The official website for the live-action film of Usamaru Furuya’s Teiichi no Kuni (Teiichi’s Country) manga began streaming a teaser for the film on Tuesday.
The manga has already inspired three stage plays, and the latest stage play, “Saishūshō” Gakuran Kageki: Teiichi no Kuni -Kessen no Last Dance- (“Final Chapter” School Uniform Opera: Teiichi’s Country -Bloody Battle’s Last Dance-), ran in Tokyo in March.
Furuya launched Teiichi no Kuni (Teiichi’s Country) in the inaugural issue of Jump SQ.19 in May 2010, but moved the manga to the main Jump Square magazine in its March 2012 issue.
The manga’s story follows the high school student Teiichi Akaba and his student government struggles at a private boys’ school in Shōwa-era Japan.
