posted on by Karen Ressler
Naonari Kojima's Otonari Voice Chat (Neighbor Voice Chat) manga will get a live-action drama adaptation within the E-Tele Judge program on NHK-E on November 10.
In the E-Tele Judge program, viewer representative judges choose between four works each month. The selected work will get an adaptation that will air on television, and will later be available on the program's website. The winning programs consist of five five-minute episodes.
The Otonari Voice Chat romantic comedy follows Osamu Tachikara, who can't make friends at his college, but talks to his female next-door neighbor Hinako Ōgami through the wall. He doesn't know what she looks like.
Tatsuomi Hamada (live-action Gatchaman) and Wakana Aoi (Kamen Rider Kuuga, GJ Club) are starring as Tachikara and Ōgami, respectively. Yū Amano is directing off scripts by Ryō Takekoshi.
The manga began last July in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Ryū magazine. Tokuma Shoten shipped the first compiled volume in May.
