The eighth issue of Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume magazine revealed on Tuesday that Mizuho Kusanagi’s Yona of the Dawn (Akatsuki no Yona) manga will get a new musical stage play at Tokyo’s Theater H in July.
The last stage play ran in November 2018 at Tokyo’s EX Theater Roppongi, starring Nogizaka46 member Rina Ikoma as Yona and DISH// band member Masaki Yabe as Hak.
Risa Niigaki and Yūya Matsushita starred as Yona and Hak, respectively. Kusanagi — the creator of Mugen Spiral, Game X Rush, and NG Life — launched the Yona of the Dawn manga in 2009.
The series has also inspired a 24-episode anime and several original anime DVDs.
