Questions re Manga-based Japanese Live Action Films

[Michael E Kerpan]

Several manga by Mitsuru Adachi  have been (or are presently being) made into 
films.

Miyuki (1983) (sounds rather like a shoujo manga -- about step sibling (a boy 
and a girl)

Tatchi / Touch (2005)  -- based on an 80s manga -- about to twin brothers who 
both love baseball and the girl next door (who they have grown up alongside). 
INUDO's film is really quite sweet and enjoyable.

Currently Kentaro Otani (Nana) is making a film of Adachi's "Rough" (which 
seems to blend bakeries and swimming/diving with Romeo and Juliet). I await 
this eagerly.
