This year's 18th issue of Kodansha' Bessatsu Friend magazine has announced on Friday that a television drama series based on Tomoko Hayakawa's The Wallflower (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge) manga has been green-lit for a January premiere. The story follows four teenaged "pretty boys" who are invited to stay at a posh mansion, free of charge—provided they can transform the owner's standoffish, weird niece into a proper young lady. More details about the drama version will be published in future issues of Bessatsu Friend.
The manga has been running in Bessatsu Friend since 2000, and 24 compiled book volumes have been published so far. Del Rey will publish the 22nd volume in North America next January.

The same song will be the theme song of the third Eagle Talon film, and it will serve as the title track for Boyle's first album in Japan on November 25.

The Crunchyroll media-distribution website has announced on Friday that it will begin simulcasting the Yumeiro Pâtissière (Dream-Colored Pastry Chef) pastry-baking anime series on November 8. The anime adapts Natsumi Matsumoto's shōjo manga about a 14-year-old girl named Ichigo Amano (Aoi Yūki) who wants to be a pâtissière (female pastry chef), but is stymied by her own clumsiness. One day, she enrolls in St. Mary Academy, a culinary school for sweets, and meets a "spirit of sweets."
Director Ko Suzuki and Studio Pierrot premiered this anime in Japanese television on October 4. Crunchyroll's video streams will be available in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and the United Arab Emirates. Crunchyroll's subscribed Anime Members can see each new episode, in 720-line progressive resolution, within one hour of its Japanese premiere. Other users can see the same episode in standard definition for free one week later.
夢色パティシエール (2009)
Ichigo Amano is pretty average. Her looks don't really stand out, she can't play any sports and doesn't do very well in school. Even though she and her younger sister, Natsume, have been taking piano lessons, only Natsume excels at it enough to win an award. While attending one of her sister's concerts, she comes across a sweets festival and eats a slice of cake that tastes eerily familiar. When Ichigo confronts the one who made it, she comes to find a Frenchman named Henri Lucas. It turns out her recently deceased grandmother attended the St. Marie school in Paris, where she learned to be a Patissiere. Not only that, "Madame Michiko" was quite famous, and Henri is further impressed that Ichigo was able to identify such a thing with just one bite. He encourages her to enroll in the Japanese division of the school. Remembering the declaration she made as a little girl that she would be a Patissiere too, she becomes determined to do so.
