Just finished reading Butai ni Sake!

This is the closest interaction between Imari and Asahi we've got to a kiss TT

Anyway, I LOVED IT but the final chapter rushed things too much TT I'm sure sensei had a really good reason for giving us that kind of ending and I hope hearing great news about Butai ni Sake someday (˶°ㅁ°)!!

[mirjtsu]

JUST WHYYYYY!

No, really, just why? WHY? Butai ni Sake (Bloom on stage) is my fav Harusono Sho's work and also one of my top series! I'm so sad and I don't really understand the reason. There was so much going on... Whyyyyy!

Also!!! Just look at these two! I love (and someway kin) Asahi so much. And his relationship with senpai Imari was so endearing.

If someone knows why this is happening, please comment or reblog! o(T◇T o)

[astro-can]

its actually impossible to express how damn relatable this man is

[squealing-for-harusono-sensei]

I wanted to do something for the release of Butai no Sake!’s last volume, but the analysis wasn’t working out, so I whipped up (I say as if it didn’t take hours to make) an Imari and Asahi inspired necklace with what I had lying around

[coladaminx]

Imari sweetie don’t hide that smile ( ͡─ ‿‿ ͡─) omg they’re killing me 

[aranarumei]

actually im not done talking about this because asahi literally went “and then… I felt like I didn’t know how I ought to be speaking anymore. I bleached my hair, thinking it’d make me seem more outgoing, actually. and i even switched to contacts!” like what the fuck thats soooo hanzawacore. i mean hanzawa would never say it out loud so they are different but still. smthing smthing the facades they put up the almost obsessive focus asahi has on projecting an air of normalcy and easiness to get along with in perhaps the same way that hanzawa gives off an air of a model student... yeah.

wish I could lock asahi and hanzawa in a room together because well. well it would be interesting it may cause them new heights of psychic damage but it would be interesting. also if u enjoy sasamiya & related this is ur sign to read butai ni sake it’s very fun

BUTAI NI SAKE! (2020-2023) by harusono shou

[inahochi]

舞台に咲け！(butai ni sake!) vol.3 (end) cover

[sunnnfish]

Okay. Okay tashiro gonzaburou post for real. Under a cut bc it got much longer than i expected. ^_^

Tashiro Gonzaburou is frankly someone we don’t know that much about, really. He’s an average student, if a little lazy. He likes having his hair bleached but it’s not like he’s repeatedly bleaching it because the captain of his club told him it’s not allowed. He helps out around a bathhouse full of older folks who treat him like a grandson, giving him candy and recipes and elderly wisdom, which he takes in stride. He often wears a bright green jacket with a even brighter orange messenger bag. He doesn’t seem to like his bangs in his face, rather wearing a ponytail or a headband or beanie. He’s cheerful and a little scatterbrained, but always willing to help his friends. He wants a girlfriend, one day. He’s got crazy leg hair. He notices whatever sasaki and miyano have going on, way before there’s actually anything going on. He was a little worried about whatever they have going on because sasaki comes across as a little scary to anyone who’s not miyano. He’s in the ping pong club. He was chosen to be the next captain of the ping pong club because he’s the type who can get along with everyone. He is oddly susceptible to thinking boys are girls. He has very dexterous fingers, and is capable of spinning two pens around his fingers at the same time. He’s repeatedly said how he thinks what’s on the inside is more important than the outside of a person. He skips club practice, often enough for hanzawa to get angry with him. He doesn’t think he’s smart enough to be club captain. He’s a little worried about how busy hanzawa is, and doesn’t want to be a further burden to him, so he accepts the position as club captain.

And so I guess all this is to say we actually do know a lot about him. He’s a complex and well rounded person, full of kindness and a sharp insight that could make him a top student if he could apply it to his studies. But instead it’s applied to the people he knows and sees, capable of making connections that are far beyond surface level, because that’s the most important part, of course. He doesn’t have low self esteem, he’s just never considered himself one to be very… important, in the grand scheme of things. Especially in the eyes of someone like hanzawa. That “Why me” mentality. But he’s got charm and charisma and is really good at bringing people together. A guy who can be anyone’s friend.

If we want to get into real headcanon-ish (aka things I hold true in my heart no matter what anyone says) territory, I do think he’s the type to not really. tell people his problems. Surface level ones like forgetting his homework, sure, but like. Deep seated fears or worries or stresses. If we want to make comparisons, hanzawas got that kind of smile where you can tell there’s something more going on in him, while tashiros has that outward air of head empty. A persona built around being happy-go-lucky as a kind of defense mechanism—if he isn’t optimistic then who is he. But it’s not like he isn’t genuinely optimistic and cheerful—he is. But it kind of makes being vulnerable hard. He’ll gladly let people open up to him but. Opening up to others doesn’t come naturally. He doesn’t want to burden others. It’s like. Not as deep as I feel like I’m making it sound but it’s just. He will bottle things up. Just a bit.

And then about his insightfulness— nobody really. Tells tashiro things. Likely out of a thought he can’t take things seriously or that he’s too immature. (He does take things seriously though). And at this point nobody thinks to tell him things cause he just figures it out rather quickly. He keeps eyes and ears open and gathers information easily. And people are surprised when he knows things because he doesn’t seem the type to know things or be so insightful to the very core of who they are. He pulls out Sherlock Holmes-esque reasonings like I know you’ve been feeling less nervous lately cause your nails look healthier aka you haven’t been biting them. Idk I’m not good at Holmes but surely you get it. Like the noticing of the most minuscule of things combined with general knowledge of a persons mentality thus creating very accurate assessments. Not that he tells anyone these things unless it piques his interest. Nor that he himself really knows these are deep insights either.

And then his GENDER. Not much to say here but. He was considered along with miyano to be girly enough to do a maid cafe in their first year. When miyano and the gang were thinking abt what their girl names would be tashiro like. Really likes his. Shirahama “I want to be ‘not single’ with a girl” tashiro “want me to crossdress…?” his only claim to manliness is his leg hair. Gender off the charts. Silly guy.

Also silly things I think about him. He’s really into party tricks (like the pencil spinning thing) (started bc he wanted to impress girls but now it’s just fun). He can also do stuff like simple card magic and that thing where you pull a coin out of someone’s ear. He actually really likes problem solving he just can’t handle the school system. Bequeathes him adhd autism. He’s also like. Really into hip hop dance. Because I said so.

Anyways erm. This definitely got longer than expected. I like skimmed through sasamiya again just to find like every piece of him I could. He has CONTINUITY. All of them do. Harusono Shou you are so great at characters. Tashiro Gonzaburou you have a grip on my mind. Love and light

HARUSONO SHOU’S MAIN BOYS.

[cyouhii]

GIVE BUTAI NI SAKE MORE ATTENTION PLS !!Σ(,,> <,,)

I've been reading Butai ni Sake and I'm loving it. The context of the theatre, Asahi's fear, Botan's insecurities, and Imari's eccentric personality, and other aspects... You can really tell all the hard work Harusono did researching on theatre stuff in order to write this story. It is more complex than StM and HtK as the characters have much more background and the plot explores themes beyond prota's relationship.

Well, after all, Butai ni Sake was released in 2020, many years later than other Harusono's mangas, so he/she (srry im not sure about sensei's gender) already had better ideas to build up that could not have been applied before, considering it would break the settled structure of StM and HtK.

I do really thing Harusono's creations deserve getting an anime adaption. I'dwish more people to discover his/her work.

Thank u for everything, Sensei! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

OK, to finish, look at this

FEEL THE TENSION MUEHEHE
