Defying Kurosaki-kun Manga Gets New Live-Action Series
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Kodansha announced on Friday that Makino's Defying Kurosaki-kun (Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai) manga is inspiring a new live-action series adaptation that will debut on Fuji TV On Demand. The announcement did not mention any further details about the series.
Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga digitally in English, and it describes the story:
"I demand absolute obedience from you." Yu Akabane has worked hard to reinvent herself for high school, and there's only one step left in her plan to leave her plain Jane days behind: asking out her idol, the "White Prince" Shirakawa-kun. When circumstances lead to Yu moving into the school dorm where Shirakawa-kun boards, she thinks she's found her lucky break. But unluckily for Yu, “Black Devil” Kurosaki-kun, the boy everyone at school (including the teachers!) is afraid of, lives there too—and when Yu defies him, he's all too eager to punish her…
Makino launched the manga in Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend magazine in 2014, and ended it in October 2021. Kodansha published 19 compiled book volumes for the manga. Kodansha USA Publishing released all 19 volumes in English digitally. The manga was nominated for Best Shōjo Manga at Kodansha's 45th annual Manga Awards.
The manga inspired a live-action film in January 2016, as well as an accompanying two-episode live-action drama in December 2015.
Makino launched the Kurosaki-kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai S sequel manga in Kodansha's palcy app in May 2023, and ended it with the second volume in December 2024.
