Glass Mask's In-Story Stage Play Adapted in Real Life

posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
"Wasurerareta Kōya" play runs in December

A stage play adaptation of "Wasurerareta Kōya ~Ōkami Shōjo Jane~" (The Forgotten Wasteland ~Jane the Wolf Girl~) a play within the story of Suzue Miuchi's Glass Mask (Glass no Kamen) has been green-lit. The play will run for seven performances at the Namba Jiyū Gekijō Akaru Studio in Osaka from December 6 to 11. Yuka Hyōdō is directing the play, and Suzuki-P is penning the script. Yukine Iwamura will play Jane, and Ryōsei Tsukamoto will play Stewart.

The play is set in 1931, centering on the meeting between an English an anthropologist and Jane, a girl raised by wolves. Within the story of Glass Mask, protagonist Maya Kitajima plays the role of Jane in the play.

Miuchi launched the manga in 1975, and it inspired a 1984 television anime series and a 2005-2006 anime remake, as well two live-action television series. There was also a three-part video series that started in 1998. Miuchi acknowledged in 2009 that she would end the manga "soon." The 50th compiled volume of the manga was delayed indefinitely in 2013, and the 49th volume was released in 2012.

The Flash anime studio DLE produced the first Glass Mask film, Glass no Kamen Desu ga the Movie Onna Spy no Koi! Murasaki no Bara wa Kiken na Kaori!? (It's Glass Mask But… the Movie: Female Spy's Love! The Purple Rose Has a Dangerous Scent!?), as well as the parody television anime Glass no Kamen Desu ga (It's Glass Mask But) and The Glass Mask Year 3 Class D. The Glass Mask Year 3 Class D also inspired a theatrical anime on July 22.
