Abashiri Family Live Action Movie Announced

A press conference was held in Tokyo yesterday to announce Abashiri Ikka The Movie, a live action film adaptation of Go Nagai’s Abashiri Family (Abashiri Ikka) action/comedy manga. Teruyoshi Ishii (Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna) directs star Erika Tonooka (of the girl pop group Idoling!!!) in her role as Kikunosuke, the heir of a mafia family who tries to live a “normal” schoolgirl life in a high school filled with thugs and killers. The film will hit Japanese theaters on November 21.

Go Nagai’s 1969 manga series was adapted into a 4 episode anime OVA series in 1992.
