Sigh :(, if only I knew Japanese T_T.

Better yet, I hope that there is an english version available somehow in the near future.

Oh... I'm not sure what to think about this... :O

But like some people said, it's not that unusual to have all male actors...

Still... I'm a bit surprised. I would watch it if I were in Japan XD

back in the day, it used to be all male actors so its not something new or unusual. it just isn't mainstream anymore.

Yes, but neither Noh nor Kabuki had the part of Tohru. D:

i guess the director or producer is somehow influenced by the traditional japanese theatre, where females werent allowed to act on a stage


This. And it makes sense in a way. Furuba doesn't seem like the kind of series that, if translated onto the stage, would be done conventionally.

Looking forward to subs of this, lol :D
