Popular manga series, "Uramichi Oniisan," is scheduled to be turned into a stage play debuting in July. The widely beloved series, known for its unique blend of humor and poignant commentary on adult life, has accrued a broad audience both in Japan and globally. Details regarding the cast, production, and ticket sales are yet to be announced, but fans are eagerly awaiting updates.

Stage adaptations of manga and anime series are a common form of entertainment in Japan. "Uramichi Oniisan," in particular, garnered significant popularity for its unique depiction of an adult character dealing with the existential angst of life in a comedic setting - a concept that struck a chord with many young adults. The announcement of a stage play signifies its cultural significance and affirms its beloved status within the society.

In the US or EU, popular comic books or animated series often get adapted into high-budget movies or television series, reflecting a similar trend of popular media crossing over into different formats. However, stage adaptation is less common compared to Japan. Although Broadway shows may adapt popular narratives, the tradition of adapting manga into theater play is particular to Japan.
