One of the managing staff members behind a major Jump magazine has let readers in on how to get their favorite manga turned into live-action franchises like One Piece.On Dec. 28, 2023, Shonen Jump+ Deputy Editor-in-Chief Yuta Momiyama shared the discussion he had with a senior member in charge of overseas film adaptations via X (formerly Twitter). He revealed that there’s been a sharp uptick in the number of pitches from foreign studios to adapt Shonen Jump works, as well as that the number-one way these series are being discovered is through MANGA Plus. “In recent years, there has been a huge increase in talk of negotiations with foreign countries to make films like One Piece, but when asked how they found out about the work, many locals say they were looking for it on MANGA Plus,” Momiyama said. “It seems that some works come up as a topic of discussion during negotiations to make them into films even before they are made into anime or even before the volume is published in Japan.”Momiyama’s words appear to be backed by the growing number of manga on MANGA Plus that have received or soon will receive the live-action treatment. Netflix’s critically acclaimed One Piece, the upcoming My Hero Academia live-action and Lionsgate’s Naruto film can all be read on the platform. However, given that these productions were all greenlit before MANGA Plus’ formal release in Jan. 2019, fans might take Momiyama’s words as a teaser for more live-action adaptations to be announced next year and beyond.
