This has been my hobby recently and I can't stop

Sou during the Final Performance arc of Suzu’s route is sooooooo done with Otori’s shit, it’s incredible 😂

couldbebetterforsure

Newcomers Performance: Suzu fell asleep before his very first stage performance and had everyone scrambling to search for him unless he got replaced at the last second. Otori forgot his line after talking shit for weeks forcing Kisa to improv to save his ass.

Summer Performance: Kisa literally changed the characterization of Mukai the night before the performance with only Neji in the know. Suzu and Kai change the tone of their line without telling Kisa to help once again readjust her characterization of Mukai in the middle of the actual performance.

Fall Performance: Suzu is out thanks to injury resulting in Sou coming in as his replacement a couple weeks before the big day, and then Jean Jose is changed to Figaro and his personality and history and interactions with the cast all change. Neji changes the script and THEN also adds in the new character of Hachipochi just so Suzu wasn’t left out of the play. And then Kisa and Sou do the improv exercise of the year in the middle of the performance without telling anyone just to encourage Fumi to have fun and go all out.

Winter Performance: Literally EVERYONE struggling to properly characterize their roles until the last moment, I mean half the cast was in the middle of a crisis! Like we really went down to the wire to make this play any level of performance ready!

Univeil Performance (Suzu version): Suzu and Kisa both taking turns struggling with their roles until the last fucking minute because of romance and self esteem and acting and all that. The play having two rhythm game sections the player can’t practice for ahead of time because in universe the Quartz kids are constantly adjusting the two of them to the very last moment. Suzu getting his ankle hurt AGAIN and deciding to LIE about it being healed!!!! And perform with all that dancing and action in the role of a FUCKING SOMERSAULTING ACROBAT!!!!! With his ankle busted!!!! And while in excruciating pain the entire damn time!!!!! Also all of Quartz deciding THE DAY BEFORE THE PLAY to be like “yeah okay we’re having issues with this last climatic romantic scene between Chance and Sissia at the end of the play so you know what? Fuck it! Suzu and Kisa can wing it! Improv your hearts out you two 😄” Kisa, Suzu, and Fumi all having to scramble to cover for Suzu’s ankle. Suzu and Kisa having a whole ass genuinely moving ACTUAL FOR REALSIES love confession complete with a FOR REALSIES kiss while staying in character…and then fucking with everyone else by being like “what? we’re actors! So what if we smooch, we’re partners, the newly minted Jack Ace and Al Jeanne of Quartz. We’re built different 😤”

Who else does it like Quartz?! Where else will you get this level of entertainment?!?!?!

Overjoyed I’m not experiencing the Jack Jeanne brainrot alone! The story exceeded all my expectations and the way each route builds on the others is perfection! There is going to be a huge hole in my heart when I’m finished with it. I meant to ask when you posted awhile back but you mentioned a Jack Jeanne manga and I think there’s also a tie-in novel? Do you know if they are the same story as the visual novel or different stories?

They are all a bit different! There are currently two books as well as the manga and they were all done by Ishida and Towada who were the primary creators of JJ so they were able to give more depth to the characters rather than a simple retelling of the game.

The manga short (~50 p.) is called "Puppet". I don't think there's an EN translation currently, but you can find the JP original for free here. This is a completely separate story about an Amber student who enrolled at the same time as the Quartz third-years and what happened in Amber after Chuui arrived.

The first book is called ジャックジャンヌユニヴェール歌劇学校と月の道しるべ (Jack Jeanne: Univeil Drama School and the Guidance of the Moon) and it's full novel length (450 p.). I've only recently started reading it (JP sample chapter) but so far it has given a lot more insight into Kisa as a person and there are things that I've found so far in it that I was told were not mentioned in the game. This book goes up until the point of the Newcomer Performance.

The second book is much shorter (260 p.), simply titled ジャックジャンヌ ―夏劇― (Jack Jeanne: Summer Drama) and it has a series of short stories from the perspective of each of the main LIs (+ Otori) and the various things they did during summer vacation (sample chapter).

Hope that helps fill the void a little!
