Afro Tanaka Live-Action Movie Announced

A live-action film adaptation of Noritsuke Masaharu’s gag manga “Afro Tanaka” is reportedly now nearly done filming. The odd slice-of-life comedy about a young man with a large afro premiered in 2002. A short anime based on the franchise’s current fourth series, “Sasurai Afro Tanaka,” premiered last May. The live-action film is scheduled for a 2012 release.
