The film is being produced by animation studio Bones for a 2020 premiere.Synopsis A youth romantic drama with themes of growing up, the story focuses on college student Tsuneo and dreamer Josee, who lives her life stuck in a wheelchair. Josee—named after the heroine in Françoise Sagan's Wonderful Clouds—spends most of her days reading and painting until by chance she encounters Tsuneo, and decides it's time to face the real world. Staff Director: Koutarou Tamura (Noragami, Negima!? episode director) Original Character Design: Nao Emoto (Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo.) Character Design, Chief Animation Director: Haruko Iizuka (Inu x Boku SS, Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge) Concept Design: loundraw (Tsuki ga Kirei, Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai original character design) Music: Evan Call (Violet Evergarden, Hakumei to Mikochi) Distribution: Shochiku, Kadokawa Screenwriter Sayaka Kuwamura (Strobe Edge, Over Drive live-action film) is writing the script for the anime film. Nao Emoto will also launch a manga adaptation in Da Vinci magazine's February issue on January 6, 2020. Tanabe published the Josee to Tora to Sakana-tachi short story in Monthly Kadokawa's June 1984 issue. Kadokawa Shoten shipped the story as a novel in April 1985 and re-released it under the Kadokawa Bunko imprint in July 1987.
