Player Character

First, though, there's another important character to meet - you! Players take the role of the heroine, Izumi Tachibana (立花いづみ, Tachibana Izumi). This is a default name that can be changed. Having grown up watching watching her father direct at Mankai Company, Izumi used to be a stage actor but ended up quitting. Having ventured out to the rundown Mankai Theater once again, she’s suddenly tasked with revitalizing the company as its new director and supervisor, which won’t be an easy task.

Mankai Company Actors

As for the actors themselves, they're split into four different troupes themed around a season. Each troupe originally had five members (plus a few ensemble members), but Act 2 adds an actor to each, bringing the total to 24 for the main cast. Ages are given according to their official profiles, so those who joined in Act 1 will be a year older in Act 2. The majority are in their teens but there's still a fair variety of ages and occupations. Ready to meet them?

Spring Troupe

Sakuya Sakuma (佐久間咲也, Sakuma Sakuya)

Voice actor: Kodai Sakai
Age: 17
Birthday: Mar. 9
Height: 167 cm
Signature flower: Sakura

This third-year student at Hanasaki Gakuen is the very first member of Mankai Company’s new generation and the leader of the Spring Troupe. Although he still has a long way to go, Sakuya’s an undoubtably hard worker who puts his everything into practicing, having made it through auditions and into the Mankai Company dorms in order to escape from a difficult home.

Masumi Usui (碓氷真澄, Usui Masumi)

Voice actor: Yusuke Shirai
Age: 16
Birthday: Mar. 30
Height: 175 cm
Signature flower: Violet

Masumi is a second-year student at Hanasaki Gakuen who fell in love with you on the spot, thus starting his journey with Mankai Company. In spite of his cool appearance, he’s not afraid to express his feelings to you. He also has a natural gift for acting and remembering lines, which he channels solely into attempting to be noticed by you - meaning he can be a bit of a handful for the other actors.

Tsuzuru Minagi (皆木綴, Minagi Tsuzuru)

Voice actor: Kotaro Nishiyama
Age: 18
Birthday: Apr. 9
Height: 180 cm
Signature flower: Dandelion

A first-year student at Hasei University, before entering Mankai Company Tsuzuru was tasked with taking care of a whopping seven younger brothers. Now, he lives in Mankai Company’s dorms and juggles his studies with his acting career and part-time jobs even as he dreams of becoming a scriptwriter.

Itaru Chigasaki (茅ヶ崎至, Chigasaki Itaru)

Voice actor: Shintaro Asanuma
Age: 23
Birthday: Apr. 24
Height: 178 cm
Signature flower: Gerbera

A trusted figure at his day job at an elite company as well as Mankai Company, Itaru is the epitome of dependable. However, as the game progresses you’ll find an unexpected side behind his prince-like appearance.

Citron (シトロン, Shitoron)

Voice actor: Masashi Igarashi
Age: 22
Birthday: May 15
Height: 177 cm
Signature flower: Jasmine

Citron is a man full of mysteries - although he claims to be a foreign exchange student who had no place to stay, it’s difficult to tell what the real story is. It doesn’t help that he often confuses words due to Japanese not being his native language. Nevertheless, he’s working actively to better his acting and Japanese skills and is a huge influence on the atmosphere of the Spring Troupe.

Chikage Utsuki (卯木千景, Utsuki Chikage)

Voice actor: Wataru Hatano
Age: 26 (Act 2)
Birthday: Apr. 15
Height: 183 cm
Signature flower: Lily of the valley

Like Itaru, the Spring Troupe’s newest recruit has come from a day job at the same company. Although he’s a friendly guy, Chikage also has no compulsions about lying to others with a smile. Not to mention, he has his share of secrets, some of which you’ll find out after he joins Mankai Company…

Summer Troupe

Tenma Sumeragi (皇天馬, Sumeragi Tenma)

Voice actor: Takuya Eguchi
Age: 16
Birthday: Jun. 21
Height: 178 cm
Signature flower: Sunflower

Second-year Ouka Academy student and Summer Troupe leader Tenma has youth and confidence in equal shares. His past as an acting prodigy with two movie star parents has made him rather arrogant (and unable to make hardly any friends), but a hidden weakness led him to transition from a movie career to Mankai Company and the stage.

Yuki Rurikawa (璃川幸, Rurikawa Yuki)

Voice actor: Shunichi Toki
Age: 14
Birthday: Jul. 8
Height: 165 cm
Signature flower: Lily

A third-year student at St. Flora Middle School, Yuki’s cute appearance contrasts sharply with his words, as he is unafraid to speak his mind regardless of age and status. However, his experience with being bullied for his looks and hobbies means that he won't hesitate to stand up for his friends. His career at Mankai Company includes not just acting, but also costuming (his initial reason for joining).

Muku Sakisaka (向坂椋, Sakisaka Muku)

Voice actor: Yoshitaka Yamaya
Age: 14
Birthday: Aug. 30
Height: 167 cm
Signature flower: Chinese bellflower

Also a third-year student at St. Flora, Muku used to be a star in the track and field team, raising the question of why he joined Mankai Company. His pure personality fits perfectly with his love for shoujo manga, with the genre’s prince-type heroes being a model for his actions. However, his behaviour can also get a bit out of hand due to his tendency to react drastically to worst-case scenarios that he himself imagined.

Misumi Ikaruga (斑鳩三角, Ikaruga Misumi)

Voice actor: Daisuke Hirose
Age: 19
Birthday: Jun. 6
Height: 175 cm
Signature flower: Dahlia

Misumi is a part-time worker with the rather unusual hobby of collecting - wait for it - triangular objects. His overall presence is just as mysterious but he’s also pure-hearted and constantly full of energy, not to mention gifted physically, a useful asset for any actor.

Kazunari Miyoshi (三好一成, Miyoshi Kazunari)

Voice actor: Ren Ozawa
Age: 19
Birthday: Aug. 1
Height: 176 cm
Signature flower: Hibiscus

This popular young actor is a second-year student at an art university and actually used to go to the same high school as Tsuzuru of the Spring Troupe. As one would expect of such a trendy figure, Miyoshi’s hobby is listed as posting on social media and scuba diving. Nevertheless, he’s not one to discriminate and is happy to reach out to anyone with a smile. His talent in graphic design has also earned him the role of designing Mankai Company’s website and flyers.

Kumon Hyodo (兵頭九門, Hyōdō Kumon)

Voice actor: Tasuku Hatanaka
Age: 16 (Act 2)
Birthday: Jul. 20
Height: 173 cm
Signature flower: Morning glory

A second-year student at Tsukushi High School, Hyodo’s reason for joining Mankai Company is simple: so he won’t be too far apart from his beloved big brother Juza. He’s also the cousin of fellow Summer Troupe actor Muku. Cheerful and full of energy (no surprise for a former member of the baseball club) yet also thoughtful and a good communicator, it’s hard not to love this new addition to the troupe.

Autumn Troupe

Banri Settsu (摂津万里, Settsu Banri)

Voice actor: Chiharu Sawashiro
Age: 17
Birthday: Sept. 9
Height: 183 cm
Signature flower: Cosmos

Be it study or sports, Hanasaki High School second-year student and Autumn Troupe leader Banri is one of those people who can achieve anything and everything without breaking a sweat - except for victory against his fellow troupe member, Juza. Having lost a fight against him, Banri joined Mankai Company for another chance at facing off, one of the few blips in his life in “easy mode”.

Juza Hyodo (兵頭十座, Hyōdō Jūza)

Voice actor: Shunsuke Takeuchi
Age: 17
Birthday: Sept. 27
Height: 185 cm
Signature flower: Cluster amaryllis

Look familiar? Juza is the big brother of Summer Troupe’s Kumon and the cousin of Muku. This tough lone wolf actually has a sweeter side - literally, since he loves sweets, which he keeps a secret from even his family. He’s also wanted to act since he was little, but he never made it into any of the school plays, having scared off everyone around him. In his third year at Oka High School, he managed to qualify for Mankai Company despite his lousy acting.

Taichi Nanao (七尾太一, Nanao Taichi)

Voice actor: Kento Hama
Age: 16
Birthday: Oct. 11
Height: 172 cm
Signature flower: Pansy

Taichi’s reason for joining Mankai Company is simple - to get popular with girls, which explains his hobby of reading advice columns on love in fashion magazines. Always hyper and quick to become friendly with people, this Ouka second-year student is often compared to a dog. Naturally, he isn’t scared off by more intimidating troupe members like Banri and Juza either.

Omi Fushimi (伏見臣, Fushimi Omi)

Voice actor: Kentaro Kumagai
Age: 20
Birthday: Nov. 2
Height: 190 cm
Signature flower: Carnation

If anyone could be called the mother of the troupe, it would be Omi, having honed his housework skills in an all-male family of four. His delicious meals and sweet treats keep everyone in Mankai Company well satisfied, a far cry from his days as the strongest delinquent back home. He’s now a third-year student and a member of the photography club at Hasei University.

Sakyo Furuichi (古市左京, Furuichi Sakyō)

Voice actor: Yuichi Hose
Age: 30
Birthday: Nov. 23
Height: 178 cm
Signature flower: Chrysanthemum

Sakyo stands out among his fellow actors not only because of his age, but also for being a yakuza who’s unusually knowledgable about the history of Mankai Company. For a certain reason, after attempting to destroy its theater he instead became an actor and also began to use his accounting talent for the good of the company.

Azami Izumida (泉田莇, Izumida Azami)

Voice actor: Seiya Konishi
Age: 14 (Act 2)
Birthday: Oct. 25
Height: 179 cm
Signature flower: Thistle

Azami is still a third-year student at Tanegaoka Middle School, but he’s no stranger to the world of yakuza, also being the only son of the head of Ginsenkai (the organization that Sakyo works for). However, he ran away from home after his father found out about his dreams of becoming a makeup artist. Behind his cool exterior, he may actually have quite a naive side to him.

Winter Troupe

Tsumugi Tsukioka (月岡紬, Tsukioka Tsumugi)

Voice actor: Atsushi Tamaru
Age: 24
Birthday: Dec. 28
Height: 175 cm
Signature flower: Narcissus

Private tutor Tsumugi used to be part of a theater company when he was a student with Tasuku but a certain incident caused him to give up on becoming an actor. In the end he couldn’t abandon his dreams completely, leading him to Mankai Company. Although he’s the leader of the Winter Troupe, he has a mild personality and is even somewhat timid.

Tasuku Takato (高遠丞, Takatō Tasuku)

Voice actor: Takuya Sato
Age: 24
Birthday: Feb. 22
Height: 185 cm
Signature flower: Orchid

Unlike most of his current peers, Tasuku was a professional actor before joining Mankai Company - in top theater troupe God Seat, no less. Although he’s a hard worker and talented actor, this stoic young man can actually be quite clumsy with normal conversations. He also used to participate in the same theater club as Tsumugi. However, Tasuku still resents Tsumugi strongly, due to the latter temporarily giving up on his dreams of becoming an actor.

Hisoka Mikage (御影密, Mikage Hisoka)

Voice actor: Junta Terashima
Age: 25
Birthday: Dec. 3
Height: 170 cm
Signature flower: Anemone

With no memory of his past and true identity, Hisoka’s life is a mystery. He was taken in by Mankai Company after being found collapsed in front of the theater. A man of few words, he has the tendency to fall asleep anywhere and at any time. Despite all this, though, he undoubtedly possesses acting talent.

Homare Arisugawa (有栖川誉, Arisugawa Homare)

Voice actor: Toshiyuki Toyonaga
Age: 27
Birthday: Feb. 2
Height: 181 cm
Signature flower: Rose

You’d expect that Homare has been gifted with finely honed artistic sense, being a literal poet. Well, he does, but not in the way that a normal person would expect, because it veers way off into extremes. One example is his tendency to read out the ridiculously passionate poems he thinks of when inspiration strikes. Despite all this, though, he takes good care of those around him.

Azuma Yukishiro (雪白東, Yukishiro Azuma)

Voice actor: Tetsuya Kakihara
Age: ??
Birthday: Jan. 22
Height: 178 cm
Signature flower: Camellia

No one seems to know how old Azuma is, but there’s a distinct maturity and calmness about him. His sense of beauty is one of his main traits, as well as taking life at his own pace. He’s said to have many “patrons”, a hint at his past line of work.

Guy (ガイ, Gai)

Voice actor: Satoshi Hino
Age: ??
Birthday: Jan. 13
Height: 183 cm
Signature flower: Ranunculus

Standing out as the newest actor of the Winter Troupe and another member from overseas, Guy is actually in Japan thanks to Citron, being his former attendant. Overall, he doesn’t seem to have much emotional awareness, even describing himself as an “android”.

Mankai Company Manager

In your quest to rebuild Mankai Company, you'll be assisted by Isuke Matsukawa (松川伊助, Matsukawa Isuke), who has been struggling to keep Mankai Company afloat. Often referred to as “the manager," Isuke’s shabby appearance hardly suggests that he’s a reliable figure - in fact, he’s the main reason for Mankai Company’s huge debts. However, he does genuinely care for the group.
