Man, I see this question pop up a lot and the short of it is, no, there's no anime or live-action version of 'Sense' yet. And honestly, I'm kind of glad. The art in the manga is so uniquely atmospheric, with all that dense cross-hatching and shadow work that builds the paranoid, claustrophobic mood. I can't imagine an anime studio capturing that texture without it just looking generically dark.
Some fans keep hoping for an announcement, especially since psychological thrillers have been getting more adaptations lately. But the story's pace—a lot of internal monologue and slow-burning dread—might not translate well to a weekly episode format. It could end up feeling sluggish. I'd rather have no adaptation than a rushed or poorly budgeted one that misses the point entirely. The silence from the creators probably means it's not in the works, which is fine by me; the manga stands strong on its own.

Last I checked, which was pretty recently while digging through some industry news blogs, there hasn't been any official announcement for an anime or live-action adaptation of 'Flames'. I follow a few of the publisher's social accounts and some animation studio rumor mills, and it's been radio silent. Usually, with a manga that's gained a decent following, you'd hear whispers or see some teaser art by now. The art style in 'Flames' is pretty distinctive—lots of dynamic, almost chaotic line work for the fire effects—so an anime adaptation would need a studio that could really do it justice, maybe like Bones or Ufotable. I wonder if the production committees are waiting to see if the manga's popularity holds steady for a few more volumes. Sometimes they like a bigger backlog of source material before committing.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if something is in the very early planning stages, but 'planned' is a strong word. It's more like 'hoped for' by fans at this point. I've seen live-action adaptations completely butcher similar supernatural action concepts, so honestly, I'm kind of relieved there isn't one yet. Let the manga breathe and finish strong first. I'd hate for a rushed anime to mess with the pacing or for a live-action to cast some idol who can't act in the lead role.

Honestly, I haven't seen any official word about an anime or live-action adaptation of 'Yugen'—not on the publisher's site, not on the usual news outlets, and not from the mangaka's social accounts.
That said, adaptations can sprout from quiet places: a surprise announcement at a comic convention, a short teaser on the publisher's Twitter, or a licensing blurb months before production starts. If 'Yugen' keeps growing in readership and attracts strong fan art and spotlight articles, it becomes a much easier sell to studios looking for fresh material. The art style and pacing matter a lot too; tighter, atmospheric manga often get picked up for anime, while slice-of-life or visually subtle works sometimes get teased into live-action if the tone can translate.
So, bottom line—no confirmed adaptation news that I can point to, but the possibility isn't zero. If you love 'Yugen', keep sharing the love and watch official channels; I’m quietly hopeful myself.

'SENSE'? That deep-sea one by Shimizu Tetsuto? The main plot follows a group of scientists and crew on a research submersible called the 'Aegir' that gets attacked and stranded on the ocean floor by these massive, intelligent cephalopod creatures dubbed 'Sirens'. It's a fight for survival down in crushing darkness, but the twist is that these Sirens aren't mindless monsters – they show signs of a complex society and maybe even a grudge against humanity. The themes go way beyond a simple creature feature. It digs into the terror of the unknown and the arrogance of human exploration, questioning who the real invasive species is when we're poking around seven miles down. The isolation and pressure cooker environment make every character decision feel huge.
I found the way it handles communication, or the terrifying lack of it, to be its strongest point. We're so used to humanizing aliens or monsters, but the Sirens are genuinely alien. Their motives are ambiguous, which makes every encounter incredibly tense. The art is phenomenal at conveying that suffocating, lightless abyss. You can almost feel the hull creaking.

I'm probably not the most up-to-date person on this, but from what I've seen and read in various forums, there's been talk for years. The manhwa got the anime, which makes sense—it's a visual powerhouse. But the original web novel? It feels like a different beast to adapt. The inner monologue and system messages are such a huge part of the early experience. Translating that dense, game-like text into a flowing visual narrative would be tricky.
A live-action seems even less likely to me, honestly. The scale of the later arcs, the gates, the giant monsters... the budget would have to be astronomical to not look silly. Maybe a Korean studio could pull it off as a high-end drama series, but I think the property's peak adaptation window was around the manhwa's height. Now that the anime's first season is done, I suspect any further screen projects will focus on continuing that, not going back to the novel source for a separate take.
It's a shame, because the novel has a rawness the polished manhwa art sometimes smooths over. I'd love to see someone try to capture that grinding, almost claustrophobic feel of the early chapters on screen.

Manga about senses? Might be talking about 'Sense'. Yeah, that one's by Shin'ichi Fukuda. Plot's wild: the world gets hit by a virus that kills everyone's sense of taste, smell, and sight, but then people start being born with these crazy super senses to compensate. The main dude, Yakumo Saitou, has this insane 'Absolute Sense' that's basically like a radar for everything, but it overloads him, so he's kind of a recluse living in a pitch-black room. He gets dragged into helping the government's 'Sensory Special Forces' to deal with criminals who've weaponized their own senses. The key characters are all defined by their specific overpowered senses—Yakumo, the sensory detective; Touko Kuroki, the agent who recruits him; and various antagonists like Kaoru, a kid with an amplified sense of hearing who gets manipulated. The manga's not just action; it really digs into what it means to be human when your perception of reality is completely different.
I liked how it uses the sensory premise to play with mystery and combat scenarios you just don't see elsewhere. The art does a good job of visualizing things like scent trails or sonic waves, which is neat. Some of the science is definitely hand-wavy, but the character dynamics between the cynical Yakumo and the more idealistic Touko keep it grounded. Honestly, the power scaling gets a bit ridiculous later on, but the early arcs are a blast.

the rumors about a TV adaptation have been swirling for a while now. From what I've gathered, there's no official confirmation yet, but the buzz is strong enough to suggest something might be in the works. The novel's unique blend of romance and psychological depth would translate beautifully to the screen, especially with the right director. I can already picture the atmospheric visuals and the intense character dynamics. If it does get greenlit, I really hope they stay true to the source material because the book's emotional resonance is its strongest asset.

I know people get excited about seeing their favorite manga adapted, but from what I've gathered over the years, 'Downpour' doesn't have an anime or live-action version. It's one of those webtoon-ish manhwa series that kind of flew under the radar outside of dedicated fan circles. I remember searching high and low a while back, hoping for an animated version of those intense, rainy fight scenes, but came up empty. It's a shame, because the atmosphere in the source material is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and a good studio could do wonders with that visual style.
Sometimes I wonder if the story's pacing, which has a very deliberate, almost melancholic build-up, might not fit the usual fast-paced anime season model. It might work better as a movie or a limited series, but so far, nothing's been announced. I'd keep an eye on the original publisher's socials for any surprise updates, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Still a fantastic read, though.

I'm not sure if you're asking about a specific series named 'Sense Manga' or the broader concept, but I think you might be referring to 'Fruit's Basket'? That's the one that immediately comes to mind when talking about emotional depth in manga.
It's a masterclass in slow-burn character development. The story uses the Zodiac curse as this brilliant metaphor for inherited trauma and emotional repression. You don't just see Tohru being kind; you see her kindness actively chipping away at the Sohma family's decades of isolation.
The emotional payoff isn't in big battles, but in tiny moments—like when Yuki finally admits he was jealous of Kyo, or Kyo learning to accept that he's allowed to be loved. It makes you sit with these complicated feelings for dozens of chapters, so when a character finally breaks, you feel that release right along with them.

List time — I love talking about messy romances, so here’s a neat roundup of manga about cheating or tangled infidelity that actually made it to screen adaptations.
'Kuzu no Honkai' is one of my go-to recs if you want raw, uncomfortable emotion; it got a solid anime that captures the bitter, complicated relationships the manga lays out. 'Domestic na Kanojo' also went the anime route and leans into the taboo love-triangle energy that makes cheating-feeling plots so addictive. Both feel heavy and character-driven, not just scandal for scandal's sake.
On the live-action side, 'Liar Game' is a different kind of cheating — psychological manipulation and con games — and the TV dramas and films are addictive, tense, and clever. 'Nana' deserves a shout too: the manga’s complicated romantic betrayals translated into both an anime series and popular live-action films, and the songs plus performances really sell the heartbreak. Those are my favorites to watch when I want stories that are messy but emotionally honest.
