sometimes i think about how taichi got into the most competitive troupe on veludo way that even tsumugi failed his audition for and still considers himself one of the worst actors in mankai, a group of men izumi took in off the street like stray cats, and i get. a little bit sad. like buddy you have actual qualifications
Unfortunately saw this post and the first thing I connected it to was A3... Putting the sprites on top makes it feel jokey but actually I am so /srs about this as an analysis so 😔😔
tsuzuru is genuinely enchanted by ikeas. like he adores it, it makes him feel safe its like so fucking good for his stress and anxiety to just walk around an ikea looking at lamps and cabinets and room displays and shit
if/when izumi gets married, she makes absolutely everyone in the venue laugh when she walks down the aisle. bc. well. she didnt walk lol. ofc the plannn was to do the nice calm little walk up to do vows, but the second the doors opened she just got so excited that she hiked up her skirt and practically dashed her way up, giggling all the while. who cares about the organ music?? who cares about the painfully slow walk she practiced over and over?? she was getting MARRIEDDDDD!!! it was her and her partner’s special day!!!! ofc shes gonna skip her way up there and throw herself in for a hug!!
dude gimme a saku whos actually a super capable driver, ONLY if you don’t mention that to him. drive a whole hour in silence he’s 110% fine, he’s *good* even, but you start with the ‘omg wow ur really good at this for a new driver, woah those turns are clean, wow you do it so natural’ suddenly he’s gripping the wheel tense and sweating and twisting around to check his blindspots and looking in every mirror and effectively acting like he’s one breath away from crashing into a light pole and wailing apologies to everyone involved

Misumi: Tenma~!
Kazunari: ‘Scuuuse us!
Tenma: Woah!? What the!?
Kumon: For your birthday, remember! We’re trying to decide what to do!
Tenma: You literally just asked yesterday though.
Yuki: We don’t have much time, so if you’re gonna pick something then hurry up and pick it.
Tenma: Hold on…!
Misumi: Tenma, what do you wanna do~?
Muku: Is there somewhere you would like to go?
Kazunari: We can even stay overnight! Just let it out!
Tenma: …Well.
Yuki: Oh yeah. You looked like you had something you wanted to say yesterday.
Tenma: …
Kumon: You actually do have something in mind already! What is it, what is it!?
Tenma: …Alright, I’ll be honest.
The truth is there’s a certain shrine I’d like to visit.
Misumi: A shrine~?
Tenma: A god of entertainment is enshrined there. It was one of the filming location options for my last shoot, but they decided to go somewhere else in the end.
It’s kind of far and you have to drive up a mountain road to get there, so I figured it’d be hard to go unless it was for work or something.
I thought maybe we could go if it was for my birthday…
But it’d also take quite a bit of time out, so I felt maybe a different place would be better.
Kazunari: Ah, that's what you were feeling? Btw, where is this place anyways?
Tenma: Oh, right… hold on. The shrine should have an official website.
Look, it’s here.
Kazunari: I see~.
Y’know, I think this place is day-trippable though?
Muku: Wow. The scenery looks wonderful too.
Kumon: It looks awesome sauce! Let’s all go together!
Misumi: Yeah, I’m sooo down to go!
Tenma: Hey, why does it seem like you guys want to go even more than me?
This is to celebrate my birthday, right?
Kumon: Of course we’re going there to celebrate your birthday, Tenma-san!
Kazunari: You know it! Like, totally!
Tenma: …I mean, it depends on the weather too.
It’s fine with me if we just celebrate at the dorm.
Yuki: We’ve already come this far. Do you really think these guys are going to back down?
Kazunari: Alrighty, we gotta check everyone’s schedules first~…
Kumon: I wonder if there’s any rest stops along the way?
Misumi: I hope there’s triangles~!
Muku: Okay. I’ll prepare the snacks for the road.
What would everyone like to eat?
Yuki: See?
Tenma: It’s my birthday, you know?
…I’ll check my schedule.
-pause-
Kumon: Morning, Directo!
Muku: Good morning!
Izumi: Good morning, you guys.
Today’s Tenma-kun’s birthday party, right?
Misumi: Yep, that’s right~!
Izumi: Fufu, I see you’re all packed to go.
Do you guys need breakfast?
Kazunari: We’re good! We’re gonna stop at a service area along the way!
Izumi: Sounds good. Be careful and drive safe!
Muku: Yes, thank you very much!
Tenma: Huh? Hold on a second.
…If Director’s not coming, then who’s driving?
Don’t tell me…
Misumi: Meee! I’m gonna bring Tenma all the way to the shrine all safe and sound!
Tenma: Yep, I figured it’d be Misumi.
I mean, I can’t argue that Misumi’s driving feels surprisingly safe…
Yuki: Alright, we’re going not going to have enough time if we don’t leave soon.

Kumon: This movie looks like it’s about a dance club, so Sumi-san and I rented it!
Tenma: I see. That’s perfect since tomorrow’s the talk show for the screening of “+3Ghosts!”.
Muku: On that topic, is Madoka-kun coming to the screening party tomorrow?
Misumi: Yep. He said he can make it~!
Kazunari: For realsies!? That’s great news, right, Sumi!
Yuki: Oh, really? That’s nice.
He cleared his schedule for it.
Kumon: Alright, let’s pop this bad boy in and press play!
Misumi: I can’t wait to see their dance club~!
-pause-
Tenma: Hey, why is that guy heading towards the old school building…?
Yuki: Pipe down. He said he's going to go practice by himself, remember?
Muku: This feels kind of eerie, but it’ll be alright since he’s just practicing. Right…?
Misumi: It’s a coming-of-age story, so it’ll be fine!
Kazunari: Nothing’s happened yet, so let’s keep watching!
TV: “I feel like I just heard footsteps…
Nah, there’s no way. It’s just my imagination.”
“WOAH!? Water started gushing out on its own…!
But no one’s here… what’s going on…”
Tenma: Guys, it’s spiraling into something freaky!
Didn’t you say it’d be fine since it’s a coming-of-age flick!?
Misumi: Huh~? That’s weird.
Kumon: It wasn't in the horror section though.
Maybe it got put in the wrong place?
Tenma: I’m going back to my room!
Yuki: Are you scared?
Tenma: I didn’t say that!
Kazunari: Chillax. Mayhaps they’ll pull a punchline after this and it won’t be scary after all?
Besides, it wasn’t in the horror section. I betchu there’s nothing to worry about!
Muku: Y-Yeah, what he said…!
Misumi: Muku, you can hold my hand if you’re scared.
Muku: Are you sure?
Misumi: I don't mind~!
-pause-
Izumi: The screening’s about to start. Please get ready.
Misumi: Okay~!
Izumi: By the way, I heard you guys watched a movie last night?
Tenma: …I’m trying to forget about that.
Izumi: Huh? Did something happen?
Misumi: Nope. The movie was fun~!
Kumon: It was super exciting and full of twists!
Tenma: You guys said it was a coming-of-age flick but it was actually a horror in the end…!
Izumi: (Just what kind of movie did they watch…)
Ah, it’s time now. Let’s head over?
Misumi: ‘Kaaay! I can’t wait for the talk show!
*notification sound*
Misumi: Ah, it’s a LIME from Madoka!
Madoka’s LIME: “I’m looking forward to the screening. Good luck.”
Misumi’s LIME: “Thanks, I’ll do my best!”
-pause-
Misumi: Memories during the run of “+3Ghosts!”, huh~?
Kumon: I have tons! Like the festival. Ah, and the fireworks!
Tenma: Oh, yeah. We also performed a dance routine on the stage at the summer festival as PR for our show.
Misumi: Yep. That was a blast~!
Kumon: After that, we wanted to light sparklers but we couldn’t since most of them got damp.
Tenma: For some reason, only the pinwheel fireworks lit up…
Kumo: Right, right! That was super fun!
Misumi: There were so many more memories that we only could’ve made during that time, just like the story we just shared!
Kumon: Wait, we’ve only been talking about what we did for fun!
Tenma: Oh, you’re right…
Misumi: Ah. Why don’t we tell them about how we watched MANKAI Company’s first generation’s pirate play then?
Tenma: Good idea.
Seeing as we happened to watch that during the run of “+3Ghosts!”.
Kumon: The first gen members were totally awesome!
Misumi: They put on an amazing show~!
Tenma: Yeah. They were also better than us at everything.
After watching it, I wanted to go back and start acting right away.
Kumon: That’s how passionate their performance was, wouldn't you say!
Since it was during the performance period, I feel like all of us were more fired up than usual the next day!

Kumon: What’dya buy, Muku?
Muku: A postcard.
I was told it’s sold in Europe.
Yuki: Nice. It’s pretty cute.
Misumi: We’ve arrived at the rendezvous point~!
Kazunari: Ah, those 3 are here already.
Kumon: Sumi-san, Kazu-san!
Were you guys able to buy what you were looking for?
Kazunari: Copped and in the bag.
Misumi: I bought a nice triangle~!
Muku: I’m glad the World Market came around again!
Kazunari: I know, right!
There were loads of awesome items~.
Kumon: Hold on guys, where’s Tenma-san!?
It’s almost the time we agreed to meet up again…
Yuki: I hope he didn’t get lost again.
*Tenma shuffling around*
Tenma: …
Muku: Huh? Could that person wandering around over there possibly be Tenma-kun…
Yuki: …Surprise, surprise.
Kumon: HEEEY! TENMA-SAAAN!
*walks over*
Tenma: It was over here…?
Geez, this landmark is hard to spot.
Misumi: But you’re the one who said this spot would be fine when we split up~?
Yuki: If you’re going to get lost, then don’t go off on your own in the first place.
Tenma: I-It’s not a big deal! Plus I wasn’t lost!
Yuki: Sure, whatever you say.
Misumi: So what did you buy, Tenma~?
Tenma: An Arabian light.
Doesn’t it look like something from “Water me!”?
Muku: Wow, it looks so cute!
Kazunari: Your taste is on point, Tenten~!
Kumon: I’m so hype for the screening party coming up!
-pause-
Tenma: We’ve gotten into costume and we’re all set to go for the screening party.
Kumon: We performed this play pretty recently so it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long!
Misumi: I can’t wait to chat with everyone~!
Yuki: Tenma, is it just me or have you lost a bit of muscle since the play?
Tenma: D-Did I… really!?
Kumon: Don’t worry about it, Tenma-san!
You look strong and cool like usual!
Tenma: …But now I’m worried since you mentioned it.
There’s still some time before the talk show, so I’ll work out a bit.
Misumi: Right now~!?
Izumi: It’s almost time to go on stage!
-pause-
Kumon: We were just talking about this in the dressing room, but since this is our most recent play, it doesn't feel like it's been that long compared to our other ones.
Tenma: But that also makes it easier to remember and talk about things that happened during our rehearsals.
Kumon: I appeared before in the re-run of “Water me!”. But this time I got the chance to interact with everyone as the ring genie which was super fun!
Misumi: Unlike our first play, I liked how all of us joined up and went on an adventure together~.
Yuki: I was nice going to America before the play too, right?
Misumi: Yeah! It felt like all of us were travelling together, just like in the play~!
Kumon: Oh yeah. Tenma-san almost got lost in America too, didn’t he?
Yuki: He sure did. We were all walking together, yet he almost went down a different road by himself.
Tenma: T-That doesn’t count as getting lost!
Besides, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone did lose their way since it’s an unfamiliar place.
Yuki: Why are you being stubborn? Might I remind you who got lost at the World Market the other day?
Kumon: But Kazu-san said it’s not safe to walk alone in foreign countries even if it seems safe!
Misumi: Everyone, be careful if you get the chance to go on a trip, ‘kay~!
