An official website and Twitter account have been opened announcing that Daisuke Ashihara's World Trigger manga is getting a stage play adaptation.
A key visual, main cast and staff, and announcement PV have been released.
The stage play is set to run in Tokyo and Osaka from November to December 2021.
Norihito Nakayashiki is directing the play and writing the script. GIRA MUNDO is composing the music. Yumebō is credited for choreography. The stage production aims to realize the world of the World Trigger via a new form of "physical x live performance."
Viz Media publishes the manga in English and describes the first volume as:
Earth is under constant threat from Neighbors, invincible monsters from another dimension that destroy our way of life. At least we have the elite warriors of Border, who co-opt alien technology to fight back!
Our hero Osamu Mikumo may not be the best agent, but he’ll do whatever it takes to defend life on Earth as we know it.
When Osamu meets a feisty humanoid Neighbor named Yuma, everything that he thinks is right is turned on its head. Can the two natural enemies ever become friends?
