Arkhelios Adventures
"And so you see, I just need help with my- look over there!"
Getting Theo to meet alone in their private quarters was easier than Lukas ever thought. The boy was far too trusting for someone who had had the traumatic childhood he'd had. The little demon had eagerly agreed to help Lukas with his homework without a second thought for his own safety. Either the boy was an idiot or perhaps the deity had misjudged him. A rogue demonic agent would surely have more training and experience and never have followed his target back to their room.
Still, it was critical for Lukas to examine the boy. Saren had some plan for him, that was certain at least. How much had she revealed to her pawn? A quick examination would reveal her scheme for sure.
After weeks of surveillance at school in a non-threatening disguise, Lukas had turned up nothing of interest. The kid hung around his boyfriend like his life would end if they were separated, and his other friends had no clear red flags. All Lukas had learned was that their own twin children were far more socially connected than they or their husband thought. Destiny had a whole list of friends her parents had never met, and Davis clearly had a crush on someone if the rumor mill was accurate. Lukas had better things to do now that this surveillance operation had grown boring.
There was only one way to settle the matter: a hands on examination of the demon's thoughts. The practice was looked down upon as an invasion of privacy for the limited amount of people who could actually perform the spell. There were no laws against it, magical or otherwise. Aside from Lukas and his father, almost no one could even attempt the maneuver.
When Theo opened his eyes, he found himself at home, with Too destroying her favourite toy. Hadn't he just been at school? How weird.
"Hey, Theo. Wanna dance?"
Theo turned around to find Justice Bertino standing in front of the stereo, looking invitingly at him. Beside her, Rose Rivales, watched him with a jealous expression.
"Uh, sure," he replied, extremely confused, but not opposed to the idea. What he had just been doing slipped entirely from his mind, along with his devotion to Adam. Justice pulled him in like a siren with Rose perched, waiting for her turn.
"I really like you, Theo. I always have."
Before Theo could even blink, Justice had disappeared and been replaced by Bronwen. Theo had always thought of her as a friend, one of his oldest. Suddenly, that familiar feeling vanished, replaced by a warmth that was radiating through his body.
"I like you too," Theo whispered, reaching for her hand and watching the hair on his arms stand up as he did.
There was something exotic and dangerous about a vampire hybrid. She understood him and how the world saw him and she was so pretty....
"Oh, Theo, I'm so glad you invited me over. I've had such a crush on you."
Theo blinked as Destiny Lane appeared before him, mashing their lips together before he could react. Whatever was happening to him was strange, but not unpleasant.
"Alright, I've seen enough. Like my daughter would ever be attracted to you. She has higher standards than that."
Lukas pulled away, freeing the teen from their spell. Skimming his tiny mind hadn't revealed evil intentions, just a normal, horny teenager. If there was something sinister, Lukas would have found it. The boy wasn't trained at all on shielding his true thoughts. If he was capable of that, surely the child wouldn't have revealed a crush on Lukas' own daughter.
"What-what happened?" Theo asked, groggily rubbing his eyes. "Did I fall asleep? When did I get here? Sorry, Hayden, I must have been sleepwalking or something."
"Yeah, no worries," Lukas replied, far more focused on maintaining their disguise than the little demon. Using that much energy at once could have shifted their appearance.
"Thanks so much for sharing your potions notes with me," Simon exclaimed, gesturing wildly. "I was doomed to fail without them. You're the best."
Adam flushed at the compliment. He hadn't done anything impressive, but Simon looked so grateful. He was the son of a Strangetown prince and had the same level of parental pressure as Adam. Failing a test wasn't an option for either of them.
He's cute.
Adam shook his head, desperate to clear his mind. Theo was cute, Simon was just pleasant to look at. There was no comparison.
"Uh, I gotta meet Theo," he stammered, scrambling away from the grateful boy.
What was wrong with him? His parents both told him that puberty was a time when he'd be attracted to lots of people in order to understand who he was and who he was drawn to, but his heart belonged to Theo. They were going to get married after graduating. They'd already picked out baby names. It was wrong to cheat on Theo in his mind; surely Theo never thought about anyone but him.
Adam bolted down the hall, where Theo was standing in a daze, looking a million miles away.
"Theo!"
Theo snapped back to reality upon hearing Adam's voice.
"Adam! I have the weirdest headache all of a sudden. Hayden must think I'm high or something, just wandering into their room like that. Maybe I should sit down."
"Here, I'll help you," Adam said quickly, grabbing Theo's hands. "I'll always be here to help you, no matter what."
With a slight cracking sound, a celestial being descended into Lukas' assigned quarters.
"Your husband sends his regards," the being declared. "He's wondering if you're going to be returning for the night or if your 'important' work will keep you busy."
Lukas rolled their eyes.
"No, Michael, I think my experiment has run its course for now," they replied. Leave it to Death to send one of his reapers to check up on them. Back in the old days, Death would have come himself. "The little demon has nothing more on his mind than hormones and I don't need to stick around for that. If Saren is planning something, the kid is ignorant of it. The last thing I need is a teenage love triangle at the moment. Something is wrong and this kid is just a horny red herring. Saren probably wanted me to waste time on this, knowing her. I can always return to this cesspool of hormones whenever I want."
"Why do you always assume your half-brother's identity?" the reaper asked curiously, staring at the photo of a red head on the wall that Lukas had clearly been using as a family photo to complete their disguise. "Death never says, but it's messed up. Do you even talk to him? The rumor around headquarters is that you hate Hayden."
"None of your business!" Lukas snapped irritably. "And I do hate him. He's an entitled prick and that's all you need to know."
They paused, calculating their next move. The little hybrid didn't know his true purpose, which meant that Lukas couldn't pry it from him. They were certain that demons were involved somehow, but they had nothing to work with.
There was a new threat crackling through the currents of life. Whatever was wrong involved Pleasantview and Strangetown, that much they knew. Probably Arkhelios as well in some strange way. Arkhelios was increasingly becoming a problem.
"I have to make a stop before I go home," Lukas decided. "Tell my husband that I'll be a little late for dinner. I have to stop in Strangetown for a bit. Something's not right. Something feels...familiar."
In an instant, Lukas vanished from sight, intent on their newest mission.
"I'll be sure to pass that along."
"Oh, hi, Justice. What are you doing here?"
Theo waved awkwardly at the girl he'd strangely just been thinking of. Considering that she didn't attend his school, Justice's appearance seemed oddly timed.
"Hi, Thomas," the girl said kindly. "I'm visiting my boyfriend. Can you point me to the common room?"
"It's Theo. The common room is down the hall to the left."
Theo could feel his cheeks burn with a foreign emotion. He barely knew the girl and still her indifference to him hurt in a way he didn't understand. They'd crossed paths a few times, but he'd never given her a second thought. With Adam beside him, he didn't need to think about anyone else.
Surely he'd hit his head somehow. He didn't remember hitting it anywhere, but why else had he been in Hayden's room? Why did his stomach twist in knots thinking about the blonde girl he barely knew?
"Come on, Adam, let's go grab a snack from the kitchen, I'm feeling a bit lightheaded," Theo decided, grabbing his boyfriend's hand. "Then we can 'study' for our runes final."

Gustav seems determined to win Simone back. Their chemistry is middling at best and he has plenty of other lovers, but who am I to deny such a beautiful romance?

Dear Diary,
Annika said things are well over at her house. Ollie and Kelly left her with the twins while they went to work and Daniel was at school.
So she invited over a friend to hang out and help.
Simone went over for a little while after school to hang out with the Dannie and the twins.
She said they invited her to stay for dinner, but she wanted to leave them to chat. She didn’t say what it was, but she said it would have been awkward to be there.

Hello Nathya! I have a couple of questions regarding the a3 voice actors because it's 5am and my thoughts are jumping everywhere. My questions are, which voice actor has the most established career in japan, and which character is the most popular? If you don't know that's fine but yea I hope you can answer friend! Bye ٩(ര̀ᴗര́)ᵇʸᵉ~ 🐣
hi hi chick anonnie!!! i hope by the time you read this you’ve already gone to sleep beforehand!!! i’ll answer your latter question first:
“MOST POPULAR CHARACTER?” I’ll refer you to two sources! JP and EN.
A3! First Anniversary Event! (2018) this is based on cheer points rather than votes, but I still think it has validity since the ranking affected the next play cast.
Top 1: Chigasaki Itaru (55.8m pts)
Top 2: Settsu Banri (35.9m pts)
Top 3: Ikaruga Misumi (34.8m pts)
Top 4: Furuichi Sakyo (34.2m pts)
Top 5: Usui Masumi (33.5m pts)
Other notes: everyone in Autumn made it to Top 10 (rookies weren’t part of this), Tsumugi is the only winter in Top 10 (he’s number 6).
If you meant EN, I refer you to this post! It includes character popularity, troupe popularity, ship popularity... Itaru still came in first! With Misumi second, and Tsumugi as third.
“VOICE ACTOR W/ THE MOST ESTABLISHED CAREER IN JAPAN?” Since I mostly just watch seiyuu videos and learn about what media they were in, I’m definitely no expert. Therefore, I asked my wonderful seiyuu trash expert, Yona~ Her full response is below, but I’ll summarize!
If you include Act 3, the OG leaders are the most “popular and established” both in Japan and internationally!
There’s Ono Daisuke (Hiro’s VA) (also one of Nathya’s long time favourites). Other roles are: Jotaro (JJBA), Sebastian (Black Butler), Erwin (AoT)
There’s also Namikawa Daisuke (Kasumi’s VA) w/ a career of 41 years (he’s only 44!). Other roles: Hisoka (HxH), North Italy (Hetalia), Jellal (Fairy Tail)
If you mean just Mankai 24, it’s probably Asanuma Shintaro (Itaru), Toyonaga Toshiyuki (Homare), Kakihara Tetsuya (Azuma), Hino Satoshi (Guy)
OTHER ROLES:
Asanuma Shintaro: Shulk (Xenoblade Chronicles), Takumu (Accel World), Leo (EnStars)
Toyonaga Toshiyuki: Goshi (B-Project), Yuri (Yuri on Ice!!!), Mikado (Durarara!!)
Kakihara Tetsuya: Simon (Gurenn Lagann), Natsu (Fairy Tail), Shin (Amnesia)
Hino Satoshi: Kamui (Gintama), Toma (Amnesia), Daichi (Haikyuu!!)
FULL LENGTH ESSAY BY YONA BELOW:
Yona apologizes for how long this is btw pfft~
#🐣 anonnie~#nathya's lovely regulars~#customer served~#a3!#a3! act! addict! actors!#THANK YOU FOR THE HELP YONA ILY MWAH MWAH

Arkhelios Adventures
Remy stared in her brother's direction, trying to make him do something fun by sheer force of will. All Adam did all day was mope and read, and sharing a room with him was beginning to grate on her nerves.
Adam moved, and Remy had a brief moment of hope where she though he might do something interesting. She was immediately let down however, when he simply grabbed a school book and started to read. Remy had thought sharing a room with him briefly as a kid had been rough, but she was wrong. Her younger twin brother had the exciting life of a shriveled up old warlock whose main excitement in life was the daily crossword puzzle. Clearly Theo had been a large part of Adam's adventurous side and if he didn't come back to make her brother fun again, she had the feeling that Adam would forever be as dull as he was now.
"A book? Why are you doing schoolwork? It's after hours and you could be doing anything! Literally, anything. Why don't you watch a movie or whatever you think is fun? Teenagers have fun, boring ass adults do schoolwork after class. You're only young once, Adam and you're blowing it."
"I don't know, it's hard to say what's fun these days. Theo liked watching movies with me. The really scary ones so he'd have to hold me when we watched them. Everything I could do, I did it with him first. Reading about magic might be the only way I can see him again. If I want to, that is."
"That's it! I can't take any more of this. You stay here and die of old age, while you figure out if you still love your boyfriend. I'm going to have fun. At least one of us should."
Remy cast a quick spell to freshen her makeup and hair, daring her brother to say something. Anything.
"Where are you going? You know you're not supposed to leave the school grounds," Adam cautioned. "Dad will be pissed if he finds out."
"No, he won't. He'll never catch me and if he ever did, I could just blame your constant moping making me insane. Seriously, if you went downstairs to even have a game of chess with a stranger, Dad would probably throw a party of his own."
"He would not," Adam grumbled defensively. "I'm not that bad."
"Yeah, you are," Remy confirmed, looking at her phone. "Don't worry, I have some fun planned for you despite your aversion to anything interesting. You can't just stay in here mourning Theo forever."
"Oh god, what have you done now, Remy?" Adam groaned. "I don't need your idea of fun. That usually leads to hangovers and possible academic suspension."
"You'll see," she teased, putting on a revealing dress in an instant and rechecking her hair. "I got your boy crush's phone number, why don't you try entering it on your new phone? Oh wait, I already did while you stared at the wall all day."
"Boy crush?" Adam repeated. "I don't have any crush, you're being deluded again."
"I've seen the way that you look at Josh from Crystal Cove," Remy laughed. "Oh, Josh, help me find this rare crystal. Josh, do you want to help me study? My boyfriend just can't answer questions like you can. Let's have little crystal babies together."
Remy made an obnoxious kissing noise and Adam whipped a pillow at her.
"That's not true!" he shouted. "Josh and I are just friends. He's dating someone from Arkhelios!"
"Just like you, see this is working out," Remy replied. "You have so much in common. I told him that you wanted to spend some alone time to talk about rocks and he was into it. Dad might not have told you, but he called the coven nearly every day after you got hurt. He likes you."
"Remy! You didn't!"
Adam's mind reeled as he thought of the damage Remy had done. Josh was an attractive, powerful warlock who Adam looked up to. He was a couple years older than Adam and currently had a boyfriend in college, Melvin Jr Hydes. Josh and Melvin always seemed so happy together, just like he and Theo used to be and the thought of Josh thinking that Adam wouldn't respect that relationship was horrible.
It wasn't like Remy was too off base though, if Adam was honest with himself. Josh was the great-nephew of the king of Strangetown and was named after Master Toyonaga, someone he had always longed to have as a teacher. In an alternate world, Adam would learn under Master Toyonaga and continue to pursue crystal magic as a major. The fact that Josh would also be there was just a bonus.
Josh didn't make Adam feel like he did when he was with Theo, but Adam could still feel his heart race when Josh helped him with a project. The fact that Remy had picked up on this fact was dangerous. If she knew about his silly crush, how obvious was it to everyone else? Did Josh know? Did Theo?
"Hey, Adam. I was just wondering if you wanted to do something together? Your sister said you might want to hang out?"
Adam's heart froze in his chest when he saw Simon Toyonaga appear in their doorway, looking optimistic. From the way his sister was beaming, Adam assumed that this visit was also her idea. Had she invited every member of the Toyonaga family in their age group to cheer him up?
"Remy!" Adam hissed, unsure if he was more angry or terrified by his sister's meddling. How on earth was she doing all of this?
"Oh, hi, Simon," Remy said sweetly. "Good timing. I was just going out and Adam could use some company. His boyfriend is still missing and he's feeling so hurt by him. Maybe you could cheer him up."
"Yeah, I can try," Simon said eagerly. "What do you want to do?"
Behind Simon's back, Remy was making obscene gestures with her hands, giving her brother suggestions for what they could do in her absence.
"Remy! Uh, yeah, I guess we could go for a walk or something," Adam said politely. It wasn't Simon's fault that Remy was out of control.
Simon was cute, and even Adam could figure out that Simon had a crush on him. Theo had always acted like he was oblivious to this fact if he did know. Unlike his father, there weren't several family stories about Theo going mad with jealousy and taking his anger out on people who simply looked at his partner. Roman was always the parent who made Adam nervous when he was at Theo's house because he was so predictably unpredictable. There was no way that Adam could picture Theo dumping Simon into a section of the Void because Adam thought he was attractive. No matter how Theo eventually returned to him, Adam knew that Simon would be safe if Remy tried to convince Theo that something had happened while he was gone.
But i thought that he would never hurt me. Maybe the Theo I thought I knew never really existed.
"It's nice out here," Simon commented.
After forcing Remy to go to her party or whatever she had planned so that she'd leave him alone, Adam and Simon had walked in near silence down to the outdoor balconies. Simon watched Adam in case he wobbled or needed assistance, but it wasn't needed. The majority of his physical wounds had healed, though Adam supposed that people couldn't have known that if they never saw him out in public.
"I never really come out here at night," Simon continued awkwardly. "It's peaceful."
"Theo and I always sat out here. You can see a lot of cool birds and there's a pretty good view of some of the royal residences."
"So, uh, do you know when Theo will be back in school?" Simon asked carefully. "Is he coming back? I've heard a lot of conflicting things."
"He'll be back," Adam promised. "Evren might burn down the school if he doesn't. All the adults talk in hushed whispers when Theo's mentioned, so I'd imagine that something is happening. Maybe he'll come back early."
"So you are still dating him? Remy made it sound like-"
"Remy doesn't know what she's talking about," Adam said quickly. "I don't know how I'll feel when I see him again, but I owe it to him to not break up with him while he's not here to know that we're done. Remy means well, but sometimes she goes too far."
"That's admirable," Simon replied. "Theo's lucky to have you...that is if you decide to stay together. Relationships aren't easy."
"No, they're not," Adam agreed. "I learned that the hard way."
"So what are you up to lately?" Simon asked, redirecting their conversation away from the topic of Theo. "You miss a lot of class, are you having trouble keeping up? I can always try to help, though my grades have never been as good as yours. Do you have any hobbies?"
Adam paused, trying to think of a response.
"No, not really. I haven't been doing much of anything lately. It's too hard to focus on anything but Theo...and everything that happened."
"You like crystals, though, don't you?" Simon pressed. "You made Theo that ring he's always showing off and I remember your year-end project from last year. It was the prototype for a new wand, right? Did you ever get that to work?"
Adam frowned, unsure of the answer to that question.
"I don't know, I dropped it after I could use the Maricourt wand," he replied. "To be honest, I've kinda forgotten about it. My dad gets upset if I don't show off the Maricourt wand in class."
"Well, what would you rather wield? I like my trusty carved wand personally. I don't think I'll ever use the Maricourt wand after I can summon it. It's bulky and too much of a hassle."
"Yeah, I've never really thought about it," Adam said. "It's just what my dad told me to do. It's tradition. It's how you prove yourself to the coven." He paused. "Now that you mention it, the Maricourt wand is bulky and hard to maneuver. I smacked myself in the head a few times when i first tried to cast a proper spell with it."
"You worry too much about what adults think," Simon declared, staring up at the night sky. "Forget about Theo for now and focus on yourself. I mean, that's what he's doing, isn't he? He's finding out who he is and how to be that person going forward and you're just crying about him. I'm not trying to be mean, Adam, but you should use this time to grow in your own power. Try something new. Take a risk."
Adam thought carefully about this advice. Sure, Remy and his father had told him basically the same thing, but it felt different coming from an outsider to their family. Maybe he really was missing a silver lining with Theo's absence. When Theo came back, did he really want to see his boyfriend miserable and barely leaving his dorm room? Adam's body and magical skill had been transformed and he wasn't even experimenting with his abilities or how they could interact with the power of crystals. Why did he use the Maricourt wand in class when he could barely feel the difference in magical power when he used it? His magic had always felt amplified when channeled through a crystal prism. Whenever he searched for his limited connection to Theo, a crystal wand always made him easier to find. His feelings for Theo always seemed to be perfectly in tune with a crystal, vibrating together with perfect clarity.
"You're right," Adam said slowly, a powerful thought beginning to crystalize in his mind. "No one is going to bring Theo back here or let me talk to him. If I want to get closure, I need to find Theo myself."
"I'm not sure that was my point exactly," Simon replied. "You should find out about yourself and then when you're ready-"
"I can feel him faintly. If I could get a wand that would amplify that, I might be able to talk to him. I could take charge of this situation and fix all of this."
For the first time in months, the tightness in Adam's chest began to ease. Why was he sitting around waiting for someone else to bring Theo back to him? He had all the tools he needed to try to fix this. He was so preoccupied with all the changes that had happened to him, that he'd forgotten all the things that had stayed the same. He was connected to Theo magically, which not only gave him a clue to find Theo, but also borrowed some of Theo's insane power for himself. He was a Maricourt and a Darktide and he could do whatever he put his mind to.
"You're right, Simon!" Adam exclaimed, feeling hope trickle back into his heart for the first time in months. "I know just who to help me find Theo."
"Please don't tell your sister that this was my idea," Simon whimpered. As much as he liked Adam, he was rightfully frightened of Remy, Bronwen and Elowen. If they thought that he had influenced their brother into something rash and dangerous, Simon was doomed.
Adam summoned one of his practice wands for dueling class and immediately waved it in a basic summoning spell. Using a practice wand dulled the spell's power so that the target wouldn't be summoned against their will. They could choose to ignore the summons if it was inconvenient for them. The last thing Adam wanted was to summon his guest if he was getting ready for bed.
"Adam? So are you are alive! I was starting to have my doubts."
A glowing figure emerged from nothingness before the two boys' eyes. Adam beamed seeing his visitor, consciously trying not to look too excited.
"Josh! Remy mentioned that you were looking to talk with me," Adam said, brushing his hair slightly so less of his scar was visible. "Simon and I were just talking, and I may have a project for us. I need to talk to Theo and there's no traditional way of finding him. From what my dad says, he's in a place we can't even summon him. His dad already tried and it's like wherever he is has some kind of shielding. I can barely feel my connection to him, but with the right crystal, I might be able to enhance it. So I was thinking-"
"Slow down, Adam, I haven't seen you in months and you're talking a mile a minute about a crystal? How are you? What happened? Your dad gave me your new phone number and you've been ghosting me. I texted you. Are you doing any better?"
Adam froze, the weight of his memories steamrolling over the limited confidence he'd felt.
"I'm fine," he said shortly. "I can walk like normal now, and I've gone back to regular classes. I'm fine."
Josh nodded, realizing that he'd pushed too hard in his excitement to hear from his friend. If he wanted to help Adam, he would have to slow things down.
"I'm glad to hear that. You can catch me up to date while we're working on this project of yours."
Adam's face brightened once more. As long as he didn't have to think about what had happened, he could maybe start to see a path forward.
"I need a new wand," he explained. "I was hoping that you or Master Toyonaga could help me make that wand I was working on before. If I can get the right wand, I might be able to talk to Theo. All I need is some help."
"And I can help you," Josh replied. "I made my own wand last year. Just about everyone in the coven has at least one wand that they've made themselves. It's surprisingly easy with the right crystals."
"I knew I could count on you."
Adam beamed with a new excitement now that he had a tangible plan in front of him. Finally, something in his life that he could control. Josh was going to help him find Theo and then things would finally change. He'd know just how he felt about both his boyfriend and his future once he could make a stronger wand.
"Well, I think we could start with coffee first before we jump right into magic," Josh laughed. "I get that you don't want to talk about certain things, but it's been forever since we hung out. Crystals resonate stronger when you are honest about your feelings and intentions, so let me help focus your magic. Does the coffee machine in the kitchen still work or did Travis break it again?"
"Travis broke the coffee machine?" Adam repeated. "I don't think he did, but-"
"It was about a month ago," Simon said. "He was testing whether he could brew coffee with the attributes of a potion he was working on. The kitchen was a disaster and the new machine only came in last week. There were a lot of pissed off people in the mornings."
"Really? I don't remember that."
"Because you haven't been outside your bedroom in ages," Josh replied. "The world kept turning despite Theo being gone. This is what I'm saying, let's get you back into society and when you're back, your magic will take care of itself. You know crystals are stronger when they're surrounded by others in tune with you."
"Yeah, I know. That makes sense." Adam paused, trying to summon the courage to move forward when the past was still so overwhelming. Crystals did need clarity and focus and if he wanted to find Theo and find himself again, Josh's suggestion made sense.
"Okay, one cup of coffee. But that's it."

Comedians are the New Hotness in Laugh Life! Project
DMM, the creators of projects like KanColle and Touken Ranbu, are back with a new mixed media project. Laugh Life! is full of new cute boys to get to know... all of whom are stand-up comedians!
The project stars 16 voice actors in new roles as comedy duos or trios, all competing in the L1 Grand Prix. The fictional competition is an all-or-nothing contest in which fame and fortune is promised to the grand prize winner. The winning team takes away 50 million yen, plus their own TV show and a commercial contract. Previous winners have become so sought after, their schedules have filled up a month in advance within 30 minutes of being named winner.
So what's the "or nothing"? If your team loses, it's immediately disbanded, all members are barred from entertainment work for one year, and the former collaborators are prohibited from ever working together again. In other words, your career is ruined.
The teams risking it all for fame are voiced by a mix of anime and game voice actors and up-and-coming comedians:
BEYOND
Shoma Hayashi (L): CV Yusuke Kashiwagi (Karamatsu, Mr. Osomatsu stage plays). A fan of "traditional" owarai.
Yuuta Ochi (R): CV Jin Ogasawara. The helpful prince of BEYOND.
Homme fatale fascinant
Rintaro Tsunagi (L): CV Takashi Kondo (Kogitsunemaru, Touken Ranbu). A stubborn, reckless young man.
Akira Claude-Michel Tori (R): CV KENN (Tamaki Yotsuba, IDOLiSH7). A young owarai prodigy.
mitsugonotamashii
Daiki Boya (L): CV Yu Kohanai. A low-profile comic.
Tamaki Oone (C): CV Ryota Ohsaka (Marco Bodt, Attack on Titan). A kind, gentle sketch comedy specialist.
Mitsuba Ita (R): CV Tetsuya Kakihara (Simon, Gurren Lagann). A comic with a talent for "reading the room."
HachiKon
akari/Gengoro Akari (L): CV Shunichi Toki (Leo de la Iglesia, Yuri!!! on ICE). A cute cross-dressing sketch comic.
nori/Sakiya Norizuki (R): CV Shouma Yamamoto (Seiji Hayami, Cutie Honey the LIVE). A less cute cross-dressing sketch comic.
Green Green
Tatsumi Makura (L): CV Toshiyuki Toyonaga (Mohiro Mikage, Magical Girl Ore). A cool reformed delinquent.
Toranosuka Kabuse (R): CV Ryuji Yamamoto. A mischievous former delinquent.
AruAru/Tsubaki Arukara (Top): CV Yuuto Uemura (Atsushi Nakajima, Bungo Stray Dogs). The fairy(?) who oversees the duo.
Soshaku Hakushaku
Aruto Sukashi (L): CV Yuuki Ono (Taiga Kagami, Kuroko's Basketball). A yes-man wrapped in an enigma.
Eigo Tsubushi (R): CV Showtaro Morikubo (Shikamaru, Naruto). A partner-crushing perfectionniste.
Infini
Meisei Kamigata (L): CV Kenjiro Tsuda (Seto Kaiba, Yu-Gi-Oh!). An entertainer with a dark past.
Haku Mikire (R): CV Takuma Nagatsuka (Koji Koda, My Hero Academia). A natural "mood-maker."
In addition to their comedy routines, the participants of the L1 Grand Prix will be expected to engage in the typical "idol activities" demanded of a group like this—allegedly to make the competition more exciting (as if the stakes weren't high enough for that!).
Laugh Life! 1st Round comes out in CD form on July 3, featuring BEYOND and HachiKon performing comedy, audio drama, and songs.
