The play also stars Yuho Matsui as Akutabe and Yuria Satō as Rinko Sakuma.
The play will run in Tokyo from February 10 to 26. Naru Kawamoto will direct and write the script. The Hitomiza Puppet Theater is overseeing the puppetry work and effects. The voice actors playing the demons will also control life-size puppets.
The humorous story revolves around detective Akutabe, his assistant Rinko Sakuma, and various magical demons (such as Azazel) that Akutabe uses for his cases.
The manga launched in Kodansha’s Evening magazine in 2007 and ended in December 2018. Kodansha has published 16 volumes for the manga.
The series was nominated for the 2nd Manga Taisho Awards in 2009.
The manga inspired an original anime video in 2010, a television anime series in 2011 and a second television anime season in 2013. Right Stuf released both seasons on DVD in 2015 and Crunchyroll later streamed both parts.
