 Fuji TV's Blue Lynx label announced an anime film adaptation of Kanna Kii's Umibe no Étranger (The Stranger by the Beach, L'étranger de la plage) boys' love manga on Friday. The film will open in Japanese theaters in Summer 2020.Synopsis "There's nothing wrong with liking another guy." To be in the arms of the person I love... I thought that was an unattainable dream... On an island off the coast of Okinawa, two young men meet on a beach. Shun Hashimoto is gay and aspires to be a novelist. He is interested in Mio Chibana, a somber high school student, and starts to flirt with him. Day by day, the two of them grow closer, but then, suddenly, Mio decides to leave the island. Three years later, Mio returns and approaches Shun with the words, "I've thought about it for the past three years. I like you, Shun, even if you're a guy." However, when faced with the prospect of finally becoming lovers with Mio, Shun cannot take the first step towards commitment. This is a tantalizing love story about a gay novelist and a younger part-time worker. (Source: Renta!, edited) Akiyo Oohashi (Houseki no Kuni promotional video, Sakura Capusule) is serving as the director, scriptwriter, and drawing the storyboard for the anime film at Studio Hibari.

| holy smokes i totally forgot about this manga. i read it a while ago and it was pretty sweet, i'm happy to see it's getting a movie adaption! looking forward to it |
  placeholder text |
| I've heard of the Manga, but I had avoided it, because I try to avoid stuff with sex in it, but if the Anime tones that down, I'll definitely watch it. |
 |
| oh, it's time to catch up with the manga now |
| OMG YESS hope the animation lives up to it cuz the mangaka's art is so pretty |
 |
| OMG MY FAV MANGA GOT AN ADAPTATION TTTTT Hoping it will be tv series tho....:"(, anyway still hyped!!! |
 |
| I'm so excited! I love Mio and Shun's relationship, and I'm surprised but happy that Kii Kanna is going to do the character designs as well as supervise the film! The slice of life atmosphere and of course cute, simple art are what sells the series for me. I've gone back to re-read the released content many times while waiting for new chapters ^^ The official site is also wonderful with its background sound of waves...so relaxing. |
| oh, i've been planning to read this! time to start reading it and await the movie! |
| Ahhhh yesssss this manga is really funny and cute! |
| Oh my god!! I am so happy!! I love this manga so much. It's so innocent and sweet and light hearted. Waiting for the film is going to be painfully hard! Now, I hope we also get a Shimanami Tasogare anime film. |
| Seeing this news was so unexpected but so appreciated. The manga is so lovely and I really loved reading it despite how short it is. I know there's a sequel manga that I haven't gotten round to yet as its still publishing (I prefer to read completed things) but I do wonder if the film will adapt some of that. Either way, I'm so happy such a good manga got picked up and I really look forward to watching it (assuming someone is kind enough to sub it ^^;) |

| Thank you Lord! Another BL anime! Yay! |
