Apple TV dives into live action manga adaptations with Drops of God

THOUGHT EXERCISE OF THE MOMENT: If an American live-action series is based on a manga, does it count as a J-drama?

Smart money says no, but Tokyo Vice is on my rating schedule with hundreds of anime, one hypothetical anime and three J-dramas, so who knows by my flexible standards?

(I have since learned that Drops of God will be a U.S.-France-Japan co-production. Guess it's 1/3 J-drama like Tokyo Vice is 1/2.)

The thing is that the premise reminds me of a film I saw a month back called Bottle Shock, but that was loosely based on a true story.  That being said, nothing in Drops or Bottle Shock felt that it would be out of place in a live-action drama.
