A live-action TV drama adaptation of ecchi manga Prison School (Kangoku Gakuen) has been announced for broadcast in October on MBS and TBS. Noboru Iguchi, who worked as an AV director, will direct the series. Iguchi most recently directed the tokusatsu film Nuiguruma Z, which stars Shoko Nakagawa.

Prison School is written and illustrated by Akira Hiramoto. It has been serialized in Kodansha's seinen Weekly Young Magazine since 2011. The 18th volume of the manga will be released on August 6. Prison School was one of the two winners of the Kodansha Manga Award for General Manga in 2013. Yen Press has licensed the manga for North American release, and the first volume was published in July.

The anime adaptation of the manga series is currently airing.

I'm not happy with the anime adaptation, so there's no doubt that I will hate the live-action too.

Definitely going to be shit.

I feel sorry for whoever plays Gakuto in the live action assuming he ain't a masochist.

Imagine if they force him to really shit himself,that would be funny.

I feel sorry for all the casts of this live action, whether they are female or male, they're all have to experience many embarrassing situations especially Hana,
I think the most badass and normal people in the live action would be the principal

Unsurprisingly, they got a porn director.

Inb4 they get some flat like a board ass girl to play Meiko.

Will wait for at least 1st teaser trailer to say more. Once we see the cast, we'll know is it watchable or nah.

It'll be real interesting to see who they think can live up to the physical expectations of Meiko and Mari. That deliciousness is only properly attained in 2D I think.

She looks young for her age though, they could definitely find a way to make her look like a teenager.

True, she's in her early 30s but what's the problem?
If you're talking about Meiko being a high school student, well when she first appeared in the series i was certain she was a teacher, so yeah...

why they choose Noboru Oguchi? People hate its anime bcoz of the episode number, 12 episode of one arc that consist of more than 100 chapter (maybe). JC Staff looks like just want to get some of the popularity of the manga, they did it good but maybe they dont see this anime will sell well in japanese market (we watch it illegally & we complaint) so they plan to get some decent rating and decent sell of uncensored blu-ray so its ok for them. Next ecchi anime in progress.

The anime (atm) is predicted ~6k sales, which is good.

Anyway, even as a fan, I'm questioning why the hell they're doing this. Yes, probably to give the manga more publicity, but no way in hell will they be able to capture half of the scenes. Especially the facial expressions.

The problem with japanese women is that they are afraid to show their teeth and they don't have curves.

I love the manga, and am enjoying the anime, despite its pace, but I fully expect this to be a trainwreck. An enjoyable trainwreck, but a trainwreck all the same.
