The original novel already inspired two live-action television series in 2005 and 2006 with a female protagonist, Miwako Kanbe.
The official website for Fugō Keiji Balance: Unlimited, the television anime of Yasutaka Tsutsui’s bestselling detective novel Fugō Keiji (Wealthy Detective), revealed on Friday the anime’s cast, ending theme song, promotional video, key visual, and April 9 premiere.
Tsutsui’s original Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Paprika novels as well as his other writings are available in English.
