Be careful what you wish for, because a new key visual has been revealed for the stage-play adaptation of The Laughing Salesman, a work that is based on the dark comedy / psychological manga by Fujiko A. Fujio about a mysterious, too-friendly vendor who offers troubled people their hearts' desires … for a price.
The key visual (below) features actor Ryuji Sato dressed in full costume and make-up as the titular character, Fukuzo Moguro.
Crunchyroll currently streams the 2017 anime adaptation of The Laughing Salesman and describes the story of the series as follows:
