Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga Hits The Stage in Japan in December

Theater-goers in Tokyo will soon have the opportunity to learn the true power of becoming a manga author, because Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga (known in Japan as Saru demo Kakeru Manga Kyoshitsu), a parody instructional manga by Koji Aihara and Kentaro Takekuma that purports to unlock the secrets of creating sure-fire hit Japanese comics, is being adapted into a stage play that will run in Tokyo in December of 2021.

The Even a Monkey Can Draw Manga stage play will run from December 15 – 19, 2021, in the Shimokitazawa theater space at the Shougekijou B1 venue in Kitazawa, Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan.

This mock-instructional tome is actually a hilarious parody in graphic novel form of those books which seek to advise one on “how to draw manga.”
