Perseverance Prevails (1)
(1) A zuka short comics series. Pun on 石の上にも三年, which basically means sit on a [cold] rock long enough (3yrs) and it’ll warm up. But TMS lasts 2 yrs so the figurative rock-sitting trail only lasts 2yrs as opposed to 3yrs.
Basically a bunch of reimaginings of seasoned upperclassmen stars recounting their TMS adventures.
Nozomi Fuuto’s Epic Fail Takarazuka GRAPH Feb 2018
Daimon, Seiko, & a bunch of Kanto classmates used to fly home for the holidays. On their first summer vacation, they just started singing Valore and probably other songs throughout the flight.
It’s not until they land that Daimon finds out upperclassman Nanakaze Umi had been sitting in front of her the entire time. Thus Daimon spends her whole summer break freaking out and dutifully warning her entire douki network that she screwed up via being a perceived annoyance to Nanakaze the whole flight.
Turns out Nanakaze was practically Daimon’s neighbor so she saw her every day and was just waiting to get chewed out every time they crossed paths. Daimon "went through several months in a depressed haze” until she worked up the courage to apologize to Nanakaze, who was totally cool about it all along.
Apparently, each class has a phone tree and it’s everyone’s collective responsibility to update each other of blunders and other important news so they can function (i.e. apologize) as a unit.
Forever Grateful Nozomi Fuuto Takarazuka GRAPH Aug 2018
Once Mitsuru (Hanagata Hikaru) randomly buys Haagen Dazs ice cream for the 89ths. Young Daimon declares Mitsuru world’s best boyfriend but they wind up a few quarts short. Daimon, with her infinite zuka wisdom, deduces 85th class must have been smaller than their own 89th so Mitsuru had miscounted.
Flash forward & Daimon is assigned to Hanagumi where she bumps into Mitsuru and ever dutiful, she thanks her for the ice cream. Mitsuru brushes it off like it was nothing cuz she’s a cool otokoyaku, missing ice cream included.
Bonus: Mitsuru is very good at playing the cool boyfriend. When some 89ths were heading back to the dorm looking chilled, she pulled up in her convertible to check on them & tell them she had a treat for everyone.
