The MANKAI Dorm in Those Days - Autumn/Winter Edition -Part 1

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Part 6 || Part 7 || Part 8 || Part 9 || Part 10 || Epilogue

Azami: Sigh.... Banri: Hm? Why the long face? Azami: .... Banri: Speakin' of which, seems like there ain't much people in the dorm today. Sakyo: Spring and Summer Troupes went on a workshop with director-san. Juza: The dorm's unusually quiet without those guys loiterin' around. Banri: I see. So, why Azami's all worked up? Omi: I heard he has plans with Sakoda-san today but work came up so they have to cancel it. Banri: I see. Well, that sucks. Azami: ...Juz when I thought I could fin'lly see Ken-san.

Sakyo: Geez... You know it can't be helped, right? Not like you can't meet him anytime. Azami: This has nothing to do with you, blondie, shitty four-eyes. If 's really urgent, you should've gone there instead. Sakyo: Aah? Omi: There, there. Sakoda-san was pretty disappointed too. He told me he'll make it up to you next time. Azami: That's so... but I hope Ken-san would just move here with us. Sakyo: Dream on. Taichi: But when Sakyo-nii first moved to the dorm, Sakoda-san was super eager to live here with him. Juza: I think it happened. Omi: He didn't move to the dorm in the end but he helped everyone else with their things. He, himself volunteered to do it. Sakyo: Yeah, that indeed happened. That guy sure made a lot of fuss back then-- Sakoda: Bro, I'm done carryin' all your luggage! Sakyo: Yeah. Sorry for making you help with my personal stuff. I appreciate it.

Sakoda: Bro, I'm done carryin' all the luggage! 

Sakyo: Yeah. Sorry for making you help with my personal stuff. I appreciate it. 

Sakoda: Glad to help you, bro! What's next? Sakyo: Just have to unpack my things but I can do the rest on my own. Go home for now. Sakoda: There's no way I can do that! I, Sakoda Ken is more than willing to do anythin' for you, bro! Lemme help you till the end! Sakyo: You're being too dramatic. I'm just making you help with the move. Geez... Fine. If you say so, open that cardboard box over there. Sakoda: Eyy! Leave it to me! Sakyo: I'll clean up this area then... Hm? What's this? I don't remember bringing a box like this. Sakoda: Ah, I brought it! Sakyo: The hell did you stuffed in such a bulky box? Sakoda: Hehe, I packed various handy goods in that box. This one's a lint roller. This one's a toothpaste clip--- Got a folding table, a cushion with an elegant pattern that resembles bro... Acupressure treatments, a fan, pencil sharpener, pot mats, laundry basket. Sakyo: You... Do you know how much space all this junk is going to take? Sakoda: Eek! I'm, I'm sorry! I got carried away! Sakyo: ...It's fine. Knowing you, you most likely packed all the handy items you think I could use. ....Thanks, I guess. Sakoda: ....! B-bro~!! Sakyo: Shut up, you're too loud!   --- Banri: Not surprised. Definitely, something Sakoda's gonna do. Taichi: He's only filled with affection for Sakyo-nii! Juza: He helped me carry my luggage too. Omi: I think he worked hard more than anyone else did. Azami: ....Hmm... Taichi: Ha--! Maybe we shouldn't have touched a sensitive subject...!? Banri: I s'pose Azami is havin' mixed feelings 'round that time. Sakyo:...I couldn't bring myself to talk to bon about it. Azami: ...Don't wanna dampen the mood any further. If you really feel bad about it, buy me a gold powder eye shadow from NARZ’s new series. Of course, you gotta get it first thing in the morning on the day of the release. Sakyo: Aah? The hell are you talking about? Omi: Ahaha... Taichi: At the end of the day, they're still very close to each other.

A3! Takato Tasuku - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Party (3/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Tasuku: Thanks coming today.

Taichi: WOAHH! You look hella cool, Tasuku-san~!

Itaru: Ooh, very nice.

Homare: I would love to capture this appearance on camera as well.

Taichi: He’s supposed to take a picture at the end of the event.

Tasuku: Right.

Taichi: Oh yeah. By the way, Tasuku-san, I heard you filmed the VLOG together with GODza!

Itaru: Homare-san was boasting about that.

Tasuku: Geez, he just goes off…

Homare: Is that not a good thing?

Taichi: Tasuku-san shot his VLOG with GODza… UuUh, that alone makes me wanna cry…!

Tasuku: Uh, that’s not something to cry over.

Taichi: Urgh. You don’t understand how big of a deal that is, Tasuku-san!

*knock, knock*

Izumi: Tasuku-san, everyone, it’s about time!

Tasuku: Yeah, got it.

-pause-

Tasuku: Everyone, thank you for coming today.

Guest A: Tasuku-san, happy birthday!

Guest B: Happy birthday, Tasuku-san!

Tasuku: Thanks. Alright, I’ll start by introducing my guests.

Taichi: Hey there. It’s your boy, Autumn troupe’s Nanao Taichi! Tasuku-san, happy, happy birthday!

Itaru: Spring troupe’s Chigasaki Itaru. Tasuku, happy birthday. Your outfit today looks very cool and it really suits you.

Homare: Arisugawa Homare of Winter troupe. Happy birthday, Tasuku-kun. Let us all celebrate to our heart’s content today.

Tasuku: Thanks for coming, you three. Alright, let’s get the first segment started right away.

Homare: It is the “VLOG viewing party” corner! Tasuku-kun’s VLOG was filmed by yours truly!

Taichi: Homare-san looks super smug!

Itaru: He was dying to say it, so that’s not surprising.

Tasuku: That guy… We shot the film with the theme of “a sight I want to show my fans”.

Homare: Without further ado, start the VLOG!

*applause*

-pause-

Itaru: Oh, it starts from the dorm’s front door?

Guest A: We get a feel for their regular lives like this. It’s nice…!

Guest B: I’m happy I get to see Tasuku-san’s every day, natural appearance~!

Taichi: I feel you guys! VLOGs that show someone’s natural side are nice, aren’t they?

Homare: Mhm, vindication. It is just as I said, Tasuku-kun.

Tasuku: I wasn’t actually planning to start it from there.

Itaru: From the looks of it… you couldn’t find a point to edit it?

Tasuku: Basically.

-pause-

Tasuku: “I was thinking of doing a street act here…”

Homare: “And then! We encountered these two by chance.”

Shift: “Hi! It’s Shift from GODza.”

Haruto: “Hello. I’m GODza’s Asuka Haruto.”

-pause-

Guest C: Two guys from GODza!?

Guest D: I never thought Haruto-kun and them would appear. Amazing…!

-pause-

Tasuku: “Working together, we can improve both our countries even more.”

Haruto: “Yes, agreed.”

Tasuku: “I look forward to the future that awaits us, brother.”

Haruto: “Hmph. I’ve told you over and over again that I don’t remember becoming your brother.” “…But I as well. I am looking forward to it. Gil.”

-pause-

Guest A: Wonderful…

Guest B: I never thought I’d be able to see them standing and acting on the same stage again after that collab performance…!

Taichi: T-this is the best~…! Eughh…!

Itaru: Here, Taichi. Use this tissue.

Taichi: Thanks…! *Sniff*…!

Homare: It is a tad vexing that the one next to you was Haruto-kun… However, it is a great performance no matter how many times I watch it.

Tasuku: Arisugawa… Yeah. I enjoyed that etude too.

-pause-

*applause*

Guest C: I was so moved… Tasuku-san and Haruto-kun’s performance was the best!

Guest D: I really love Tasuku-san’s acting…!

Tasuku: Thank you. When I heard the theme of the VLOG, what I thought I wanted to show everyone was me when I’m acting. The reason I was allowed to act in GODza’s theatre was because I happened to run into Haruto and Shift in Veludo City. It worked out because those two, and Reni-san, arranged it. To get to this point, my environment has changed from GODza to MANKAI Company… But if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed between then and now, it’s my love for acting. I am grateful to all the people who come watch my performances.

Guest A: I want to keep watching your plays from now on!

Guest B: I’ll always support your acting, Tasuku-san!

Tasuku: Thank you.

-pause-

Tasuku: We’re now approaching the end of the event.

Homare: That being said, it is Tasuku-kun’s photoshoot time!

Tasuku: Right. Would it be alright taking it around here?

Taichi: Hold on a second!

Tasuku: Huh…?

Taichi: You have a cool outfit on, so I want you to look as cool as you possibly can!

Itaru: He’s right. It’d be a waste simply taking it standing up. You gotta choose your pose and expression accordingly.

Taichi: Do it like you’re today’s star and like you're the man! Yep, that’s it! Gosh~, you look cool as hell~!

Homare: Then, with your permission, I shall take it for you.

Tasuku: S-sure… go ahead.

Homare: Tasuku-kun, here goes. …Say gorgonzola ♪

Translation: The MANKAI Dorms In Those Days: Spring-Summer Edition The Current Dorms

Translation under the cut!

Sakuya: Director, Autumn and Winter Troupe aren’t back yet...

Sakuya: Um...

Tenma: Oh, Sakuya. I see that director and the others haven’t come back yet.

Sakuya: Yeah, it seems that way.

Tenma: I wonder what we’ll do for dinner...

Sakuya: Ah, I was thinking the same thing!

Tenma: Let’s see. We could ask Tsuzuru-san, or we could get something delivered...

???: We’re back.

Sakuya + Tenma: Ah!

Sakuya: Welcome back!

Tenma: Welcome back.

Izumi: Glad to be back!

Banri: Ui—.

Tsumugi: We’re back. Thanks for staying here by yourselves.

Sakuya: You don’t need to thank us! Thank you for all your hard work, too!

Tenma: ...Mm? What’s that giant bag Banri and the others are holding?

Izumi: You haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?

Tenma: No, not yet.

Sakuya: We were actually just talking about it.

Tsumugi: That’s good.

Banri: M’kay, Spring Troupe and Summer Troupe should all go to the yard then.

Sakuya + Tenma: ???

Kazunari: I got spare ribs! BBQ in the yard? Pog!

Kumon: It looks so good! Meat, meat~!

Masumi: ...I’ll cook director’s.

Taichi: Mm~! It’s so good~!

Tsuzuru: Taichi, if you keep eating that fast you’ll get burnt.

Azami: Don’t just eat meat, eat your vegetables.

Misumi: Look, look~! There’s a kabocha cut into triangles~!

Itaru: You know, I’ve always wanted to roast that meat with the big bone that always shows up in games over an open fire.

Citron: Cool! I want to challenge myself to do that too! I will research later!

Chikage: Cayenne and pepper works well with this kind of barbeque. Tasuku, you’re fine with a little bit of spice, right?

Tasuku: A little bit is fine, but... Utsuki’s ‘a little’ is definitely not a little.

Omi: Let’s have dessert later. How about baked apples with ice cream?

Muku: Uwah...! That sounds so good!

Yuki: Hey, that sounds good. I want to eat it too.

Hisoka: I’ll roast marshmallows and make s’mores.

Juza: That also sounds really good.

Guy: This is the new Zafran alcohol I got the other day. Furuichi, would you like to try it?

Sakyo: Ah, I would. The Zafran snacks you suggested to me before were also quite good.

Homare: I brought wine from my room as well. How about drinking it together, Azuma-san?

Azuma: Fufu, thanks. Well then, cheers.

Tsumugi: It seems everyone’s having fun.

Tenma: Ah. But why a barbecue so suddenly?

Banri: At today’s workshop, we actually had an activity where we did an etude with a lot of people.

Banri: Our situation was a barbeque.

Tsumugi: When it ended, everyone wanted to have a barbeque...

Tsumugi: We have everyone at the dorms today, so we decided to go through with it.

Sakuya: I see!

Banri: What was Spring and Summer Troupe doing?

Sakuya: We were cleaning and doing laundry, but we started talking about the time we entered the dorms during our break.

Sakuya: We got to remember what it was like when we first moved in and talked a lot about it.

Tenma: Summer Troupe was playing cards, but when we heard Spring Troupe was talking about it, we started talking about the time we entered the dorms too.

Banri: Hah? What’s that all about.

Tsumugi: When we moved in, huh... Fufu, it’s so nostalgic.

Taichi: Ban-chan! Do you want to eat this too, Ban-chan?

Guy: Tsukioka, we have some hot wine. Drink it before it cools.

Misumi: Tenma~, we made yaki onigiri, so let’s eat it~!

Tenma: Ah, alright.

Tsumugi: Thank you, I’ll go right away.

Banri: Okay. Let me know what you talked about in detail at the leader’s meeting.

Sakuya: Okay!

Sakuya: ...

Izumi: Sakuya-kun.

Sakuya: Ah, director.

Izumi: What is it? Are you not going to eat?

Sakuya: I’ll eat. It’s just...

Izumi: It’s just..?

Sakuya: I want to admire this view for now.

Sakuya: Today, we talked about the day we moved into the dorms.

Izumi: Sounds like something you would do. Masumi-kun told me about it.

Sakuya: When I came here, the dorms were empty and really quiet.

Sakuya: There were so many rooms, but they were all unoccupied...

Sakuya: There’s furniture in the lounge and dining room, but there wasn’t much light, and you couldn’t feel the presence of other people.

Sakuya: The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the flowerbed didn’t have a single flower blooming there.

Sakuya: But now, there’s this warm light, and you can hear the laughter, and it’s so lively...

Sakuya: It makes me so happy to just watch.

Izumi: Mhm...

Izumi: Let’s keep on acting with everyone and smiling together.

Izumi: I’ll work hard to make sure that we can achieve that.

Sakuya: Yes! I’ll work hard too! I look forward to working with you, director!

Masumi: Sakuya... What are you doing with director.

Tsuzuru: Sakuya, your meat’s done.

Citron: Sakuya, it’s greet or be greeted!

Tsuzuru: What’s that!? You mean eat or be eaten.*

Itaru: Director-san, you want some alcohol?

Chikage: You’re fine with curry afterwards, right?

Izumi: Fufu, let’s go.

Sakuya: Alright!

Notes:

*both Tsuzuru and Citron’s lines changed here to make sense. The original is Citron says “yakiniku set”, then Tsuzuru says “that’s surprisingly basic” and then corrects him. It wouldn’t make sense for him to say that with the changed line, so his is changed as well.

[otomeramblings]

Disclaimer: I haven’t seen every single card and I haven’t read ahead yet, so my answers are based only on the content I know.

6 - Favourite Card SSR

To make it fun I’ll say two; from the ones I own, my favourite is Itaru’s SSR from “Into the Night!”

and from the ones I’ve seen that I would love to have is Tsumug’s SSR from “Stray Devil Blues”

In both cases, I love both versions (bloomed and unbloomed)

23 - Favourite Akigumi Card

The bloomed version of Banri’s SSR card from “The MANKAI Dorm in Those Days: Autumn-Winter Edition”

I know Azami is missing from it because of the timeline but it’s just so cute, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy 

47 - Any character you think deserves more love?

From the game? Citron! I don’t know if he gets more character developmente since I haven’t read ahead, but I would love it for him to be more fleshed out! I’m assuming we’ll get to see more of him and his story once Guy gets introduced and once he gets a lead role, but I also would love to see more of his serious side in the story overall.

From the fandom? Honestly, it took me a bit to fully appreciate Homare as a character but god he’s such a delight and I would love to see more content about him! He’s a fun and interesting character and his conversations with the MC/Izumi are such a treat~ Also you can clearly see that his VA has a lot of fun playing him and it makes the experience all that much better

Send me a number!

The MANKAI Dorm in Those Days: Spring-Summer Edition [Chapter 1]

part 2 here!!

before i start, just wanted to say that some of these might be inaccurate, since i’m not extremely fluent in japanese, but i wanted to contribute something to the a3 fanbase!! this event is the ongoing event in the japanese version of a3.

if you happen to spot various mistakes in translation, please don’t hesitate to tell me! sentences marked with * are further explained at the translation notes at the end. 

also, don’t read this if you don’t want spoilers lol.

Citron: switch off dayo!

Sakuya: phew, there’s a lot of laundry today.

Citron: until the washing machine finishes, let’s drink tea and have a break.

Tsuzuru: you’re done with the washing, huh.

Masumi: ....tired.

Tsuzuru: it wasn’t that much. besides, we still have the bathtub to clean.

Masumi: what a pain. it’s boring without her around.

Tsuzuru: oh, good grief.

Sakuya: huh? masumi, you’re not feeling well? 

Masumi: sigh....

Tsuzuru: he’s being sulky because the director’s not here.

Sakuya: well, the autumn and winter troupes are attending a workshop today, and the director went too.

Masumi: i wanted to go too....

Citron: masumi, be more energetic! let’s have tea together!

Itaru: it’s impossible. HP zero.

Chikage: good grief... how low was your HP such that it became zero?

Citron: oh? itaru seems to be greasy as well.

Masumi: it’s sloppy.

Tsuzuru: what happened?

Chikage: i have a day off from work and rehearsals, so i’m cleaning up my room... chigasaki has a lot of things on his side of the room. there’s a lot of wires around his PC and games, it’s also accumulating by the border.*

Tsuzuru: ahh, i see. my condolences.

Masumi: my condolences as well for sharing a room with itaru.

Itaru: meanie.

Sakuya: but everyone’s rooms has so much personality to it, so it’s interesting!

Citron: you are right!

Chikage: everyone entered the dormitory at the same time, right. you didn’t know one another well, so it was difficult, wasn’t it? as a troupe, did you have any troubles?

Sakuya: troubles? hmm...

Masumi: ...

Tsuzuru: well....

Chikage: fu... seems like there were various things.

Itaru: do you want to talk about those things?

Chikage: you just want a break from cleaning.

Itaru: exposed immediately.

Citron: but i was thinking of drinking tea and resting! it’s just right!* [1]

Tsuzuru: well then, i would like to have a break.

Sakuya: that’s right!

Masumi:...who are you talking to.

Citron: i was speaking to itaru!

Itaru: me, huh. that’s right... when i first entered the dormitory...

FLASHBACK

Moving company employee: thank you very much!

Itaru: thank you for your hard work.now then. the fiberboard* [2] was brought in, but the unpacking was really troublesome. well, it’s a 1-person room, so why not take it easy? starting firstly with the important wiring...

Itaru: good, the wiring is OK now. next is....

Izumi: i’m sorry to disturb, but it seems like the remaining furniture has arrived.

Itaru: ahh, director. thank you, i’ll be going now. well, ktkr* [3]. here’s the arrival of leading role~

Itaru: i want to quickly sit on the sofa.

Itaru: ...amazing. complete sitting comfort. haa, my- my own castle... awesome~~.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Itaru: i didn’t expect to share this castle with my senior form the company.

Chikage: that’s a pity.

Itaru: no no, not at all.

Sakuya: the sofa in itaru-san’s room wasn’t brought from his home?

Itaru: right, it was already there when i came. i was longing for a large sofa because my previous room was too small to put one. so that’s really a favourite of mine.

Chikage: i see, so that’s why only the sofa was clean.

Itaru: that’s right, i’m always rolling over and over on it.

Masumi: what else did i expect.

Tsuzuru: it really do be like that.* [4]

Citron: it’s not just rolling, itaru also idly spends his time on the sofa.* [5]

Itaru: who told you to say such good things. but, i like it too much, and i often sleep on it than on the bed.

Itaru: well, since we share the same room, senpai’s specially allowed to sleep there.

Chikage: i’ll refrain from doing that. i don’t want to become a no-good guy.

Itaru:... you won’t know if you’ll regret it later.

translation notes:

[1] i actually wanted to express citron saying “the timing is just right to have tea”.

[2] i was a little confused as to what it was, but it’s basically cardboard.

[3] “ktkr” is actually a slang for “kitakore”, which means “something that arrived with excitement” 

[4] it’s not really “it really do be like that”, but the meaning is the same HAHA.

[5]  this is a pun on citron’s part, since rolling is “コロコロ”, and the onomatopoeia for idly spending one’s time is “ゴロゴロ”

[astracola]

so because a3 is still relatively new (locally at least) i wanted to do a small introduction post to introduce my muses from it! i haven’t dropped in any headcanons (yet) so this’ll just be basic early game canon or character traits i think are neat. deadass i’m out here with half the cast i don’t know why i’m like this either frankly.

AZUMA YUKISHIRO

one of the oldest members of the company, likely in his early thirties. somehow manages to “defy aging” with his makeup skills and natural beauty.

he is fully aware of how pretty he is, thank you for asking.

a big brother to all.

gentle, easygoing, and calm, even in crisis or under stress.

have you met a professional cuddler. now you have.

noted to have an alluring personality and high sex appeal, because that’s great. likes to flirt a lot, and is very direct. says things that he definitely probably shouldn’t.

not much is known about his past, even among those in the company and his own troupe (winter), he keeps it this way intentionally. it’s implied he might have once been a host, as when he left his prior work to pursue acting, his clients were devastated.

skilled at poker and similar card games.

ITARU CHIGASAKI

what’s up gamers.

prince archetype. even within the major company he works for as an elite employee, he’s well respected/regarded. feels refreshing and calming to be around.

very, very handsome. like holy shit.

“two modes”. the professional look he gives for his work and in public--and the exact mode that give him his prince-like associations, and how he is in private. his public persona is mostly facade, though his compassion and caring nature is genuine. his “true self” is a hardcore gamer and otaku, like this, he curses more frequently and comes off rude or lazy.

he likes to keep these two personas separate, understandably. with most personal relationships, he holds everyone at a distance.

he works in finances, and not much is known about his passion for acting or if he has much of one at all. regardless of this, he’s a member of the spring troupe.

he often uses gaming and internet terms in his speech, especially in his “casual/gamer” mode.

to him, mankai is where he can truly be himself.  

KAZUNARI MIYOSHI

voted most likely to quote vines irl. a literal influencer. always on top of the latest trends

a member of the summer troupe, he assumes he’s friends with everyone he meets--no questions asked, even if they come off rather abrasive. great social skills! he talks to anyone and everyone like he’s known them for years, so he’s easy to get along with.

a graphic design student, he makes the fliers for mankai. his skill is in illustration, and he has just as much passion for it as he does with acting.

you literally can NOT say he isn’t fashionable. that’s his shtick.

lowkey (but highkey) flirty with anyone he’s interested in. you know. casual.

despite his carefree attitude, he chooses his words carefully to leave those he meets with the best impression of him. he thinks so long as he befriends people, things are fine, even if a lot of those friendships are shallow at their best.

you get a nickname! and YOU get a nickname! and yo-

updates his social media daily and often. instagram, twitter, line, etc.

MASUMI USUI

a member of the spring troupe, he only joined up with mankai because he fell in love with the director in a moment of “love at first sight”. obviously, this isn’t requited. he does everything he can to try and impress her, despite having little interest in acting itself.

a bit of a “bad boy” trope, a rebel and troublemaker. he’s standoffish and rude to practically everyone else.  comes across as cold and indifferent.

good at memorization! this comes in handy with their scripts.

his parents travel abroad often, so his family life is ... questionable, he has little restrictions at home and lives a carefree lifestyle, which feeds into his indifference

has a lot of female fans AND a fanclub at school thanks to his looks. he doesnt care for that shit at all tbqh.

he flirts ... a lot ... if he’s interested in you romantically ... but so far that’s only directed AT the director herself and it’s embarrassing. lovesick puppy.

i’m so sorry for him and anyone that tries to talk to him he’s kind of a dick.

MISUMI IKARUGA

honestly the definition of “bro i am just vibing.”

hard to understand, just a generally confusing person. not much is known about him or his past! he just sort of...showed up one day, crashing in the mankai dorms and becoming a member of the summer troupe shortly after.

his physical capabilities are really impressive, up to and including scaling walls and running up to ceilings. he took to acting really easily as well, and his skill in it surprised almost everyone. his wide range in characters and how easily he shifts into them implies past experience.

constantly thinking about triangles, and collects everything in a triangle shape, eats triangle food...you know how it is. the local children have dubbed him the “triangle-alien!”

enthusiastic and eccentric are the best words to describe him.

he just kind of does whatever he feels like doing, seemingly without much thought. this includes: trespassing, and stealing stuff from others (usually food). just right out of your hands.

really good at communicating with animals! it seems they have a mutual understanding.

hardcore parkour

MUKU SAKISAKA

baby (professionally diagnosed).

his motto is deadass “do one good deed each day” he is a BABY

memorizes and treasures shoujo manga, taking the male figures as inspirations. he deeply admires princes and wants to become prince-like one day.

modest, kind, and easily flustered when it comes to praise. also a lot of anxiety? he thought one of the other summer troupe members was a ghost out to get him when it was first suggested and he really thought it was because he left a single grain of rice on his plate when he was five. he’s just like this.

persecution complex.

just really...pure...

he used to do track and field, but he wasn’t passionate about it despite being the team’s ace. he only joined because he read a manga where the protagonist was on track, so he followed in his footsteps. he only quit after an injury he sustained that forever kept him from performing at his best ever again.

can recite fairytales from memory!

SAKUYA SAKUMA

sunshine embodied, the leader of mankai’s spring troupe! he was the first member of mankai, and despite his lack of skill he’s incredibly passionate about acting. he puts all of himself in everything he does. super ambitious!! 

:) auditioned because of family issues, you know how it goes. ( he’s an orphan, and his new family was only really interested in what mankai could bring them, rather than his own interests.)

open and honest to a fault, he also tends to be a bit naive. he’s trying his best to be a little more independent, but that’s a long process. otherwise enthusiastic, easygoing, and positive, gets along well with pretty much everyone!

naturally lucky! give him your phone for gacha pulls.

skilled at remembering faces and names!

he still carries the script for romeo & julius, the first play the mankai company ever performed. he looks at it if he ever feels lonely, as the company feels like a family to him.

would really like to play a ruthless villain in the future, because that’s so different from what he actually is.

TAICHI NANAO

i assign you with “puppy”. a member of the autumn troupe, he has a very hyperactive personality! one of his biggest aspirations is to be popular and liked/noticed by others.

a prime example of this are his yo-yo skills and hyper origami, at the peak of their popularity he took to trying to master both, but by the time he had no one was interested anymore, and he felt horribly defeated.

his first dose of minor fame came from a minor acting role with his classmates, whose admiration he gained for his skill. ever since, he’s been trying to get this level of attention back ever since.

very in-the-know when it comes to the latest trends, because of this! fashion, past times, you name it.

needs recognition as a way to validate himself, to an unhealthy degree. he’s easily discouraged when met with criticism or when given a role he has little confidence in.

noisy and generally upbeat, and maintains an optimistic attitude despite his own lack of self-confidence.

TENMA SUMERAGI

essentially raised in the world of acting, he’s a former child prodigy who still stars in programs outside of the company.

because both of his parents are movie stars, and because of his own past, he has great faith in his abilities and hates to lose. high confidence to the point of being a bit egotistical.

“oresama” trope. his cocky attitude has gotten him into a bit of trouble with his fellow actors. as a result, prior to joining the mankai company, he didn’t have a lot of friends.

leader of the summer troupe, becoming a part of the troupe has forced him to learn to humble himself and learn to empathize. at the same time, he joined the company to overcome his weakness in performing in front of live audiences. in film, the mistakes can be edited, live? there’s a chance to disappoint the audience, and worse yet, his parents. he wants to overcome this fear and grow to be a better actor.

no sense of direction, despite his protests. also easily frightened when it comes to “scary things.” think of the classics: ghosts, abandoned places, etc.

really wants to play the role of a “bad guy” to expand his horizons, he’s often placed in cool or suave roles on tv.

TSUMUGI TSUKIOKA

the gentle, soft-spoken leader of the winter troupe! he’s said to take on his grandmother’s personality, often playing the mediator when it comes to conflict and holds a great desire for harmony

extremely!! empathetic!! to a fault, because of his empathy and sensibility, it seeps into his confidence, making him doubt himself and his own abilities--especially with acting. he’s not all that assertive either, as a result.

the mankai company is helping him grow, nowadays, he has a little more faith in himself, though he’s still rather shy.

dabbled in acting before back in university before reigniting the spark with mankai. he withdrew after intense criticism and watching his fellow theater students pass by him in ability, and it led to an intense falling out with a childhood friend (said friend is now also a part of the winter troupe)

psychology major and part-time tutor

really fucking good at rock paper scissors

he has a passion for gardening, thanks to his grandmother. he understands the language of flowers and often takes care of them.

The MANKAI Dorm in Those Days - Autumn/Winter Edition -Part 8

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Part 6 || Part 7 || Part 8 || Part 9 || Part 10 || Epilogue

Guy: Next is Mikage's turn. Hisoka: I... don't have any significant episode when I moved into the dorm. It can't be considered as 'moving' in the first place... Tsumugi: Hmm... That's certainly was the case... Azuma: Like Homare mentioned in his story earlier, Hisoka slept without a futon for a week so the Winter Troupe decided to buy him furniture. Tasuku: Yeah, that indeed happened. Homare: That's right. Tasuku-kun took out his car to buy a futon, a dresser, and a desk. Guy: So everyone brought the furniture in Mikage's room. Hisoka: ...I remembered. That day...

Homare: The futon fits perfectly. Hisoka-kun, from this day onwards, your bed is no longer the floor but the bed over there! Hisoka: Bed...

----

Homare: Toasty warm warmer, Good long soak for tired worker, Fuu, refreshing bathwater!  Hm?

Hisoka: Zzz...Zzz... Homare: Now, now, Hisoka-kun, wake up! Hisoka: Hn...Arisu, you're too noisy... Homare: Did you forget? Starting from today, your bed is no longer the floor!   Now, make full use of the futon we bought with my and Azuma's money. Hisoka: ...Getting up is troublesome. Homare: Troublesome? Troublesome you say!?

-----

Hisoka: That time, I thought it was okay to sleep anywhere. At first, I slept on the bed only because Arisu told me to but... When I went to bed, I realized that the futon they bought is like marshmallows. It was comfortable. 

Azuma: Fufu, I'm glad you liked it. At that time, you stubbornly said you don't need a pillow but still bought it on a later date. Tsumugi: That's right. Hisoka: ....I can't sleep without a pillow anymore. Tasuku: Don't lie. You're still sleeping everywhere even without a pillow. Hisoka: ....But I'm using my pillow properly when I'm sleeping in my room. Now, I want a higher  quality. Arisu, buy me one. Homare: Unlike before, you are now a proper member of society. You have to buy it out of your own pocket this time. Hisoka: ....Stingy. Homare: Stingy? Stingy, you say!   Guy: Pft. Tasuku: Those two never changed.

1) Please note that I took the liberty to change add a few words in Homa’s poem cuz rhyming the whole thing in English is almost impossible T////T  but I’m dropping the reading here for everyone’s reference^^ 

ポカポカとあったかポーカ、

 湯上がりウォーカ~ 。 ふう、 いいお湯だったね。

(pokapoka to ataka poーka, yuagari worker~. Fuu, ii oyu da ta ne.)

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Part 6 || Part 7 || Part 8 || Part 9 || Part 10 || Epilogue

Epilogue: "The Lively Mankai Dorm"

Tsumugi: Oof. Banri: Hn? Tsumugi-san, what's in that box? Tsumugi: Oh, Banri-kun. It's a box of sake for Azuma-san. Azuma-san wants the sake cold so he asked me to refrigerate it when it arrives. Banri:  I see. Lemme help you. Tsumugi: Thanks for helping me out. Banri: Speakin' of, where's Azuma-san? Tsumugi: He went out to shop for things with Omi-kun. Tasuku is driving for them. He said he's going to request snacks to go with the sake. Banri: Autumn and Winter Troupe's members gathered in the dorm today so lot's a people can help with the shopping. Heard it from Omi but I didn't expect Tasuku will drive for them. Tsumugi: Fufu, I'm looking forward to our dinner. Omi: We're home. Misumi: We're home. Masumi: We're home~!

Izumi: We're home! Tsumugi: Eh? Welcome home. Banri: Why would the Spring-Summer workshop group and shopping group go back together? Tsumugi: Seems like you bought quite a lot of stuff. Kazunari: Fufufu... Did you notice? 

----

Kumon: Man, aren't these smoked chips? Yuki: It's in the box together with the sake sent to Azu-nee. Itaru: Heh,  a pretty sophisticated gift you got there. 

Azami: That kinda stuff has a different scent depending on the type of wood used. Taichi: Smoked chips for BBQ? How adultish~! Banri: ....What exactly is happenin’ here? Tenma: When Autumn and Winter Troupes went back from the workshop, everyone had BBQ together, right? Izumi: I remembered and suggested, "Let's do it again" as a surprise to Autumn and Winter Troupes. So, we went straight to the supermarket to buy ingredients after the workshop. Sakuya: Then we accidentally met Omi-san's group in the supermarket. We're so surprised. Tenma: After that, we joined the group to buy BBQ ingredients together. Tsumugi:  So that's what happened....

Muku: Tenma-kun, the meat is grilled! Tsuzuru: The veggies are grilled deliciously too. Citron: Sakuya-kun, come here. Let's eat together!

Sakuya: Yes! Tenma: Yeah, I'll be right over there.

Guy: Cheers. Hisoka: ...This sake smells good. Delicious. Tasuku: Yeah. It's easy to drink. Homare: How wonderful, a flash of inspiration came upon me! 

Azuma: Sakyo-kun, Chikage, why don't we have a drink together? Come here. You too,  Kazu, Omi. Chikage: I'll take up on that offer then. Sakyo: Yeah, me too. Kazunari: Thankies, Azu~! OMG~! Man, this sake bottle's real snazzy! Omi: Thanks for the drink. 

Banri: Winter Troupe's havin' a good time as usual. Tsumugi: I'm sure Banri-kun is going to be more involved like this. 

Izumi: He's still in high school when he joined the company. Banri: Brings back memories. Tsumugi: The times we've spent together went by so quickly but--- I'll never, ever get tired of the theater, if anything, I'll fall in love with it more and more. Banri-kun, you think so too, right? Banri: Well. From now on, we'll continue to push forward more and more. Izumi: Fufu, yup. That's right! Taichi: It's done~! Nanao Taichi's special, smoked chocolate! Juza: .....! Looks delicious. Taichi: Right?! Right!? Ban-chan, Tsumugi-san, try it too! Banri: ....Smoked chocolate....? Izumi: It's a very adult taste. Tsumugi: Director, join us too. Kumon: Alright! I'll make my very own delicious smoked food too~! Masumi: Director, eat the meat and vegetables I grilled especially for you. Misumi: These triangles are super delish too~! Azuma: We still have plenty of drinks. Tsumugi: Everyone is having fun. Banri: It's lively or noisy or somethin'. Izumi: This lively atmosphere is just how MANKAI Company is. Tsumugi: Fufu, it seems like BBQ after the workshop is going to be staple from now on.

(T/N: Finally~! T/////T Seeing everyone just chilling and enjoying in the dorm kind of makes me feel warm. It makes me want to join them xD. Hoping everyone enjoyed the event story! Ciao! )

The MANKAI Dorm in Those Days - Autumn/Winter Edition -Part 5

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Part 6 || Part 7 || Part 8 || Part 9 || Part 10 || Epilogue

Omi: There, there, calm down, you two. Azami: All's left is Banri-san but... Banri: Told you. I don't remember shit. Taichi: Don't say that! Look, everyone shared their stories already! Banri: Geez... 'kay fine. If I got an episode when I entered the dorm... It's--

Banri: (Alright. I had all my luggage picked-up by the movers. I'm more or less set to go.) Banri's Sister: Hey there, Banri. 

Banri: Why're you here, nee-chan? Banri's Sister: I heard from mom that you're moving. I had free time so I stopped by. Banri: ....*Sigh Banri's Sister: You sure you're leaving here to live in a dormitory? I don't think someone like you who's never a team player can live with other people. Banri: Shut up. Get off my back. Banri's Sister: Well, I hope things go well for you. If you got into trouble, nee-chan is just here to talk to you. Banri: Yeah, yeah. Banri 's Sister : They'll be the ones taking care of you from now on, why don't you bring back a souvenir? There's a nice shop I can recommend. Should I buy it for you now? Banri: Nah, don't need it. Mind your own business.

---

Banri: She's the one who's lookin' out for me so I can't shake her off, a real pain in the ass. Azami: Guess Banri-san's relationship with his sister's just like that.   Sakyo: Your sister cares about you. Isn't she a good sister? 

Omi: We've pretty much heard everyone's episode when they moved into the dorm. Though, the second half became more about the siblings. Juza: Indeed. Taichi: But seriously guys, don't y’all wanna meet Ban-chan's sister? Banri: Don't even think about it. I'm tellin' you, she habitually walks ‘round the house naked.* Azami: ..N-Naked...!? Banri: Nee-chan already turned my room into her personal storage space. Omi: It must be tough having female siblings, not to mention an older sister. Banri: Yeah. must be tough for brocon brothers too. Juza: You... Are you pickin' a fight with me? Banri: Ah? Come at me! Juza: Bring it on! Banri: Aah!? Sakyo: Shut your mugs, you fuckers! Taichi: Eek-! It’s Sakyo-san's lightning strike!* Azami: ....I knew it'll end up like this.

NOTES: 1) Banri refers to the slang term 裸族 (razoku) lit. nudist tribe/nudist-- which means a person who habitually goes around the house naked (or in underwear). 2) Taichi refers to 雷が落ちた (Kaminari ga ochita), when someone is struck by the lightning, it means they're being scolded harshly/ yelled at.

The MANKAI Dorm in Those Days - Autumn/Winter Edition -Part 3

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Part 6 || Part 7 || Part 8 || Part 9 || Part 10 || Epilogue

Taichi: Omi-kun hesitated to live in the dorm at first, right? Omi: Yeah. It's because I'm doing almost all the housework back home but when I talked to my father and brothers about it, they willingly let me go. Banri: The dorm's meal’s gonna be hella different if Omi didn't move in with us. Sakyo: We'll surely have curry every single day. Juza: Glad Omi-san came to us. Taichi:  When I left my parent's house, mine was the exact opposite of Omi-kun's situation~. The day when I'm about to enter the dorm....

Taichi's Father: Is this all your luggage? I'll take them to the car. 

Taichi: Yup. Thanks. I'm done packing everything I need. Alright, let's start--- Mirai: No! Don't go, onii-chan! Taichi: Wah! Mi-chan!? Masato: Nii-chan, are you really going away? Don't leave us... Taichi: Ma-kun, you too... (I didn't expect these two would be this lonely without me...) Mirai: Onii-chan, do you hate Mi-chan and Ma-kun? Taichi: O-of course not! Masato: Then...Then, don't go...! Mirai: Uwaahh... Mi-chan doesn't want you to go, onii-chan~! Taichi: Mi-chan, Ma-kun... Huhu...You two are making it really hard for me to move out~!

----

Taichi: I was both happy and lonely. My emotions are all over the place. Juza: I see. Banri: Must've been hard for you to get out. Taichi: In the end, my parents helped me and I managed to get out of the house without a hitch. Omi: Anyone would be hurt after seeing their cute little sister and brother cry. Taichi: Right,  right~. I almost cried. They still managed to send me off even while bursting out in tears-- I still can't forget the expression Mi-chan and Ma-kun made up until now. Sakyo: Isn't it a good memory? Taichi: But right now, those two are crazy about A-chan and Yuki-chan. Even though Mi-chan and Ma-kun used to like me that much too... I'm really irritated.   Banri: Good for you, Azami. Azami: What's good? Banri: Well, as long as you don't go too far with your sis-con and bro-con. Taichi: Of course I know A-chan is cool and all but just so you know, I absolutely have zero intention of giving Mi-chan to you as your bride! Azami: Haa!? What the hell are you talking about!? Sakyo: Good grief...

(T/N: I really appreciate L/iber giving us backgrounds of the boys’ houses/ rooms >/////<)

Guy: I didn't know there was such a story behind the dresser in the room. Homare: Like the Autumn Troupe, Winter Troupe ended up talking about the time when we moved to the dormitory. Azuma: I'd love to hear everyone's episode. Tasuku: You mean, now...? Homare: Why not? It's interesting. Tsumugi: It might be a nice topic to talk about now. Hisoka:  ....I'm a bit curious too. Guy: I'm not yet around when everyone moved into the dormitory but the episodes at that time seem interesting. I'd like to hear about it by all means. Azuma: Fufu... Let's take turns in sharing our stories then.   Homare: Very well, then. Let me share my story! Tsumugi: Homare-san especially hired a builder to customize the walls in your room, right? Homare: That's right! That day...

Homare: I've brought in all my luggage in the meantime. I can slowly start unpacking later...

Builder: Good afternoon. I'm looking forward to working with you today. Homare: Yeah, same here. I'd like for you to work on the entire wall on this side! Builder: Understood. Then I'll immediately--- ! Um, excuse me... Homare: Hm? What could it be? Builder: Someone is sleeping on the floor... Hisoka: Zzz...Zzz... Builder: He's sleeping so comfortably.   I'm afraid loud sounds from constructions might disturb him. Homare: Hmm... Indeed. Let's have him move. Hisoka-kun, wake up. Hisoka-kun ! Builder: He's not budging... Homare: How troublesome. However, it will not be possible to reschedule the construction. Can't help it.  Don't worry about him. Just go ahead!

Homare: The builder said that the noise in the room might get in the way but Hisoka never once opened his eyes from the beginning to the end. Hisoka: When I woke up, the walls became bricked. 

Tasuku: You sure had a good sleep. Guy: Mikage is just like that. Azuma: Fufu, I wonder if it's some kind of hidden talent?

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5 || Part 6 || Part 7 || Part 8 || Part 9 || Part 10 || Epilogue

Omi: It's quite fun to hear stories from the time when we first entered the dorm. Banri: I heard Spring and Summer Troupes shared stories of those days too. Taichi: Then let's talk about Autumn Troupe's memories of those days too! Banri: Ha? Don't remember any shit 'bout that time. Taichi: Is that so?  During those days, Ban-chan's hella edgy~. Sakyo: Indeed. Juza: Not much different now. Banri: Aah? Omi: Things went crazy on Banri and Juza's first day in the dorm. Azami: Can tell Banri-san and Juza-san don't get along well even without asking. Betcha, Taichi-san and Omi-san's room is the most peaceful room here since the beginning.   Taichi: Yup! It's super nice since the beginning. Omi: Indeed it is. Speaking of which, I'm not sure if it can be considered as a big episode but--

Omi: Alright, I'm done cleaning up all the boxes I've bought in. How about you, Taichi? Taichi: Ugh huhu~! I can't clean everything~! My boxes and all other stuff are eating up all of my space. 

Omi:  I can help you if you don't mind. Taichi: Is it really okay? Omi: I'm done cleaning up my side. Taichi: My savior! I'll take you up on your offer! Thanks a lot! Omi: Got it. I'm putting this away. Are your clothes and other miscellaneous goods inside this box? Hm? What's this? Taichi: Ah, those are knickknacks for the shelves. A popular guy mentioned in a magazine that he's putting up stylish stuff in his room. I'll put some accessories in this area too! Omi: What are those items for? Taichi: Hehe, I saw it in a magazine! It's a super crazy cool special accessory! I'm gonna imitate the room and make it look like it is owned by someone super popular! Omi: O-ohh, I don't really understand but okay. Taichi: Righty-ho~! This arrangement's kinda cool--!

Taichi: This is all good! Thanks a lot! I won't be able to make my space clean without Omi-kun's help! Omi: You're welcome. We're going to be roommates starting today so let's get along. Taichi: Same here! The room is already clean but this space around here is a little lonely. Everyone else seems to have shared items, but we didn't bring any. Omi: How about let's go and shop for something the two of us can use? Taichi: Nice idea! Let's go buy them asap!

-----

Omi: So that time,  we bought a desk and a rug for the shared space in our room. Taichi: Right, right! Something like that happened~. I like our shared space very much! 

Juza:... Banri: ....Shopping together on the very first day. Sakyo: Can't imagine Settsu and Hyodo doing it. Azami: Banri-san and Juza-san are exact opposites after all.

(T/N: Omi-Taichi is sooooo precious~! Also, not translation related but have you guys watched the latest episode?! >//////<  I mean---- LOOK AT THIS!! )
