2013’s combined 4th/5th issue of Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine announced on Thursday that a live-action film adaptation of Masaaki Nakayama’s Fuan no Tane (Seeds of Anxiety) horror manga shorts has been green-lit. The film will open next year.
Nakayama launched the omnibus manga series in Akita Shoten’s Champion RED magazine, but the series moved to Weekly Shōnen Champion under the new name Fuan no Tane Plus. The stories usually depict a protagonist whose carefree life is disturbed by an encounter with a mysterious, strange entity.
