The Real-Life History Behind My Favorite New Shoujo Anime
Enter the bright lights of the Takarazuka Revue--new summer anime Kageki Shoujo follows a group of first-years entering a prestigious all-girls theatre academy based off the famous Japanese troupe with dreams of becoming a top star. An adaptation of the manga by Kumiko Saiki, it’s a grounded exploration of the Takarazuka Revue’s structure and cultural significance. As such, let’s take a look at the history of this theater style to set the stage for what you can expect to see in Kageki Shoujo!
