Japanese production company Leone announced on Tuesday that it is producing live-action film adaptations of both Naoki Yamamoto’s manga Young & Fine and Ryo Hanmura’s text short story Tonari no Uchūjin (The Alien Next Door).

Toshiya Kominami, the assistant director for the live-action film of Naoki Yamamoto’s Believers manga (which Leone also produced), is directing Young & Fine.
