BeSTAR Comics published Kara-chan to Shito-san to along with the Yadokari manga
Kodoani.com – Film production company Stardust Pictures has just established a new branch in the manga field, named BeSTAR Comics on Friday. The company plans to publish comic books that have the potential to be adapted into live action.
BeSTAR Comics will leverage the capabilities of the Stardust Promotion group of companies (of which Stardust Pictures is a part) in publishing and developing film projects. Their goal is to produce manga that can later be adapted into notable live action projects.
The first two manga under this label were “Kara-chan to Shito-san to” (Kara-chan & Shito-san &) by Minato Takano and Futonchirashi, as well as “Yadokari” (Hermit Crab) by Hiraku Nakamura and Bull.
“Kara-chan & Shito-san &” follows Kara, a food lover, and Shito, a sauna enthusiast, as they explore private saunas across Japan.
Meanwhile, “Yadokari” revolves around Kentarō, a young man with a strong sense of justice and the goal of becoming a politician. He suddenly switches places with Ryūji, a notorious gangster.
Takano wrote the scripts for the live-action “Kakegurui” and “Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!”, both of which are based on the manga. Bull is the pen name of manga author Hirokazu Fukuda.
