Wow! Really? Kou Yoneda is one of my favorite mangaka and No Touching At All is in my top ten favorite titles from June (despite its crap translation) so this makes me happy!

;< This is why I want Funimation or CrunchyRoll to stream these kinds of shows when it goes live in Japan. I can't wait.

Damn, I'd want to see this turn into an anime too. I just don't like it when TV shows zone out of the "intimate" parts like the holding hands and kissing in non-hetero relationships (basic vanilla stuff in the U.S.) but I suppose that's the culture to begin with in Japan.

This is a film. Not a show.

Surprised !!!!!
I love the manga, but I wished they did an anime instead.

I got nothing against BL live actions, I've seen a few Japanese BL films that are based off manga series, but I guess the Takumi-kun series left a bad taste in them overall :s That movie series was just an epitome of awkward acting with decent actors whom I adore in other series imo /hahaha/

Doushitemo Furetakunai is a hidden gem in all the BL manga's I've read. I'll watch the movie if I can, but since picky-ol'-me is a tightarse fuss pot with decent > good > brilliant BL titles, I'd either feel neutral or disappointed by it if they cannot grasp the mature bitter-sweet feeling the manga gave off.

Is it just me, or does the guy on the left bear a frightening resemblance to Takazu Abe?

I'm not normally a fan of LA adaptions but this one could be worth seeing.

Really love Kou Yoneda's work, especially NTAA (always love you for bringing it over, DMP).

Yeah, I missed that. I was more focused on the LA image. ;D
