Fuji TV revealed on Thursday that it is producing a live-action series adaptation of Ryo Ikuemi’s Itoshi no Nina (Nina, My Love) manga that will debut on its Fuji TV on Demand (FOD) service this spring.
Ikuemi’s Pops manga inspired an original video anime in 1993, her Kiyoku Yawaku manga inspired a live-action film in 2013, and her Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo manga inspired a live-action television series in 2017.
Ikuemi launched the Eine Kleine Nachtmusik manga, based on the novel by Kōtarō Isaka, on Gentosha’s Comic Boost manga website in January 2019.
The manga’s story begins when Masa tells his best friend Atsushi that he has kidnapped Nina, a girl that Atsushi has a crush on.
