posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The August issue of Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Miracle! magazine announced on Thursday that a stage play adaptation of Ayumu Kasuga's Jōkamachi no Dandelion (Castle Town Dandelion) manga has been green-lit. The play will debut at the "CBGK Shibugeki!!" theater in Shibuya, Tokyo in mid-August.
In the manga's story, the everyday lives of the nine super-powered siblings of the royal family are monitored by more than 200 surveillance cameras and broadcast nationwide. The people of the nation who are watching the broadcast will have the ability to elect the next monarch. The story focuses on Akane, the third-oldest sister who can manipulate gravity. She is shy and desperately does not want to be caught on camera.
Kasuga launched the manga in Manga Time Kirara Miracle! in 2012. Houbunsha published the manga's third compiled book volume last August. The manga's 12-episode television anime adaptation premiered last July. Funimation streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
