Film, drama adaptations of Sherlock Bones author's manga slated for 2017

An official website for the upcoming live-action adaptations of Yuki Satō's Tomodachi Game (Friends Games) manga opened on Friday and announced that Ryō Yoshizawa (live-action Ao Haru Ride, Gintama) will play the main character Yūichi Katagiri in both the drama and two films. All three adaptations are slated for 2017.

The story, based on Mikoto Yamaguchi's original concept, centers on Yūichi Katagiri, a young man with a perfect student life who has four friends with difficult lives. His peaceful daily life comes to an end when 2 million yen (about US$20,000) in school trip fees goes missing. Riddles unfold as Yūichi gets caught up in a mysterious game for money and must decide whether friendship or money matters more.

Sato (Sherlock Bones, Yokai Doctor) launched the Tomodachi Game manga in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in December 2013. The first compiled volume shipped in April 2014. The eighth compiled volume will ship on December 9.
