K Project franchise’s –K: Return of Kings– had concluded the
story in the anime’s epic finale last December 2015, or that’s what we’d been
assuming all this time. It seems that the story isn’t over yet as the "K - Do you know K?" event for the K
media project announced that there’s upcoming production for a new animation
project for the franchise. So, this means that we will finally have a glance of
"Kings" and their "Sword of Damocles" in the near future. The
format of the K Project new
animation wasn’t reveal yet, however it might be a prequel about the current
kings when the series debuted and how they became the chosen "Kings. "
- [Update as of August 28, 2019] K: Seven Stories Project Movie Review
Returning as the director and
character designer for K Seven Stories anime is Shingo Suzuki at studio GoHands.
The original story is once again credited to both GoRA and GoHands. More
details will be provided this fall. There are also plans to release a short
text story written by GoRA and an
illustration by Suzuki.
Aside from K Seven Stories anime
project, the franchise also inspired a new stage play run, and a dance
performance. The new stage play is titled K –Lost Small World– and it will run
on July 22 to July 24 at AiiA 2.5 Theater Tokyo. Then, it will move to Kyoto
Gekijou Theater on July 30-31. The stage play will adapt the K Project’s
spinoff novel written by Yukako Kabei and it will revolve
around the meeting and parting Misaki Yata from HOMRA and Saruhiko Fushimi from
SCEPTER 4. The stage play will be written and directed by Kenichi Suemitsu.
Portraying Misaki and Saruhiko are Keisuke Ueda and Shintarō
Anzai respectively.
Meanwhile, ChaLive (a wordplay on
"character" and "live") dance performance debuted on the
"K -Do you know K?" event. It features original music and the
performers ONDY as Yashiro Isana, Keito Okuyama as Misaki Yata, and Yuto
as Saruhiko Fushimi. The next performance will be on June 10 at the seventh
