MANKAI STAGE "A3!" ACT3! ~SPRING & SUMMER 2026~ opened at the Tennozu Galaxy Theatre on Friday, April 10, 2026.
MANKAI STAGE "A3!" is a stage adaptation of the popular handsome actor training game "A3!", which has surpassed 800 million downloads.
This work is based on an unstaged story that took place within the timeline of the previous work, "ACT3! 2025," and will deliver episodes related to the performances of the new Spring Troupe's seventh performance, "The Magicians' Pure Love" (starring Masumi Usui), and the new Summer Troupe's seventh performance, "+3 Ghosts!" (starring Misumi Ikaruga).
I had the opportunity to cover the dress rehearsal held on April 10th, prior to the opening night performance.

~Cast Comments~

Sakuya Sakuma: Ryugi Yokota
Finally, MANKAI STAGE 'A3!' ACT3! ~SPRING & SUMMER 2026~ is about to begin.
As a new stage for "A3! Stage" begins, new members will also be joining, marking the start of a new "A3! Stage."
I believe that this will be a satisfying experience for everyone who has supported us so far, and it will also be enjoyable for those who will be watching "A3! Stage" for the first time!
"A3! Stage" is a project where you can create a single work together with the director.
We would be delighted if you could join us in creating the best possible stage!

Masumi Usui: Reiya Takahashi
I'm happy that spring has come again.
As Masumi, I want to carry the story of the first act and connect it to the Summer Troupe.
And I will carefully portray Masumi's growth and the nuances of his emotions, delivering a performance in which he plays the lead role.
It's all out of love for the director. Thank you for your support.

Tenma Sumeragi: played by Shuji Kikuchi
The tournament is finally about to begin.
From the moment it was decided that I would play "Tenma Sumeragi" until today, I have felt the pressure and the weight of responsibility, but I have also been supported by the love and greatness of the MANKAI Company, which has been loved for many years, and have faced "Tenma Sumeragi" together with everyone in the Summer Troupe.
I tried to put everything I could into this, cherishing the Summer Troupe and the character of "Tenma Sumeragi," which have been carefully nurtured up until now.
As the leader of the Summer Troupe, I will do my best to deliver a hot, fun, and unforgettable summer to the director, just like the sun.
Have the best summer ever! Together!
I'll be waiting at the theater! Director!

Yuki Rurikawa: Rei Takanashi
Every day was intense, and the training period felt like we had rushed through several years' worth of time in one go.
Initially, I was filled with joy and emotion at being able to participate in this project that I was so attached to, but even though I understood it intellectually, I also felt nervous and anxious, and days continued where things didn't go as planned.
Even so, I have been repeatedly encouraged by the presence of everyone in the company who believed in me and continued to support me no matter what, and by each and every word spoken by the character of "Rurikawa Yuki".
As a member of the Summer Troupe, and as "Yuki Rurikawa," I stand on this stage. My resolve is unwavering.
Right now, I'm just looking ahead, pouring everything I have into this, and I want to carefully deliver this new Summer Troupe, and this form of love that we've all faced together and built up through this work.

Ikaruga Misumi (voiced by Reo Honda)
The curtain is finally rising!
Spring and Summer performances that remind us of our beginnings △
A new breeze blows through the Summer Troupe, and furthermore, Misumi takes the lead role in the upcoming performance △
This has become a very important piece of work, filled with many emotions.
I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to deliver something to you so quickly.
Please look forward to it and enjoy it to the fullest!

A stage performance that makes you want to see it through to the end as a director ~A student's theater review~

Every time I see A3! Stage, I'm reminded of the charm of theater, and this time too, I was able to experience the wonderfulness of theater once again.
In the seventh performance of the newly formed Spring Troupe, "The Magicians' Pure Love" (starring Masumi Usui), it was very impressive to see Masumi, who has already shown growth up until now, gain new insights and move forward. It made me realize once again the great influence that theater can have on a person.
The seventh performance of the newly formed Summer Troupe, "+3 Ghosts!" (starring Misumi Ikaruga), was moving not only because of the dance performances of all the performers, but also because the use of LCD monitors in the production enhanced the emotional impact.
Both the Spring and Summer troupes looked absolutely stunning in their colorful costumes this time!!
Furthermore, for those familiar with previous performances, there were emotionally moving musical elements and impressive connections to past works!
