Top Japanese Manga Live-Actions

Here are my favorite Japanese live-action manga drama and movie adaptations. I have also not completed the majority of the actual manga for these live actions; thus, my rankings are more so based on the movies alone.

1. Sky of Love

Japanese Movie - 2007

9.0

One of the first Japanese language movies I watched (outside of Anime) and perhaps one of the first Asian language movies I watched ever! I thought the leads Yui Aragaki and Haruma Miura (may he rest in peace) had great chemistry. I have not seen the Japanese drama adaption of Koizora but, based on covers/trailers alone I prefer the movie more
2. I Give My First Love to You

Japanese Movie - 2009

8.5

Another Japanese movie that also has a Japanese drama adaption. I have seen both adaptations where I personally prefer the movie once again as I felt that it had more emotion and chemistry in it despite being a movie. I also often found myself rewatching the movie as the main leads Mao Inoue and Masaki Okada are so cute together!
3. Closest Love to Heaven

Japanese Movie - 2017

8.5

This is another Japanese live-action that I find myself rewatching simply because of the great chemistry between the two main leads and cute storyline.
4. As Long as We Both Shall Live

Japanese Movie - 2023

8.5
5. The Black Devil and the White Prince

Japanese Movie - 2016

8.5

Japanese Drama - 2020, 7 episodes
