Togainu no Chi stageplay announced

During today's 20th anniversary livestream it was announced that NITRO CHiRAL's first game Togainu no Chi (originally released in 2005) is getting a stageplay adaptation! Live performances are scheduled to start in August 2025 and it will have five different routes/endings, featuring all of the main characters from the original game.

In the article published by eplus, director Norihito Nakayashiki comments that Togainu no Chi's stageplay adaptation is like a dream come true, and he's really excited to experience the story once again through the performances of the actors. Screenwriter Hiroki Uchida also mentions that he's pouring his heart and soul into writing the script of this stageplay, to breathe new life into the beloved visual novel Togainu no Chi. Takahashi Yuri, who will play the role of protagonist Akira in the stageplay, expresses his gratitude to be part of a production that is loved by so many people.

I feel like SAWTOWNE’s “Confessions of a Rotten Girl” is so good partially because of how it makes even people who may dislike fujoshis sympathize with Miku, and it’s interesting that it’s not actually done by painting her as “one of the good ones”. Everything that’s despised about fujoshi culture, Miku explicitly is portrayed as doing.

Disliking female characters on the basis of them “getting in the way” (and being quite misogynistic about it to boot), sexualizing and shipping men in real life (the men portrayed in the song are her teachers), and even the yaoi paddle known for being used to sexually harass cosplayers…

… all these aspects are there. Hell, one of the most disliked part about fujoshi culture from a social justice standpoint — the language of describing queer relationships as “sinful” — is the whole basis behind the song.

However, SAWTOWNE, instead of lessening that toxic trait, “yes, and”s it. “Yes, she calls queer relationships sinful, as a (presumably) heterosexual woman who finds their relationship gratifying. AND, the reason she does that is because she is a sexually repressed Christian who feels guilty about having any sexual desire whatsoever.”

I think that one (very clever!) addendum makes it so any discomforting aspects to the song takes a backseat. Instead of being a song about trying to resist an interest in yaoi / The Gays specifically, it more so becomes a song about trying to resist any “abnormal” sexual desires, which makes it very easy to like this version of Miku, even as someone who very much dislikes the aspects of fujoshi culture she represents.

Plus we need more gooner girl rep anyway, lol. (As a comment on the video said: close enough! Welcome back Plus Boy!)
