Live Drama Adaptation of Yuri Manga 'Young Ladies Don't Play Fight Games' Releases New Trailer Featuring Street Fighter V

On April 28, Japanese streaming service Lemino released a new trailer for its live-action adaptation of Eri Ejima's comedy Yuri manga Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games (Tai Ari Deshita. ~Ojо̄-sama wa Kakutо̄ Gēmu Nante Shinai~). The trailer featured its characters, students at an upper-class all-girls school, secretly competing in a Street Fighter V tournament, and previews the show's theme song, Atarashii Gakkou no Leader's "Seishu wo Kirisaku Hado."

Young Ladies Don't Play Fight Games follows Aya Mitsuki, a transfer student attending Kuromi Girls' Academy, a refined, elegant school.

Hoping to blend in, Aya leaves behind her past obsession with fighting games to become a proper young lady. But when she discovers that the school's idol, Shirayuri, shares her secret obsession with fighting games. Despite video games being banned at Kuromi Girls' Academy, Aya quickly finds herself dragged back into the world of gaming and tournaments thanks to her new rival, Shirayuri.

Ryoma Ouchida directs the drama alongside scriptwriter Anna Kawahara. The series stars:

Mizuki Kayashima as Aya Mitsuki

Ririka Tanabe as Mio Yorue/Shirayuri

Akana Ikeda as Yuu Inui

Riko Nagase as Tamaki Ichinose

Additional cast includes Aina Yamada, Mei Tanaka, Myra Arai, Mone Akitani, and Asuka Kawatoko. The series is set to debut in Japan on May 19 and will run for eight episodes.

The original Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games manga began serialization in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Flapper in January 2020. It notably includes Yuri undertones between Aya and Shirayuri and often uses and parodies tropes from school Yuri and shoujo manga. Seven Seas licenses the series in English and will release the fifth volume on May 23.

An anime adaptation of Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games was announced in January 2021.

charater dumping (PT 1)

Soo.....it's summer for me now (YIPPE!)

Imma share some old and now updated charaters of mine that I'm going to use in a new rp with my rp group!

Note: before I can show you the characters, I'll need to explain the plot their in.

This takes place in the MHA (my hero academia) universe. However, being a hero is not the center on the story. In fact, besides pro heros, I'm pretty sure that's all these charaters have related with the setting

Continuing on, during this time, Japan was separated into two: the poor and the rich. They hated each other's guts.

Until one day, the rich open up a fight club, and gather the most powerful pro heros from the poor and rich side and make them fight to the death. If the rich side wins, the rich will publicly execute some of the poor people. If the poor people win, then they live for another day!

Okay, yall understand the basics of it. (If u guys have any questions about the plot feel free to ask.

Anyway, introducing the characters that will be featured in my future rp I'm doing!

MIZUKI YAMADA

Mizuki is on the rich people side, as she is part of a rich family.

Absolute adrenaline junkie. She's not actually supposed to go down to the fight club, but since she can't participate in it, she likes to watch

Mizuki's Quirk, Burst of Rage (B.O.R for short) uses her blood, Mizuki has blood colored fingertips because of her Quirk

Amoung the rich side of Japan, people label Mizuki as rather too boyish for a lady. As Mizuki is loud, outspoken, and brutally honest, she's herself, and she will not apologize for it.

Mizuki does have a twin sister! However, Mizuki has more darker eyes and has streaks in her hair unlike her sister.

HANAKO YAMADA

This here is Hanako, Mizuki's twin!

Again, like Mizuki, Hanako is on the rich side of Japan

Hanako's Quirk E.O.R (eyes of Reflection) mainly needs Hanako's eyes to work. Because of this, this has lead Hanako to be partially blind

Hanako Is treated more like a fragile object than a teenage girl in the rich sociery, which she hates. Hanako understands that she may need help considering she's partially blind, but that didn't mean the other rich people should treat her differently

Depsite looking quite shy, Hanako is actually pretty laid back and empathetic, she's willing to listen out to anyone, even the poor which she has been prohibited to talk to. Think of Wendy from gravity falls, Hanako is like her

The main reason Hanako goes to the fight club with Mizuki is because she wants to feel what chaos and danger was like, how it felt, and why her twin was a absolute junkie for it. Due to her Quirk, Hanako was sheltered, but she dosent want to be anymore

SARA ITSUKI

This here, is Sara. She is one of the two main announcers of the fight club

To explain the announcers there's two announcers. One announcer represents the Rich side, one represents the poor. Sara here, is the announcer that represents the poor side.

You know that one introvert meme where it says: 'eww, people' and it shows someone showing both middle fingers? Yeah, well that's Sara. She can speak to a large crowd, but she still dosent like being near people

Sara dosent take excuses for answers, she works proficiently and quickly, as she wants to do all that she can so the poor people won't get executed. So if that means hyping up the crowd, she'll do it.

Sara is basically black cat energy. She's quiet, she's stealthy, and dosent show emotion much, but she's got a kind heart once you get through to her.

Sadly, Sara is extremely judgemental. She believes that the all the rich are monsters, finding joy in pubically executing people just as innocent as them. And Sara is extremely stubborn, so she dosent just change her opinion easily. Hopefully charater Development comes her way

Sara's Quirk, Echolocation, makes Sara able to use sound to see through walls to find others or to check or injuries. So whenever a pro hero is hurt, Sara uses her Quirk to see any long lasting damages.

Feel free to ask questions!

Balioc's Choice Award, Fiction Division: The Circus of Dr. Lao, Charles G. Finney

>>>> Honorable Mention: Rats and Gargoyles, Mary Gentle

[This seems like the correct place to point out that, for the Balioc's Choice Awards, I consider only works that were first published with the last 100 years. Otherwise it would just be "surprise, old classics are often classics for a reason."]

**********

...this year was much like the last several years, only somehow even more so. Not in a good way, I fear. My current lifestyle continues not to be super-conducive to reading, and writing a weekendlong LARP kind of knocked the wind out of me, both during and after. If it weren't for a massive silly-fun historical-mystery binge in December, my numbers here would be shameful. And you will notice that a whole lot of the things on that list are very short.

Most of the contemporary fiction was pretty much what I expected it to be. There were few real standouts. Things by good authors continued to be mostly good; things by shlocky authors continued to be shlock.

I should probably drive less for my various solitary recreational jaunts, just so that I can spend more of that time with a book. I should definitely read more old stuff, because old stuff continues to be the most reliably rewarding. (The cream of the cream of the old stuff, anyway, which is...what you read.)

I continue to be Extremely In the Market for recommendations of really good, deeply-informative nonfiction.

snow man’s iwamoto hikaru as alan

imp’s sato arata as subaru

hey say jump’s yamada ryosuke as leo

sxz’s nakajima kento as rui

pictures pictures pictures

1. iwamoto hikaru as alan mido

- just a block of pure muscle

- acted as a bodyguard & a firefighter once & did his own stunts idk I feel like he’d do the takeru scene pretty well

2. sato arata as kagami subaru

- pretty™️

- also started out in kabuki

- has the same mole I think it’s fate

3. yamada ryosuke as kurosawa leo

- looks like a cinnamon roll but can actually kill u

- idk what else to tell u his name is also leo & he livestreams whenever he’s not busy being an actor/idol

4. nakajima kento as mizuki rui

- will flirt w anything that moves

- also incredibly babygirl

- if anyone in tkdb has the catch phrase “sexy thank you” it’d be rui

Hello!

I'm sending you this ask since I consider you the scholar and a spearhead of GGGNK Tumblr fandom and I'd really love to read your opinion on that matter!

I'm not sure if I get "NOROI KAGO: the Grudged Domain" trailer (on Toei's Youtube channel) right... it looks like a trailer to a Gegege No Kitaro video game due to last couple of seconds of the video, but also I think Kitaro won't be the focus point of the plot but rather a cameo or recurring character at best.

It looks interesting because it doesn't seem like a child friendly title and especially since GeGeGe no Nazo movie is rated 15+. It seems like we might be entering some sort of period of GeGeGe no Kitaro franchise that is geared towards more mature audience or at least creators are toying with the idea of branching out to make Kitaro like... scary.

Do you think it's possible or maybe it's just me reading too much into things?

hello! thank you kindly for the ask! it means a lot that you think of me that way. i really love kitaro and i'm very happy to connect to other people who love it, too!

onto your question... i don't think you're overthinking it! i think the kitaro franchise as a whole has been open to trying new things. every series has a different mood to it, and the fact that it's remade at all shows that they want to explore the franchise in a variety of ways.

i took another watch of the trailer, and i think you make a good point that kitaro won't exactly be the star of the game. i like that it seems to be making a point of showing off how scary yokai can be. it seems like it's going a lethal company route? which sounds super fun. (if any followers want to play with me when it releases, let me know.) i was also shocked that it appears to be getting an english release! maybe there's hope of a genazo eng release too...? haha... i can dream at least... in any case, horror is obviously a key element to kitaro, but i don't think it's really leaned into it this heavily before... like. i'd describe some kitaro episodes as creepy, atmospheric, but this is a different kind of horror that i really enjoy.

i really do think genazo's success is going to shape the future of the franchise, in a good way! i don't think we should expect anything as tonally heavy as genazo for the main series, but i think it shows that there's a very passionate audience for kitaro to be... grounded, maybe? there's a lot of whimsy in other series that i love, but genazo really hammers in the point of kitaro's yokai nature and humanity and how that intersects in the circumstances of his birth. i love that genazo seems so bleak at the surface, but it's really a movie about love and hope for what comes next. life can be cruel, but we keep going, for the people we love and the people we'll meet...

i'm incredibly curious on what angle they'll go for season 7. i have my own self indulgent hopes... a different mizuki, a dai-kaiju arc (with yamada!!), toco as a character designer again... regardless, i promise i'll be there to watch!
