Kadokawa has announced that Yohko Tamotsu's Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin (Midnight Occult Civil Servants) manga is getting a stage play adaptation. The play is set to open from October 29 to November 7 at Shinjuku FACE Theater in Tokyo.
Satoshi Ogita is directing the play and Kaori Moriyama is writing the script.
Riki Tanimizu is cast as the protagonist Arata Miyako.
Arata is a young man who just started his adult life, becoming a public servant assigned to the Nocturnal Community Relations Division. He possessed the ability "Ears of Sand" which are said to have a great ability to master languages, and can understand the words of Another who should not be able to be understood.
He had heard from his deceased grandfather that the Miyako Clan is from the bloodline of Abe no Seimei, but he never really cared about it. However, a statement from his grandfather suggests that Abe's bloodline is clearer on their side. He now lives with his parents in Kagurazaka after his grandfather died. [Wiki]
Crunchyroll streams the anime and describes the story as:
When Miyako Arata joins the Shinjuku Ward Office, he thinks he's gotten a normal civil servant job. But it turns out he's joined the Night Community Exchange Department, one of which operates secretly in each of Tokyo's twenty-three ward offices. Their job is to resolve occult issues concerning non-human beings. Accompanied by his senpai and department head Sakaki Kyoichi and the occult obsessed Himetsuka Seo, they work night after night, facing off with beings whose existence defies the laws of our world.
