Kakuji Fujita, the author of the manga Tokugawa no Ape, recently announced that he will be drawing the manga Eternal Wine ~from the 1700s~ based on Narita Ryogo's light novel Eternal Wine. The manga has begun serialization on the DMM Books website as a DMM Gigatoon Studio webtoon.

The comic is set in an 18th century Italian town called Lotto Valentino. The story will revolve around alchemy apprentice Huey Laforet, who becomes embroiled in a conspiracy by a masked serial killer known as "The Mask Maker" that terrorizes the town.
