Minos Battleship

The Minos is a class of battleship designed and constructed by the Post-Human Republic. Similarly to its sister class, the Heracles, the Minos is built around an array of heavy calibre mass drivers that let it brawl against even the largest enemy ships. However, the Minos differentiates itself from its peer by featuring a completely different set of prow armaments, mostly obvious among them being its massive Nightfish torpedoes. Capable of being fired individually or simultaneously, these torpedoes are well-armoured to let them resist enemy point defence, closing inevitably with the doomed target.

Once the torpedoes are loosed, the Minos adopts an ultra-aggressive approach in order to bring its secondary weaponry to bear - its exotic and hyper-advanced neutron missiles. These weapons use a tiny, but unbelievably dense, quantity of neutronium as their tip, giving them penetrative capabilities far in excess of their size. Neutron missile can punch clean through battleships, tearing through important systems that would ordinarily be protected from all but the worst of hull damage. Thus crippled, the target can do nothing to avoid a followup broadside by the Minos.

### In-Game

The Minos packs one of the most potent CAWs in the game - depending on how well you roll, its neutron missiles can deal 8 points of critical damage in a single volley, while inflicting a Crippling roll at the same time. This is even before its torpedoes come into play - it can fire both in the same turn, potentially softening up larger prey before looking to close to Close Action range. The one disadvantage the Minos has is that it must get danger close to employ its deadliest weapon, forcing it to rely on passing saves to stay alive.
Berlin Cruiser

### Known ships of the class

Aurora, Spear of Destiny, Surefire, Ardent (Berlin-class)Borealis, Schadenfreude, Ardent II (New Berlin-class)

The Berlin is a class of cruiser designed and constructed by the United Colonies of Mankind. Prior to the Berlin's development, only the largest vessels in the UCMF were capable of being equipped with Cobra lasers, as they alone had the power cores necessary to manage the weapon's prodigious power consumption. However, advances in technology made the Cobra significantly easier to add to cruiser-tonnage ships, which led to the Berlin's development during the 2650's.

As a class, the Berlin is an effective vanguard unit that can easily threaten vessels of all sizes with its mass drivers and burnthrough laser. Its mobility and firepower have made the Berlin a mainstay of the UCM's fleets, with demand for the vessel always outstripping the supply from the Niccolum shipyards.

### Titania New Berlin

One disadvantage of the Berlin class has been its constant need for refits, a result of the exposed position of its primary laser weapon that can lead to extreme local temperatures and frequent failures. The New Berlin, constructed by Titania Fleet Systems, incorporates the laser into the superstructure, allowing heat to be channeled through the entire hull for eventual radiation into space. This has given the class 150% longer intervals between refits - a dramatic improvement over the classic Berlin.

In combat, the New Berlin matches the older class while requiring less crew, less energy, and less maintenance overall. However, the pattern is currently only produced in Titania's tiny shipyards and has to compete with the entrenched shipbuilding philosophy of the UCMF as a whole. Accordingly, the New Berlin is a relatively rare, but welcome sight for UCM forces on the battlefields of the Reconquest.

### In-Game

Though immediately comparable to the New Cairo, the Berlin is able to stand on its own thanks to its superior durability and overall firepower. Lining up a Cobra will result in the ship drifting towards the enemy line - a risky play for New Cairos, but not a problem for the Berlin. Once its closed the gap, the Berlin can also contribute extra firepower with its mass drivers and CAW, giving it slightly more value in the thick of an engagement.
Asumiko Nakamura

**Asumiko Nakamura** (中村 明日美子, *Nakamura Asumiko*, born January 5) is a Japanese manga artist, born in Kanagawa Prefecture. She began her career as an author in 2000. She is best known for her boys' love manga and her major work is *Doukyuusei* which was released in 2006–07. The manga was made into an animated movie in 2016 that made 200 million JPY at the box office. It has also spawned several sequel and spin-off works in 2007–20 including *Sotsugyousei*, Sora to Hara, *O.B.*, *blanc*, (which also spawned audio dramas), and Home. In 2012, Nakamura released a mystery manga called *Utsubora - A Story of a Novelist*, which was translated and published into English by Vertical. Other major works include *Kimiyoubi: Tetsudo Syoujo Manga 2*, *Kaori no Keishō* , *Ano Hi, Seifuku de* , which have charted on Oricon's best-selling manga in 2015.

In drawings, she represents herself as a penguin with the "中" *(naka)* kanji on its stomach.

## Trivia

* Her zodiac sign is Capricorn.
* In tweets, she will sign off with "[中]", the kanji for "naka" from her surname, to indicate she wrote the tweet herself.
* Originally, she planned to end the *Doukyuusei* series at *O.B.*, stating that she felt she couldn't continue writing about their lives as she knew Kumi would die in the future, and that it wouldn't be nice to portray it. She also stated that she felt she should leave it up to the reader's imagination. However, she changed her mind after seeing many great manga authors pass away, and felt that perhaps they had ongoing series that had to be aborted prematurely, and that she did not want that to happen to *Doukyuusei.* She also felt that if she never continued the story, it would "disappear without anyone knowing it."

Toufu Daiichi High School

Toufu Daiichi High School *(東府第一高等学校; also known as "East First Senior High School")* is a location in the Doukyuusei series. It is the high school where Rihito Sajou and Hikaru Kusakabe meet and serves as the main setting for much of Doukyuusei and Sotsugyousei. Starting as an all-boys school, it becomes co-ed some time after Rihito and Hikaru's graduation. It is generally considered to be a low-ranking school, Rihito being the only honor student at the time of his enrollment.

## Uniform

The summer uniform consists of a short-sleeved, white collared shirt, with a red necktie and navy blue pants. The winter uniform is mostly the same, but with a long-sleeved shirt and navy blue blazer. Students have the option to wear a dull green-yellow sweater underneath the blazer, or to forgo the blazer entirely. The indoor shoes are white and red and resemble a typical pair of uwabaki.

### Tracksuits

The tracksuits are red and white in color and resemble a typical school tracksuit.

## Trivia

* "東府" is mistakenly romanized as "Tofuya" in the official English translation.
	+ "東府" can be read a few different ways, but the correct pronunciation is confirmed to be "Toufu" in the Doukyuusei drama CD.
Succubus Destroyer

The Succubus is a class of destroyer constructed by the Scourge. More common than both the Incubus and Revenant destroyers, the Succubus has become a familiar sight on the battlefields of the Reconquest. Though rarer to encounter than Scourge frigates, Succubi and other destroyers are being increasingly deployed by the Scourge in situations where they're outnumbered. In such scenarios, a destroyer's unique blend of speed, flexibility, and firepower is exceptionally useful.

The Succubus is the quintessential Scourge example of the above statement - its weaponry lets it confront capital ships and lighter vessels alike, and it can even take on enemy strike carriers that assume themselves to be safe in the atmosphere. Though its power consumption can lead to conspicuous energy spikes, the Succubus has been seen mounted with a cloaking crest to help mitigate this. Though obviously powerful, not every Succubus has one, leading UCMF naval experts to speculate that these crests are highly resource-intensive to produce.

### In-Game

The Succubus is a curious beast that's armed with a pair of Oculus beams, in addition to a unique CAW with Re-Entry. As a result, the Succubus can be used to hunt down enemy strike carriers, or can be employed against enemy heavies as an efficient source of Lock 3+ D2 shots with Scald. Don't forget about the optional cloaking crest if you plan on letting these gals go Weapons Free.
Happy Ending

**Happy Ending** (originally *Happy Ending 2*) is a comic that was originally included as part of the *Class Reunion* booklet distributed at the 2014 *Doukyuusei* series art exhibit, *Graduation Ceremony*. It was then included in the 2016 revised edition of Sotsugyou Album, and then again in the *Rings* booklet (along with *The Date, Gold Ring,* and *Silver Ring*) that came with special editions of *Blanc* volume 1, and in the English release of *Blanc.*

**Manabu Hara** *(原学; Hara Manabu)* is a character in the Doukyuusei series. He is the former high school teacher of Hikaru Kusakabe, Rihito Sajou, Tani and Sorano Aoto, and currently works at Toufu Daiichi High School. He is currently dating Sorano.

## Bio

### Apperance

From Doukyuusei to Sora to Hara, Hara has permed dark brown (possibly black) hair and a goatee. From O.B. onward, he has cut his hair, it now being short and choppy. In his younger days, Hara had short straight hair, with parted bangs framing the sides of his face.

### Personality

Hara is usually pretty laidback, but can be quite strict as a teacher. Despite being an authority figure, he can be quite childish and petty. He is known to be manipulative, particularly towards Rihito and Hikaru, and their relationship. He appears to think waiting until a student graduates to date them is morally correct. Despite this, it does not stop him from sexually harassing Rihito at least twice out of jealousy of his relationship with Hikaru. After Sora to Hara, he moves on from Rihito, and is now dating Sorano. In blanc, he encourages Hikaru to make up with Rihito.

### Background

In his high school days, he and Satoshi Arisaka, then a teacher at Toufu Daiichi, have an encounter. Hara kisses him, and it's eventually revealed Arisaka already had an attraction to him despite being married and his teacher. Shortly after this encounter, Hara finds out that Arisaka is married and having a child, and is preparing to leave the school. This distresses Hara.

Djinn Frigate

The Djinn is a class of frigate designed and constructed by the Scourge. Fast and ultra-aggressive, the Djinn best personifies the Scourge attitude towards war. Its primary armament includes an enhanced version of the same plasma cannons equipped by other Scourge frigates, giving the Djinn excellent destructive power at close ranges. To compensate for enemy point defence, Djinns are often deployed in packs, the better to overwhelm their prey.

As fairly light vessels, Djinns are heavily reliant on stealth and speed to close the distance on their targets. As a result, Djinns will either run silently until they reach sprinting distance, or will wait in atmosphere for their foes to come close. The latter is particularly potent, as aggressors may elect to not approach, thus allowing the Djinn to hold ground without needing to fire a shot.

### In-Game

The Djinn is one of the best frigates in the Scourge arsenal and plays exceptionally well with their close action strategies. A maxed-out group of these can fire 6D6+12 shots, easily outpacing the point defence of all but the most well-defended ships while shredding their armour thanks to Scald, making Djinns exceptionally useful in suicide strikes against key targets.

Venice Command Battlecruiser

The Venice is a class of battlecruiser designed and constructed by the United Colonies of Mankind. While most UCM admirals take to the field in battleships or dreadnoughts, the need for a specialist command ship led to the eventual creation of the Venice. On top of being extremely durable - the better to protect its precious cargo - the Venice is equipped with a unique communications array that grants any officer mounted in the ship access to peerless battlespace awareness, crystal-clear comms, and advanced spatial mapping. That said, this comms array is highly expensive and extremely large, preventing it from being mounted on any other ship of a similar tonnage.

### In-Game

The Venice is the cornerstone of most UCM fleets thanks to its extremely powerful UCM Battlenet special rule. Once per turn when a battlegroup activates, the UCM player can discard a Command card to increase the Thrust of every ship in the battlegroup, let them fire an additional weapon during the activation, or move between orbital layers without penalty - potent indeed. Though its firepower is relatively lacking, that's by far and away a fair price to pay for such an ability.

時計のいらない　はかれない長さの春を

浮き立っては歩いて行く　二人の距離

数センチが　とても遠い

ほら今　飛び立て　夏の雲を手で掴んだ

形がなく　くすぐったい　ような気持ちで

風に吹かれ　焦っていた

行こう

憶えているかい　どこへいくのか

決めないでいいよ　このまま続けよう

時計の針を巻こう　境目のみえない秋に

身を縮めて歩いていく　二人の距離

数センチは　特別な何かで

思い出せるかい　出会った日のこと

今も変わらず　あのまま続いてる

ほら今　飛び立とう　巡りゆく季節の端で

思うことは　どこまでいけるかってことで

風に吹かれ　期待してた

Itsumademo

Merrily, we walk along the unmeasurable length of springtime

I don't need to look at my watch. The distance between us,

Those centimeters, are so very far

And now, I leapt, and grabbed the summer clouds

With vague, embarrassing feelings inside me

Blown in the wind, I was nervous

Let's go

Do you remember? Where we're going?

It's ok to not know, let's just continue as we are

I'll wind my watch, towards the far-away start of autumn

Shying away, I walk along. The distance between us,

Those centimeters, are somehow special

Can you recall? The day we met?

Nothing's changed, we're moving at the same pace

And now, I leap, from the tip of the turning seasons

I don't know how far these thoughts will take me

Blown in the wind, I'll have hope

Forever
Blanc

## Drama CD

A fully voice acted drama CD for Blanc was released on October 28, 2021. Kenji Nojima, Hiroshi Kamiya, and Hideo Ishikawa reprise their roles as Rihito, Hikaru and Hara respectively. However, Jun Fukuyama (Sorano) and Yuuki Ono (Hibiki) do not reprise their roles and as such their characters' scenes are written out of the CD entirely.

## Trivia

* The manga release includes a prologue and an epilogue not seen in the original OPERA run of the series.
* The special edition of blanc #1 came with a booklet, "Rings", compiling four previously published side comics relating to their engagement. These are:
	+ **During A Date**
	+ **Gold Ring**
	+ **Silver Ring**
	+ **Happy Ending**
* "Blanc" means "white" in French, likely referring to their wedding.
	+ When Rihito describes his future in chapter 1, he uses the word *"真っ白 (Masshiro)"* meaning "pure white", further tying in with the name of the manga. Masshiro can also mean "blank", sounding similar to "blanc".
* The subtitle for volume 1 is *"２０歳になったらー (Hatachi ni nattara...)"* and volume 2's is *”ー結婚して。(...Kekkon shite.)”,* meaning "When we turn 20... marry me."
	+ This is a line said by Hikaru in Sotsugyousei.
* The Seven Seas Entertainment English translation will be released as an omnibus, rather than as two volumes like the original.
	+ It will also include the comics from the "Rings" booklet, rather than it being bonus content with a special edition like the original release. This is likely to make it less confusing for readers and easier to access the important events which took place between O.B. and blanc.
Bronze Battleship

The Bronze is a class of battleship designed and constructed by the Shaltari Tribes. Though all Shaltari ships can be considered unusual to a certain extent, the Bronze is particularly odd due to its choice of armaments. On its fore, the class mounts an ion cannonade - twin rows of ion weapons with shockingly high rates of fire, which can play havoc with the power systems of its targets. Meanwhile, on its back, the Bronze packs a gravitic beamer - a weapon that manipulates the gravity of its targets, much like the gravity coils mounted on the Aquamarine light cruiser. Though damaging enough at a basic level, the gravitic beamer is perhaps more dangerous due to its ability to affect targets in the atmosphere, and due to its ability to literally shove ships across the void, potentially into danger.

Besides its more esoteric weapons, the Bronze has only the microwave array banks at close range to fall back on , forcing it to rely heavily on finding creative uses with its primary armaments. As a result, the Bronze is often found in the hands of the most cunning Starchiefs, who can use its unusual weaponry to maximize lethality while frustrating the enemy commander.

### In-Game

More unfocused than its sisters, the Bronze has access to creative tools and will need to find the right times and places to deploy them. At worst, the Bronze can inflict Energy Surges/Power Fluctuations on a ship per turn, while potentially ripping apart enemy strike carriers that fancy themselves safe in atmosphere.
Voidgate

Voidgates are a unique type of vessel constructed by the Shaltari Tribes. Similarly to the strike carriers of other factions, Voidgates are used to enable orbital deployment of troops - however, while strike carriers physically transport their cargo, Voidgates are simply a conduit for Shaltari teleportation. After reaching their destination, Voidgates are able to teleport normal Shaltari Gates (such the Eden or the Gaia) from a nearby mothership into the atmosphere. This ensures that even if the Voidgate is destroyed, no actual ground troops are lost - they can remain safely aboard their vessel and wait for another Voidgate to reach the landing site. Voidgates can also be used to reroute ground forces between each other, allowing the Shaltari to make the most of their limited manpower.

Despite their importance to Shaltari ground operations, Voidgates are only lightly armoured and lack any kind of armament, though the energetic disturbances they make while in atmosphere can be directed at enemy vessels or atmospheric assets as a form of weaponry. These ships are also rarely named or given more than a skeleton crew, indicating that the Shaltari do not regard these as true warships and simply use them as tools to enable landing operations.

### In-Game

Voidgates are the strike carrier equivalents for the Shaltari, and as such are near mandatory in any Shaltari list. That said, these have a couple edges over the competition - their weapon can hit on 5's in atmosphere, they count as defence batteries for sniping out enemy dropships/bulk landers, and can teleport troops between themselves to help spread your forces out. Just make sure you take enough to max out on your gate deployment, since each Voidgate can only deploy one gate per turn.
Gold Supercarrier

The Gold is a class of battleship designed and constructed by the Shaltari Tribes. Similarly to its sister classes, the Silver and Bronze, the Gold is a relatively new and rare sight on the battlefields of the Reconquest. Since none were sighted prior to 2672, it is assumed to be newly developed - however, as with everything regarding the Shaltari, the United Colonies of Mankind has only guesses.

Though the Gold is a supercarrier much in the same vein as the Platinum class, it tends to act significantly more aggressive once battle is joined due to its banks of microwave arrays. These terrifying weapons can melt through armor or cook enemy crews alive within their vessels, making it an extremely dangerous vessel at close range. To protect itself at close range, the Gold also packs the ion cannonade of the Bronze class to disable the enemy's biggest threat - and that's before it unleashes its swarms of Shaltari fighters and bombers. As a result, the Gold has a reputation as one of the Shaltari's premier assets, and is favored by the most aggressively-minded Starchiefs.

### In-Game

Though packing the same level of launch as the Platinum, the Gold is significantly more expensive, meaning it's forced into a more aggressive play pattern where it has to get value from its microwave arrays and ion cannonade. This is potentially risky for the class, as its more fragile than the battleships of other races, but comes with a theoretically high reward if its damage is able to get through.

Newton Kill-Sat

### Known ships of the class

His Apple, Principia, Spear of Gabriel (Independents)Forgehammer, Portcullis, Rampart (Kalium)

The Newton Kill-Sat is an old orbital defence platform most commonly found in Resistance fleets. This unassuming vessel was once one of the most common types of monitors found in mankind's service prior to the Scourge invasion, employed to not only quell thoughts of insurrection on the colonies it orbited, but also to level rough terrain for future colonisation efforts with its mass driver. When the Scourge finally descended on humanity, the Newton was found sadly lacking, as its slow speed and limited firing arcs were no match for the speed of the enemy vessels.

Despite this, the Newton has found a new lease on life with the Resistance. Though difficult to maneuver into a firing position, this monitor can nonetheless provide powerful anti-ship or bombardment firepower once positioned.

### In-Game

The Newton is one of the only non-Shaltari ships in the game to have access to a Particle weapon, allowing it to almost one-shot smaller enemy vessels or chip in for consistent damage against larger targets. That said, the Newton absolutely needs the support of the rest of the fleet to light up its targets, as its slow speed and relative lack of survivability means that it can't reliably close to Scan range.
Toulon Frigate

The Toulon is a class of frigate designed and constructed by the United Colonies of Mankind, and is the standard combat frigate for the faction. Dependable and cost-effective, the Toulon is a workhorse for the UCMF, capable of taking on equivalent-sized enemy vessels with ease or larger warships if deployed in numbers. Its unique hull design proved remarkably successful following its initial development, paving the way for the rest of UCM frigate to follow in its footsteps. This includes the choice of armament - the UF-2200 "Foe-Hammer" mass driver, first used on the Toulon, has become the standard for frigate-class vessels employed by the UCM.

Toulons have been the first command for many UCMF captains, and are ideal postings for the young and ambitious. Part of this is also due to sheer numbers - there are close to 400 Toulon-class frigates on the UCMF's registry, making it a common part of the fleet and a mainstay for years to come.

### In-Game

These shooty little gunboats can bully enemy ships with poor Armour values thanks to the number of shots they can put out. Take these in groups of at least three or four to enable the Squadron rule on their guns and send them after light enemy vessels. Toulons don't have as much damage as Taipeis, but can also put out shots at greater range.
Parasite Radiation Leech

The Parasite is a class of cutter constructed by the Scourge, and a potent tool that assists with their stealth-based combat doctrines. Through the use of its energy siphon, a Parasite can absorb excess hull energy from other ships into itself, keeping its allies hidden from enemies even while they perform high-intensity maneuvers. Meanwhile, the Parasite repurposes the excess energy to supercharge its oculus weaponry to cruiser-levels of power, letting it punch above its weight. Parasites in close proximity can also share this energy, meaning that only one vessel needs to gain a dangerously high signature.

As a cutter-class vessel, the Parasite is exceptionally fast and can use this speed to rapidly close on enemy ships before disgorging its supercharged plasma. When employed aggressively in this way, Parasites can also siphon energy from enemy vessels to maintain their weapon power, since large signatures are less tactically-relevant during close-quarters combat.

### In-Game

The Parasite is exceptionally useful thanks to its Energy Siphon rule. Large vessels can perform energy-intensive maneuvers like Weapons-Free, then have the spike removed by a Parasite. If you're feeling particularly gutsy, the Parasites can then fling themselves at the enemy with their blistering 16" Thrust before unloaded their supercharged oculus rays into a target.
Moyuru Wakaba

**Moyuru Wakaba** (萌ゆる若葉; *lit. "Budding Leaves")* is a song in the Doukyuusei series. Specifically, it is the song Rihito and Hikaru's second year class was tasked with performing for their school's choir recital, and also the song Hikaru offers to teach Rihito to sing properly.

## Trivia

* Home was originally serialized with the title "Futarigurashi" (Living Together), but was eventually changed to "Home" for the tankoubon's release, as they don't begin living together until the final chapter. It is also possible this was done to avoid confusion with the webcomic of the same name.

Антон

Миша - друг

Знакомый - друг

Самуэль - союзник

*«В одиночку мы уже не сможем с этим справиться».*

— Антон
Антон - подросток, одноклассник Влада и Миши, который вёл собственный блог о музыке, но когда Крылатый Дуэт пропал, Антон стал изучать различные тайны своего города и присоединился к Мише и Владу.

## Биография

### 2 сезон

После исчезновения своих двух одноклассников, Антон стал искать их.

И чем дольше он их искал, тем глубже погружался в то, что скрывает за собой этот город. Антон стал сидеть на различных сайтах и форумах, общаться с посвященными в это людьми. Но чтобы полностью раскрыть дело, ему были необходимы Миша и Влад. К тому же пропала их одноклассница Мира. Антон связывается с Мишей и Владом, и вместе они пытаются понять, что всё-таки таят за собой эти события. С помощью Знакомого, ребята узнают, что за всем стоит и Культ и продолжают искать Миру, всячески мешая культам.

### 3 сезон

Антон и Миша находят Миру и узнают, что им нужно предотвратить нахождение оккультистами шести артефактов. Выясняется, что у Антона был брат, которого принесли в жертву оккультисты. Весь сезон Антон пытается начать нормально общаться с Мишей и вклиниться. Параллельно, он изучает Культы, посвящая все своё время им. Он изучает записи, книги артефакты, всё это в его голове днями и ночами. Где-то с середины сезона волю Антона начинает ломать Тенебрис, он проникает в его разум, пытаясь подчинить парня себе.

В восьмой серии сезона мы видим апогей этих изучений, Антон всю серию чувствует себя неважно, а в конце серии Тенебрис полностью завладевает его разумом. В девятой серии Антон, под контролем Тенебриса, проводит обряд, призывая его на Землю, когда портал открывается, Антон выходит из контроля демона, но врата уже открыты. Антон читает заклинание закрытия портала и исчезает вместе с ним.

## Характер и взаимоотношения

При том, что Антон был чертовски любознателен и сам полез в изучение культов, на практике он всё-таки был не так уж бесстрашен. Часто парень паниковал, когда дело шло не по плану, и, видимо, поначалу он даже не до конца понимал во что лезет. Антон страдает бессонницей в период третьего сезона, всё из-за Тенебриса, медленно проникающего в разум школьника. После возвращения из портала Антон стал взрослее, крепче и более отчаянным. Теперь культы не пугали его, он был готов лезть в самое пекло бойни, чтобы защитить друзей.

### Миша

В начале знакомства Миша недолюбливал Антона и подозревал его. Антон много раз пытался идти на сближение, но удалось это только в 3 серии 3 сезона, когда Миша в принципе пересмотрел свои взгляды на жизнь и на друзей. С того момента, у ребят хоть и остались отголоски прошлых разногласий, но медленными шагами они шли к искренней крепкой дружбе. Дошло до того, что когда одержимый Антон напал на Мишу, тот даже не пытался атаковать, а лишь оборонялся. И когда Антон попал в измерение Тенебриса, Миша закрыл старый блог. При этом в четвёртом сезоне Антон был готов пойти почти на всё, чтобы помочь Мише в его проблеме с личностями, что окончательно закрепило за ними статус друзей.
Jiyuu Gakuen Myounichikan

**Jiyuu Gakuen Myounichikan** (*自由学園明日館*), also known as the **House of Tomorrow,** is a real-life location featured in the Doukyuusei series, specifically Blanc. It serves as the venue of Rihito Sajou and Hikaru Kusakabe's wedding.

## In Blanc

In chapter 7, Hikaru is taken to Myounichikan by Hiraoka to propose using the location as the site of Hikaru's music video. Hiraoka mentions its tendency to be booked on weekends for events. He talks about how it would be a good place for a wedding, causing Hikaru to recall his and Rihito's promise to get married when they turn 20 years old in Sotsugyousei. Hikaru is later shown staring at the outside of the building in thought.

In chapter 11, Hikaru and Rihito hold their wedding ceremony at the site.

## In Real Life

Jiyuu Gakuen Myounichikan was originally a Christian girls' school built by Frank Lloyd Wright and his assistant Arata Endo, completed in 1921. It consists of four buildings: the main, the east, and the west buildings, and the auditorium. The main campus was eventually moved to Minamisawa in 1934, and the structure remained. It was designated a National Important Cultural Asset in 1997. Restoration work was conducted on it from January 1999 to September 2001, the building being nearly 80 years old at the time.

Since November 2001, it has been open to the public when not in use for weddings and other events.

Like many Ghakskerki (Churches in other small villages which are of the same style), this church contains seats around all the walls, but unusualy, the seats are wooden.

### Vettra's stone

In the graveyard of the church is a 13th century gravestone with the inscription;

*Anno MCCLXXI barduro og harmitkraevt det slaaser og i de est det uilken harmitkraevtsk i slad modersael sebesen han hikaler han.*

光に溶けてく君の横顔

消えてしまいそうで思わず手を伸ばす

夏に始まった２人

いくつもの季節こえて行けるの

そばにいてずっといて　眠れない夜は

君の声　君の瞳　心ざわめくよ

間に合うかな　届くのかな

駆け出した僕の恋心

君をどうか　笑って

Hikari ni toketeku kimi no yokogao

Kiete shimaisou de omowazu te wo nobasu

Natsu ni hajimatta futari

Ikutsumono kisetsu koete yukeru no

Soba ni ite　zutto ite　nemurenai yoru wa

Kimi no koe　kimi no hitomi　kokoro zawameku yo

Maniau ka na　todoku no ka na

Kakedashita boku no koigokoro

Kimi o douka　waratte

Your profile melts into the light

As if you’ll disappear, I reach out my hand without thinking

It all began in that summer

We overcame countless seasons together

Stay by my side, always by my side, on sleepless nights

Your voice, your eyes stir my heart and keep me awake

Am I out of time? Can I still reach you?

My love is rushing out

Please, smile
