Arcane Studio Eyes Adaptation of Acclaimed Manga 'Vagabond'

Fortiche, the studio behind Netflix's Arcane, expresses interest in animating Takehiko Inoue's classic manga.

Fortiche co-founder Pascal Charrue revealed the studio's desire to adapt 'Vagabond' during an interview at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
'Vagabond' is a historical epic that fictionalizes the life of legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto, known for its depth and detailed artwork.
Despite its iconic status, 'Vagabond' has never been adapted into an anime due to concerns about doing justice to its intricate art and storytelling.
Fortiche's adaptation of 'Arcane' has been critically acclaimed, raising hopes for a successful 'Vagabond' anime.
The studio also draws inspiration from other manga works, including those by Naoki Urasawa.
