My Hero Academia will be getting an official live-action outing produced by Legendary in the future, but fans got their first taste of how well Kohei Horikoshi’s franchise would make the jump to live-action with a special stage play in Japan.

Running at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo from April 12-21 and the Sankei Hall Breeze in Osaka April 26-29 earlier this year, My Hero Academia: The “Ultra” Stage was directed by Tsuneyasu Motoyoshi, Hideyuki Nishimori wrote the script, Shunsuke Wada composed the music, and Umebo handled the choreography. The play became a major hit with fans for its live-action takes on the series’ costumes, and series creator Kohei Horikoshi himself even complimented how well it all came together.

My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he’s eventually scouted by the world’s best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015. My Hero Academia is gearing up for an even bigger end of 2019 with both a fourth season of the anime and second big anime film too.
