Manga artist BINO announced on her official Twitter today that a live-action TV drama adaptation of her representative work Jyoshi Kousei no Mudazukai / Wasteful Days of High School Girls slice-of-life comedy manga will be aired in January 2020. It was previously adapted into a 12-episode TV anime by Passione in the summer of 2019.

The manga's original edition was serialized in Nico Nico Seiga. Then its remake edition started posting commercially on KADOKAWA's web comic site Comic Walker from December 2015. It is now running on KADOKAWA's Comic Newtype site and its latest seventh tankobon volume is set to be released January 10, 2020.

Message from the manga author:

"All of the characters in this manga have some unfortunate side or inferiority complex, but they don't try to overcome them basically. Only low-level everyday life continues in a classroom where low-level girls gather to have low-level conversations. But I think that's why there are points that the readers can be empathized with them, cheered up, and laugh. A live-action drama can convey such an atmosphere more realistically than manga and anime, so I'm so excited to watch it already now."
