Yaaaaay! Am I the only one excited? Probably. Details below the cut.
And here’s what’s available so far:
Yamada will be played by Yusuke Yamamoto, whom you may know from Kamen Rider: Kabuto (a.k.a. the best Kamen Rider ever) or the GTO TV series. Have some pictures.
I think he’ll nail the part.
For Shiraishi, we have Mariya Nishiuchi. She hasn’t done much that I know of, just some old lady from the latest One Piece movie. She was also in GTO apparently. Some pictures of her.
And together?
It bugs me that they may keep her brown hair, but who knows. There’s also an official site for the TV series, and to quote:
The appeal of this series is its mold-breaking use of kisses between boys and girls as the central plot device, as well as the suspense of the unfolding mysteries of the seven witches. Also, in keeping with the wonderful balance of friendship and love in this youth comedy, there will be TV-original characters that will not appear in the original story. Whether you’re a fan of the original or just tuning in, you’ll be sure to enjoy this light, upbeat, and very different show. The name of the game is “kissing”. Be sure to tune in!
Yamada and the Seven Witches begins airing on Saturday, August 10th at 11:10 pm on Fuji Television. Each episode will be approximately 45 minutes.
Mahou-X 
TV original characters eh?
I’m not really in the loop when it comes to 3D shows, does stuff like this get subbed?
Well Yoshikawa’s other series got subbed, albeit slowly. I only know people that do the Kamen Rider and sentai shows, so I can’t say for sure if this one will.
WOWOWOW~!! Im sooo excited with the series~!! I got to see the Yankee-kun to Megane-chan live action and I also loved it…
well, since there will be original characters the series will be unique in its own way :D
Hi!
To be honest, I would have preferred an anime. I would have suited more imho (the character´s expressions, some exaggerated gestures, and because I am used to the manga faces).
Even so, I’m getting excited about the series though the idea of “tv-original characters” slightly puts me off. I wonder if they are going to alter the plot a lot as well. I don´t want the whole plot and essence of Yamada (including its characters) to be changed. I love this story and characters so much!!!
But of course, I will wait and watch the series (if subtitles are available lol) to judge these changes, I won´t mind them if they really enhance the series.
Thanks for the post!
agreed 100%.
Disagreed 100%.
so you don’t want yamada to have an anime? you don’t love yamada-kun to 7-nin no majo? you don’t wait to actually read or watch something before you judge it?
all of these things were in the post, so unless you actually disagree with these don’t say “disagreed 100%” just to troll…
:o
…90%?
ok ;o
Thought it was a joke, it’s legit. I wonder how long the manga will last. Besides the whole investigation and bonding stuff nothing much has happened story-wise.
I mean the story has potential to last a long time, hope it doesn’t end with the seventh witch.
That last picture is cute. (｡♥‿♥｡)
If the actors are any good, the body swap shenanigans are gonna be hilarious.
If you can watch more than three episodes lol
Cool! It would be better if Yamada played by a different actor though. :/ I feel like he does’nt fit in. Will you translate it to English? That would be great….

He’s perfect, you shush.
And translate it? Ehhhhhhhhh if I don’t have to time it maybe.
Hahahaa! I did not watch this first one :D I like the guy but as Yamada I would prefer more manly face, he is cute but I don’t feel like it. He was the one from Tamaki of Ouran Highschool as well and I like his acting skills. But still I would prefer someone like this as Yamada http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2FScNEM0xRo/UP3ca93n31I/AAAAAAAAIgg/u2qE1nrKut4/s1600/bb3.jpg it’s just my taste for Yamada :)
C’mon, you know all the lines, it should not be so hard for you. We love your work so we should watch it with your subs. :)
Timing hard. Brain no likey. Go bug Kage, he’s the fansubber.
Japanese Kamen Rider looks a lot cooler than the western one.
I was expecting more of an anime adaptation but guess this will do… thanks for sharing and looking forward for the next chapters…. can’t wait to see what yamada will do on the seventh witch…
Cheers!
there will be ushio right? and president? if is not, it s*ck then… haha just kidding. TAMAKI SENPAI!!!! (yusuke yamamoto) :D
No Ouran fans allowed.
This looks interesting. Thanks for letting everyone know.
WAH! the guy’s smirk really looks like yamada’s!
the shiraishi actress doesn’t look like tha part though
