The official website for the live-action series of Norifusa Mita’s Dragon Zakura Two sequel manga revealed on Tuesday that Yurina Hirate will play Kaede Iwasaki, who is a top-level badminton player in Japan.
The 2003-2007 Kodansha Manga Award-winning Dragon Zakura manga previously inspired a live-action television series in 2005, with a sequel in 2010, and a Korean live-action television series in 2010.
Mita’s Angel Bank: Dragon Zakura Gaiden manga also inspired a Japanese live-action project in 2010.
Mita (Investor Z) launched the Dragon Zakura Two manga in Kodansha’s Morning magazine in January 2018.
