Exit Zero
Always looking for the next big thing, Kodansha is showing off another series being done in Nakayaoshi this week with a look at Exit Zero from Haruhi Seta. The shoujo series began back in October of 2012 and had a few chapters out at this point to entice fans with. Seta has worked on a couple of books before with the 2009 short story collection Love Maniacs and the two volume 2008 series Kodomo ja Nai Kara!, both of which also ran in Nakayaoshi. The new promo is a rather amusing piece overall, especially with the music that it ends up using along the way.
Plot concept: Akabane Yuuhi, a 15-year-old girl who aspires to become an actress. Well, her dream might soon come true. She has been accepted into ‘Diamond Actors Academy’, a very prestigious school which trains young boys and girls to become actors. Many famous actors and actresses graduated from this school. So, of course, Yuuhi is excited. But, things start to get a bit weird. Just what is up with their teacher, Otome Kasumi? The acting is getting a tad too realistic to be considered acting. Things are getting really creepy. Is the school really what it seems? Or is there more to this school than meets the eye?
