The February issue of Akita Shoten’s Monthly Mystery Bonita magazine announced on Friday that Abi Umeda’s Kujira no Kora wa Sajō ni Utau (Whale Calves Sing on the Sand) manga is receiving an anime adaptation.
The series inspired a stage play adaptation that ran at AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo from April 14 to April 19, 2016.
A boy named Chakuro lives on the giant vessel Mud Whale that drifts over the sea of sand.
Umeda launched the series in the magazine in 2013 as her second shōjo manga.
