Toki wo kakeru shoujo new movie’s manga
A new live action Toki wo kakeru shoujo movie will be going on cinemas in 2010, but a manga adaptation of the movie has already started on Young Ace magazine, and Japanese site Muhyojo has a short introduction on the story in the manga.
The story is about Yoshiyama Akari, who is the daughter of Yoshiyama Kazuko (the main heroine from the original Tokikake). Kazuko has been working on a type of medicine that can allow the user to do a time leap, and the project had just successfully completed.
Kazuko then chances upon an old photo which managed to restore her memories and starts running to get the time leap medicine but gets into a car accident. She wakes up at the hospital and tries to get out again, but Akari stops her, and Kazuko explains that all her research was to meet that man in the photo again.
Akari decides she will go back in time in place of her mother to send her mother’s message to that man.
Also Yoshiyama Kazuko was in her late thirties and single in the 2006 anime, so I guess all this isn’t taking place in the same universe.
I had completely forgotten about the upcoming movie already after posting about it way back in March.

Well kinda sad that they skipped the anime movie, which for me was a good continuation of the original novel/movie. Now we will have 2 sides fighting on which is canon and which is not.

But that’d be slightly awesome.
Already, people are debating if Archie Sonic is more awesome than official Sega Sonikku. Of course, the latter wins, but the debate is still fun nonetheless.
Same here. Seems to be that people love this story so much, they want to rewrite a sequel with a daughter instead of a niece.
Let the epic battle begin !

I sense a bit of Spinoff Adaption Decay.

I loved the anime movie and I think this will be awesome too.
While a live-action movie doesn’t sound too bad, I would really prefer the animated movie over live-action since the animated one does suit the title a lot more than a live-action one…

Not really. Most of the early adaptation of the series was live actions
