Maybe you're right, an anime will come sooner or later anyway XD thanush said: BigSimo said: This. Guess the series is not that popular considering the author had to cut the manga short.yankee + megane anime adaptation please I do not think that it is so unpopular, even in Italy was published, you see a little! symbv said: obviouslygeeky said: The manga of Yankee+Megane ended in 2011 and a total of 23 volumes published. And I don't know how people can call the end of a manga that ran for over 20 volumes as "cut short".Has it been cut short? I thought it was still ongoing... I do not think you will not face an anime, though with only a few other manga volumes han had their chance, why not give it even to this manga? Returning to the manga in question I was reading it was not so bad, it was comical, some did not shine for being one of my favorites, but if there will be the possibility of an anime I'll give him a chance! |

| Damn I thought it said TV anime for a sec. |

| Well, if this gets subbed, it looks like I'm going to have to get into Live Action. |
terrablu2003 said: The question is: If it already has a live-action adaptation the case of also doing an anime adaptation is much weaker. To raise awareness and boost sales of the manga, live action adaptation can do even better than anime, which has much more restricted following and more niche market. For material that is hard to do in live action (space opera, fantasy combat), or with contents that are difficult to appeal to the mainstream (relies a lot on moe elements or harem/ecchi genre), then anime adaptation is a much better choice, perhaps even the only possible choice. Of course we do have examples of manga adapted to anime AND live action (e.g. Kimi ni Todoke), but usually it is anime first and, when demand is deemed high enough, go for live action. I find it hard to recall a case when live action adaptation came first and anime later.Maybe you're right, an anime will come sooner or later anyway XD I do not think you will not face an anime, though with only a few other manga volumes han had their chance, why not give it even to this manga? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| anime series please |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| I had preferred Anime that one Live Action :v |

Oh well. It really is unfortunate. Unless the live series is based on an already popular anime, it's not likely to see any attention from fansubbers or official localizations. There is still a chance it could end up on Crunchyroll though. http://www.crunchyroll.com/videos/drama Edit: ^Ooh, never knew about that. |

What are you talking about symbv? How could you not know how big the Jdrama fansub community is? From what you understand, how likely is a TV drama adapted from a manga like this one gets subbed quickly when it is broadcast? From what I see, there can be far more TV drama series each week compared to anime, with more stations and more time slots (ranging from early morning to deep in midnight), so I wonder how big the percentage of all TV drama aired on Japan TV gets subbed by fans. |

| i wish its a anime adaption |
     |
| Interesting... I love the manga so I want to watch it! And I hope they'll make an anime adaptation sometime in the future. |
| Looking foward to it just hope they would just start with an anime adaption. |
 |
| need to read and marathon the manga. |
 **☾** |
| A live action one? Seriously. |
| wow~ nice! this mangaka got another live-action adaptation! hmm...curious about the same gender kisses.... |
| Danm was hoping for an anime but oh well |
| This sounds really good *adds to list* might scrub up on the manga first before getting stuck into the LA. Also, I've added this to the 'Live Action Adaptations' club:  |
| ♥ |
| Whoever plays Yamada in the live action is gonna be so lucky, kissing girls.... though it sucks when you have to do it with guys too.. |
| Signature |
| Well. I'll at least read the manga. |

| Awww damn I really wanted this series to get an anime adaptation. Ah well, a live-action TV show is better than nothing. I feel bad for the actor playing as Yamada who has to kiss guys as well as girls ROFL! |

At least that's what I'd imagine (and if only I knew how to sub, I would definitely try to take it on myself, depending on the difficulty level (I'm not awesome at Japanese, but it's good enough for thranslating manga. Dunno about live action, where I don't have the written script.) |

Yeah... Pretty much, how good it is would depend on the actors' ability to act, which I don't see a lot that BOTH looks like the characters, and can act well, so we pretty much have to lose something. Also, they did kissing in Drake and Josh, so there's something. If they guy looks enough like a girl(which I don't imagine him to, or maybe they are going to have a girl play the role of a bishounen?), it might be alright |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| They pick the manga with the weirdest high school supernatural concept ever for live action? The manga itself is good, but that's a bunch of kissing and genderbending to do in real life. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| why live-action? With such a plot it was much easier and better to make the anime. |

| live action? Must be interesting. |
waalex11 said: live action? Must be interesting. Not if: The acting is subpar. Since the manga characters weren't real people, the personality switch was done perfectly and very convincingly, can't say the same for the real life actors until we see them or the actors are ugly. 2D and 3D transition tends to get messy... So the characters we love might not look the same as we expect or Guys in real life kissing... Dunno if that would work out for the audience. Though you might like it, I don't think I will. |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| This is fast...But I'm definitely looking forward for this one...^_^ |
| Sounds good, but will this work with all the kissing going around in that manga, not to mention that Yamada kissed Miyamura who is another boy a lot of times. Are they going to censor all the kisses? Use female actresses to play the boys that Yamada would have to kiss? I am really curious. Will surely take a peek. |
| Oh dang, the first time around I thought I read that this was getting an anime adaptation... Live-action? Not quite what I was expecting, and not sure if want. |

Who knows I guess, maybe they would use some camera tricks or something. |
