Yakuza PSP crosses over into TV and manga
Sega wants you to believe these three guys are tough. That's sort of a requirement for accepting them as protagonists of a new
Yakuza TV series, based on the PSP's
Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapter and bearing the same title. Japan's TBS and MBS stations will begin showing the live action adaptation, featuring an original story, every Tuesday night starting October 5. Later, the episodes will be available for rental on Japan's PlayStation Store.
In addition to the TV series, a
Yakuza manga will be released, also starring the PSP game's protagonist, Tatsuya Ukyo. It'll be serialized in
Weekly Young magazine. That's ... a lot of
Yakuza. And that's not even taking the
other upcoming Yakuza game into consideration.
