The Kageki Shoujo!! manga from Kumiko Saiki saw its original shortened run picked up by Seven Seas Entertainment earlier this year for an omnibus release. The current manga, with just one exclamation mark, is underway and is now getting a new TV anime adaptation in 2021 according to the latest Melody magazine. No details regarding it were released but more news is expected after the magazine makes its debut tomorrow.
Plot Concept: Like the Takarazuka Revue, the young women who go to the arts academy Kouka Kageki High School play all the parts of musical theater, be they female or male. Narada Ai is a jaded former idol performing female roles—her roommate, playing male roles, is bright-eyed country girl Watanabe Sarasa. From the school to the stage to the rest of their lives, there is no challenge these young women can’t face with their passion for performance. Also known as Kageki Shoujo!! Season Zero in Japan, this recent re-release of the original two-volume series for the franchise is packaged in one updated and beautiful omnibus.
