You’ll probably be offended at a lot of the dialogs in this play, though they are there to show how much of a bastard the main character is, they didn’t have to be so realistically chauvinist. lol
That said, this is a weird story based on a French movie, “Dis-moi Oui”. I haven’t watched it but a friend who watched both mentioned the movie is worse. In any case, this is just how Takarazuka likes, the story deep down is soooo wrong and they apply makeup to make you think “Well, it’s not so bad.” So, a lot of you will say I’m exaggerating.
Why is that the first thing I say?
Anyway, I actually like this. It’s a bit of a comedy, a bit of a drama, a bit of “Oh my God, Tomu-gumi was soooo good!” And this is your chance to see Tomu, Eritan, Maakun, Daimon and Kiki (plus small Maitii and Yuunami Kei) all together in the same play. This only happened this once.
But it’s not only the oyokoyaku cast, the female characters are supreme too, Kayou Kirari, Mebuki Yukina, Ichika, Juria, and of course, Ran-chan, they’re all very good characters. With an addition of Senna Ayase’s singing near the end.
Notice that this translation was done aurally, plus this was among the first shows I subbed, so even though I have revised it, the style is already quite different from how I work nowadays, for better or for worse.

This show has so many trigger warnings I kept procrastinating making the release just from thinking. Be aware of blackface (including one of the main characters), Nazism, like lots of Nazism, lots of heil hitler, use of gun violence too, mention of sexual violence… the list would probably be longer hadn’t I taken this long to write this.
That said, the cast is wonderful! Yuuhi is sooooo sooooo sooooo pretty in this! And we have As Time Goes by playing every ten minutes. A lot of Sora babies getting their lines too.
I did think thinking of my non-Zuka fan friends, because sometimes they’d learn there is a Takarazuka adaptation of the movie and ask me about it. I even watched this with one of them without subs once. It’s unfortunately a long show, but my friend liked it. lol
I can’t believe I got this far without mentioning Tomu.
