Ryō Narita plays the character Inagaki. The character is Shioriko's colleague who runs a retail website specializing in manga. Inagaki, Shioriko, and Daisuke together form the love triangle central to the story.

Yukiko Mishima (Shiawase no Pan, Tsukuroi Tatsu Hito) is directing the film.

The novel series is also inspiring an anime film.

The series was previously adapted into a live-action television series in 2013. Crunchyroll began streaming the series in 2014, and describes the story:

Shinokawa Shioriko is the proprietor of Biblia Antiquarian Bookshop, her sidekick Goura Daisuke, her lanky gofer and protector, has trouble reading books; they make him dizzy. Shioriko is demure and introverted, an expert on vintage books, a great storyteller, and of course, a lover of books; she also has amazing powers of logical deduction, and can solve big mysteries from the smallest of clues. The unlikely pair join forces to unravel secrets and hidden meanings to help people looking for answers, and the true answers are never what they expect.

Mikami launched the series in 2011 with the novel "Shioriko-san to Kimyō na Kyakujin-tachi" (Shioriko and the Strange Guests), with art by Hagu Koshijima. The novels have more than 6.8 million copies in print, and were nominated for the Japan Mystery Writers Association Award's Long Story category in 2012 and 2014. The seventh and final novel (seen above right) shipped on February 25.

The novel series has two different manga adaptations. The first, by Nakano, debuted in Kadokawa's Altima Ace magazine, then moved to the Asuka magazine in 2013. The series ended in 2014 with six volumes. The second manga, by Ryō Kōda, launched in Kodansha's Good! Afternoon magazine in 2012. The manga's third volume shipped in 2014.

The Promised Neverland Manga Enters Final Arc

Manga creators Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu revealed in the comments section of this year's 41st issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on Monday that their The Promised Neverland manga has entered its final arc.

The supervising editor for the manga said in an interview with Mainichi Shimbun's Mantan Web news website in February that the manga had reached its "turnaround point." The term "turnaround point" (折り返し地点) refers to a halfway point (as in a race, where the runner turns around on a track), although the editor did not clarify whether the manga is half done in terms of length or if it has simply reached the second of two major parts to the story.

Viz Media is serializing the manga in its digital English edition of Shonen Jump, and is also publishing the volumes in print. Viz Media describes the story:

Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.

Shirai and Demizu launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in August 2016, and Shueisha shipped the manga's 10th compiled volume on August 3. The manga has more than 5 million copies in print worldwide as of May 28.

The manga won the Best Shōnen Manga award at the 63rd Shogakukan Manga Awards in January, was nominated for the 11th Manga Taisho awards in January, and was nominated for the 22nd Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in February. The series also topped the 2018 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook's list of manga for male readers in December.

The manga is inspiring a television anime adaptation that will premiere in January 2019. The anime will have an advanced screening at this year's Jump Special Anime Festa event on November 25 in Tokyo and on December 2 in Sapporo, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka.

The manga has also inspired a spinoff novel about Norman that shipped in June.
