Live-Action “Happy End” Announces 4 New Cast Members for Anime-Based Series
Get ready for the ultimate drama! The live-action series of Ogeretsu Tanaka‘s Happy of the End boys-love manga just got even more exciting with the announcement of four new cast members!
The talented new additions to the cast are:
Rei Sawamura stars as Keito, while Yurai Beppu plays Chihiro Kashiwagi. Shū Watanabe takes on the role of Chihiro’s older brother.
The series is directed by Tomoyuki Furumaya, who is also penning the scripts with assistance from Miako Tadano. Kōji Endō is composing the music.
KUMA releases the manga in English, and here’s a brief summary:
Dazed and confused, Chihiro awakes on a pile of garbage with memories of a wedding still fresh in his mind. When a young man named Keito appears before him, he recalls the night they spent together. The booze! The hotel! The punch to his face!
Chihiro may not have a place to call home currently, and Keito may not be a good person by any means, but maybe the two of them could be happy together.
Tanaka launched the manga in Takeshobo’s Qpa magazine in January 2020, and ended the manga with its third compiled book volume in October 2023.
SuBLime previously released Tanaka’s Yarichin Bitch-bu and Escape Journey manga in English. Yarichin Bitch-bu inspired an OVA adaptation in 2018.
