Television station Fuji TV announced an anime film adaptation of Kou Yoneda's Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai (Twittering Birds Never Fly) boys' love manga on Friday. Subtitled The Clouds Gather, the film will open in Japan this winter.

Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai will be the first title under Fuji TV's Blue Lynx label, which the company launched on Tuesday. The label will focus on the boys' love genre and primarily produce theatrical animation.

Synopsis
Yashiro is the young leader of Shinseikai and the president of the Shinseikai Enterprise, but like so many powerful men, he leads a double life as a deviant and a masochist. Chikara Doumeki comes to work as a bodyguard for him and, although Yashiro had decided that he would never lay a hand on his own men, he finds that there is something about Doumeki that he can't resist.

Yashiro makes advances toward Doumeki, but Doumeki has mysterious reasons for denying. Yashiro, who abuses his power just to abuse himself, and Doumeki, who faithfully obeys his every command, begin the tumultuous affair of two men with songs in their hearts and no wings to fly.

What??????? REALLY? Never in a million years would I have guessed this oh my god?? YONEDA KOU? SAEZURU?? This beautiful manga and a character like Yashiro getting brought to life, I'm so excited! What a gift! The visuals look promising I think.

The scene at 0:31 though, such a contradiction with the kind of music playing. Ugh they did this on purpose to get the feels going.

Holy crap, what is with this chain of BL manga getting adapted?? First Given and now this????

Saezuru was the manga that got me into BL and I love it to death. Yoneda Kou's works are all so beautiful and I'm so glad that Saezuru's getting the adaptation it desrves.

The production is looking really stacked for a BL adaptation. Kaori Makita was the episode director for Yuri!!! On Ice and Banana Fish, and Hiroshi Seko was the scriptwriter for Banana Fish and Mob Psycho 100 II. The only worry I have is about the animation studio as Grizzly is a new studio with their only work before this being the Yarichin Bitch Club OVA... but from the PV the animation doesn't look too bad, so I'm really hopeful!!

The official website has hints that this film will be the first part of a series because it mentions that this film is the "first chapter". I'm guessing it could be a trilogy that maybe adapts the whole story or at least catch up with the manga.

Oh, I’d my eyes on this for a while after finding out it ranked 4th in the 2016 Kono Manga Sugoi, I think it was, but kept away because of the potential BL. Well, I’ll be hoping the BL element will be kept to a minimum and other departments to excel, mildly looking forward to this!

It's very BL even if the yakuza setting is well done.


Right, thanks for letting me know!

Hurray, another gay tragedy-porn. I was totally over these stories after Mysterio got the D up his bum by the Joker a decade ago.

Saezuru anime is happening? This feels unreal. I can't process. The art looks more than faithful, so beautiful. GRIZZLY is at again and I trust them to deliver. Blue Lynx is a godsend. I'm excited to witness what the future holds for BL anime. I need drama CD cast to stay.

I haven't actually gotten to the manga but I see a lot of people say it's quality. I get skeptical with BL titles though. Most of them aren't as good as their ratings or reviews imply.

But getting any M/M material these days especially quality ones is sparse.

WOW can't wait !!!! Yoneda's work deserved to have at least one adaptation, glad it will be this one, the PV looked really good. I hope one day it will be Kyuugou's Acid Town & Ike Reibun's Bi no Isu turn too, both are yakuza stories and like Yoneda's some of the best i've read.

I am hyped for this and glad it is happening, but as we all know the trend with animated BL, or novel turned movies, they over-censor to the point of deleting entire chapters because it had a reference to a BJ [e.g. Love Stage, Junjou Romantica, Embracing Love]. Now I'm not a smut-addict, but PG-rated content, especially sexual, is a core part of the edginess and plot here. The manga also has one of the most wholesome scenes in this context later on. What I want to know is, how much of this will be cut to the point where it damages the overall feel of the story?

Holy mother of God!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best!
I can’t count how many times, I have read the Manga because, I just love it so much. And every time I finish reading and waiting for updates of new chapters. I always thought that this story will be amazing if they make and animated series of it, and now it’s happening, and in the big screen? how amazing is that! GOD I can’t! My heart is totally exploding of happiness and excitement.
I’m counting days now.
This story is amazing and I really admire the author Kou Yoneda. I hope that there will be chapters coming more and more.
I wish the best on everyone working on it. Thank you.
