Disney announced on Friday that Hitoshi Iwaaki’s Tanabata no Kuni (Tanabata Country) manga is getting a live-action series adaptation that will debut on Disney+’s “Star” brand in July.
The live-action series will star Kanata Hosoda as Yōji Minamimaru.
Iwaaki’s Parasyte (Kiseiju) manga ran from 1990 to 1995 and inspired an anime series and two live-action films from 2014-2015.
The manga centers on Yōji Minamimaru, nicknamed Nanmaru.
