Manosaba The Next page

This is the first time I ever actually watched a… stage reading? Not sure how else to describe it. And I enjoyed it a lot! Even with my limited Japanese, I was probably able to understand maybe just over 50%, enough to get the general gist of what was happening at least.

I thought it was a good follow up to the main story, and a good way to help Miria’s character grow as well. I was worried it would feel kind of tacked on but I thought they did a good job with it and liked the quality of it.

The main selling point unsurprisingly was that the voice actors did a STELLAR job with it. Everything from how they acted on stage to their delivery was fantastic. Loved it a lot.

Also huge shouts out to the Sherihan content!!! Sherry trying to pick up Hanna and calling her heavy was cute!!! And also the formation of the sewing mystery club was cute!!!!

They did a really good job in that scene with tying in Hanna’s trauma of being abandoned and lonely. When she eventually sort of gives up and goes “there is nothing else I can add” only for Sherry to swoop in and be like “so let’s combine our clubs” that shit made go hell yeah!

Honestly though Miria was a standout. I really loved the ending sequence and just her general desire to be with everyone, and everyone writing in her yearbook. I think in a lot of ways this theatre was a good way of again, Manosaba is a character first story, and the setting/death game is secondary to showcasing the characters. Which were great!
