Yesterday, we just reported the news that the live-action version of the popular light novel "My Friends Are Few" will be filmed, and this news leaked from the recruitment notice of the extras at Ryukoku University, which is scheduled to be filmed. Subsequently, fans of "Friends and Youth" set off quite a heated discussion about this live-action shooting. And last night, the original author Hirasaka Yomi also expressed his opinion on the filming of the live-action movie. The following is a translation of the full review by Hirasaka Yomi:

Dear readers,

This time it wasn't with "Huh, what's going on?" "You can get through the situation in confusion, so although it is a bit long, please read it patiently.

It is very embarrassing to be the first to leak information from the notice of recruitment of extras (the key word "regret" in the work is not used here), but the production of a live-action film based on the clumsy book "I Have Few Friends" is indeed underway.

I first received the live-action film in June 2011, when the production of the first season of the TV anime was very smooth, and it was the most positive period of my life.

Personally, I feel that the content of "Friends and Youth" is not suitable for filming a live-action version. Therefore, when I first received the suggestion, if I was in favor or against, of course, I was clearly opposed. However, at the time, I had a strong sense of crisis about the future of the light novel industry, and I felt that "in order to break the current situation of many wolves and few fleshy and rare excellent works and writers being buried one after another, and to attract new audiences for the market, it is necessary to take more bold actions (beyond manga, animation, and gamification)." Because of this idea, I later gave a promise of consent in considerable hesitation.

After two TV anime broadcasts, what do I think now...... Since a large number of people have already been involved in this project, I can't change anything from my current opinion, so I won't talk about it.

As for my role in live-action production, unlike in comics, animations, and gamification, I don't know anything about live-action films, and I'm not an avid fan of films, so this time I've decided not to participate in the production of live-action films at all, and to leave it to the people who made the films.

Because of my character, I can't help but want to express my opinion whenever I hear something, so I specially asked the editor\compiler\ department not to inform me of the filming of the movie. So now I have little to no idea what the script is about and how the actors are chosen. (I just went to the editor\compilation\ department to confirm one thing, it seems that the actors who are now circulating on the Internet are not true.) ）

The only opinion I have expressed about the filmmaker is this: "Don't recreate the content of the novel reluctantly, please make a live-action film that is independent and interesting." "I look forward to the skill of a professional filmmaker.

…… Because of the long time, I would like to summarize it here: "I don't know what kind of movie it will make. If you are interested, please check it out. ”

Finally, I have a request for you.

There was a byline campaign on Twitter asking for the suspension of the production of live-action films. Even if you are dissatisfied with live-action movies, there is no need to crush them, just ignore them. This is not limited to live-action films, but also anime, manga, and games, as well as the original works.

The mood is free, and there is no need to accept what you can't see, and you don't have to like what you hate, so it's good. However, it is not a good idea to forcibly destroy what you don't like, and I have mentioned it in my writings, and I believe it has been passed on to all of you who are enthusiastic readers.

Because I also like two-dimensional mediums such as light novels and anime the most, it would be a lie to say that I didn't have any anxiety about shooting a live-action version. Personally, I would like to affirm or deny my decision two years ago, or wait until the actual work is completed and I will see it before I draw conclusions.

2013.5.2 The novel "My Friends Are Few" by Hirasaka Reading

That's the full text of the author's comment. To put it simply, if you don't like the live-action version, just ignore it. Whether the actors are blind, whether the acting skills are bad, and whether the script is thunderous are not yet conclusive. At the beginning, Hirasaka's reading career had just begun to go smoothly, so it was normal for this kind of opportunity not to be turned down. The live-action version has always been a very controversial field, and the original author is actually in a similar mood to the reader, but in his own position, he needs to express his views with moderation, so this review article was born. Moreover, the live-action version is not without good works, so we can still have a little expectation, as the author said, I don't like it and ignore it.

"I Have Few Friends" is a work written by Japanese light novel writer Yomi Hirasaka, and the illustrations are by Buriki. It was published in 2009 by MF Library J. The original novel is so popular that it was animated in 2011 and is now airing its second season. This work, which is actually "my harem has a lot", naturally needs many lovely heroines in it. The male protagonist of the work is named Hasegawa Kitaka, who is a very normal high school boy, but he is afraid to approach because of his hair color and various reasons that others misunderstand. This work is about him as the center.,Including all kinds of girls around him who can't make friends.,Everyone lives together in the "neighbor department" "happy" remnant story.。
