It has been confirmed that Kumiko Saiki's Kageki Shoujo! manga will receive an anime adaptation in 2021. Although the anime's title is Kageki Shoujo!!, its story will be based on Kageki Shoujo!!.
Saiki had originally serialized the manga under the title Kageki Shoujo! (with one exclamation mark) in Shueisha's Jump Kai magazine from 2012 to 2014 and concluded the original series after the magazine was discontinued in October 2014. Saiki then launched the ongoing sequel manga under the title Kageki Shoujo!! in Melody in 2015.
About the story: As in the Takarazuka Revue, the young women attending the Kouka Kageki High School of Performing Arts play all roles in musical theater, whether female or male. Narada Ai is a washed-up former idol who plays female roles—her roommate, who plays male roles, is the lively country girl Watanabe Sarasa. From school to the stage and the rest of their lives, there is no challenge these young women cannot face with their passion for performance.
