Synopsis

After being forced to graduate from JPX48 following a controversial incident with a male fan, Ai Narata swears to never interact with another man ever again. Using her talents and strong desire to get away from men, Ai auditions for the exclusive all-female Kouka School of Musical and Theatrical Arts. The school is renowned for producing the best actresses that go on to perform in the famous all-female Kouka Theatre Troupe. Coming from the idol industry, Ai is the perfect candidate for the school's hundredth generation class, but her aloof demeanor alienates her from her classmates. The eccentric Sarasa Watanabe is the only person who wishes to become Ai's friend. She enters Kouka with the goal of becoming a top "otokoyaku" performer—an actress that plays traditionally male roles. After seeing a Kouka performance of The Rose of Versailles when she was younger, Sarasa dreams of performing as Lady Oscar one day. Unfortunately, Sarasa's inability to read a room causes friction between her and her classmates, including Ai, who reluctantly becomes her roommate and partner in many of their classes. Succeeding at Kouka will involve more than just raw talent for these young girls as jealousy, deceit, and the harsh realities of show business put their mental fortitude to the test. Will Sarasa and Ai be able to rise to the top and stand on the silver bridge? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

The ending to this series. It's a great ending, as we get to see Sarasa's version of Tybalt, the one she came up herself, something that she has been thinking over for the last 6 episodes. I do really like how the author writes subtle growth to the characters too, like how Ai is supporting Sarasa louder than before, and how Hijiri-senpai, despite still full of malice, seemed to warm up to the first years too, in her own way. Definitely a great ending to the show, especially after that ending where they told us why the character got the their place in the play.

We get another glimpse to Ayako's story. I do like that we get the star performance, but also have the underdog story too from her. The VA could act and also sing, which is such a wow factor. The story really does go all out, seeing a WLW representation here isn't shocking, but definitely welcomed. I also like how they keep ending on such a hype moment, there's always a hook for the next episode!

This episode gave such an interesting premise for the ending of the show where we get to see the first year try to get a part of a play. Seeing them wallow in their doubt, and having a moment of clarity is interesting. The visual at the end during Ai's audition play was awestruck, even if they're reused animation, it was timed perfectly. And also, prop to Sarasa's VA for having such wide range when trying to find the right way to show her auditioned character.
