Mark Crilley’s four-volume manga series, Miki Falls, has been picked up by Paramount and Brad Pitt’s Plan B production shingle, reports Variety. First introduced in 2007, the Miki Falls series centers on a lively high school senior named Miki Yoshida who falls for mysterious new student Hiro Sakurai. Miki refuses to take no for an answer, which leads to a surprising revelation about the secretive young man.
Crilley’s oeuvre includes the hugely popular Akiko young adult novels and comic books. Each Miki Falls book centers on a season of the calendar year, beginning with spring. TV writer Sera Gamble (CW’s Supernatural, Eyes) will be adapting the series for Paramount. She was also a finalist on TV’s Project Greenlight show.
