SPOTLIGHT EV: Hanasaki Academy & Ouka High [CHAPTER MASTERLIST + PROLOGUE]

[mimosacafe]

IN-GAME SYNOPSIS:

"One day in Nadeshiko Publishing, Kasumi calls the Director of MANKAI Company over to propose a new special feature series that would highlight the troupe, as the publication once did with them during their Spotlight Web ver. campaign in the past.

This time, the feature will circle around one of the company’s secrets to their successful performances— the relationships that they’ve built with one another. Whether these relationships involve members of the same troupe or beyond, Kasumi is interested to put the spotlight on them.

The first issue will star six members:
the students from Hanasaki Academy: Sakuya, Masumi, and Banri;
and students from Ouka High: Tenma, Juza, and Taichi."

“PROLOGUE: A New Special Feature"


Kasumi: Here’s some tea.
Izumi: Thank you very much!
(Kasumi-san told me he had something he wanted to talk to me about, so here I am in Nadeshiko Publishing… I wonder what it is he wants to discuss though.)
Kasumi: Shall we move on to the main subject for today?
Izumi: Yes, of course.
Kasumi: So then, our web publications of “Spotlight” featuring MANKAI Company had quite the response in the past.
We received a lot of feedback requesting to do more of the special feature.
Thus, we hoped to put together more of the series with your troupe.
Izumi: No way, really!?
The honor would be ours. We’re thankful for the opportunity.
Kasumi: I’m glad to hear that then, Director.
However, we have a different goal in mind for this special feature series compared to the last one.
Izumi: What kind of goal…?
Kasumi: One of MANKAI Company’s secrets to building their performances is by living together to form relationships with each of the actors, isn’t it?
… What I’m proposing for this special feature is to hear about the stories of those very relationships.
In other words, we want to know about the stories of their beginnings and how they’ve been built up to the present and feature them.
Whether it’s relationships of members from the same troupe or those that formed even beyond them— any of them would be just fine… But what do you think?
Izumi: That would be interesting, you’re right! I think it’d be a good idea.
Kasumi: Great! Then we can talk about which groups to decide on in addition to our discussions for today, would that be fine?
Izumi: Of course. Thank you again for having me.
Kasumi: The pleasure’s mine.
Izumi: (Relationships that go beyond the regular troupes, huh… There are a lot of groups that could fit that description alone.)
(Getting to know what influence those bonds had on them too... This will be exciting!)
