Netflix Japan Sets New Manga Adaptation

Netflix Japan Sets New Manga Adaptation

S&X, a manga series by Kisei Tada, originally published by Kodansha, is getting a live-action version on Netflix starring Kento Nakajima.

The series revolves around a sex therapist. “While writing the manga, I focused on the themes that ‘you don’t have to carry sexual concerns alone’ and ‘there are places where you can seek help,'” Tada noted. “As a viewer myself, I am incredibly excited to see how Kento Nakajima will bring this complex character to life!”

“This story confronts sexuality and the inner heart head-on,” said Mariko Seto, producer. “Sexual concerns are unique to every individual. Rather than being swept away by the current trend of labeling things as right or wrong, I hope to convey the importance of facing others, listening to them, and standing by their side.”

Produced by OFFICE SHIROUS, the series streams worldwide this year.
