Earlier today, Kodansha revealed that Zuino and artist Kei Keiyama’s Zeikin de Katta Hon (Books bought with tax) manga is inspiring an anime and live-action series. The live-action will be released this summer and air on NHK General on Mondays through Thursdays.
The live-action series stars Daiken Okudaira. Hiroyuki Muramatsu and Tomoki Sakanashi are directing the series. Riko Sakaguchi is writing the script for the live-action series. Kei Yoshikawa is composing the music.
The Zeikin de Katta Hon manga first released in Kodansha’s YanMaga Web service in August 2021 and began serialization in Young Magazine that December. Kodansha published the manga’s 18th compiled book volume on February 6.
Lastly here’s an overview of the series via MyAnimeList:
Ishidaira is a delinquent who visited the library for the first time since elementary school. He discovered that he still hadn’t returned a book he borrowed 10 years ago. He ended up having to work part-time at the library to pay for it. This is the beginning of a manga that makes you want to go to the library after you read it.
