It was published by Shogakukan, with four volumes released.[1] A live action film adaptation titled A Farewell to Jinu (ジヌよさらば ～かむろば村へ～, Jinuyo Saraba: Kamuroba Mura e), directed by Suzuki Matsuo, was released on April 4, 2015.[2][3]

Plot

Based on a manga series, the film stars Matsuda Ryuhei and concerns a man who develops a deep fear of money who moves to a small and remote village to deal with his phobia. The story takes place in Tōhoku region.[2]

Former bank clerk Takeharu thought he was strange when he moved to a remote village in Japan's northeastern Tohoku region after developing an inexplicable “money allergy.” However, as he attempts to live a peaceful rural life without currency, Kamuroba village's bizarre characters draw him out of his shell in this increasingly surreal madcap comedy.

However, when a nearby town leader attempts to overthrow the handyman bus driver mayor, Takeharu must prove his attachment to Kamuroba and its people.
