I feel rather drained since we entered May. It's not like I want to take a long break, but it's just, I feel like I don't really have the energy to do anything. Oh, well. I guess this much is fine since we have someone who slacks off all year long in the dorm. | |||
The other day, I couldn't concentrate on work at all because those guys were so noisy. But the weather was so nice that I wanted to just laze around in my room. I didn't do that, though. Instead, I decided to do my homework in the courtyard, before Misumi caught me and dragged me outside. | |||
Several other guys and I were forced to go look for a cat in our neighbourhood that went missing. After nearly two hours of looking, we found it safe and sound here. | |||

Citron sent us a photo on LIME saying, "Afternoon nap with an angel♪" (decrypted). The cat in that photo looked exactly the same as the cat we were looking for. | |||
I made a new collar with a name tag for the cat after that. While I had less time to do my homework due to that, it was a nice change of pace. I got to exercise too that way, and the cat was cute. | |||

Sakyo Furuichi of Autumn Troupe here.
Happy New Year.
As you can see from the picture above, we had a lively new year. Citron said on our group chat that he really wanted to hold a mochi pounding party, and because of that, some of us returned to the dorm just to participate in that event.
Even though the party was held so suddenly, the preparation went surprisingly well--from the signboard to the kimono. Now that I think about it again, perhaps we all had arranged it from the beginning in case Citron brought it up.
Now that we have learned a taste of this event, I feel like we're going to hold it again next year.
...That aside, Miyoshi suggested for me to attach a picture and give some "casual, pop-style" updates to you all for our New Year greeting. I tried to do it, but it didn't suit me and made me uncomfortable.
It might be a little stiff, but I want to wrap up this properly.
Once again, Happy New Year. Thank you all for your support last year. We intend to actively deliver plays this year as well, so please keep supporting us.

Hello, everyone! Muku Sakisaka from Summer Troupe here!
First things first, Happy New Year. I'm sorry it took me a while to say this!
This year, I'll continue to do my very best so that you all will come watch our shows!
These days, we've been trying a lot of things to make ourselves known to more people, like holding an IB Live stream, handing out free newspapers about our theater troupe and so on.
We've also been trying to come up with an idea that you all, who have been supporting us all this time, can enjoy.
And so... For our relay blog this year, we've decided to do an art shiritori! We all made up the rules ourselves which are:
You can only draw with black pen.
You can only look at the previous poster's drawing until the last update is posted.
We decided on the order by lottery and...
Never would have I thought I'd be the first one!
There's a special rule for the first person, and that is...
You have to draw "something that you like".
Hearing that, I decided what I wanted to draw right away.
How is it...? I'm sure everyone in the company likes this as well!
With that, I'm going to hand the baton to the next person.
Hope Hisoka-san knows what I mean...!
Hisoka Mikage from Winter Troupe here.
I looked at Muku's drawing and got told to participate in the same, so I gave it a try.
...It's easy to understand Muku's drawing.
He kept saying how worried he was that the next person wouldn't be able to tell, but...
I'm more worried about the next poster's drawing.
It wasn't as bad as how Muku would be when he's worried, so it's fine.
The answer must be that. That's why I drew this.
I saw a lot of these since the New Year.
Who's the next poster again...
Well, he should be able to understand what it is... I think.

Juza Hyodo of Autumn Troupe here.
I'm chosen to be the third drawer in this art shiritori game.
Looking at Hisoka-san's drawing, I think I have an idea what it is.
But the problem is, even if I try drawing what comes to my mind,
I doubt I can draw it well. I don't know what I should draw.
Then, I remember when we discussed this art shiritori game, we decided that the first poster had to draw "something that they like".
Assuming it'd be easier to draw something that I like, I decided to draw this.
...It might not look like the real thing, but I feel like I put enough details into this drawing.
Itaru-san is the next poster, right? I'm sure he will get it.
Hello. Itaru Chigasaki from Spring Troupe here.
I was chosen to be the fourth drawer in our art shiritori game.
...With that said, I took a look at Juza's drawing. It was harder than I thought.
I figured I could get a clue if I looked at Muku and Hisoka's drawings as well, but that's against the rules.
Looking at it again, I guess it might be food? Judging from the plate and all.
Now that I think about it again, Juza often eats that secretly late at night...
Though this art shiritori has somewhat turned into an absolutely-impossible-to-beat kind of game, I'm sure the answer must be that...Therefore, I drew this.
Cheating? No, I'm not. This is a part of my strategy.
This is an art shiritori game. It's not only about connecting words to words.
We also have to make sure other players understand what w draw.
Speaking of which, Juza doesn't put any titles again, huh.
While I like that side of him, I figured I'd put something in the title or else that person will get mad once he reads this post.
I'm looking forward to see how the next drawer connects this.

Taichi Nanao of Autumn Troupe here!
I know this is kinda late but HNY~ (≧▽≦)
Please keep supporting me, Autumn Troupe, and MANKAI Company!
Now, let's go straight ahead to out art shiritori game!
I've been waiting for my turn to come all this time (^o^)v
...Yet, Itaru-san basically cheated with his drawing, didn't he!?
I never thought he'd draw a one-letter thing...![1]
While I'm grateful that he drew something that I could understand easily,
I wished he drew something more difficult~! (>_<)
Anyway, without any problem whatsoever, this is my drawing!
It came out really good, I'm so proud of it!
Try to guess it as well, guys! Oh, and I'll be grateful if you can leave a comment on my drawing!
Next up is my great teacher whom I can't live without!
He always helps me study with his super nice explanations!
Don't close the page! Scroll down to see his post~!
Hello. Tsumugi Tsukioka from Winter Troupe here.
Are you all having fun with our art shiritori game?
While I'm only allowed to look at Taichi-kun's drawing this time around, I can't wait to see the others' drawings once this is all done.
By the way, Taichi-kun is really good at drawing, huh.
It looks kind of adorable it made me smile.
It also kind of put a pressure on me, but I did my best to draw.
Without further ado, this is my drawing.
I tried to make it as easy to understand as possible. What do you think...?
I hope both the next poster and you guys can guess it correctly.
Next up is an energetic boy who loves his brother so much.
Look forward to tomorrow's update.
That's all from me, Tsumugi Tsukioka of Winter Troupe.

Kumon Hyodo from Summer Troupe here!
I'm so happy I get to participate in the relay blog early this time! I'm usually in the later group, you see.
I also can't wait to see the others' drawings, especially Nii-chan's~!
Let's go straight to our art shiritori game!
Tsumugi-san's drawing is so soft and cute and super healing! (^^)
It's very understandable too, of course!
After much thinking about what I should draw, I chose this! Ta-dah!
Is it too simple? But what's important here is to make sure the next person gets what we draw!
I like mixing this with coffee, and Nii-chan loves the strawberry flavor.
How about you guys? Tell me if you have any recommended flavors!
With that said, the next person after me is really fit and super passionate about acting☆
Scroll down to read the post!
Tasuku Takato of Winter Troupe here.
We've entered the fourth day of the art shiritori game, do you have any ideas of the drawings that have been posted so far?
Still, I still can't believe we're doing an art shiritori for our relay blog...
I figured I should just see this as a way to take a break.
In any case, I'm thankful Hyodo Jr. drew something I could understand easily.
It tastes great when you drink it after a bath.
Now, this is what I drew.
It should be easy, but because it's not simply a round thing I had quite a hard time drawing this.
This is a kind of food that's good to prevent heatstroke due to its amount of salt.
The next person's Japanese is somewhat strange, but he loves Japan.
I'm kind of worried if he'll get this...

Hello.
Tsuzuru Minagi from Spring Troupe here.
Playing art shiritori through relay blog sure is interesting, huh.
I hope you also have fun like us.
Moving on, Ikaruga-san's drawing is...
Just what is going on in this picture?
His usual character has such a great presence here...
Though that shouldn't be a problem since I get what he drew.
With that being said, here's my drawing.
Is this easy to understand?
I do hope it's easy to understand.
Sorry, Fushimi-san! I leave the rest to you.
Hello, Omi Fushimi from Autumn Troupe here.
Looks like our art shiritori has gotten livelier, huh.
I can't wait 'til the day comes when we're allowed to look at the others' drawings. I barely know what they drew.
While I was thankful Tsuzuru drew something easy, I was stuck between two choices...
I could only follow my intuition for now since I wasn't allowed to look at the others' drawings beside Tsuzuru's.
I'm not that confident in drawing, but I hope the next poster gets what it is...
Feel free to try and take a guess too, guys.
The next update will be posted by someone who has a dual role in this company and has been supporting the troupe with his dexterity and great sense.
Look forward to tomorrow's update.

Yuki Rurikawa from Summer Troupe here.
I know it's a little bit different than our previous relay blogs, but are you guys having fun with it?
While I'm pretty much used to drawing due to all the designs I work on, most of the guys here are not.
I guess you can say we all have quite a hard time, though despite that, I can somewhat tell they are having fun.
In any case, I'm glad Omi drew something easy to understand yesterday.
It's not exactly cute but at least it's not too abstract either.
Now, here's my drawing.
What do you think? It's cute, right?
I have some answers in mind, but at the end of the day, I prefer drawing something cute.
That's all from me.
Next up will be Masumi. Bye bye.
Masumi Usui from Spring Troupe here.
Playing art shiritori through relay blogs is just too weird.
But I tried giving my all in drawing since Director said she's interested in this.
It's not like I'm super good at drawing, but I'm somewhat confident I drew much better than those guys.
You should be able to tell who I'm referring to by looking at the posts.
...And 1 of them just so happens to be posting the next update tomorrow.

In this severe winter...
It appears that I, Homare Arisugawa from Winter Troupe, have kept you all waiting.
I wrote this post as the warmth from the kotatsu ran through my limbs.
Moving on to our relay blog this year, "Art Shiritori"...
Never would I have thought they'd come up with something that's perfect for me.
As some of you may have already known, my main occupation is a writer. Despite that, I plan to enjoy every kind of art on a daily basis.
It was never my intention to announce it in this way, but I think this is what you call fate.
In any case...Hmm...
Masumi-kun's drawing is too easy to understand. That is to be expected, though.
He is someone who enjoys art in the form of music.
Now, I shall try to connect the piece.
Oh my. It seems I spent too much time in the introduction.
Now, without delaying it any longer, please enjoy my drawing to your heart's content.
I shall pass the baton to the next person.
I'm counting on you, Azami-kun.
Azami Izumida from Autumn Troupe here.
"I'm counting on you," my butt.
What the heck is this drawing???
And where in the hell did you get all the confidence to show something like this...
I somewhat have an idea what it is. But since I don't have any hints at all, I'm not 100% sure.
I don't know if this is right or not but lemme try to interpret his drawing and answer from there.
I guess this kind of thing happens a lot in shiritori?
Oh well, even if I'm wrong, this totes ain't my fault. At all.
The next person is someone who's good at magic.
See you next time.

Chikage Utsuki from Spring Troupe here.
I can't believe we're doing an art shiritori for our first blog posts of the year.
Just the day before yesterday, I saw Azami drawing something while looking like he had a massive headache...
As much as I wanted to take a look, it was against the rules so I just left him alone.
Then, after looking at what he drew, this is my drawing.
I didn't have any problems whatsoever since his drawing was pretty easy to understand.
I'm sure the next person would get it as well.
I hope we could make use of the teamwork we've built through escape games.
I'm counting on you, Banri.
Banri Settsu from Autumn Troupe here.
Man...Chikage-san, the way you passed the baton just now was so original.
Well, it's true that sometimes we've gotta answer riddles by drawing whenever we go play escape games...
And that person always draws unrecognisable things.
So I guess you can say I'm kinda used to it.
Am I really, though?
Anyway, here's my drawing.
It's much easier to understand than Chikage-san's drawing, right?
Bet the others will get it as well.
Look forward to our next update.
Bye.

Thank you for your support all this time!
Sakuya Sakuma from Spring Troupe here!
Are you guys having fun with our art shiritori game...?
Today is my turn, and even though I'm a little bit nervous to draw, I'll do my best!
I could not see the others' drawings beside Banri-kun's, and when I looked at it...
It made me go like, "Wow, even his way of thinking is so cool! That's Banri-kun for you!"
I tried hard to make my drawing be understandable as well.
I have a lot of things I could draw to connect the piece, but in the end, I decided to draw this in hopes that this company could move forward by stepping into the unknown worlds.
Even this project is one of our new challenges, which I believe will be the key to enter the future.
...Oops, did I write too much?
I hope the next person gets what I drew...
Now, let's pass the baton to him!
Sakyo Furuichi from Autumn Troupe here.
The art shiritori project is approaching its end soon.
Based on the rule of this game, I'm not allowed to see other posts beside Sakuma's.
Because of that, there might be some awful posts being uploaded to the blog during this time. Please bear with it.
Sakuma's drawing is not only easy to understand, but it's also filled with hopes.
He sure said some pretty great things there.
Thus, in order to realise that wish, we, MANKAI Company, would like to challenge more things in the future.
However, while Sakuma's drawing is easy to understand, it's hard to guess the exact word he drew.
Thinking what it most likely is, I decided to draw this.
I'll check whether I could successfully connect the piece when the project comes to an end.
I see, the next person is that guy.
In that case, I'm sure he will get what this drawing is.

Guy from Winter Troupe here.
I see the title of my relay blog post this year is longer than usual.
Citronia said I'd get what he wrote if I give it some thought. Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to, I didn't understand at all.
Moving on to our art shiritori...
One thing came to my mind the moment I looked at Furuichi's drawing.
He made a nice choice to draw the dots to represent the overall ambience.
Without further ado, this is my drawing.
I hope my drawing is easy to understand since I'm not someone who draws on a daily basis...
Now, I shall entrust this to the next person, a beloved leader who tries his best in both acting and school.
Tenma Sumeragi from Summer Troupe here.
Our art shiritori project is coming to an end soon.
Just like everyone else, I wasn't allowed to take a look at the others' drawings beside Guy-san's. While a part of me wants to see them as soon as possible, I also have a little bit of hesitation about that...
Putting that aside, don't you think Guy-san's drawing is just too good?
It looks real and delicious.
I'm glad it wasn't something confusing.
Because I can't make a mistake here, I gave my all and drew this.
I'm pretty satisfied with this, though I'm sure it'll be easier to understand if I can color it.
You guys probably already have an idea who's going to post next since we only have 2 members left...
It's someone who has sex appeal in our company. Do you know who it is?
Thanks for reading.
Enjoy our project until the end.

Today is the last day of our relay blog.
It's kind of sad to see it ending, but please enjoy it until the end. We all are looking forward to see our answers, after all.
Now then, moving on to Tenma's drawing...
I'm a little bit lost whether I should just see it as it is or twist it a little.
Since this is the straightforward and hardworking Tenma we're talking about, he must have thought really hard about what to draw.
Putting that into consideration, I drew this.
It's time to pass the baton to the last person...

Hello. This is Winter troupe’s Tsukioka Tsumugi.
The number of warm days has started to increase, and it feels like the arrival of spring.
When spring comes, I feel relieved, and I feel at ease…
It’s a pretty mysterious season, isn’t it?
On the topic of spring.
I saw a very beautiful spring view the other day.
The title is: “Spring’s Triangle △”
By the way, Misumi-kun named it.
…Everyone, did you all wonder “who took this picture”?
The photographer was, of course, yours truly.
Summer troupe’s Kazunari-kun patiently explained everything to me, from the camera app, to tips on how to shoot the photo.
Reflecting the canola flowers in the foreground, and linking Misumi-kun’s triangle with the mountain in the background…
All of it was directed by Kazunari-kun.
All I did was simply hold my smartphone and press the shutter button…
But I feel like I kind of got the hang of it!
The cherry blossoms will be in full bloom in a month or so, so I will be practicing in order to take lots of pretty pictures of them.
Well then, it’s been Winter troupe’s Tsukioka Tsumugi.

Winter Troupe, Guy here.
We just had an event at a theme park the other day. Thank you to everyone who made the journey to see us.
For this performance we took on the challenge of performing in full professional make up. As always, Azami’s make up skills did not disappoint and went above and beyond any and all expectations.
This collaboration was to promote a new line of eye shadow. We each showed off the various colours such as violet, wine, cassis, and lime. I am sure one would easily be able to find a colour that would suit them.
I took this event as a chance to study more about make up. I would be happy to know that everyone else enjoyed the performance as well.
Rurikawa is the one who designed our costumes that were a mix of white and blue tones to fit the theme of White Day. I am also offering a limited time exclusive cocktail and juice at my bar for White Day. I hope everyone can visit.

Summer Troupe’s Tenma Sumeragi.
Lately, I’ve been busy with filming and to be honest, I haven’t found the time to update on the blog nor did I have anything to talk about anyway. So, I wanted to get someone else’s thoughts on the matter and... Kazunari said “Make something up then”.
And while I was thinking about it...
Kazunari shouted “Botamochi[7] Party!”
It’s popular on Inste apparently? I was a little cautious at first, but Omi-san helped out with making them.
And so after a long and tiring photoshoot, Alice-san brought some tea and we drank it with the botamochi. I heard Azuma-san provided the tea leaves.
Thanks to the botamochi party, I actually had something to write about for this blog post. So I guess I’ll forgive them this time since I was able to eat the botamochi too. I’ve also been too busy with work to notice just how much Spring has been blossoming in so far, but I could feel it this time around.
The season’s changing, everyone please take care of yourselves.
Thank you for reading.

Our performances for our 9th mixed play ‘Senribana Monogatari’ have finished! I am so thankful to everyone for your support.
I am sure many people already know, but I was actually born and raised in The Kingdom of Zahra.
It is country where the sea is blue, the night sky is purple, and the white jasmine fields are beautiful.
Those are all things I love about Zahra and the things I feel are the pride of my country.
However, there have been days when I have yearned to see something beyond my tiny island.
I would read guide books, maps, picture books, and watch foreign programmes and movies on TV. Even if it was only for a short while, I let my imagination run wild as I yearned for those places far far away.
I will never forget the first time I came to Japan. It took all my courage to leave everything behind and take the leap into the unknown. I will always remember the smell of the fresh air, the pink of the sakura blossoms, and the beauty of the blue sky.
What I felt was more than just the realisation of my yearning for a land overseas. I felt something more. Something I could only describe as a feeling greater than anyone could have ever imagined. From my homeland, all of things I had seen and read were always confined to the edges of my television or the pages of my books. I could have never imagined how big the world really was until I took those first steps outside of my homeland. I was a small fish in a big pond and at last I could experience all the things that movies and books could never show me.
I was reminded of my first experience abroad through this performance. I would like to express my gratitude once again for all of the support I received from my beloved friends and family with which allowed me to come to Japan. It feel truly loved with all of your support.
I hope our performance has inspired all who came, especially the children of Zahra who will shape our country's future. I am happy to have had this opportunity to support the dreams of others.

Spring Troupe’s Usui Masumi.
It was a holiday today so the whole dorm was noisy and full of people.
But the weather was nice and felt good, so I used my headphones to reduce the noise and took a nap in the courtyard.
But I could still hear Citron and Kazunari’s ridiculously loud voices even then.
When I woke up after that, it was close to evening, and it seemed like I slept better than I thought I would.
I felt refreshed, but I felt like something was off for some reason. And when I looked around, none of the other guys were there except Hisoka who was sleeping on the bench.
It was finally quiet so I thought I would go back to sleep, but a weird picture was sent to the LIME’s group chat.
Apparently… The guys who were free went for a drive to a seaside town. Citron was so excited about the port view that he was about to climb over the bridge, and Tasuku was trying his best to stop him.
They’re noisy guys, even in photos.

Hello. Yuki Rurikawa form Summer Troupe's here.
I feel rather drained since we entered May. It's not like I want to take a long break, but it's just, I feel like I don't really have the energy to do anything. Oh, well. I guess this much is fine since we have someone who slacks off all year long in the dorm.
The other day, I couldn't concentrate on work at all because those guys were so noisy. But the weather was so nice that I wanted to just laze around in my room. I didn't do that, though. Instead, I decided to do my homework in the courtyard, before Misumi caught me and dragged me outside.
Several other guys and I were forced to go look for a cat in our neighbourhood that went missing. After nearly two hours of looking, we found it safe and sound here.
Citron sent us a photo on LIME saying, "Afternoon nap with an angel♪" (decrypted). The cat in that photo looked exactly the same as the cat we were looking for.
I made a new collar with a name tag for the cat after that. While I had less time to do my homework due to that, it was a nice change of pace. I got to exercise too that way, and the cat was cute.
