This year’s 23rd issue of Kodansha’s Morning magazine revealed on Thursday that Kenshi Hirokane’s Chairman Kosaku Shima (Kaichō Shima Kōsaku) manga will get a live-action television special titled “Kaichō Shima Kōsaku Tokubetsu-hen: Fūka Rinko no Koi” (Rinko Fūka’s Romance).
Hirokane ended the Gakusei Shima Kōsaku (Student Kōsaku Shima) spinoff manga in Kodansha’s Evening magazine in April 2017, and launched the Gakusei Shima Kōsaku: Jūkatsu-hen (Student Kōsaku Shima: Job Hunting) spinoff in May 2017.
Hirokane and Shin Kibayashi’s Shima Kōsaku no Jikenbo (Kōsaku Shima Case Files) manga spinoff launched last August and ended last December.
The manga also inspired a live-action television special in 1996, and a Taiwanese television drama in 2005.
