The plot of "Undead Girl Murder Farce" revolves around the young Jack, better known in the story as "Jack the Ripper." After committing a sensational crime in London at the age of just 15, Jack now travels through imperial China. His goal? He seeks Moriarty in the hope of obtaining a powerful body that will enable his transformation into a monster.
Recently, the official website of the anime adaptation announced that Sōma Saitō will voice the role of Jack. This casting addition brings together a solid ensemble, including Tomoyo Kurosawa, Taku Yashiro, and Makoto Koichi, each of whom will leave their own mark on the story.
The anime adaptation is set to be released worldwide in July via the streaming platform Crunchyroll.
The origin of "Undead Girl Murder Farce" dates back to 2015, when Yugo Aosaki first published the novel series. Haruka Tomoyama took on the task of adapting Aosaki's story into a manga, which debuted in June 2016 in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine. Since then, it has appeared on various platforms, graced the pages of Nemesis magazine in June 2017, and landed on the Comic Days website in September 2018.
