K, also known as K Project, is an original television anime series by the studio GoHands, who also produced Seitokai Yakuindomo and the recent show Coppelion. The series launched in October 2012 and was helmed by director Shingo Suzuki. The series received modest reception for its plot, but it was praised for the fluidity of the visuals and art. The creator of the series, GoRa (who also helped with the series’ composition), also wrote the story of the many adaptations of K. To date, the series has two prequel manga, a side story manga, two light novels, and a film titled K Missing Kings.
The stage production for K will be out in August this year, held in Tokyo. More information about the production will be revealed in the upcoming months.
