A stage play adaptation of Rengoku ni Warau (Laughing in Purgatory), Kemuri Karakara’s prequel manga to Donten ni Warau (Laughing Under the Clouds), has been green-lit.
The original Laughing Under the Clouds manga inspired a 12-episode television anime in 2014.
The manga serves as a prequel to Laughing Under the Clouds, and it is set during Japan’s Warring States period, 300 years before the main manga’s story.
The play will debut in August at the Sunshine Theater in Tokyo and at the Morinomiya Piloti Hall in Osaka.
