"A3!" is a hugely popular smartphone app game. It's a hot topic right now, a game where you train handsome actors. With its charming characters and interesting story, the number of users continues to grow even years after its release. With an anime adaptation scheduled for 2020, it's likely to become even more popular. Incidentally, "A3!" features a variety of duos. In fact, when you go on a "working abroad" mission in the game, each pair is given a duo name. So which duos are the most popular? In this article, we'll introduce some of the most popular duos in "A3!". Is your favorite duo on the list? Let's check it out now!
Popular Duo Ranking: #1 - "The Serious Gamer Group"
The "Serious Gamer Group" is an overwhelmingly popular duo, consisting of Itaru Chigasaki and Mari Settsu! It's sometimes abbreviated to "Gachige Group." Each character enjoys considerable popularity. Combining the top two characters in a popularity poll, it's no surprise they're so popular. Chigasaki Itaru is a kind-hearted man on the surface, but a heavy-spending gamer on the inside, while Settsu Mari is a skillful delinquent who can handle anything. Settsu, who can do anything, is the only one who can't beat Itaru in games. The two share the traits of being overly skilled elites and seemingly unmotivated.
Popular Duo Ranking #2: "I Won't Lose Even If I Die"
Just from the name of the duo, they sound pretty strong! This is the duo of Settsu Banri and Hyodo Juza. Settsu Banri, who thought he could do anything and had no motivation for anything, spent his days fighting, and the first time he tasted defeat, it was against Juza. Wanting to get revenge on Juza, Banri joined the MANKAI Company. As a result, they were initially rivals. However, in the first performance, "How Wonderfully Picaresque," the two were cast in the lead and supporting roles... It seemed like they couldn't possibly handle it under those conditions, but Sakyo came up with a bold plan: to handcuff each other to each other while they lived together! Perhaps this worked, as their hostility somehow transformed into a competitive spirit, determined to create something great for each other.
Popular Duo Ranking #3: "The Nosy Noise Pillow"
Next up in the popular duo rankings is "The Nosy Noise Pillow," featuring Arisugawa Homare and Mikage Mitsuru. The two share a room in the dormitory. They both starred and co-starred in the play "My Husband is Obsessed with Mysteries." By the way, you might be wondering "What is a pillow?", but the names of duos that involve Mitsu have the word "pillow" in them. "Super Very Hard Pillow," "Moderately Low-Rebound Pillow," etc. By the way, there's even an "Ultra Relaxing Bed"! Arisugawa Homare says he doesn't understand people's hearts, but he still continues to look out for Mitsu. As the character says, "meddlesome," Mitsu always brushes him off, but he also has a side to him that makes him reflexively eat the marshmallows that Homare has.
Popular Duo Ranking: 3rd Place: "Please Give Me a User Manual"
Ranked third is the duo "Please Give Me a User Manual" consisting of Tsuzuru Minagi and Itaru Chigasaki. Chigasaki's appearance here is no surprise, as he's a popular character. They are two very different types of people. While Minagi is amazed at Chigasaki's constant gaming, he is also clearly intrigued by Chigasaki's ability to do anything with ease. "Please Give Me a User Manual" seems to be a voice within Minagi, unsure of how to treat Chigasaki. Although they're both in the Spring Troupe, fans seem to enjoy the fact that Minagi is a little more rude towards Chigasaki. Minagi is a hard-working older brother and a skilled part-timer with a variety of part-time job experiences. Chigasaki is an elite office worker with a cheating personality, making them an odd couple.
Popular Duo Ranking: 4th Place: "Gacha Pinch Hitter"
The duo "Gacha Pinch Hitter," whose name leaves you wondering, is made up of Chigasaki Itaru and Sakuma Sakuya, both members of the Spring Troupe. Chigasaki also makes the list! Gacha refers to the gacha in games. When Chigasaki, who is a gamer, wants to draw a rare card with a low probability of success in the game, he uses Sakuma as his gacha substitute. Apparently, if you ask Sakuma to draw, you'll get a good card... As an "A3!" user, I'm sure you'd love to have such a godly hand. Even so, the pairing of these two people with completely different personalities is heartwarming to watch.
Popular Combo Ranking: 5th Place: "Cafe Tomo"
Next up in 5th place is "Cafe Tomo," the duo of Tsumugi Tsukioka and Mari Settsu. Mari Settsu, ranked 2nd in the Popular Character Ranking, also made an appearance here. During the Valentine's Day event "February's Magic: Bitter & Sweet," these two became a hot topic when their awakened card illustrations looked like they were having tea together. "Cafe Tomo" is such a cute name for a couple! Apparently, when they go to a cafe together, they tend to stay longer than usual. They even share their cafe recommendations!
Popular Duo Ranking #6: "The Fighting Pair 24/7"
As the duo's name suggests, this constantly quarrelsome duo is comprised of Tenma Sumeragi and Yuki Rurikawa from the Summer Troupe. The egocentric Tenma Sumeragi and the tsundere Rurikawa are always arguing about something. However, they're not on bad terms, and Rurikawa's gratitude to Tenma is clearly evident. Perhaps the more they fight, the closer they are. It's heartwarming to watch.
Popular Duo Ranking: 7th Place: "The Caring Roommate Pair"
Next up in 7th place is the "The Caring Roommate Pair." As the title suggests, these two share a dorm room, Fushimi Omi and Nanao Taichi. For two dormmates, being roommates is sure to foster a bond unlike any other. These two starred in the lead and supporting roles in the Autumn Troupe's second production, "Stranger." They also share a common past, and many fans were touched by their journeys overcoming trauma. Omi's tolerance and Taichi's dependence on him make a great pair to watch!
Popular Duo Ranking #8: "My First Otomodati?"
Tenma and Miyoshi's "My First Otomodati" duo comes in at #8. Tenma is a rich kid with a self-centered personality, and he's been working in the entertainment industry since he was a child, so it seems like he has trouble making friends. Meanwhile, Miyoshi is a bit of a playboy and has many friends, but most of them are shallow and shallow, making it difficult for him to find true friends he can talk to openly. Tenma says Miyoshi is his "first friend." Miyoshi, for his part, seems to treat him fairly, completely ignoring the fact that Tenma is a celebrity, even secretly taking photos of him while he's sleeping.
