Description
For the sooty industrial town’s lads there’s only one point of light: The Light Club, a secret brotherhood they’ve organized in an abandoned factory. They’re on the verge of booting up their crowning achievement, a “thinking machine” fueled by lychee fruits. At the same time, the middle schoolers’ cooties-fearing solidarity is devolving into a downright National Socialist muck of murderous paranoia, perverse aestheticism, and (not always) suppressed homosexuality.

Litchi Hikari Club is an adaptation of a theatrical play of the same name that was performed at the Tokyo Grand Guignol Theatre in 1985. For those who do not know, the original Grand Guignol was located in Paris, France, and became infamous for it's horror-themed performances that involved large amounts of violence and gore. It was later closed in 1962, due to World War II and the Holocaust making people realize that violence isn't exactly hilarious. (meemai)

A live-action film adaptation of the manga will open in Shinjuku Wald 9 and other theaters in Japan this winter, but it will first hold its world premiere at the 20th Busan International Film Festival, which will run from October 1 to October 10 in South Korea. Eisuke Naitō is directing the film and collaborating with Keisuke Tominaga on the script. The film will have an original story, though original manga creator Furuya stated, "I think the contents will not betray fans of the original work."
