■This is how the project for the live-action movie “Angel Sign” was born
The project was launched by our representative Nobuhiko Horie, who worked with Tsukasa Hojo on ``Cats' Eye'' and ``City Hunter'' during their time at ``Weekly Shonen Jump''. We look for manga talent from all over the world and host silent manga auditions to help train the next generation. This time, sympathizing with Horie's thoughts, Tsukasa Hojo will serve as general director.
"City Hunter the Movie " currently in theaters has exceeded 1.3 billion yen in box office revenue and is approaching 1 million viewers! Please pay attention to the new “story of love” drawn by Tsukasa Hojo!
[Comment from Tsukasa Hojo]
``Different from drawing manga, making a film is very refreshing.
I would like to brace myself and approach this with a sense of restraint. ”
