The official website for the live-action series of Akiko Higashimura’s Bishoku Tantei Akechi Gorō (Gourmet Detective Gorō Akechi) manga revealed on Tuesday that Eiko Koike is joining the show’s cast as a woman known only as “Mary Magdalene.”
Higashimura launched the Gisō Furin (Disguised Adultery) color web manga on the web manga site XOY in December 2017.
The seventh compiled book volume is listing the series as ending in the eighth volume in spring 2020.
The manga moved to the LINE Manga service in January when XOY closed that same month.
