## **Chinese Adaptations**

### **Unproduced Chinese Adaptations**

It was announced in 2016 that a drama based on elements from several Junji Ito stories would be produced as a Chinese drama.[7]

Additionally, it was also announced Rib Woman (肋骨怪女) would be adapted for Chinese audiences as well. [8][9]

### **Bloody Smart (2023)**

*聰明鎮* - Bloody Smart is the first Chinese-language series adapted from Junji Ito's works, and it is also a multinational series of Taiwan-Japan cooperation.
[10]

To commemorate filming, JunjI Ito drew a sketch:

"The film crew are from China, who were intended to make two adaptations (one of them was finished filming) but both were probably banned by the government in 2016. Rumour has it the crew went to Taiwan and got the allowance from the Taiwan government so they finally can start filming the current TV drama, Bloody Smart." - via [Ito Hong Kong Fan Club]

A funding campaign to complete post production was started in October of 2022 with various rewards. The website also revealed concept art for the series.
