Bakuman Movie’s Promotional Flyer

We’ve seen Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke as Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito back in May 2014… but I thought you guys might want to see this promotional leaflet, since the illustrations they are holding originals by Obata Takeshi!

The film is a youth drama that depicts the struggles of 2 high school students: Moritaka Mashiro and Takagi Akito, as they strive to be a successful mangaka pair that aims to be serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump. The poster shows the two protagonists holding an illustration drawn by the manga artist, Obata Takeshi-sensei, himself.

In addition to Sato & Kamiki, the film also features a star-studded supporting cast headed by prolific young actor Sometani Shota as their rival mangaka - Niizuma Eiji, Komatsu Nana as the heroine - Azuki Miho, Yamada Takayuki, Lily Franky, Kudo Kankuro, Kiritani Kenta, Sarutoki Minagawa and Arai Hirofumi. The film is directed by One Hitoshi (Moteki).

"Bakuman" will be in Japanese theaters on October 03, 2015.

Bakuman Live Action

A live action film for Bakuman has just been green-lit for release in 2015 according to Anime News Network, and Rurouni Kenshin stars Sato Takeru (Himura Kenshin / Battousai) and Kamiki Ryunosuke (Seta Soujiro) have been cast for the lead roles as Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito respectively!

Takeru Satoh (Kamen Rider Den-O, Beck, Kanojo wa Uso o Ai Shisugiteru, Ryōmaden) plays 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) plays 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 upcoming live-action sequel film Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno (Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Taika-hen).

I am squealing with joy while hyperventilating with excitement! I can’t help but think this is Kenshin’s and Soujiro’s reincarnation into modern times, but heck, 2015 can’t get here soon enough!

Rurouni Kenshin: Seta Soujiro

A young assassin trained by Shishio Makoto, Soujiro Seta is known for his lack of emotions, or rather hiding them behind his smiling face. He is often polite and refers to others with Japanese suffixes, even when he is being sarcastic. He is also well-known for his superhuman speed, which is superior even to that of Kenshin’s.

This is apparently the first official photo of Japanese actor, Kamiki Ryunosuke as Seta Soujiro in the second Rurouni Kenshin live action film, “Rurouni Kenshin: The Great Kyoto Fire Arc”. I am absolutely thrilled and excited about this new character! He is definitely one of my favorites, second only to Kenshin and Misao. I really hope this movie premiers very soon! Thanks to Xing for sending this in!
