The website for the live-action film adaptation of Satoshi Karasuya's autobiographical Onobori Monogatari manga began streaming a two-minute trailer for the film last week. The coming-of-age story in the original manga follows the trials and tribulations of a budding manga creator after he moves to Tokyo from the countryside. Karasuya based his four-panel manga on his own experiences in Tokyo. The manga ran in Takeshobo's Manga Club magazine from 2006 to 2008, and the complete series was compiled into one volume in 2008.

The film stars 30-year-old actor Yoshio Inoue, who is best known for starring in a number of musicals in Japan, such as Mozart!, Marie Antoinette, and Miss Saigon. Onobori Monogatari will be his third film role and his first film lead role. Mika Hijii (Kamen Rider Blade, Happy Flight), Show Aikawa (Kurosagi, The Quiz Show 2), and Norito Yashima (Rurouni Kenshin, Boys Over Flowers) also star in the film. Yasutaka Mōri is directing the film, which will open in Japan on July 17.
