“We can go anywhere… as long as we have each other.”
Romeo & Julius is the first stage play of Mankai Company's newborn Spring Troupe. The play was introduced during Episode 1 - The Show Must Go On!. Like the previous Spring Troupe, they decided to pick up this classic Shakespeare theatre script but also adding a new and innovative twist to it, making the entire cast male. Instead of focusing on the tragic well-known romance of Romeo and Juliet, the Spring Troupe turned it into a play about friendship. The main lead was Sakuya Sakuma as Romeo Montague, who had the most experience of all his fellow troupe members, his co-star, and second lead was Masumi Usui as Julius Capulet the male version of Juliet.
