All month long we’ve been celebrating the amazing series that have made the jump from manga page to anime and even live-action TV & films. This week, we’ve asked the manga experts at Kodansha for their “staff picks” of series they’d love to see adapted for the screen, and are spotlighting these tremendous tales at a discount during the Manga on Screen: Wishlist digital manga sale!

Take up to 50% off what Kodansha staffers think are manga series primed for adaptations! Imagine a live-action drama of the cute yet poignant college rom-com, A Sign of Affection. Or even a beautifully rendered anime-adaptation of the dark sci-fi epic, APOSIMZ. We can totally see the kinds of hilarious & heartfelt episodes that would come from adapting an anime of the lycanthrope love story, That Wolf Boy is Mine. And we would DIE of excitement over a featured film of the fashion forward trans coming-of-age tale, Boys Run the Riot. Any of the series featured in this sale would make a thrilling, frightening, and excellent adaptation – but why not start with the manga at an affordable price.

Note to fans about this sale: None of the titles featured in this sale are currently planned for an anime or live-action adaptation this is only a sale celebrating series we “wish” would make the jump in the future!
