Re-Kan! Manga Gets Stage Play Adaptation in November
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Houbunsha opened a website on Sunday to announce that a stage play adaptation of Hinako Seta's Re-Kan! four-panel manga has been green-lit. The website features a visual for the production.
The website reveals that the play will have eight performances from November 11 to November 15 at the Nihon Geijutsu Senmon Gakkō Ōmori Gekijō (Japan Technical Art School Ōmori Theatre). The "Reikan Taiken" (supernatural-sensing experience) ticket will cost 5,500 yen (about US$46), while the Guest ticket will cost 6,500 yen (about US$54). The VIP ticket will cost 8,000 yen (about US$67).
Ichidai Matsuda is directing the stage play production.
Seta's original manga centers around Hibiki Amami, a girl who can see ghosts and other supernatural phenomena in her surroundings. The stories follow her daily life with both her friends and the otherworldly.
Seta started the manga as a one-shot story in Houbunsha's Manga Time Jumbo in 2009, and then turned it into a regular series in 2010. Houbunsha published the sixth compiled book volume on April 22. The manga inspired a 13-episode TV anime adaptation that premiered in Japan on April 2. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired, and Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime for North America.
