Kimi to Boku Flash Anime Gets Live-Action Film in May

This just goes to prove that a good independent project can really make it big in the manga and animation industry,

Creator Shigeto Yamagara based his self-produced Flash anime on his own real-life experiences. Since he launched the anime online in 2001, it has garnered 4.8 million page views. The anime was translated into English under the name Everlasting Heart. Yamagara published a book version in 2009.

Kimi to Boku (You and I) is the story of an aspiring mangaka and his cat, told from the cat's perspective. It follows the friendship between the cat and the young man from when they first meet up to when they must part.

The live-action adaptation will have Beck's Aoi Nakamura as the mangaka, and Maaya Sakamoto as the voice of the cat, as well as the performer of the theme song.
