The novel series inspired the Eiga Fushigi Dagashiya Zenitendō anime, which was one of four segments in the new installment of the Toei Manga Matsuri omnibus film series revival.
The novel series’ story centers on the mysterious candy and snack shop Zenitendō, which only lucky people can find.
TOHO announced on Thursday that it is producing a live-action film adaptation of author Reiko Hiroshima and illustrator jyajya’s children’s novel series Fushigi Dagashiya Zenitendō, with Yūki Amami (Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler, Mary and The Witch’s Flower) playing the role of the mysterious shop proprietor Beniko.
A new series premiered with the anime’s 85th overall episode on the NHK Educational channel in April 2023.
