Even more Nodame

Following this week's earlier announcement of a third season of the anime adaptation of Tomoko Ninomiya's Nodame Cantabile, AnimeNewsNetwork is now saying that there will be two more live-action movie adaptations, too.

I've never liked Nodame's live-action adaptations as well as the manga or anime (they're well done, and the actor who plays Chiaki is supernova-hot, but I still think Nodame's slapstick humor doesn't suit the live-action format), but all this news just makes me even more eager for Ninomiya's return from maternity leave. Hurry back, Ms. Ninomiya--your public awaits.
