posted on by Karen Ressler
This year's February issue of Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine announced on Friday that Iqura Sugimoto's Nana Maru San Batsu (literally, "7 O 3 X" or "7 Right, 3 Wrong) will get a new stage play adaptation titled Nana Maru San Batsu The Quiz Stage Round 2 from May 3-8. Performances will be held at Tokyo's Mitsukoshi Theater.
The play's official website will announce the cast on January 15.
The first stage play adaptation, pictured right, ran at Zenrosai Hall Space Zero in Tokyo from May 4-9, 2018.
Crunchyroll describes the series:
Bunzou High School is welcoming its new first-year students. One of them, Koshiyama Shiki, is chosen to participate against his will in an impromptu fast-buzzing quiz meet by the president of the Quiz Bowl Circle. As a quiet boy who loves reading and doesn't want to stand out, Shiki is overwhelmed, but his classmate, Fukami Mari, is able to hit the buzzer and answer questions before the full question is given. As he watches her, Shiki realizes that there's a point in each question where the answer becomes certain.
Sugimoto launched the manga in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine in 2010, and Kadokawa published the 16th compiled book volume on October 4. The manga inspired a television anime adaptation and Crunchyroll streamed it under the title Fastest Finger First in July 2017.
