The official website for the stage play adaptation of Moto Hagio’s Poe no Ichizoku (The Poe Clan) manga by the famous all-female musical theater troupe Takarazuka Revue revealed a new visual on Sunday of Rio Asumi in costume as the character Edgar Portsnell.
Rio Asumi and Ayase Senna are starring the play, and Shūichirō Koike is directing the play and penning the script.
While the suspense television series tells an original story, it still shares the same worldview of Hagio’s original manga.
The Takarazuka Revue performed a musical for Rurouni Kenshin last year, and will perform a musical adaptation of Waki Yamato’s Haikara-san ga Tooru manga in October.
