Tetsuhiro Hirakawa's story of 3 childhood friends in high school inspires Spring show
A live-action television series adaptation of Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine is announcing the television project on Thursday.
The story follows three boys — Hayato, Tomoki, and Kenji — who were close friends in elementary school. Hayato transfered to another school, and the three drifted apart. Five years later, however, Hayato returns, and the three reunite by chance.
Hirakawa launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Champion in 2007, and Akita Shoten is publishing the 25th compiled book next month. Hirakawa's manga is unrelated to two similarly named Clover Toriko Chiya.
