Nobuhiro Doi (Jūhan Shuttai!, Season of the Sun) is directing the series, and Yoshikazu Otada (Hyokko) is writing the script.
The official website for the live-action television series adaptation of Fumiyo Kouno’s In This Corner of the World and Yūtarō Furutachi will star in a newly written, original part set in the modern day.
The manga previously inspired a live-action film in 2007.
This beautiful yet poignant tale shows that even in the face of adversity and loss, people can come together and rebuild their lives.
