The official website of Shogakukan's Monthly Flowers magazine revealed on Tuesday that Setona Mizushiro's Black Rose Alice (Kurobara Alice) manga will get a stage play adaptation in early summer this year. More information on the stage play will appear in the next issue of Monthly Flowers, which Shogakukan will publish on July 28.
Shogakukan has also scheduled the release dates of the manga's collected reprint volumes. The first and second volumes are slated for August 10, the third and fourth for September 9, and the fifth and sixth on October 7.
The vampire manga revolves around Dimitri, a tenor singer in Vienna who miraculously survives an accident. Since then, Dimitri's body has felt odd. One day after a rehearsal, Dimitri's lover, theatre manager, and other performers suddenly commit mass suicide. A man named Maximilian then confronts Dimitri and tells him he has become a vampire.
Mizushiro launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Monthly Princess magazine in 2008. The author put the manga on indefinite hiatus in 2012. Akita Shoten published the sixth volume in 2011. Viz Media licensed the manga, and released the sixth volume last November.
Go! Comi published Mizushiro's After School Nightmare manga, JManga published part of her Dousei Ai manga, and Tokyopop released her X-Day manga in 2003. She ended her Un chocolatier de l'amour perdu (Shitsuren Chocolatier) in December 2014. Shogakukan published the manga's ninth and final volume in February 2015. The series has more than 2.7 million copies in circulation.
