◇Comment from Shinichiro Ota

The stage adaptation of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo - the times have finally caught up with "Bo-bobo." Those characters...those jokes...I never thought we'd see this work on stage!! I'm going to have a blast with the Bobobo gang!!! This fall, Japan will be engulfed in the "Holy Nose Hair Realm (Bobobo World)"...

◇Comment from Tatemichi Riona

I first encountered Bobobobo-bobo in my early elementary school years. Even at a young age, I was shocked by it, and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was a part of my youth, collecting the volumes. When I found out it was being adapted into a stage play, I was determined to go and see it, and I couldn't have been happier to be cast as Torpedo Girl. I can't contain my excitement at what the play will be like. I will do my best to become the strongest Torpedo Girl.
