It will be based on the classic novel by Takiji Kobayashi called “Kani Kōsen”. As per reports, this is going to be a modern remake of the 1929 classic. How well the two authors pull it off is going to be interesting. Of course, there has been no news about international publications. Translated works will probably be available after its local release. Hakusensha has previously released some brilliant manga series which also includes Kentaro Miura’s Berserk.

Kani Kōsen
The book contains a wide concept that deals with different socio-political issues. Its characters range from fishermen, farmers, and other oppressed groups of people to a superintendent. It throws light on people who spend their earnings on drinking and prostitution. The overall theme of the book shows its readers the degraded side of Japan that is pessimistic and drenched with the unfairness in the world of the poor. One major character is Asakawa, a monster of sorts. With supernatural elements, Kani Kōsen tells a tale of realism. Kani Kōsen was said to have incorrect political views due to the Marxist point of view of the author. After being banned, the book was thoroughly edited to remove such views and sold. However, later in 1948, Kani Kōsen reprinted its original version. Debates about the book continued. In 1953, the book was adapted for a movie that won the award for Best Cinematography in 1954. Again, in 2006, the book was adapted into a manga. Shigemitsu Harada and Shinjirō wish to steer the story into modernization. Their vision piques interest and we wait in anticipation for the outcome of this project. Also Read: Preview: Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun Season 2 Episode 8
