The Eiga.com entertainment news website reported on Sunday that the previously announced anime adaptation of Shogo Sugitani’s Pompo: The Cinéphile (Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san) manga will be an anime film.
Pompo: The Cinéphile depicts the craft of movie-making and revolves around Joelle Davidovich “Pompo” Pomponette, a talented movie producer who looks like a girl.
The manga centers on an aspiring actress named Francesca, who waits tables at the diner Eggnog to make ends meet.
Sugitani launched the spinoff manga Fran: The Cinéphile (Eiga Daisuki Fran-chan NYALLYWOOD STUDIOS SERIES) on the pixiv Comic website in July 2018.
