptation that will open in 2019.
The manga inspired a stage play adaptation that ran in Tokyo and Osaka in March and April, and a live-action film adaptation with the same cast and staff will open in Japan this fall.
In the story, those who live in Saitama prefecture are ruthlessly persecuted by those who live in Tokyo, so the citizens of Saitama prefecture hide this fact from others.
Takarajimasha published a new compiled version of the manga in 2015 titled Kono Manga ga Sugoi! comics Tonde Saitama.
