This year's 43rd issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday three new manga artist characters for the live-action film of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's Bakuman. manga. Kenta Kiritani (Beck, Crows Zero) will play Shinta Fukuda, Sarutoki Minagawa (Death Note, Ashurajō no Hitomi) will play Takurō Nakai, and Hirofumi Arai (Kiki's Delivery Service, Space Brothers) will play Kazuya Hiramaru.

Takeru Satoh (Kamen Rider Den-O, Beck, Kanojo wa Uso o Ai Shisugiteru, Ryōmaden) will play Moritaka Mashiro, a boy who aspires to be a manga artist, and Ryunosuke Kamiki (Howl's Moving Castle, Summer Wars, The Secret World of Arrietty, The Princess and the Pilot) will play his classmate and story collaborator Akito Takagi. The film follows Mashiro and Takagi as they walk the path to becoming manga creators.

The two lead actors happen to also co-star as Kenshin Himura and Sōjirō Seta in the live-action sequel films Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno (Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen) and Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends (Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen). Up-and-coming actress Nana Komatsu (Kawaki) will play the heroine Miho Azuki.

Hitoshi Ōne (Moteki, Koi no Uzu/The Vortex of Love) is directing the film. Obata emphasized that he is not just credited as a creator of the film's concept, but also as a staff member directly involved in the production. His own art will appear in the film as the various manga that Mashiro draws.

The two creators of Death Note serialized the Bakuman. manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 2008 to 2012, and Shueisha published over 15 million copies of the manga's 20 compiled volumes. The manga inspired three television anime series from 2010 to 2013. Viz Media publishes the manga in North America, and Media Blasters released part of the television anime on DVD in North America. The manga topped the Male category of the "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" list in 2010.

The live-action film is slated to open in Japan in 2015.

Hmm, wonder how far it'll cover into the manga. Did they mention that anywhere? I mean I suppose they can get to the end, but they'll be skipping a lot if that's the case

@flipocrisy, the Bakuman manga series has 20 volumes, it would be hard to incorporate every thing into the movie, so I guess, as you said, they will be skipping a lot. I haven't read a news article that stated in detail what parts of the manga series they will be covering for the movie.

Eiga reported that three more actors join the cast of the live-action Bakuman film. The film stars Takeru Satoh (Kamen Rider Den-O, Rurouni Kenshin) and Ryunosuke Kamiki (Rurouni Kenshin) as aspiring manga creators Moritaka Mashiro and Akito Takagi respectively.

Joining the cast are Kankuro Kudo (Zebraman) as Taro Kawaguchi, Moritaka's uncle and his original inspiration to become a manga artist; Takayuki Yamada (GANTZ, The Hero Yoshihiko) as Akira Hattori, the Weekly Shonen Jump editor who saw Mashiro and Akito's talent as creators and helps them along the way; and Lily Franky (As The God's Will) as Sasaki, Weekly Shonen Jump Editor-in-chief who watches Mashiro and Akito's progress.

To prepare for their roles, Yamada and Franky are said to have visited Weekly Shonen Jump's editorial department to observe interactions between the people who work there.

The live-action Bakuman film is directed by Hitoshi Ōne (Moteki, Koi no Uzu/The Vortex of Love) and is set to premiere next year.

Sakanaction to perform the theme song for the live action “Bakuman” film
July 1, 2015

tumblr_nqslsu6yQe1u0s9l5o1_540.jpg

In a press release earlier today it was confirmed that electronic-rock band Sakanaction have been tapped to provide the theme song for the live action adaptation of popular Shounen Jump manga Bakuman.  This powerful and upbeat number will be titled “Shin Takarajima” (“New Treasure Island”; named after the manga of the same title by Tezuka Osamu) and was written over a period of 6 long months during which frontman Yamaguchi Ichiro intensely studied the manga format, ultimately achieving what he deemed a high degree of lyrical perfection as a result.

Bakuman was created by the duo of Ohba Tsugumi and Obata Takeshi, the same pair who worked on the manga Death Note together, and tells the story of two fledgling mangaka who are attempting to work together to create a manga popular enough to have an anime series made of it.  The main characters Moritaka Mashiro (the artist) and Takagi Akito (the writer) will be played by Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke respectively.

The movie isn’t set to hit theaters until October 3rd of this year, but a trailer containing a snippet of “Shin Takarajima” can be found right after the jump, so don’t hesitate to read on.

[Video Clip] Bakuman full trailer reveals awesome acting showdowns!

The earlier released Bakuman trailer is already quite promising, but wait till to see the full trailer below!

bakuman.jpg

One of the most exciting and fulfilling J-animes I've seen over the years, Bakuman has a lot to offer - just the story of two struggling manga artists is enough to keep you glued on the screen, plus the fact they have to face a formidable opponent, years ahead in the manga publication game!

Of course, the live action cast features two of Japan's best known young actors - Ryunosuke Kamiki and Shota Sometani and one of the youngest Box office wonders - Takeru Sato - who now commands the attention and adulation of fans around the world due to the recent Kenshin saga. Bakuman promises to be these talents' latest conquest and what exciting acting match ups await all of us!
