The official website for the upcoming stage play adaptation of Fuse's isekai fantasy light novel series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime posted a key visual introducing its main cast members. Among them is Hana Ogi, a member of the idol group ME who is 19 years old and will play the role of Rimuru Tempest in his human form in the play!
His slime form will be depicted on stage in a number of ways, one of which will be performed by the street performer Fusen Taro, who will do a performance utilizing balloons. Another method in which his slime form will be represented on stage will be through the employment of puppets. It has also been established that Megumi Toyoguchi, who lent her voice to the character of Great Sage in the anime series, will provide her voice to the role of Great Sage in the play. The play itself sounds like it will be a creative piece of art to experience!
