Happinet has announced Shuzo Oshimi’s popular manga Aku no Hana will be getting its own live action movie adaptation.
The live-action adaptation will be produced by Happinet together with Phantom Film. The movie’s script is being written by Mari Okada with direction by Noboru Iguchi.
The Aku no Hana (The Flowers of Evil) manga was first published in 2009 and later received a rotoscoped anime adaptation in 2013 by Sentai Filmworks.
The story of both the manga and anime followed bookworm Takao and his scandalous love affair with fellow classmate Nanako.
The film is set to premiere sometime in 2019.
Wasnt it already live action?
Headshot!
Rotoscoped live action hype
aku no hana anime is a piece of art. and i’m glad we have it instead of another cheap and forgetable anime adaptation.
i appreciate the director. he is a true man of culture.
while I am not with you about the art, Aku no hana is one of my top 3 best Anime/Manga, I am not sure If I bought the whole manga volumes but I have 4+ of them at least.
Something being memorable doesn’t make it good.
i genuinely loved what this show was going for, wish there was a second season
It will be hard to make something worse than the anime, so it is a sure-win.
the manga was cute, but then the director want the anime to be remembered, by rotoscoping it.
We’ll remember it for sure forever and ever. Such memorable piece of crap should be written down in the annals of history.
anime?
I’ll be honest, I watched it all because Saeki looked fuckable. I confess I even fapped to it! But yes, it was s♥♥t.
