‘Naoko’ turns to theaters
Dan Doh!! creator Nobuhiro Sakata’s manga Naoko is going to be made into a live-action movie, according to TokyoGraph, with the title character played by Juri Ueno - who some may remember as Nodame in the Nodame Cantabile TV drama.
The story is about a talented track star named Yusuke who randomly bumps into the girl who his father died to save, the titular Naoko. She turns out to be the new track and field manager, and I have no doubt that drama ensues.
