The new issue of Cheese magazine!(Shogakukan Publishing) announces the upcoming live-action film adaptation of the hit manga The Thread of Destiny. If the casting or the release date is still unclear, new information could filter out in the coming weeks… Whatever happens, this adaptation should be worth seeing. Here's Why.
A teenager like no other
The Thread of Destiny is a manga by Kaho MIYASAKA published by Panini manga in France. This shōjo is to date, declined in five volumes, the first of which was released in 2015. This is a work that deals with the theme of illness with delicacy and sensitivity. Through an apparent romance between two high school students, the mangaka elegantly tackles this serious subject; This subject is often a source of discomfort in our society. The heroine, Rino Sakuragi suffers from Charcot's disease. This pathology affects about one in 100,000 people in our society. It is manifested by muscle weakness, then progressive paralysis of the affected person. The story that depicts the joys, fears and doubts of the heroine is an emotional whirlwind for the reader. The reader lights up with a deep laugh for a minute. He breaks down in tears the next moment.
A romance like no other
The two main protagonists, already present in the manga The Red Thread, are really endearing. They are distinguished both by their "refined and atypical chara-design", and by their personality traits. Their love story, bordering on dramatic, also arouses the reader's empathy. It strikes a chord with the latter. He is moved by this relationship, which in many ways is not really ordinary.
From a visual point of view, this future live film promises to be grandiose. Kaho Miyasaka's particular graphic style could prove beautiful on the big screen. Especially with a soundtrack to match.
Whatever happens, this is a project whose evolution will have to be closely scrutinized.
