Fall 2017 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
The MANGA.TOKYO staff had its share of summer. Now, all we wish is for the hot and humid weather to go away and give its place to the red and cool autumn.
The last couple of years, the otaku industry and the various adaptations that are based on its titles has seen a dramatic upward boom. Last to join the celebrations is the live action adaptation of Gintama, the famous anime and manga based on the work by Hideaki Sorachi. The action comedy parody has already sold over 1.3 million tickets and earned 1.78 billion yen in 11 days since its release on July 14. It’s officially one of the most successful Japanese films of 2017 so far.
