posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
This year's 28th issue of Kodansha's Morning magazine revealed on Thursday that Hiroto Ōishi will launch a new manga titled Akutoku no Rakuen (Immoral Paradise) in the magazine's next issue on June 19. The manga will have a color opening page.
The manga's story centers on Tatashi, a guy who is tricked by a part time job swindle at a certain Southeast Asian nation, and forcibly taken to the base of operations of a special scam organization and forced to work for them. In this "false paradise," if he succeeds, it's heaven, but if he fails, it's hell.
Ōishi previously drew Dorei-ku: Boku to 23-nin no Dorei, a manga adaptation of Shinichi Okada's Boku to 23-nin no Dorei novels. Ōishi launched the manga adaptation on the website Everystar in 2012 and Futabasha published the full series in 10 compiled book volumes. A live-action film adaptation starring Sayaka Akimoto and Kanata Hongō opened in Japan in June 2014. A television anime adaptation premiered in April 2018. HIDIVE streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired, and later streamed an English dub. Sentai Filmworks released the anime on Blu-ray Disc in 2019.
