]] The manga was adapted into a 10-episode live-action {{dorama}} in 2009.


Added DiffLines:

** Happens more often in the live-action adaptation, with more characters actually outright asking if Touma is Kana's boyfriend.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipTease: Happens once in a while with Touma and Kana in the manga. The live action series is even more blatant, with a love song playing over the pair as the ending theme. The penultimate episode even ends with Kana taking an imaginary picture of Touma and holding it to her heart, and the finale is a MaybeEverAfter that all but outright states they're a couple now.
