Hi, everyone! It’s Hana from Manga Republic!

This is sudden, but do you have any hobbies other than reading manga?

I love manga and anime, but I also like to watch movies. On my days off, I watch movies on Netflix or go to the movie theater!

I often watch Japanese films as well as foreign films! I was also a member of a film club when I was in school!

In this issue, we introduce a new manga about filmmaking!

Let's check out what the story is about right away!
Tenmaku Cinema
Shinichi Hajime, a middle school junior who has loved watching movies since his childhood when he was physically weak, has been bothered by an inexplicable phenomenon ever since he went to see a certain movie.
Shinichi Hajime
It is ......
Having mysterious cramps when holding a writing instrument.

“Let me use your arms! Ude (means arms in Japanese.)----
Also, it was about hearing someone speaking to you.
“I hear if you don't push back on these things, they'll take advantage of you......”
Hajime kept ignoring the auditory hallucination, but finally responded to the voice.
“You're a whiny little kid! If you're a ghost, talk like one!”
Oh, no,Hajime panics!
Hajime is flustered, but the owner of the voice appears clearly in front of him.

Tenmaku Takihiko
He introduced himself as Tenmaku Takihiko.
Takihiko begins to explain his life to Hajime.
Takihiko begins to explain his life to Hajime.
Takihiko had been working with a film director on a movie script until just before his death.
After several months of discussions with the director, the structure was finally finalized, and he was just about to hand in the final draft when he died.
After several months of discussions with the director, the structure was finally finalized, and he was just about to hand in the final draft when he died.
And for Takihiko to rest in peace in heaven, he needs to have his script filmed as a movie by its director.
Takihiko asks Hajime to write a script for him that Takihiko will recite and deliver to its director.
Hajime didn't want to, but Takihiko would not leave him unless he did what he asked. It was a rare opportunity to talk to a professional screenwriter, but he did not want to remain possessed! With this in mind, Hajime reluctantly accepted the request.
Hajime asked, “Who is it that I have to deliver the scripts to?”
Takihiko answered.“It’s Shirakawa Ryu.”
Hajime was astonished by Takihiko's answer.
Ryu Shirakawa was the most respected film director in the world, and had died 20 years earlier.

Takihiko is depressed to learn that 30 years have passed since his death and that the best movie script he has in his head cannot be made into a movie by Shirakawa Ryu.
But there was no point in being depressed, no matter how much he was depressed. Takihiko could never be satisfied through films again, for he would never be able to rest in peace.

Hajime wonders how he can let Takihiko rest in peace.
Hajime wonders, “How can a filmmaker be satisfied......? ”

Hajime had never wanted to make a movie or write a screenplay, although he loved to watch movies, but only worshipped their splendor.
As he wondered how he could understand “people who make movies,” he thought of a girl

Kurai Hinaki (Kurakui Himeki)
Her name is Kurai Hinaki.
She is a student at the same school as Hajime and is an actress under the stage name Kurakui Himeki.

She is a successful actress, and she might know something that could help us......!
Hajime tried to talk to her, but she was too busy being popular to approach him.

Hajime is having a hard time finding a clue that will bring Takihiko back to rest in peace.
Takihiko, on the other hand, was addicted to watching movies on the tablet Hajime had lent him.

Takihiko can no longer stand the fact that he cannot watch the movie unless Hajime presses the play button and cannot watch the movie while he is at school, so he finally follows Hajime to school as well.
“As soon as school's out, we're going home to watch streaming service!”
“As soon as school's out, we're going home to watch streaming service!”
Hajime wants to quickly put Takihiko to rest, and the two run into Hinaki at the school gate.
Takihiko was struck by Hinaki's dignified appearance. Suddenly, a scene from the movie instantly started playing in his mind.

Takihiko has manipulated Hajime's body to complete the script for the movie he wants to star Hinaki in!
Taking over Hajime's body, Takihiko offered the script to Hinaki.

“Shinichi Hajime will film you.”
Takihiko made Hajime say so, and Hajime soon lost consciousness and was taken to the infirmary.
When Hajime woke up, Hinaki appeared at his side and said to him,
When Hajime woke up, Hinaki appeared at his side and said to him,
“What is this script......!”
“I'll get it. Please use me as the lead. Director!”
Hajime was just a young boy who was a movie nerd. He insisted that he had no intention of becoming a filmmaker. However, this changes when he is inspired by Takihiko, the ghost of a mysterious screenwriter who haunts Hajime, and when he exchanges words with Hinaki.

Can Hajime let Takihiko rest in peace? And what was the masterpiece that Takihiko wrote for Shirakawa Ryu? There are many things to be curious about!

As was the case in “Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma,” the love story between the hero and heroine is one of the highlights of Saeki Shun Sensei and Tsukuda Yuuto Sensei's works! Hajime and Hinaki's fate is also a focus of attention!

Tenmaku Cinema comics will be released in July! If you can't wait until then, check out the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine!
