Nelke Planning announced on July 26 that writer Atsuko Asano and illustrator Hinoki Kino’s No. 6 novels are inspiring a stage musical adaptation that will run in Tokyo from November 8-17 and in Osaka from November 22-24.
The musical will star Hikaru Imamaki as Sion and Kazuki Furuta as Nezumi (Rat).
But even as Shion is being sent to the city’s Correctional Institute, the long missing Rat reappears to rescue him!
The novels inspired an 11-episode television anime series in 2011 by BONES.
