Hiroshi Kurao launched a new Fist of the North Star spinoff manga titled Hokuto no Ken Seikimatsu Drama Satsuei-hen (Fist of the North Star Apocalypse Drama Filming Arc) on the Comic Zenon manga website on February 26.
The manga previously inspired the Hokuto no Ken – Seikimatsu Zako Densetsu (Fist of the North Star – End of the Century Legend of a Random Thug) stage production in September 2017.
The stage musical is a co-production of HoriPro, Hakuhodo DY Media Partners, and the Shanghai-based theatre performance company Ranspace, in collaboration with Coamix.
Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde, Whitney Houston’s “Where Do Broken Hearts Go,” Death Note: The Musical) scored the music, and Sachiko Ishimaru is directing.
