For those of you who has read the Manga series “Salaryman Kintaro” or has watched the anime series that was based off the manga. Good news for those who have, there is a new Tv drama series to be based off of it accord to Anime News Network.

The combined 36/37th issue of Shueisha Weekly Young Jump magazine has announced on Thursday that Hiroshi Motomiya Salaryman Kintaro workplace manga classic will be adapted as a new television drama series this October. Newcomer Masaru Nagai will play the title role of Kintaro Yajima, a retired biker gang leader whose wife passed away during childbirth. Kintaro vows to become a corporate cog to ensure his baby boy’s well-being, but discovers his abrasive, uncompromising ways work surprisingly well in the straitlaced Japanese workplace.

I have never seen the Anime nor have I read the Manga, but I figured tihs would be an interesting piece of news for those who have.
