Yuu Watase's manga Absolute Boyfriend is being mad into a live action drama series scheduled to air in Japan starting on April 15th of this year.

The following is an article from animenewsnetwork.com :

23-year-old Mokomichi Hayami (Densha Otoko, Gokusen live-action dramas) will star as the "ikemen (handsome) lover robot" in Absolute Boyfriend, the drama adaptation of Yuu Watase's romantic comedy manga that will premiere on Japan's Fuji TV on April 8. Watase created the popular Fushigi Yuugi and Ceres: Celestial Legend romance manga, both of which were adapted into anime. 22-year-old Saki Aibu (Doraemon: Nobita no Shin Makai Daibōken - Shichinin no Mahōtsukai) will play the young office lady who accidentally receives Night Tenjō, the latest model of "lover robots." 23-year-old Hiro Mizushima (Hana Zakari No Kimitachi E: Ikemen Paradise, Lovely Complex) will play the human "rival" to Night Tenjō. - Anime News Network

This is the article from wiki.d-addicts.com :

Izawa Riko is a temp worker in search of a boyfriend, and she ends up in possession of a "robot" known as Night Tenjo, who is programmed to be the perfect boyfriend. However, this creates a love triangle with a distinguished young man at her company who has feelings for her. - DramaWiki

The casting on this looks really good...and I'm actually glad that they're changing the ages of the characters. It still makes sense, and it's a little more mature.

Weird...I guess I'd be interested in seeing it biggrin Although, I'd prefer it if it was an anime. Japenese live action shows usually aren't as good as their anime counterparts.

I thought it was so much better than the manga. I can't say what exactly it was, but I thought it was better. The last episode made me cry...
