Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Takarazuka Revue's otokoyaku (male-role performers) traditionally attract massive female fanbases, making this military romance between women performing masculinity a layered queer text—intentionally or not.
Maki Ichiro was one of Takarazuka's most iconic top stars; this 1994 film adaptation preserved her Thierry near the end of her stage career.
