The official website for the live-action film adaptation of Osamu Eya and Kaiji Kawaguchi’s Kūbo Ibuki (Aircraft Carrier Ibuki) manga revealed additional cast members for the film on Thursday.
Central Park Media released the naval anime special The Silent Service inspired by Kawaguchi’s manga, and Geneon Entertainment (USA) released the Zipang television anime.
The manga is unrelated to his earlier time-traveling war manga Zipang, which he also drew in Kodansha’s Morning magazine until 2009.
In response to a near-skirmish with China near the disputed Senkaku Islands, Japan builds the Ibuki aircraft carrier.
