Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Takarazuka's otokoyaku (male-role players) are superstars who train for years to perfect masculine movement and vocal pitch—Sagiri was Snow Troupe's top star when this filmed.
Creator Nobuhiro Watsuki specifically approved this adaptation, calling the Revue's vision 'a new Kenshin born from female sensibility'—rare praise from a famously protective mangaka.
