Tokyo Ghoul to Get a Live Action Film Adaptation
Good News first: We get to see Naoki and Kotoko soon.
Bad News: It's only a [super long] special instead of the actual second season.
Phew! They certainly took their sweet time in giving us a starting date for Itazura na Kiss 2. I know everyone was impatient, but we finally get what we want. However, we've only been given a slice of the cake, but not the whole thing yet. And while it’s a let-down that we don’t get the whole season in one go, it’s still better than nothing. We just have to take what we get for now.
It’s been officially announced that the special Itazura na Kiss 2 ～ Love in Okinawa will mark the first part of the second season. It will air on September 12th of this year. The DVD release will then come out on the 17th of the same month. The special is the connecting line between Itazura na Kiss-Love in Tokyo and Itazura na Kiss-Love in Tokyo 2. It will follow Naoki and Kotoko - played by Furukawa Yuki and Miki Honoka - as they embark on their honeymoon journey to Okinawa. They will meet another newlywed couple on the way, though some trouble begins as the other wife starts showing interest in Naoki.
The special will be THREE hours and 20 minutes long (you didn’t read that wrong!), it’s definitely going to be a long watch. Hopefully we won't get bored in the middle.
Actors Evan Yo, Su Li Wen, and Hwang in Deok - who starred as A.N.Jell in the Taiwanese version of You’re Beautiful – will make a cameo appearance in this special. Color me curious! I wonder what their roles will be in this special? Are they going to have an A.N.Jell concert in Okinawa, Japan?
Here’s the cute teaser:
And here are some stills from the special:
As for the second season’s airing date - it’s been reported that it will probably be pushed for the upcoming winter season (like seriously?). Some other reports have stated that it may get a late fall broadcast, but none of them have been confirmed yet. At least we get this long special to whet our appetites!
So what do you think? Is this good news or bad news? Is the drama special Itazura na Kiss 2: Love in Okinawa on your dramalist?
