It was announced that Ya Boy Kongming! (Paripi Koumei) is coming to Netflix, but not in anime form. Instead, the live-action television drama that aired in Japan will be making its way to the streaming service on May 30.
This marks the first time that the live-action TV drama version will be made available outside of Japan. The anime version is available to stream on Hulu.
Ya Boy Kongming is described as follows:
The famous military strategist Zhuge Kongming met his demise in the Battle of Wuzhang Plains in 234. On his deathbed, he wishes that his next life would be in a peaceful place, free from bloodshed. He is reborn (in his youth) in modern Japan, appearing in the middle of a costume party for Halloween in the club district of Tokyo. The partygoers (in Japanese, “Paripi”, a contraction of the English ‘party people’) of Shibuya lure him to a nightclub, where he meets Eiko Tsukimi, an aspiring singer, and his second life begins.
