Goro Miyazaki could lead to Studio Ghibli’s manga adaptation of the ’80s ‘Kokuriko Zaka Kara’, created by Chizuru Takahashi and Tetsuro Sayama.

This soho manga, set in 1963 – 38 years of the Showa period, before the Tokyo Olympics, relates the everyday Komatsuzaki, a young student member of the school newspaper and student council president, who was orphaned after losing his father in an accident at sea and his mother, a war correspondent, by a stray bullet.

After the disappointment to the father of Goro Miyazaki Hayao, the debut of his son with ‘Tales from Earthsea’, seems to get along again. It was said that, somehow, the veteran author was apologizing for the harshness with which he had brought his son with ‘Ponyo’. The relationship I have trouble seeing it, but if someone gives me a wonderful as ‘Ponyo’, forgive him almost anything.

Therefore, their cooperation is restored and now Hayao Miyazaki will participate in writing the script for ‘Kokurikozaka Kara’, along with Keiko Niwa, author of ‘Karigurashi Arrietty no’, a film based on the fantasy novel ‘The Borrowers’ (‘ The tiny ‘), by Mary Norton, representing the latest Ghibli and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. The music of ‘Kokurikozaka Kara’ Aoi Teshima handles.

Nothing, hopefully, with this news, a Spanish publisher is anime-pun intended-was not to publish this manga.
