Minamisawa, Mizobata to star in "Akai Ito" adaptations
Tue, June 24, 2008 (12:52am EDT)
In April, it was announced that hit mobile phone novel "Akai Ito" is getting a combined drama and film adaptation later this year. Fuji TV has now revealed that the lead characters will be played by teen stars Nao Minamisawa and Junpei Mizobata.
The story was one of the best-selling novels of 2007, similar to the success of "Koizora." "Akai Ito" revolves around the "red thread of fate" connecting the young pair Mei (Minamisawa) and Atsushi (Mizobata) and the trials they face.
"Akai Ito" will have the same cast and staff working on both the big screen and small screen versions, and the two will be closely connected. The drama series will start in December, with the first two episodes laying the foundation of the story. Then the movie will pick up the plot when it opens on December 20, incorporating the novel's main storyline and adding original elements. After that, the drama will continue to develop and finish off the story.
The project's website indicates that the supporting cast includes Ryo Kimura, model and actress Rei Okamoto, Anna Ishibashi, Nanami Sakuraba, and Tomo Yanagishita.

I watched the 1st ep and found it extremely sweet!
And for those of you who want to know what happened here is the story in a nutshell:
Hidden:
The 2 mains have met each other in the past on their birthday, February the 29th. Mei gave Atsushi the chocolate sign on her cake as a present. Present day, Mei has a crush on her childhood friend Yuya. Her friends pester her to confess to him cause they think he likes her as well. Atsushi is being taken care of by a temple priest (not his real father) and is in the same class as Mei.
While cleaning Haruna's (Mei's older sister) room with Yuya, Mei finds a picture of her as a baby together with a baby boy. Everyone assumes it's Yuya and Mei thinks it's really her destiny to be with him. However her mother doesn't confirm it's Yuya in the picture (my guess is it's Atsushi).
Mei receives a mail from Yuya to meet alone. She thinks he is going to confess. Atsushi overhears her happy monologue. When she meets him though he brings his friends over. Turns out one of them wanted to become "Mei's friend". Mei is dissappointed but agrees to exchange adresses. On their way home Yuya and Mei spot Haruna together with another boy and Yuya is clearly jealous. Later when Mei asks Haruna she tells her it was a senpai whom she knew since middle school. Mei lies to Yuya and tell him he was Haruna's boyfriend. She regrets it later.
Yuya calls her over to the temple and tells her he is in love with Haruna. Mei is brokenhearted. Atsushi accidentally steps in but manages to make Mei smile while they fix the broken bell.
Back in the past, when Mei & Atsushi parted ways, Atsushi has a seizure. He is transported to the hospital where the doctor finds stimulants in his blood.

Well there are a lot of similarities (that's why anyone can't help but compare them) and I don't know how it's going to end but from ep 1 I found it more interesting than Koizora. I think it's going to be darker. And it's a big plus the series & the movie go hand in hand incorporating different parts of the storyline with the same cast. In Koizora it was a movie & a drama with the same plot and different cast.

Wasn't Koizora written by a different writer?
There may be similarities in plot but I don't think it's going to be the same thing. I was planning on starting this thread, good thing you beat me to it. I'm really excited about this show.
I was hoping this would be a bit more light hearted since I'm currently suffering through the drama of Innocent Love that is full of romantic angst even if they aren't in school...it sure plays on screen like a soap to an extent.
However, this is definitely a show I've been eyeing and I can't wait for. I just reserve the hope that there will be some light hearted stuff like a live action Toradora!.

is it only me who doesn't find it similar to koizora at all...i mean apart from the fact that its a love story about two students....
i saw the first episode and liked the general atmosphere. i'm glad that they are not making
mei into a total goody-goody because that can get old after awhile.
I'm looking forward to next week...i only wish the episodes weren't so short.
how i hope it doesn"t end

they fall in love only to find out that they are twins....

It is normal to be compared with Koizora because both are mobile phone novel and based on love story but expect that i dont think it is same as Koizora as i watched i think the plot is more detailed in ths one ...
Anyway as i said i hope a group tend to sub this (maybe thay are waiting for movie) so we will be all happy <3
