 A crowdfunding campaign was launched on Monday for an anime movie adaptation of the 1969 manga Kaze no You ni. The one-shot drawn by Tetsuya Chiba, best known for Ashita no Joe and Ashita Tenki ni Naare, was originally published in that year's 25th issue of Shoujo Friend magazine. Kaze no You ni tells the story of Sanpei, the lone survivor of an accident which killed the rest of his beekeeper family, and Chiyo, whom he meets after she is stung by a bee. Sanpei moves into Chiyo's village and begins to work on a tract of land that the villagers have abandoned. However, Sanpei later disappears. As flowers grow on the plot of land, Chiyo waits for Sanpei to return. Although the campaign has a funding target of 2 million yen, producer Hitomi Toyonaga points out that production costs exceed 20 million yen. Funds from the campaign, which runs through April 22 on the art crowdfunding platform FUNDIY, will be used to enhance the quality of animation. As of writing, 44% of that goal has been reached with a total backing of 896,000 yen. Kaze no You ni is estimated to premiere at the Shimokitazawa Tollywood theater in Tokyo in May 2016 or later. It will have an approximate running time of 40 minutes. Supporters who contribute 10,000 yen or more to the campaign will receive a DVD copy of the movie, expected to be delivered in August.

j0x said: Considering how Kickstarters are meant to be use, those ¥20M aren't meant to be the budget for the movie.first time i heard about that crowd funding site called fundiy, it combines fund and DIY (do it yourself), thats noice good luck to them for a movie thats cheap though, 20 million yen only cost less than 200,000 dollars so thats really a cheaply made anime Actually, it says so right in the OP lol. I doubt they'd have all the cast and stuff all ready if they weren't going forward with it anyway if the backing flopped. ¥10,000 for just a DVD is pretty costly though. |

| I would never donate for a campain that offer me a... DVD copy. Serious, It's 2016 guys, this should be a BD |
| LOL Joe Yabuki and Nishi as kids? There is a clone of Sachi too. ...and then suddenly this turns into Boxing,,, |

 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Sounds great! I really like Ashita no Joe |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

Even more with the fact even a manga adaption HaruMari has. |
| This looks interesting I would probably watch it if they do make it I like the old school look. |
 |
| Wel I am glad more works of Chiba are getting chance of having anime adaptions now. I am hope this reaches it goal since I would love towatch more work done by Chiba since he was one the two people who made my favorite anime of all time which Ashita no Joe. |
| Another successful crowdfunding, the future is here. |
