Project #2

Sudden Bloom (comics / novel?)

Republic University is formerly an exclusive all-female
academy that changed its curriculum few years back by
accepting male applicants to keep up with the growing
competition with other prestigious universities. They are
renowned however for producing alumnis that will later
went on to become talented idols and celebrities in the
local scene thru their exclusive all-female Theater Drama
Club. The club recognizes the need to preserve its tradition
as the new curriculum took place by segregating the Drama
Club into two sub-groups: the main drama club that stars
both male and female actors and the Lily Theater Guild
(abbrv. as LTG) which retains the original curriculum’s
all-female ensemble. The school’s prestigous drama club
also follows a unique system that allows both high school
and college students to participate under a set of strict
rules based on their academic prerequisites.

Enter a college freshman, Odessa, who is new to the school
environment like a fish out of water. Her close friend from
middle school Agatha, dragged her to join the reputable
drama club even for just one act so they can get to know
and befriend upperclassmen. What started as a one-time gig
became a surprising addictive extracurricular as Odessa gets
immersed at the lifestyle, the complex lives and personalities
of LTG’s drama actors.
