Last month, it was revealed that Maki Hashiba's "Tokyo Ghost Trip" manga is being turned into a live-action series, starring actors Juri and Ren Yagami.

The comedy series currently runs in Tosuisha's yaoi-focused Ichiraci magazine. Setsu (Juri) and Souwa (Yagami) are members of the Inui family, descended from itako (traditionally, blind female shamans from northern Japan). Their high school graduation is coming up, but the head of the Inui family suddenly runs away. Their older brother Kai (Renn Kiriyama), a priest who studied exorcism abroad, becomes their guardian, and Setsu and Souwa are forced to take over the family business of dealing with spirits.

Yoshikazu Kotani and Yukihiro Takiguchi play two other members of the Inui family, while Ryoma Baba plays a ghost named Isuzu Kitano.

The series will air on Tokyo MX starting this April.
