“Do It Yourself!!” is joining many other animes that are getting or got a live-action adaptation. Official news from the official website of “Do It Yourself!!,” an original TV anime by Pine Jam, revealed today that the anime would get its very own live-action adaptation.
The official news piece said that, like the anime, the live-action adaptation would be shot on location in Sanjō City in the Niigata prefecture in Japan. More details about this new project now in the works will be unveiled this May 28th during an event centered on the anime.

The plot is described as follows, “Building furniture and friendships have a lot in common. Intention, effort, and hard work are needed for both crafts. This is a story of girls in a DIY club building both as they carve out their futures. None of it comes easy, but that doesn’t stop any of ’em. Furniture, friendships, and the future—they’re building it all with their own hands!”
