The series will premiere on TV Tokyo on April 9, on BS TV Tokyo on April 15, and will stream exclusively on Disney+.
The series will star:
Paul Young (Pocket ni Bōken wo Tsumekonde, Star Wars: Visions Volume 2, Ryо̄san-gata Riko) is directing alongside Noboru Iguchi (live-action Flowers of Evil film, Tomie: Unlimited). Keita Meguro (Red Blue, Neko Kare: Shonen wo Kau) and Shuho Takase (Red Blue) are writing the scripts. TV Tokyo and C & I Entertainment are producing.
Vertical published the manga in North America, and it describes the story:
Bookworm Takao falls in love with Nanako, but he cannot express his feelings through words. Instead he secretively acts out in a heat of passion which creates a huge scandal in his school. There is one person who knows his true nature, and this girl will do anything to nurture what this Charles Baudelaire hides.
The manga previously inspired a 2013 television anime series, and a live-action film that opened in September 2019. Oshimi’s Inside Mari manga spawned a live-action series in March 2017, and his Drifting Net Café manga also inspired a live-action series in 2009. His Sweet Poolside manga received a live-action film in 2014.
