MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) | comment |
MANKAI STAGE A3!, also known in Japan as エーステ (read as eesute, a combination of A3! and STAGE) is the theater adaptation of the mobile game A3!.Upon receiving a letter from her father's theater company, the Player Character (you, the audience) visits a theater with only one actor and a finds out that the theater company is declining and buried in a large debt. You then succeed you father as the new director of the MANKAI COMPANY, tasked to bring the troupe back to its former glory and paying the debt to the Yakuza. The lives of twenty (later twenty-four) men are entangled in the process.The stage play adaptation is unique in the sense that it's a stage play about stage actors and staff preparing for a stage play. One of the charms of A3! perfectly captured by the stage play adaptation is the gekichuugeki (Japanese: 劇中劇, lit. play within a play), which refers to the in-universe stage productions that the fictional MANKAI COMPANY present to their audience.All stage plays prior to the ACT 2 series (except for the lives) each adapt two stories from the game: | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite their rocky relationship (and Misumi believing that Madoka hates him), Madoka helps the Summer Troupe with the treasure hunt upon learning it was for Misumi, and watches Captain Sky Pirates. | |

Non-Indicative Title: The plays prior to the Troupe LIVE shows are referred to as "ACT 1". In reality, only SPRING & SUMMER 2018 and AUTUMN & WINTER 2019 adapt the game's Part 1 story; the individual troupe productions are based off event stories that were released in between Part 1 and Part 2. | |

Masumi, who at the start is Spring Troupe's best actor. He is a fast-learner, but needs practice. And then there's Banri, who doesn't need practice. But because he's an Instant Expert, he's highly unmotivated to do things, which limits his growth and leads him to become a rebellious teenager. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Compared to the previous troupes, whose main stories revolved around the characters' struggles with acting, Winter Troupe's conflict in AUTUMN & WINTER 2018 arises more from their personal hangups. Due to everyone being adults with overall Darker and Edgier Dark and Troubled Past, most of them respect each other's boundaries and try to not pry too much. It causes most of their more personal conflicts harder to be resolved. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Tenma, whose Water Me! costume featured a Cleavage Window and went shirtless for Captain Sky Pirates. In fact, the Summer Troupe's cheer is them placing their hands on Tenma's chest to give him strength. Banri wears the same Ali Baba costume for Four Seasons LIVE 2020. Kazunari's costume for Water Me! only had a cropped vest for a top, and nothing underneath. Citron keeps the same costume for Four Seasons LIVE 2020. | |

The Cameo: In the final performance of SPRING 2022, Kitazono Ryo (Tasuku)'s singing voice can be heard singing along with the other Winter Troupe members. He is the only member of the troupe not present for the entirety of the show's run. Fujita Ray (Sakyo) doesn't appear in SUMMER 2022, but his voice did - arguing with Azami upon entering MANKAI COMPANY. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The Winter Troupe's general conflict that spans the whole series is their unwillingness to open up to each other, being "mature adults" who know their personal boundaries. As of SPRING 2022, however, Hisoka says that while he's okay with the distance that they have as fellow members, he wants them to learn all about his past once the right time comes. The latter half of AUTUMN 2020 has the other 4 members of the Autumn Troupe pitted against Sakyo - because Sakyo (and Sakoda) is hiding his personal matters and the 4 are afraid to ask him about it, even though they attempted to many times. Sakyo and Azami's conflict in AUTUMN 2022. They promised to fulfill their secret dreams in the past (being a makeup artist and theater actor, respectively). Azami felt betrayed when Sakyo pursued acting without even telling him and thought Sakyo cared very little about him. | |

Childhood Friends: Tsumugi and Tasuku. Tsumugi giving up on acting put their friendship to an end until Tasuku joined the MANKAI COMPANY, where they had a chance to fix it. Sakyo and the director hung out in the past when Sakyo was still hanging out with the MANKAI COMPANY. The director doesn't remember, while Sakyo only recognizes her after she's introduced as Tachibana Yukio's daughter. In SPRING 2019, there's Tsuzuru and Mizuno. Also Taichi and his neighbor who was his First Love, none other than Yuki. Even though the both of them don't recognize each other. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: In SPRING 2022, Masumi's parents divorced, with his father having custody and not wanting Masumi to be alone, he had asked for Masumi to come to America with him. While well-meaning, his Parental Neglect on Masumi means that he didn't know about Masumi joining MANKAI COMPANY, so his son isn't as lonely as he used to feel and actually has another place to call home. Azami's father does not think Azami is seriously pursuing makeup as a career choice and destroys his makeup kits. Unbeknownst to him, Azami's dream started when his sickly mother would enjoy putting makeup on herself whenever Azami's father was to visit her. | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_20b5cce7 | comment |
"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Each play's opening and ending songs are sung by the actors featured in said play, including supporting characters (like Matsukawa). Troupe-exclusive versions were released in each play's original soundtrack and each troupe's mini album. It's worth noting that each theme song differs in lyrics (and for "Brand new world", there's a different arrangement) per play/troupe. SPRING & SUMMER 2018 and AUTUMN & WINTER 2019 have "MANKAI STAGE" (opening song) and "The Show Must Go On" (ending song). The ACT 1 stage play series has "Brand new world" (opening song) and "blooming smile" (closing song). Four Seasons LIVE 2020 features Four Seasons versions of "MANKAI STAGE", "The Show Must Go On", "Brand new world", and "blooming smile", which are essentially mixed versions of each troupe's versions of the original songs. The Troupe LIVE stages also have an introduction song per troupe at the start of the performance. The final performance of SPRING & SUMMER 2018 features MANKAI STAGE's version of "MANKAI☆Kaika Sengen", the game's theme song for Main Story Part 1. Each troupe released their own versions in their mini albums, and performed live after the introduction song during the Troupe LIVE stages. The ACT 2 stage play series has "ANSWERS" (opening song) and "24 flowers" (closing song). | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_21cf9301 | comment |
Family of Choice: The MANKAI COMPANY becomes this as time goes on, and this is outright acknowledged by several characters, especially the Spring Troupe. SPRING & SUMMER 2018 has Sakuya, being an orphan who moved from family to family, finally finding a place to stay and people who care for him as much as he cares for them. He discusses this with Chikage in SPRING 2022. AUTUMN & WINTER 2019 and WINTER 2020/2021 has Azuma, who finds home in MANKAI after being alone all the years since his family's death. SUMMER 2019 has Misumi, after leaving home, finds the three important things in his life: triangles, acting, and friends, all in the MANKAI COMPANY. SPRING 2022 has Masumi choosing to stay with the MANKAI COMPANY despite his father's insistence that blood relation should be more important than his bonds with the company. His father does come to understand that Masumi wants to stay in the troupe and wholeheartedly supports his decision. Also for Chikage and Hisoka, who acknowledge that they now have a family besides each other. | |

The Unopening Door Mystery, which was mentioned in the game involving Azuma and Hisoka, doesn't appear in the stage play, but is mentioned in SPRING 2022 as a cover-up reason to explain the director and Chikage's disappearance. | |

Adaptation Deviation: The MANKAI Company's dorm for MANKAI MOVIE has everyone's rooms inside of the house, as opposed to the game where the rooms are arranged in corridors around the backyard garden. In Omi's portrait in MANKAI MOVIE「A3!」~AUTUMN & WINTER~, Omi mentions it was Nachi who told the former about his dream, as opposed to the game and stage play where Nachi kept it a secret and his parents were the ones who told Omi. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Verbal Tic: Itaru speaks in gamer slang, such as "kitakore" and "otsuotsu". Citron, while not as often as Itaru, also tends to use the same slang. Kazunari speaks in internet and milennial slang. Taichi adds "-ssu" to the end of his sentences and verbs. Tsuzuru also does this, though it's not as evident. Adventure for the Niboshi has the characters talk with the ending "~nya" and have these mixed with regular words. | |

Funny Background Event | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: Happens a whole lot, since the characters for a scene can actually be seen on stage while others have their own conversations. An example of this would be ex-gang leader Omi coming after Banri, Juza, and Sakyo to intimidate Reni into fulfilling their part of the deal in paying back the debt, only to be stopped by Taichi. | |

Past Experience Nightmare: Azuma often has nightmares about his Dark and Troubled Past. Azuma was the only that did not attend a trip which resulted in an accident that killed his parents and brother. He has a recurring nightmare in which his family always leaves him alone at the end. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Itaru, who zigzags between living up to the Princely Young Man image he projects and being among the ruder members of the MANKAI COMPANY. Chikage, who is generally friendly towards everyone but is outright ruthless towards the director and Hisoka. Both are co-workers and part of the Spring Troupe. | |

Something that wasn't given emphasis during SPRING 2022 was that Masumi and Tsumugi were both raised by their grandmothers, so during SPRING 2022 it's significant that it's Tsumugi who goes to Masumi's grandmother to help convince Masumi to stay in Japan. | |

Hidden Depths | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Sure, Tenma's a Fiery Redhead who clashes with his members often. However, he also has his mature moments and is a good listener. He is even the one who physically restrains Banri during his fight with Juza in AUTUMN 2020. Shrinking Violet Muku used to be the star of the school's track team, until a Career Breaking Injury led him to quitting before the start of the story. Kazunari is very energetic, friendly, and talks a lot, but only has superficial relationships with people because of his outgoing personality. Despite this, though, he's a genuinely genial person who rarely takes things personally and always seeks to help out his friends. Despite Misumi's Cloudcuckoolander tendencies, he's an amazing actor. His grandfather raised him and taught him how to act after seeing a young Misumi be enamored by theater. Sakyo is a very family-oriented man who loves his mother and wants to let her, his stepfather, and younger stepsister live comfortable lives. It's for this reason that he chooses not to visit home, since he doesn't want them to be associated with the Yakuza. Tsumugi is a calm Nice Guy who looks after the other members regardless of age, with looks and acting skills in his belt, not to mention is smart enough to be a Private Tutor... but he is Hopeless with Tech. For example, in Troupe LIVE~SPRING 2021~, he doesn't know how to record from the front or back cam, and can't zoom the camera in or out. Him writing a short blog post about the Winter Troupe's play took 17 minutes, while other members just did it in 2-3 minutes. Hisoka is cynical and wary of people since he was a kid, which may have something to do with growing up on the cold streets as a beggar. In WINTER 2020/2021, he picked up Homare's broken pocket watch but because he was afraid of being accused of stealing and even breaking it. Despite his noisy and Large Ham nature, Homare often keeps his struggles to himself and tends to go off alone to resolve them, especially if they are dire. The Gadfly Azuma actually Hates Being Alone and is The Stoic, struggling to express intense emotion. Even Sakoda, who is usually there to be Sakyo's boisterous underling. Upon noticing a depressed Taichi, who didn't receive any fan letters from women, he took it upon himself to write a fan letter that looked like it was written by a cute, young girl. Even Sakyo didn't know that it was done by Sakoda. He's also the one who strongly convinced Azami's father to let him continue with makeup and theater. | |

The Baby of the Bunch | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_2e77c628 | comment |
The Baby of the Bunch: Summer Troupe's members are younger than the other troupes', with the group having an average age of 16 and having two middle-schoolers in the roster. In real life, though, they're the second-oldest troupe in terms of average age (28); the youngest troupe would be the Spring Troupe (24). Summer Troupe has Noguchi Jun (Muku), who is 7 years younger than the next one in the age order, Honda Reo (Misumi). With the addition of Usa Takuma (Madoka), Jun is the second youngest member in the whole MANKAI COMPANY. Shin Masatoshi (Kumon), who joined the troupe for SUMMER 2022 is the same age as him. In ACT 2, 14-year old Azami becomes this to the rest of Autumn Troupe; the second-youngest member of the group is Taichi, who is in his last year of high school. The same applies to their actors; Yoshitaka Sion (23) replaces Akazawa Ryotaro (25) as the youngest member of the Autumn Troupe in AUTUMN 2022. | |

Gender Flip: As with the plays in the game, the plays within a play of Spring Troupe also swap the gender of the main characters of a few of their in-universe adaptations: Romeo and Julius has Juliet become Julius, telling a story of the title characters' journey to becoming Heterosexual Life-Partners instead of the tragedy of the original work. Alice as a Boy has Alice become Alex, which is essentially Alice in Wonderland except that Alice is a brooding boy. The Wonderful Charlatan of Oz features the four witches from The Wizard of Oz becoming wizards. | |

Flower Motifs: The theme of actors blooming carries over from the game to the stage play, so flower motifs are everywhere from naming to costumes to song titles and lyrics. The title of the stage play in itself contains the word "MANKAI" (and is written as this as opposed to in kanji), which means "full bloom". The characters retain their individual flower motifs from the game. | |

SPRING 2022 reveals that his code name is December, and the two people important to him were August, who died in a mission protecting him, and April, who later joined the MANKAI COMPANY as Utsuki Chikage. | |

Love Hurts | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_424d15ad | comment |
Love Hurts: Homare's former lover called him a "cyborg" after a misunderstanding, and it left him with a low opinion of love. He cared for her and understood he hurt her, but could not change the way he was. Prior to joining the Winter Troupe, Homare believed himself to be incapable of loving and being loved because of his lack of compassionate empathy. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_434d893c | comment |
Funny Foreigner: Citron, who's mostly in charge of comic relief both when he is a main and a supporting character. In one of the bonus videos for SPRING 2019, the Spring Troupe cast play a game in which they have to guess the correct word/phrase that Furuya Yamato (Citron) jumbled up. The members found it funny that they suggested playing it backstage (off-camera) as well. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_471b2ede | comment |
Obviously Not Fine: Homare does this a lot in WINTER 2020/2021. He was clearly pained when Azuma first found his pocket watch amid the cardboard boxes, but smiled through it to explain the story behind it. Then he quietly, sadly looked at the watch until Tsumugi called him, at which he immediately responded with a happy face and cheerfully ushered everyone to carry the boxes away. When his pocket watch went missing and decided to give up on looking for it, he declared stopping the search and then cheerfully acted as if everything was fine. Although others questioned him, he insisted that he was fine before leaving. No one seemed convinced. | |

Significant Double Casting: Nakamura Taro plays both Hyodo Juza and Nachi (though unvoiced), to further drive in the similarities that Omi sees in the both of them. In all adaptations of Le Roman Picaresque, Tauchi Tokihiro, who plays Sakoda, also plays the role of Capone's underling. | |

Broken Ace | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_48ca7c29 | comment |
Broken Ace: Compared to the previous troupes, whose main stories revolved around the characters' struggles with acting, Winter Troupe's conflict in AUTUMN & WINTER 2018 arises more from their personal hangups. Due to everyone being adults with overall Darker and Edgier Dark and Troubled Past, most of them respect each other's boundaries and try to not pry too much. It causes most of their more personal conflicts harder to be resolved. Kumon is actually very skilled at sports. But because he gets really tense and this evolves into fevers, he doesn't have any opportunities to show this and it lowers his self-esteem. | |

Be Yourself | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_4ae72307 | comment |
Be Yourself: The crux of Tsumugi's Character Development in AUTUMN & WINTER 2018 is tied to his self-esteem which is marred by his constant self-comparisons to Tasuku. Tsumugi once was confident in his own skills as an actor, but after a harsh rejection by Reni, Tsumugi gauged his lack of success by harmful comparisons with Tasuku's career. Tsumugi envied Tasuku's strong stage presence, but only learns to carry on his own strength after his failed attempt at mimicking Tasuku's acting style and Tasuku's admittance that he always envied Tsumugi's subtle style. | |

The Seven Mysteries | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_5f6b941c | comment |
The Seven Mysteries: Of the four that have been revealed, only three have actually happened. A mysterious voice can be heard from room 203 of the MANKAI dorms when no one's in it. It turns out Misumi has been living in room 203 for weeks. The Torment Doll is said to appear before two people who fell out and subjects them to eternal torment until they fix their relationship. Tsumugi finds the doll, and Tsumugi, Tasuku, and Misumi are trapped in a time-loop until Tsumugi and Tasuku reconcile. The Loupe of Sincerity allows the user to see exactly what others are thinking. Homare finds the Loupe and uses it to patch things up with the troupe after his mistake. The Unopening Door is a... door that won't open. While it appears in-game, it doesn't get to the adaptations. Until the director covers up Chikage's kidnapping of her by saying they got trapped in the room with the Unopening Door. | |

Homoerotic Subtext: A lot. Tsumugi and Tasuku's Heterosexual Life-Partners relationship continues well on in the stage. The leaders get their own solo songs where they sing about their relationship with their other troupe members. Banri? Sings about how Juza is his muse. | |

Men Don't Cry | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_62663d88 | comment |
Men Don't Cry: Averted, as many of the members are shown to cry, not just on stage but with regards to their personal issues. In AUTUMN 2020, Omi cries after finding out Nachi's parents watched STRANGER ON THE WAY TO PARADISE and left him a letter saying they're proud of him. In WINTER 2020/2021's Nocturnality, Kota sobs into Reo's jacket after the latter leaves in the end of the story. In SPRING 2022, Masumi cries as he laments being separated from the MANKAI COMPANY. Hisoka cries upon remembering his past and confronting Chikage. Chikage cries when opening up to Sakuya about his problems. | |

Autumn Troupe has "Spiral Emotion". Winter Troupe has "Angel Snow". The image songs for the games also carry over to the stage play: Spring Troupe has "Spring has come!". Summer Troupe has "Oresama☆Natsu Summer". Autumn Troupe has "oneXone". Winter Troupe has "to bloom…". | |

Lack of Empathy: Homare's trouble with empathy is never portrayed in a negative light, but it is presented as a hurdle in his interpersonal relationships that he has to recognize and confront. More importantly, he has to realize that even with his difficulties, he's a person who's fully deserving of love. | |

Mean Character, Nice Actor | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_687c8839 | comment |
Mean Character, Nice Actor: Omi is cast as the villain in Le Roman Picaresque and Like a lead Bullet, and as an Anti-Hero in STRANGER ON THE WAY TO PARADISE. Homare as Dewey, the villain in Le Roman Picaresque, is far more malicious than Omi's, being more physical when threatening Lansky. He also enjoys waving his gun around and points it at his own head at one point, all while smiling gleefully. Tsumugi's roles in WINTER 2020/2021. Keiichi from Butler and the Silver Spoon is a self-serving playboy, who even the actors themselves want to hit, and Ryohei from Nocturnality is the villain and even threatens to kill Kota if he insists on defending Reo. | |

Big Brother Instinct: Omi and Tsumugi tend to look after the younger members of the troupe. Omi even tried to cover for Taichi when it was revealed that he was a spy from GOD Troupe. Juza takes care of his younger cousin Muku, and by extension, the Summer Troupe, exemplified in SUMMER 2019. His younger brother Kumon gets added to the cast in SUMMER 2022. Sakyo reveals that he looked after Azami like a sibling during their latter years. Azami doesn't share the sentiment: because he viewed Sakyo more as a father figure. | |

It reached the point where it looked like a second Sakoda appeared in the company. Kumon to Juza, big time. His initial wish was to join the Autumn Troupe in hopes of being with Juza, and his introduction song even features him wearing Juza's costumes from his previous roles. | |

Adaptation Title Change: MANKAI STAGE came out first in 2018 before the game's official release in English in 2019, and there are some differences between the English titles of the plays within a play even after the game's release. Le Roman Picaresque (MANKAI STAGE) vs. The Roman Episode (English game) Alice as a Boy (MANKAI STAGE) vs. Alex in Wonderland (English game) The Clockwork Heartbeat (MANKAI STAGE) vs A Clockwork Heart (English game) Adventure for the Niboshi (MANKAI STAGE) vs The Great Sardine Search (English game) STRANGER ON THE WAY TO PARADISE (MANKAI STAGE) vs The Stranger (English game) Like a lead Bullet (MANKAI STAGE) vs Ginji the Wanderer (English game) Butler and the Silver Spoon (MANKAI STAGE) vs My Master's Mesmerized by Mystery (English game) | |

Adaptational Badass | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Almost everywhere, as this is the live version of a game with a story in visual novel format. Exaggerated in Autumn Troupe plays within a play. Since their genre is action, fight scenes take up a large chunk of the runtime. But even more so in Like a lead Bullet, where Ginji fights alone and sheds blood. Apparently, that was an idea from the actor himself. Besides the titular characters' swordfight in Romeo and Julius, the play also features fight scenes between Mercutio and Tybalt. Many of the actors are skilled in aerial movements. The fighting scene in The Clockwork Heartbeat features S doing flying kicks. Captain Sky Pirates features Henry dodging Paul's attacks by jumping. In the game version of Butler and the Silver Spoon, Sagishima merely helps Shiki solve a murder mystery. In the stage play, Sagishima wrestles a knife out of Keiichi's hand and incapacitates him. In the game version of Nocturnality, Ryohei simply flees after dodging Franz's knife. In the stage play, Ryohei wields a rapier and fights Franz, who dual wields daggers. Ryohei puts up a serious fight before fleeing. While Yokota hitting Mogi in the head with a glass ashtray was present in the AUTUMN 2020 version of Like a lead Bullet, when the same scene is depicted in Troupe LIVE~AUTUMN 2021~, the screen shows a large blot of blood. | |

Arc Words: As with the main series, "The Show Must Go On!", but this time it has a theme song and its own choreography. Each troupe also has their own arc words that continue to be relevant in later performances. Spring has "family" and "being themselves" (that is, how to present a Spring Troupe that is like the Spring Troupe). Summer has much emphasis on facing and solving problems alongside "friends/companions". Autumn Troupe has "regrets", with their portraits being continuously referenced. Winter Troupe has "distance", referring to their relatively distant relationship with each other as compared to other troupes. | |

Small Role, Big Impact | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_805deb6e | comment |
Small Role, Big Impact: From SPRING 2019, Mizuno Kaya, Tsuzuru's estranged childhood friend, is the one who brings Tsuzuru out of his writer's block in the latter half of SPRING 2019. From AUTUMN 2020, meeting Shinjo Ryo again helps Omi move a step forward in accepting his past, which in turn helps him bring his role in STRANGER ON THE WAY TO PARADISE to life. From SPRING 2022, Masumi's father, Usui Misaki. Trying to take Masumi with him to America furthers the notion that the MANKAI COMPANY is a big, important family, which leads to Chikage trying to destroy the company after knowing how much this meant to Hisoka. AUTUMN 2022 has Azami's father, who was the reason Azami ran away from home. Azami later notes that if he hadn't ran away, he wouldn't have met and joined the MANKAI Company, and later resolve his conflicts with his father and Sakyo. | |

Commonality Connection: AUTUMN & WINTER 2019 has Itaru and Banri quickly bond over their shared love of video games and being Otaku. Something that wasn't given emphasis during SPRING 2022 was that Masumi and Tsumugi were both raised by their grandmothers, so during SPRING 2022 it's significant that it's Tsumugi who goes to Masumi's grandmother to help convince Masumi to stay in Japan. | |

He quickly realizes that Hisoka was never at fault, and that his own actions were what destroyed his relationship with Hisoka, the only family he had left. | |

One Degree of Separation: Sakuya, Masumi and Banri go to Hanasaki Academy, which explains how Sakuya knew Masumi once they entered the company. Juza, Tenma, and Taichi go to Ouka High School. During the Autumn Troupe audition, Tenma notes that Taichi is familiar, which Taichi attributes to being from the same school. But they actually met in a shoot, which Tenma doesn't remember clearly. Taichi is also frightened upon recognizing Juza as the top delinquent of his high school. Muku and Yuki go to St. Flora Middle School, where at first, Yuki doesn't want Muku associating with him, but over the course of the first play, they become close friends. Tsuzuru and Omi attend Yosei University, and Tsuzuru is acquaintances with Kazunari who is from Veludo Arts University. Juza and Muku are cousins, with Muku being the reason why he auditioned for MANKAI. Later on, Juza's younger brother Kumon joins the Summer Troupe. AUTUMN 2022 reveals Banri goes to the same university as Kazunari, and Juza goes to the same university as Omi and Tsuzuru. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: Except Four Seasons LIVE 2020, each play/live stage revolves around one (or two in the case of the first two stage plays) troupe. And in extension, this focuses on a character in said troupe that is playing the lead role in the play within a play. The first two stages SPRING & SUMMER 2018 and 'AUTUMN & WINTER 2019'' feature all of the new troupe members and their specific background/personalities, though there's emphasis on leaders, such as Tenma and Banri whose attitudes lead to problems within their troupes. SPRING 2019 for Masumi wanting to become an adult and Tsuzuru having writer's block and remembering a childhood friend. SUMMER 2019 for Yuki having artist's block and learning to accept help from others and Misumi and his relationship with his grandfather and younger brother. AUTUMN 2019 for Omi getting on terms with his past as a member of the Wolves and Sakyo feeling the gap between him and the other members of the Autumn Troupe, as well as taking care of his own family problems. WINTER 2020/2021 for Homare and his inability to understand emotions and Azuma who is afraid of loneliness as he is still shaken up by his family situation. Troupe LIVE~SPRING 2021~ for Masumi not wanting a new member for the Spring Troupe because he feels like the Director will throw him away for someone fresh and new. Troupe LIVE~SUMMER 2021~ for Tenma not experiencing a normal high school life, and how the Summer Troupe wants him have good experiences despite it. Troupe LIVE~AUTUMN 2021~ for Taichi receiving a fan letter and letting it get into his head. Troupe LIVE~WINTER 2022~ for Homare, who, in the absence of Tsumugi and Tasuku, tries to improve the Winter Troupe's relationship with Yuzo based on social conventions that he's heard of. SPRING 2022 for Chikage who joins the troupe as a new member, and Hisoka, who is the reason why Chikage joined in the first place. The two of them, along with Masumi, find their family with the MANKAI COMPANY. SUMMER 2022 has Kumon, who faces his fears as the new member of the Summer Troupe. Tenma gets to act in a popular director's movie alongside his father, which is one of his goals. This, in turn, causes Kazunari starts seriously worrying about what he wants to be in the future. AUTUMN 2022 for Azami forming a relationship with the members of the Autumn Troupe and mending his relationship with Sakyo. | |

Hates Being Alone: Azuma's family died in an accident when he was young, which is what prompted him to take a counselor-like job so he won't feel alone. He experienced discomfort and nightmares upon joining MANKAI COMPANY, as the only member of the Winter Troupe with a single room. But after being reassured that he has the Winter Troupe and the MANKAI COMPANY that will never leave him, he comes to stay in the company. He finds the company's boisterous nature endearing, as it assures him that there is someone by his side. | |

The Show Must Go On | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_a10d8339 | comment |
The Show Must Go On: A recurring theme in the series proper is how the show must go on even through unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances. In the debut plays, for example, there were Itaru's injury, Tenma's stage fright, the Autumn Troupe's costumes, and the bet with GOD Troupe to deal with. Also happens in real life with the MANKAI STAGE itself, being a stage play. Despite Tsuzuru wearing the wrong costume or Misumi bringing out onigiri in an early scene, the production still goes on. Of course, the show doesn't go on when the actors have injuries. | |

Big Little Brother: Nakamura Taro, the actor for Juza, is one of the youngest members of the Autumn Troupe (same age as the above mentioned Akazawa Ryotaro), yet he is only around 2cm shorter than the tallest member Inagaki Seiya (who plays Omi). The youngest member Yoshitaka Sion, while not the tallest, is taller than half the troupe and most of the MANKAI COMPANY. Tanaka Ryosei, the actor for Homare (who is the oldest member of the Winter Troupe), is the youngest and tallest of the Winter Troupe actors, and second-tallest in the whole MANKAI COMPANY. Inversely, Ueda Keisuke, the actor for Hisoka, is second oldest in the Winter Troupe yet the shortest in the whole MANKAI COMPANY. | |

In SPRING 2022, Masumi's parents divorced, with his father having custody and not wanting Masumi to be alone, he had asked for Masumi to come to America with him. While well-meaning, his Parental Neglect on Masumi means that he didn't know about Masumi joining MANKAI COMPANY, so his son isn't as lonely as he used to feel and actually has another place to call home. | |

Rule of Three | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_a6cda066 | comment |
Rule of Three: As with the game, Act! Addict! Actors! is three words, and A3! itself has the number 3 in it. MANKAI STAGE A3! also has three words. Misumi, who loves triangles. It's revealed in SUMMER 2019 that his grandfather told him that life's greatest treasures would come in a set of three. For Misumi, his special triangle is drawn with: his friends, acting, and triangles. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_a806691d | comment |
Casanova Wannabe: Downplayed. Taichi joined MANKAI COMPANY because he wants to be popular with girls. Even after The Reveal that he is a spy, it's still his primary motivation for acting. But he is never disrespectful and pushy. This is brought up again in Troupe LIVE~AUTUMN 2021~, where he is dismayed at attracting a male fanbase (thanks to his role as Zero) and wants to gain female fans. | |

Adaptational Jerkass | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: In the Four Seasons LIVE 2020 version of Le Roman Picaresque, Capone kicks Dewey in the face, compared to the original AUTUMN & WINTER 2019 version where Capone just hits Dewey with his cane. And then in Troupe LIVE~AUTUMN 2021~, Capone uses Dewey's head as a golf ball. In the Troupe LIVE~AUTUMN 2021~ version of STRANGER ON THE WAY TO PARADISE, when Jon is defeated by Wolf, he is sent flying towards Dom. The mad scientist doesn't even spare him a glance as he is physically swatted away. Which goes to show how Dom only cares about furthering his goals, seeing as he treated Jon gently when he was looking for Zero. | |

"Groundhog Day" Loop: In AUTUMN & WINTER, the Torment Doll caused Tsumugi and Tasuku constantly to rewind the 12th, the day before the decision whether they accept Reni's challenge or not. For some reason, Misumi was also looping alongside them, so he pleads them to reconcile so that the loop would be over. | |

The Ace | |

The Ace: Masumi, who at the start is Spring Troupe's best actor. He is a fast-learner, but needs practice. And then there's Banri, who doesn't need practice. But because he's an Instant Expert, he's highly unmotivated to do things, which limits his growth and leads him to become a rebellious teenager. Tsumugi and Tasuku. Because the Winter Troupe has two members with years of stage experience and its members overall consist entirely of mature adults, they are able to work out the kinks in their acting much faster than the other groups. | |

Tsumugi is a calm Nice Guy who looks after the other members regardless of age, with looks and acting skills in his belt, not to mention is smart enough to be a Private Tutor... but he is Hopeless with Tech. For example, in Troupe LIVE~SPRING 2021~, he doesn't know how to record from the front or back cam, and can't zoom the camera in or out. Him writing a short blog post about the Winter Troupe's play took 17 minutes, while other members just did it in 2-3 minutes. | |

Despite Misumi's Cloudcuckoolander tendencies, he's an amazing actor. His grandfather raised him and taught him how to act after seeing a young Misumi be enamored by theater. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_cb83d23b | comment |
I Just Want to Be Special: Juza wants to be more than just a delinquent. He wants to change himself and the stigma of the Face of a Thug image that follows him. Taichi wants to be more popular and noticed by others. Reni exploits this by promising to add him to the main cast of GOD Troupe's next play if he successfully sabotages MANKAI COMPANY's next play. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Tasuku and Homare. Although they bicker a lot, Tasuku still fixes Homare's beloved pocket watch, even if Tasuku initially claimed he couldn't do it. Also Hisoka and Homare. Hisoka is often frustrated at how loud Homare is, and here are times when he wakes up just to insult Homare which leads Homare to be exasperated. But it was Hisoka who asked Tasuku to fix the aforementioned pocket watch, because even though Homare claimed it wasn't important to him, Hisoka felt that it was something he treasured. | |

This is mentioned in their duet song "3-3 Party Night". Juza's name contains the number 10, and Kumon's name contains the number 9. Muku calls Kumon "Kyu-chan", which is another way of reading the character for 9. | |

Everyone calls Sakoda by his last name, and he does too, with the exception of Sakoda (aniki) and Azami (first name with each other). Notably, he calls Omi something around the lines of "Master Fushimi". Mizuno Kaya is always referred with his last name Mizuno, even by his Childhood Friend Tsuzuru. | |

Then he wandered and was found sleeping in front of MANKAI dorm. Before he joined the organization, he was always struggling to survive on his own. This includes him fighting against the cold weather and feeling his body going numb from the cold. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_e82e4d4 | comment |
Designated Parents: The Spring Troupe sticks with Itaru as the father and Citron as the mother, based on their small skit to convince Itaru into staying with the MANKAI COMPANY. The Autumn Troupe has Team Mom Omi and Team Dad Sakyo, with both of them also extending the role towards the whole MANKAI COMPANY. There's Omi cooking for and taking care of the members and Sakyo managing the company and its finances). In AUTUMN 2022, everyone notices that Azami is cordial with everyone but only lashes out at the two of them. Omi and Sakyo lament about how he's in his rebellious phase. Azami later admits he views Sakyo as a father figure and feels like Omi is a mother because of his caring tendencies. The Winter Troupe has Team Mom Tsumugi and Team Dad Tasuku, with Tsumugi taking a gentler approach towards his handling of Hisoka and Homare. | |

Homare, who has a self-stated inability to understand the minds of others. His penchant to be Innocently Insensitive, his isolation from society due to said inability, and eccentric nature imply that he may be somewhere on the autism spectrum. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_eee69e44 | comment |
Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Tsuzuru (tsukkomi) and Citron (''boke). It's their daily routine. In stages that don't have Citron, usually another character (such as Misumi) will imitate him to respond to Tsuzuru. SPRING 2019 has the "MANMAN Grand Prix", a competition within the MANKAI COMPANY for the best manzai act. Participants include Tsuzuru and Citron, Sakyo and Banri, and Itaru and Masumi. WINTER 2020 has Citron and Kazunari. It also introduces the Tsuzuru standee, to which Citron converses with using pre-recorded Tsuzuru voice lines that vary from normal phrases such as "I also think that'd be good" to script lines like "Then you'll have no choice but to leave Verona!" Four Seasons Live has Matsukawa, Sakoda, and Ryo. | |

Heroic Self-Deprecation: Juza and especially Muku have this as a habit, which the other guys at MANKAI COMPANY always respond to by noting that no one thinks of them as the bad and weird things they call themselves as. There's Tsumugi, who quit acting after getting rejected by the GOD Troupe, and upon restarting in MANKAI COMPANY, lacks confidence in his acting and in himself despite multiple characters with theater experience (including Yuzo) commenting on his skill as an actor. Homare loves bragging about how awesome and magnificent he is, but once in a while he will still refer to his "broken" nature. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: In the AUTUMN & WINTER adaptations, MANKAI COMPANY wins the act-off against the GOD Troupe and is able to pay the debt they owe to the Yakuza. Tsumugi is able to patch up things with Tasuku and was able to prove himself in front of Reni. | |

Insomnia Episode | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_f7a1f3dc | comment |
Insomnia Episode: SPRING 2022 is this for Hisoka, the resident Sleepy Head. It's because he knows that if he sleeps, he'll remember the painful memories of his past, and he's not ready to face it. | |

Running Gag | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The scenes where Tsuzuru passes out after completing his scripts evolve with each stage production, that by the time of SPRING 2022, it has its own song and dance number. The MANKAI COMPANY members tease Haruto by calling him Yamada Genta after the reveal of his real name. Even Azuma joins in on the teasing. Grandma Martha from the WINTER 2021 etude suddenly gets called back during the Winter Troupe's skit in SPRING 2022. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: Most of the Spring Troupe plays center around male friendships. Discussed in The Clockwork Heartbeat, as Tsuzuru worries if audiences will tire of his plays reusing the same theme. | |

Team Mom | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_fb9e25e9 | comment |
The Winter Troupe has Team Mom Tsumugi and Team Dad Tasuku, with Tsumugi taking a gentler approach towards his handling of Hisoka and Homare. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Most of Sakyo's strict rules revolve around not wasting resources (as MANKAI's budget is very tight) and simply trying to keep a semblance of order in a building filled with some rather wacky people. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
The Winter Troupe's general conflict that spans the whole series is their unwillingness to open up to each other, being "mature adults" who know their personal boundaries. As of SPRING 2022, however, Hisoka says that while he's okay with the distance that they have as fellow members, he wants them to learn all about his past once the right time comes. | |

MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_ff17ccf1 | comment |
Innocently Insensitive: Played for Drama in AUTUMN & WINTER 2018. Homare is able to read and guess on people's intentions, but he is incapable of empathizing them too well that it almost broke the Winter Troupe up. The same issue continues on as the main focus of the latter half of WINTER 2020/2021. | |

Chromosome Casting | |
MANKAI STAGE A3! (Theatre) / int_ffb79066 | comment |
Chromosome Casting: All the cast members are male, even the ensemble cast. Female roles are either played by the male actors or shown as video footage (albeit in silhouette), and like in the game, the director's role is played by the audience. | |
