Special video from dark suspense story marks Tezuka Osamu’s 80th birthday
To mark the 80th anniversary of the birth of manga pioneer Tezuka Osamu, the official Japanese website for the live-action adaptation of Tezuka’s MW manga began streaming a new special video on Tuesday. The Oricon market survey firm also posted the same video at a different resolution.
In this dark suspense story, Yūki Michio (live-action Nodame Cantabile’s Tamaki Hiroshi) survived a deadly nerve gas tragedy as a child, but this “MW” incident left his damaged brain without a conscience. Yūki grows up to become a handsome bank executive by day, and a mass murderer by night. On top of that, Yūki aims to acquire the MW nerve gas, which leaves his longtime confidante Garai (Densha Otoko film’s Yamada Takayuki) struggling with the right decision.
Director Iwamoto Hitoshi is adapting the MW manga for release in Japan next year. Vertical is publishing the manga in North America.
