As before, the “Country of Cherry Blossoms” story will focus on Nanami Ishikawa, who is working as an editor in a publishing company.
The manga previously inspired a live-action film in 2007.
Actress Takako Tokiwa (20th Century Boys, Brave Story) will star as Nanami Ishikawa in the live-action series of Fumiyo Kouno’s Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms (Yūnagi no Machi, Sakura no Kuni) manga this year.
That manga received a live-action television film in 2011, and an anime film adaptation by Sunao Katabuchi and MAPPA in November 2016.
