Kokuriko-zaka Kara is originally a shoujo manga serialized in Nakayoshi magazine in 1980. Miyazaki Hayao loves the manga and Studio Ghibli managed the re-release of the manga this July.
Synopsis:
Adolescence comedy taking place in 1963. Komatsuzaki Umi is a high school girl. She takes care of her brother and sister and manages a western-style lodge next to the sea instead of her mother, who is always away from home. It's about her happy and busy school life with Kazama Shun, a member of the newspaper club, and Mizunuma Shiro, the president of the student council.

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).
Hopefully, this will be a better film than the previous but if his film can be on par with Hayao's, then I would show respect for him. If it's worse than the previous film, Well, there's always another chance i Guess but his rep will just start decreasing.
I am expecting great things. I quite liked Tales of Earthsea even though it was clear that Goro was completely inexperienced and really needed his father's help.
This time around, he is working with his father, so I am not expecting another Pom Poko or Ponyo (AKA a bad film).
Plus, his artwork is better than anyone else currently at Ghibli.
I'm so going to watch this thing. Not because it's Ghibli or because Hayao Miyazaki loved this Manga enough to animate it, no, it's because of Goro only. I'm very interested in how much he can mature doing this and how he'll fight to throw away the imagine of "Hayao's son".
I'll stay tuned.
dont think the majority of people realize that they love ghibli due to hayao and that he isnt directing this..... Well I am interested to see if Goro will take up his father's mantle and lead Ghibli into another era. Cause unfortunately Hayao cant be around forever making fabulous movies ;_;
Miyazaki Goro? Yeah, no. I won't watch any movie he's breathed on after the abomination that was Tales from Earthsea. Even if he has improved, it won't be nearly enough to make a semi-decent movie.
Some part of me believes Hayao Miyazaki actually hates this manga. It's the only reason I can imagine him letting his son direct it. Or he's gone senile. Either way. In general Ghibli kind of fails at adaptations, but maybe this being a manga instead of a foreign novel gives it some hope.
I'm looking forward to the release of this since it comes out on my birthday! xD Too bad I can't be in Japan though... ==" Hope it's not too disappointing.. Since I haven't seen tales from earthsea yet, I don't know what Goro's work is like in comparison to Hayaos'..but I'm hoping it will be good.. It IS Ghibli after all ^^

(I didn't even knew that hayao actually read manga's)
LOL. You know, it's hard to write manga when you didn't read it xD
And also i don't think that ghibli is bad with manga adaptations, "whisper of the heart" is one of my favourites.
And also i think "pom poko" is definetly one of their best.
About this movie: i'm looking forward to it, epsecially because Hayao Miyazaki is the one who written script here.
but what happened to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter? I've seen it on wiki on one of ghibli's future films for a long time, yet they announced this movie instead. I feel like the bamboo cutter was there even before Borrowers Arrietty.
