Saki Hiwatari's legendary shojo manga Please Save My Earth is preparing to make the leap to live-action. The adaptation has been slated for an exclusive global release on Amazon Prime Video in the fall of 2027, bringing one of the 1980s' most influential speculative romance tales into a new live-action medium. Alice Hirose has been confirmed to star in the pivotal role of Mokuren, anchoring a production backed by major industry players.
Creative Vision
Directing duties for the project fall to Takahiro Miki, known for translating emotive manga narratives to the screen, while Nana Yamamoto is penning the scripts. Musical composition is handled by Moshimoss. The ambitious undertaking is presented by Amazon MGM Studios, with planning and production driven by THE SEVEN collective in collaboration with Kadokawa Daiei Studio.
A Timeless Legacy
Originally serialized in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine by Saki Hiwatari from 1986 to 1994, Please Save My Earth (known as Boku no Chikyū wo Mamotte or Boku Tama) captured readers with its complex blend of reincarnation, alien memories, and psychological drama. Viz Media published the original manga in North America, following up with an acclaimed original video anime adaptation by Production I.G in the early 1990s. The franchise subsequently expanded through multiple sequel series, cementing its enduring status in manga history.
