The official website for the live-action film adaptation of Osamu Eya and Kaiji Kawaguchi’s Kūbo Ibuki (Aircraft Carrier Ibuki) manga began streaming a teaser for the film on Thursday.
The manga is unrelated to his earlier time-traveling war manga Zipang, which he also drew in Kodansha’s Morning magazine until 2009.
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.
Kuranosuke Sasaki plays Toshiya Niinami, a Maritime Self-Defense Force officer and the executive officer of the Ibuki.
