YUI NINJA!!!

Is it just me or do anyone else think this is a great manga!! The art is a little......at the beginning, but it's got a great plot. (i Read it 'cause YUI mentioned it a long time ago somewhere....but that's beside the point).

Hmm.. I haven't read it, but the title reminds me of an X-Japan song by the same name...

I love this manga !!! I really love Naoki Urasawa's work..
I'm quite surprised when i heard that YUI also like this manga.. cool ! :good

BTW..
The manga has ended a few months ago.. and now they decided to make a Live Action version of this manga..
A Trilogy..

Quote:
 
A cast announcement for the live-action version of "20th Century Boys" was made on Sunday. Toshiaki Karasawa will star as the main character Kenji Endo, while Etsushi Toyokawa plays Otcho and Takako Tokiwa plays Yukiji.

Directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi, the film adaptation is based on Naoki Urasawa's popular manga of the same name, a sci-fi suspense story that has Kenji and his friends trying to save the world from destruction. Urasawa himself is involved in the screenplay.

The manga i s actually being adapted as a trilogy of films, with the first one being released on August 30. Part 2 is scheduled for the spring of 2009, and Part 3 will follow in the fall. The total budget for the project is a massive 6 billion yen, possibly making it the biggest domestic production of this year.

Filming for the first two movies started on Sunday and is expected to wrap up in late June. Part 3 is scheduled to be shot from mid-August to late October. Filming is taking place in a total of at least 7 countries, as the movies will include scenes of various parts of the world collapsing.

It was also announced that the theme song for the first movie will be the 1973 hit "20th Century Boy" by the English rock band T. Rex. That song provided the inspiration for Urasawa's original manga.

The international popularity of the manga has reportedly led to distribution offers in 34 countries so far.

I've read a few chapters of this before, A friend recommended this to me. But then I stopped reading, cause I was reading from this site, and it was a bit difficult to read from the site......

But I'm planning on reading it again, cause i've found out that I could get it from the library!!

Yeah I remember that YUI reads it too. ^_^
