 An official website opened on Thursday revealing that Anashin's shoujo manga Harumatsu Bokura (Waiting For Spring) will receive a live-action film adaptation this Winter. The film will be directed by Yuuichirou Hirakawa (A LIFE) and Satoko Okazaki (Forget Me Not) will handle the script. Warner Bros. Japan will distribute the film. Synopsis Mizuki is a shy girl who's about to enter high school and vows to open herself up to new friendships. Of course, the four stars of the boys' basketball team weren't exactly the friends she had in mind! Yet, when they drop by the café where she works, the five quickly hit it off. Soon she's been accidentally thrust into the spotlight, targeted by jealous girls. And will she expand her mission to include ... love?

| Good for the fans to see Live Action. Stopped following this manga after it became just like another ordinary shoujo manga. It was so good in the beginning though. There was a time when I really wanted to see this animated but not anymore. Not after that stupid Cannot rule out an anime however because it's Dessert's bestseller even though it's not half as good as Mairimashita, Senpai or Living no Matsunaga-san. And I don't want to mention Boku to Kimi no Taisetsu na Hanashi. Probably THE best shoujo manga right now on Dessert, Betsu Margaret and Betsu Friend the trio combined. |

| @sevenPocky: What are the criterion for posting these kind of news? I am interested because the Live Action adaptation for Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun wasn't posted in MAL news. I think it was Dessert's biggest announcement last year since the manga was a super hit and also had an anime adaptation. phoenixalia said: shanimebib said: Good for the fans to see Live Action.

You pretty much just said what I was going to say. I used to read this in the beginning but now it's just love triangle stuff that I feel should have been taken care of ages ago. Just yesterday I was talking to another friend about another shoujo manga that's been getting stale because of something like this too. I would love for Mairimashita, Senpai, BokuKimi or Matsunaga-san to get an anime. Have you read Sakura to Sensei or Kimi to Wonderland? I highly recommend them. I read both of them but placed them on hold as you can see in the chapter discussion threads in MAL. Sakura to Sensei is one of those really sweet stories. I was thinking Wonderland would be a really sad manga because of you-know-what but it's actually a very fun manga and very unique as well. Not because of you-know-what but because of the MC. :) I have enough complains about Bestu Margaret and Bestu Friend current serializations as well when I see P to JK and Omofuri selling 100s of thousands of copies when many other better manga hardly reaching 15~20K. :| Yaoi-Senpai said: What happened? This shoujo look good, I don’t want to waste my times if it’s going to turn a copy paste shoujo manga Well, you'll probably will like it because As for what happens, The manga is full of bishies. I don't think there's another manga with better looking boys than this one. In a poll conducted last year, Asakura Towa was ranked 2nd most good-looking MC amongst fans in Japan after Matsunga-san from various ongoing shoujo manga from different magazines. Urgh. Now I probably will go and try to find the link for the poll. |

Not after that stupid I am collecting the physical copies of the manga as I'm not reading it online and I really love it so far. Reading this is just really discouraging :| |

You may love it so don't let my experience discourage you! There are so many stuff out there that I trash talk about but are loved by others! And it goes both ways. The manga is not bad. I just simply got tired of how the story kept on being dragged on and on and on. It became a bit frustrating for me even though I really looked forward to this manga every month until just a couple of months back. It's not a lost cause and I might read it again in the near future when a few more chapters are out. Right now, I just don't feel like reading it. Just because I didn't enjoy how it was handled doesn't mean it will be the same for you. Since you read shoujo manga you should know that it's not very uncommon to have the story dragged on. As a matter of fact, it's not very uncommon for manga targeted for other demography. :) @phoenixalia: it was the same reason why I stopped following TcLP even though I loved HnR. @sevenPocky: I see. So, I guess I will PM or submit once I find something similar because I follow some magazines. |

Around which chapter did it start getting frustrating for you to read? Honestly, the love triangle doesn't really bother me lol |

Honestly, the love triangle doesn't really bother me lol If love triangles don't bother you then it's actually all good. :) I am okay with love triangles as well. But not the unnecessarily dragged out ones and when they pull off a random incident to fuel more drama. It starts to get a bit frustrating around early 30ish chapters. And I finally had it at chapter 39. It's one thing to binge read a manga and it's another to read a chapter a month with little to no progression. So, I placed it on hold for an indefinite time period. |

I'm not following it monthly so I guess that's why the pacing doesn't bother me. |
