Live-action movie of “Paradise Kiss” to get spin-off mobile drama

Before the live-action “Paradise Kiss” movie is released on June 4, a spin-off drama titled “Paradise Kiss: After School” will be made available through the mobile content service “LISMO Drama!” The 4-episode series will be released on Fridays starting on May 6, gearing up for the movie’s premiere.

Based on Yazawa Ai(矢沢あい)’s popular fashion-themed manga “Paradise Kiss,” the movie stars Kitagawa Keiko as a high school girl who gets scouted to be a model by a group of fashion design students. The “After School” spin-off will be a comical look at the daily lives of the four characters George (Mukai Osamu(向井理)), Isabella (Igarashi Shunji(五十嵐隼士)), Miwako (Omasa Aya(大政絢)), and Arashi (Kaku Kento(賀来賢人)). The story will mainly take place in George’s luxurious apartment.

The “Paradise Kiss” movie already finished filming last year, but the spin-off’s cast reunited after four months to reprise their characters.

The drama is being written and directed by Fukuda Yuichi(福田雄一 ), who also handled the live-action adaptation of Ishihara Makochin’s manga “The 3-Mei-sama.”
