The Takarazuka Revue, Japan’s renowned all-female theater troupe, has announced that its newest production will be a stage adaptation of City Hunter.
Follow Casey on Twitter, where, fittingly, he had the phrase “kurikaeshi” pounded into his head by the ending theme to City Hunter Bay City Wars.
In addition to being a private eye and bodyguard, Ryo Saeba, star of City Hunter, is also the greatest pervert in the anime/manga world (really, he won the election and everything).
Rather than adapting an existing story from the 1985 City Hunter manga or one of its many anime installments, this looks to be a new story, and a musical one to boot, with the official title Musical City Hunter: The Stolen XYZ.
