The question and answer were published in 2013, after the release of Gintama The Movie: Kanketsu-hen – Yorozuya yo Eien Nare.Īs you might already know, the Gintama live-action movie is scheduled for release next year. So ma’am, if you’re feeling sorry for us, don’t just watch the movies, but also buy our books so that we can live at Roppongi Hills with the publishing royalties. The authors are the only ones who harbour such honest intentions with their creations. If Gintama can reach the hearts of the masses, I wouldn’t mind living in a hill made of cardboard. Releasing individual manga volumes is way more profitable.īut the reason why I slog to fulfill these film adaptations, to the extent that I’m peeing blood, is because there is a place in this world that is more wonderful than a mansion at Roppongi Hills. The majority of the profits go to filthy unscrupulous companies such as Shueisha and Sunrise. The amount we’re paid is peanuts in comparison to the overall box office gross. To tell the naked truth, regardless of how many people watch the film or how much the gross earnings are, not a single yen goes to the author. A while ago, my mother heard that the Gintama animation film was a big hit, and commented that “(Hideaki Sorachi) must be living at Roppongi Hills since it’s so popular”. Japanese Twitter user recently posted an image of a bonus Q&A section published in the 51st collected volume of manga Gintama, where author Hideaki Sorachi reveals the saddening truth behind the glamour of big screen adaptations.
With the recent boom for live-action movie adaptations of manga, many people think that manga artists are raking in money with all the various adaptations of their work, but is that really the case? Depending on the popularity of the series, the adaptations don’t just stop at anime series, but go on to animated films, live-action movies, and sometimes even musicals. If you love anime and manga, you’re probably be aware that a large percentage of anime are adapted from existing manga series. Watching a film adaptation multiple times might not be the best way to financially support your favourite manga artist.
