Tenmaku Cinema Books

Model student and movie nerd Hajime Shinichi’s life is upended when the ghost of 18-year-old screenwriter Takihiko Tenmaku possesses his body. Struck by inspiration, Tenmaku churns out a script—borrowing Hajime’s body, of course—and tries to talk Hajime into directing and producing a short film out of it! The thing is, Hajime loves to watch movies, but the thought of making one of his own has never even crossed his mind. Will he really be able to bring Tenmaku’s screenplay to life?

Gifted screenwriter Takihiko Tenmaku died before his script could ever be turned into a movie. Now his spirit is haunting teenage film buff Hajime Shinichi, and he’s written a new script from beyond the grave. With Hajime in the director’s chair, the Movie Research Club working as the crew, and Hinaki Kurai—an actual professional actress—in the starring role, The Shore is really getting made…or Tenmaku might never be able to pass on!
