Gakuen Hakkenden Anime in Development

Japan’s Oricon entertainment news service reports that and anime adaptation of Ko Amami and Aki Kuruwa’s fantasy romance boys-love manga series Gakuen Hakkenden is in development. The production will be at least the third anime adaptation of Kyokutei Bakin’s 1814-1842 106 volume Nanso Satomi Hakkenden novel series following the 1990 Hakkenden OVA series and 1999’s Shin Hakkenden sci-fi TV series. The Gakuen Hakkenden manga premiered last April.

The franchise will also get two stage play adaptations, the first next month, and the second to be performed in December.
