“Ma???” “The otaku has become a nerdy” “Togou no Blood” is unexpectedly adapted into a stage play in the Reiwa era! Long-time fans were impressed… it was a trendy, super exciting♪
Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
The BL game “Togoinu no Blood,” which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, will be made into a stage play, and will be performed at Shinjuku FACE in August 2025. Fans were surprised by the announcement, and the event was a huge hit, ranking in the single digits on social media.
“Togainu no Chi” is a boy’s love game released in February 2005 as Nitrochiral’s debut work. This work made a shocking debut with a hard worldview that was not found in previous BL games, and a human love-hate drama that is depicted head-on. It was then ported to consumer games, mobile apps and smartphone apps, and sold over 200,000 copies in total. It is still supported by many fans.
The story takes place in Toshima, a town that has been taken over by the criminal organization Vischio, several years after the end of the war, and is decadent. There, the life-risking battle game “Igra,” which involves the organization’s throne, was being held. The protagonist Akira, who is condemned to be innocent, decides to join Igra as a replacement for being acquitted. He is then forced to defeat the king of Vischio (Il Re) and annihilate the organization.
Akira enters the lawless city and the human relationships surrounding him. Desire, fear, betrayal, and love… The story is about the intersection of various passions and truths that change Akira’s destiny.
The stage play, which has been decided, will be directed and written by Nakayashiki Norihito and Uchida Hiroki. And information about the cast members who will be active in 2.5-dimensional stage plays, including Takahashi Yuri, who plays the main character Akira, have been released. The performance was titled “The Blood of Toguinu” by the passionate vanish play. This BL game, an immortal masterpiece, will be adapted into a stage play in 2025, marking the 20th anniversary.
Social media was in a state of uproar at the surprising announcement. Fans say, “!?!?!?!? Toguinu’s Blood is set on stage in Reiwa…???” “Huh? Ma, Ma, Ma???” “A little bit Waiting for a while, isn’t it?!???’ and “No, a work from 20 years ago in the first place…?” Many people responded with unbelievable surprises.
It also ranked in the single-digit trends of X (formerly Twitter) for a long time, saying, “I thought Togoi’s blood was a stage play, but now it’s now on stage!???” “Wait, wait, see how many years of trends are now It’s going on…” There were also many happy and confusing comments. There were also posts that looked back on the time, such as, “At that time it sparked a huge movement…”, “I want to share it with myself back then,” and “This game made me become a nerd.”
In addition, the story of the original will diverge depending on the choices, but the stage plays a total of five routes. It is not yet clear which routes and how will be performed, and “There are route-specific developments too!?” “Any route is fine… wow, wow…” “All routes are the same as one route “I’ll definitely watch it!” There are already many fans who are excited. I look forward to future information.
This work was also made into an anime in 2010, and features a gorgeous voice actor who are still very popular, including Toriumi Kosuke, who plays Akira, Sugita Tomokazu, Midorikawa Mitsuru, Fukuyama Jun, and Konishi Katsuyuki. No major media mixes have been made since then, and it has been a long time since the film adaptation has been made into a stage play.
