Home 161: The president and the assistant.
Sign: Student council office
You're going to put on a play...
With Taira in the lead role...
At this year's Saika festival...?
Blurb: Just as in the Mikadono household, a shockwave runs through the student council office.
That Mikadono Kazuki...
What on earth is she thinking?
She *is* a genius actress... Is this all part of some kind of plan...?
Academic department, 3rd year - Inose Eiji (Vice-president) - Son of a Diet member - Regularly places in the top five in the National Mock Exams - Plans are already in place for him to continue his studies abroad
To be honest...
It doesn't seem like something that Taira-san would be... Suited for...
Athletics department, 2nd year - Chougahara Mai (Secretary) - This year's grand champion at the National Gymnastics Championships - Tea ceremony expert
The lead role? That's hilarious!
That sure must've come outta left field!
Performing arts department, 2nd year - Shikatani Urara (Treasurer) - Multitalented gal entertainer - Over a million followers on social media
This isn't a laughing matter.
The continued existence of the general education department is riding on this!
(Guess that's true~)
...Still, a lead role in a play, huh~?
Seems like the star himself is getting stage fright already...
And the prez isn't saying anything, either...
Don't tell me...
Is it like THAT, prez!?
(*Tmptmptmp...*)
*Snatch*
(*Duuuuuuuh...*)
(Aww, maaan...) I thought it'd be that trope where he turns totally hot when you take off his glasses...
(Sorryyyy, Taro-chin...)
(Taro-chin ->)
...Trope?
(I'm not quite sure I follow, but...)
...I'm sorry...
I suppose, when you get down to it,
a big part like the lead role just isn't appropriate for me...
I won't tell you you shouldn't do it, Taira...
But, as the saying goes, you should choose the right person for the right job.
The right person for the right job...
That's...
True, I guess...
I...
I'll go tell the Three Emperors I won't do it!
(*Shut...*)
Wait, please.
President...?
What is it?
You do not need to turn their suggestion down.
Huh...?
You can do it.
I am sure that Taira Tarou can do it.
(Huh...?) But...
A regular guy like me...
Um...
President...?
(My glasses...)
I *know* you can do it.
Tarou-kun.
...A...
All right...!
Paper: Saika Festival Special Committee Meeting Room (Authorized by the student council)
Blackboard: Regarding the gen-ed department's play
Seems like we've managed to get Yuu fully on board, which is good,
but we still need to work out how we're going to do this in practice...
[*Having a lunch meeting]
This is all 'cause you made that decision without botherin' to think ahead, Kazu-nee.
...Guh...
And anyway...
It's not like any of us have ever taken part in a cultural festival before.
...True enough...
Before, we were completely focused on our own careers,
so we didn't have time to think about things like school events. (Never mind something like a festival...)
Indeed.
I know that our festival is well-known for its grand scale, but...
Still, as special committee members, we are now obliged to participate.
I suppose I can take this opportunity to experience a "school festival" and use it to enhance my acting.
...By the way. Did you know?
I've heard...
That they do folk dancing at school festivals...
Dancing!?
(Why!?)
Y-you can invite a person you're interested in to dance with you...
Apparently, compared to dancing to foreign music,
there's something kind of mysterious about taking part in that sort of ritual-like dance in a big group...
I-I've even heard that there are many people who have started dating thanks to doing it...
(Shall we dance~?)
(...Weird tradition...)
...N-now that you mention it,
I was talkin' to some girls from my class earlier...
Apparently, if you go to the performing arts department's balcony on the last night of the festival,
and h-ha...
Have your *first kiss* there, you'll end up getting married in the future.
They said that a long time ago, a romantic play was performed there, and the two leads ended up gettin' married for real.
Seems like that's how the legend got started...
A... A legend...
Who cares about stuff like that!
(I'm sure it's just some silly myth!)
Y-yeah, I gueeeess~
Doesn't really sound all that reliable!
But...
...If you have your first kiss on the last night of the festival, you'll get married,
huh...
Nothing to do with me at this point, I suppose...
Nothing to do with you...?
Why'd you say that...?
Don't tell me...
Kazuki...
Kazu-nee...
You've...
Already kissed Yuu...?
Sidebar: Please refer to chapters 16 and 17 for details!
Thanks for reading! Busted...
We got some new information on the anime a few hours ago! It will start airing on Wednesday, July 9th, at half past midnight Japan time - in other words, a few hours before I usually make these threads (that's for TV broadcasts, not sure about streaming yet). There's also going to be a pre-screening on June 21st, in case anyone happens to be in Japan at that time.
No trailer this time, but we'll be getting weekly character PVs for the main cast, starting with Yuu about sixteen hours from now! The thread probably won't survive that long, but you never know.
This week's bonus image, commemorating the anime airing date reveal.
We hope you enjoy~
New character visuals for the anime
Bigger version
A picture to celebrate 1.5 million copies in circulation.
Thank you very much!
Ketchup: Hooray!
I'll make a guess and say that glasses here is secretly loved by the gyaru and black hair over here.
Honestly, I should have seen this after he seethed about Yuu's good looks. Also
Taro-chin
Presbros, she already gave him a nickname...
Thanks for the dump
7/9 airdate
My tuesdays are going to continue to be busy
Shall we dance in English
Kek.
Thanks for the dump, OP.
It's sad to think that this is Kazuki's last chance to experience it
Kek, they are squezzing the tropes in here.
Thx mate. Character reaffrimings their beliefs with more setup this time. Man, I can't wait to see how Kazuki will try to cover this up
in other words, a few hours before I usually make these threads
Neat to think we will have two Mikadono threads up at the same time in the future.
Cover for volume 14, out June 18th.
He looks so cuddly here.
I can't wait for all the fanart where he gets molested by Mikadono dad
Finally, a Mikadono thread that'll reach bump limit
I'm almost certain that the balcony kiss will end up going to pres and Taira, while Yuu will share some less glamorous moment with the sisters elsewhere
I'm expecting that too, and it's going to be sweet
Miwa's lunchbox has octopus wieners
lol
I'm glad they made a nod at the cliche, at least
I have faith that the anime is going to be good simply because Weekly Shonen Sunday is able to get studios or teams that can make great adaptations
Oly time I remember that happening was when I made a "how do we fix the effeminate romcom protagonist thread" with Yuu in the OP...
Not a big fan of the glowing knees
Here I am just glad that they didn't fuck up the faces
