The first stage musical adaptation of Yuu Watase's Fushigi Yûgi manga has been green-lit. The first of two parts, entitled Fushigi Yûgi ~Ake no Sho~ (Fushigi Yûgi ~Vermilion Chapter~), will open in Tokyo's Owlspot theater on April 8, 2016, and will run until April 17 with a total of 15 performances.
