Live-Action Angel Heart adaptation? Might watch it

Not to be confused with the Hollywood film from the 1980s, Angel Heart is a Manga series drawn/ written by Tsukasa Hojo and is a sequel to the longer running City Hunter. I enjoy what I've seen of both series but it's actually nice to have are more authentic   take on this world. 

There was a  movie from 90s called City Hunter that starred well-known Action star Jackie Chan. Fun movie even has a few memorable pop culture references in it but not quite faithful to the original work. In 2011 there was that South Korean drama series.

According to this post on Crunchyroll The two major (in my opinion) roles in the Angel Heart story have been cast. Ryo Saeba  and Xiang-Ying. Anyway I hope the streaming rights to this show get picked up by Crunchyroll or it ends up  on Hulu's Asian drama section.
