This is a very faithful adaptation of the stage play. Everything seems to be word for word.
Also the facial expressions here are just as on-point. Their facial expressions are exactly the same as the real actors' during the stage play. Again, very faithful adaptation.
The artwork is superb. It can't be easy drawing all of their uniforms, hairstyles, and the backgrounds in such exquisite detail. Not to mention the weapons and action poses. I quite liked how with the manga setting, it's easier to change the stage, so they could show the classroom and different versions of the Twilight Theatre. The visual depiction of some moments, like on 1025 is also significantly more dramatic. I didn't realize that's the effect they were trying to go for, the stage itself crumpling up in an attempt to defeat them.
Quite liked this. It does its job perfectly which is transfer the stage play to manga form. The only things it's missing would be the live action parts, which of course can't be transferred. A shame since the fighting in this play is lively and dynamic.
