One of the reasons why Harry have so many fans is his looks, and Cheritz just destroyed his charm. They said like it's our fault for not barking at their ears everyday how we loved S1 art and story, so only took in haters' voice of wanting more sensational writing with cartoon art. I never thought we need to treat a 10 yrs company like a baby to tell them how we think in every single details. But Cheritz take our undetstanding and peaceful attitude as we don't care, we don't have any opinions of them changing this game into neither fish nor fowl.

No point going for cartoon style if you can't manage Tear of Themis/Light&Night quality like Chinese mobile otome games. No point using money on video calls when you're cutting budget on good artist if you can't make Live 2D similar to Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3 's level (a more than 10 yrs old game)

I'm sorry why can't the video calls be a toggle!! It feels like they restrict the calls more than anything. There are multiple calls where harry is moving around, one even when he's jerked around in a car. With how rudimentary Cheritz's video calls are, I'd rather have it stay voice only.

Also when that video they posted of harry finally loaded it was a jumpscare the only part i like is this

Getting Kei Hazuki's Ending: Tips and Tricks

Weeks ago, I decided to challenge myself and get Kei Hazuki's ending again, this time knowing how things work out in the game and taking the risk in hopes I get his ending successfully again this time 😅 I was really scared when I started doing this because not getting his ending could result in a feeling of loss and a heartbreak(at least for me ahaha 😅).

So,let's get started with this guide I made in my mind and I'm finally typing it down. Hope this will help you!

•Always follow the horoscope when pursuing Kei,your success rate on activities each week depends on it.

• I chose Arisawa's room at the start

•As per a blogpost about getting Kei's ending, I decided to join the cheerleading club when aiming for the male lead of every TMGS series. Cheerleading club raises your fitness, arts, charm and social. It decreases intelligence and doesn't affect style.

This is the link of the blogpost,it's a really helpful one, I'd recommend you guys read it if you haven't: https://www.google.com/amp/s/bishieholic.com/2011/02/11/tokimeki-memorial-girls-side-1st-love-plus-hazuki-kei/amp/

•Work at Coffee House ALUCARD. For some unknown reason, the cafe is always the best job to work for at TMGS1 and TMGS2 since it raises all your parameters(including stress 😂) and both coffee house ALUCARD and Sangosho are involved with the male leads of their respective parts, so it raises your affection with them a bit.

•Also, at the start of the game, only buy 1 under, 1 bottom and 1 overall at Boutique Sofia. I'd recommend this so you can switch out the clothes for 2 dates(one for April and one for May) then buy at the Flea Market which is available every 4 months since they have 50% sale there. First Flea Market will be at 1st Year May, so I recommend to buy at that time to save more money hehe. Spend your money wisely! Even a video game teaches you that 😆

•Don't accept any study dates or dates from Himuro or Amanohashi,they can't bomb you.

•Use most of your Sundays and holidays to raise parameters since raising parameters is faster in those days mentioned.

•After you've raised your charm past 120 and working at ALUCARD(you might wanna get Kei's DS exclusive CG, it's really beautiful but also looks odd because MC's face is blocked by light 🤣), you should leave the cheerleading club.

• Starting in 2nd year, I found it better using the main commands than using the ones with your friends since your parameters increase faster when you are doing things alone in the game. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't study,discuss,read or play with your friends in the game, it's just a recommended tip. Anyways, back to the topic. Like for example: Studying with Arisawa increases your Intelligence and Arts, but decreases your Style and Fitness. However,if you use the Study Alone command, it actually also increases your Style a bit but decreases your Charm and as usual, Fitness.

•You might be wondering: what if I meet too many guys in the game and what if many of them try to bomb me at the same time? You should start meeting most of them in your second year,or if you want to raise your parameters as fast as you can(the more recommendable one), try to date the other guys once every 5-6 months, it somehow works haha(at least for me 😅).

•If they try to bomb you, try to date them at a time they can't accept, like guys with jobs can't accept dates on their workdays, or guys in some clubs can't accept dates on mandatory 3rd Sunday club practices of every month. If they are in none of these, chose a place for the date that they dislike. Like for example, Morimura hates the Indoor Pool and Ski Area. It increases the chance of them not accepting the date and also, it's helpful if the day you called is when the Love horoscope for the week is at ☹️ or (>_<)•

•To raise Kei's affection fast, date him only once a month. He's the type who doesn't like being bothered that much. Wear pure clothes(they are mostly at Boutique Sofia, the one in the Park Area with a Teddy Bear Icon) and hairclips(there are two available at the start of the game at Gen. Store Simon Jewelry Vincent). Also, when pursuing a guy,their affection raises faster if you raise their required parameters fast. I was pleasantly and shockingly surprised when he moved to 🙂 state before New Year! How did I knew that?Because he called to accompany you to the shrine on New Year's Day,and it was the first time in the first New Year I saw him being all happy and smiley and not being neutral haha.

•Always do your best in every event! Always win 1st place in Sports Festival, always make your chocolate perfect, never miss the practices for cultural festival or else you are guaranteed to fail at the Cultural festival (>_<)

•If your money suffices it, buy a yukata(Fireworks Festival) kimono(New Year), swimsuit(Indoor Pool and Beach. It has to be a Pure type of swimsuit or he won't like it). Wearing these outfits for these occasions increases their affection, so go for it if you can! 

UPDATE:It is highly recommended to buy a Yukata. According to a conversation I had with someone in the Tokimemo server, she has a TMGS guidebook and it says it raises +6 affection points. So go save your money and buy one! Do remember that yukatas in the first year are 64 Rich.

•One more thing, at Christmas parties, choose the gift that you think you need or will benefit you.Check fireylight's guide,she has the list of how each item will benefit you. 

Link:https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/934799-tokimeki-memorial-girls-side-1st-love/faqs/48851

•Always wish for good grades on New Year since it increases your intelligence by 10+(at least that's what I remember from reading fireylight's guide)

•Time management is key! Remember that! 

I wonder if I got forgot something or wrote it all...

Btw, I got to fulfill all of his confession requirements at 3rd Year August 8!and it's my first younger sister's birthday,I wonder if something good will happen that day XD 

Some of what happened when I was going for his ending(not important actually,just random things I wanna share and talk about😅):

- Even though I knew all of what happens at his CG events, I still proceeded to read like it was my first time XD

- The only guy and girl I didn't meet in this playthrough is Mihara and Mizuki because I didn't use the Arts command 😅

- I got into rival mode with Shiho(again 😭) even though I haven't been bothering Morimura that much and they are both at 🙂 state. It's good because if she gets Morimura, then that is -1 of the guys you have to bother with if they give you a bomb warning. 

That's all! Hope this helps!

Battle of Wits with the Digital Detective - Chapter 3

Japanese: Aikawa Jun no Shippai, Miss/ion 4: Digital Tantei to no Chiekurabe From Jinrui Saikyou no Tokimeki by Nisio Isin

[Previous Chapter]

“Wha... Did something explode!?”

Kandou had maintained an air of cool composure—or rather, cool derision—all morning, but even she couldn't help being surprised by the flash of light and sound. Nevertheless, Sasa was unable to laugh at her loss of composure.

That was because, as far as losses of composure were concerned, Sasa was equally affected.

What happened?

What on Earth just happened?

“Ahahahahahahahah!”

With neither hesitation nor reservation, the third woman present, Jun Aikawa, broke into a roar of laughter at Kandou's—and perhaps Sasa's—consternation.

“Actually, you know. That wasn't just an explosion, it was a detonation. Someone blew up the underground backup power generator and the electricity cables behind the mansion.”

“S-someone...?”

“Looks like this whole area will be out of power for at least forty-eight hours. They also detonated explosives on the mountain road to cause a landslide, so you can't go down to the foot of the mountain to get more batteries... That laptop of yours will have to rely on the battery you have right now.”

“!”

Kandou seemed to have finally understood the situation, and had managed to recover from her shock.

“W-was this your doing!?”

“Oh, I wonder... Well, I mean, I suppose I can say that this is all totally unrelated to the contest. Which is just to see if your program can properly deduce that I'm the murderer. Right, Sasaki?”

“Y-yes...”

Sasa reflexively confirmed the question, but it wasn't as though she had come as Jun Aikawa's ally. She was simply a neutral observer.

And yet, Sasa had been completely taken in.

Why?

Just what did her friend do?

“B-but... what have you...”

“Well, it's like, the primary weakness of your digital detective. It's digital, so if there's no power, it's totally useless.”

“......!”

So that was the purpose of these... detonations.

She must have made the preparations yesterday. Jun Aikawa certainly had a deep relationship, in various ways, with the Akagami family; all of this could have been easily arranged...

Sasa could readily imagine Jun Aikawa cheerfully, or perhaps excitedly, planting explosives around her friend's house in the middle of the night, and it made her head hurt.

I really should have given up, she thought.

I should have disobeyed the order, even if it meant I got fired.

“D-did you think this would stop Model SH-43? Such an underhanded play?” Kandou glared fiercely at Jun Aikawa. “I'm sorry to tell you, but the battery in this laptop will last at least forty-eight hours. Even if it runs out, there are backup computers in the broadcasting van—”

“I know, I know. Those explosions were just my way of saying hello.”

Jun Aikawa sounded like she was having quite some fun.

She was acting like a total villain.

“If I really wanted to use explosives to decide the contest, I'd blow up the broadcasting van. That said, though, the only reason I didn't was because if I blew up the van, all your henchmen would get blown to bits too.”

It's not like I want to kill anyone, Jun Aikawa said cheekily—after all, she was about to act the part of the murderer.

Looking over, Sasa saw that the smoke rising from behind the mansion was dissipating rapidly. Apparently, the explosive had been set up in such a way as to prevent the spread of fire without needing to be extinguished.

It was certainly not the act of someone who wanted to start a forest fire.

“Well, I mean, if I actually was a criminal plotting a crime, then I'd definitely do something like this to antagonize your digital detective. In the old novels, they'd cut the phone lines a lot, but nowadays you've got to destroy all the power sources. Plus... yeah, you'd probably have to take a hammer or something and smash all the cell phones...”

That's how you could recreate Arashi no Sansou.

Jun Aikawa turned away from Kandou and Sasa and began walking toward the mansion. It really felt like in place of a greeting, she had thrown a preemptive punch.

“......”

Regardless of how reckless she had been with the explosives, the simple fact was that Jun Aikawa loved both theatricality and gunpowder.

A more pragmatic interpretation of her actions might be that she had aimed to jam communications by immersing the mansion in powerful electromagnetic waves.

Perhaps she intended to deal with electronics by using electronics of her own... The detective might be electronic, but it would certainly be unreasonable to expect the criminal to stick to analogue.

As much as the mobile phone had eliminated the Arashi no Sansou scenario, the device could also be utilized in the execution of a crime.

Had she wanted to, Jun Aikawa could probably have decided the contest right then and there...

“Hmph. She's even wilder than the rumors say. She's reckless... or maybe more like a child throwing a tantrum when she doesn't get what she wants. As if she couldn't beat a level in a game, so she pulled out the power cord.”

Kandou did not appear to have pondered Jun Aikawa's actions very far, and simply thought of them as “recklessness”.

Well, that is what anyone would think.

Sasa had simply looked favorably on Jun Aikawa's actions because she was her friend.

As she spoke, Kandou turned off the laptop she was holding and folded it shut, ostensibly to conserve power.

“However, precisely because she represents such an old-fashioned generation, she is quite fitting to be Model SH-43's first opponent.”

…Naturally.

Naturally, in forty-eight hours Taeka Kandou would be forced to retract her statement—rather, she would declare the exact opposite.

That is:

I could have chosen any great criminal mastermind as my enemy, but the one person I should not have made an enemy of is Jun Aikawa.

Just by our eyes suddenly meeting, My heart's rhythm suddenly rises I can't control this "I miss you" Today for sure I'll say those two letters*

Our distance closer than usual Is reflected on the street's glasses That cute smile of yours Is the number one, I need you

Pretend to Be Nice

1806 words

Rating: G Series: Tokimeki Memorial: Girls Side 2nd Kiss Pairing: Daisy x Saeki Teru Summary: A bad storm prevents Mizuki from leaving Sangosho.   Author’s Note: Another one! This was actually my original premise for the One Word Prompt 'Glow', but I wasn't sure if it fit the theme as well as I wanted. But at the same time, I didn't want to abandon this work. So, here it is now! Enjoy! Apologies for any typos!

“Really? All bus service has been suspended? Surely the rain can’t be that bad…”

On cue, a flash of lighting dashed across the window, followed by a large, roaring boom that flickered the lights of the tiny café. Mizuki let out a slight yelp, nearly dropping her phone.

“Okay, well, thank you…” the red-head let out a disappointed sigh and then ended the call.

“So?” Saeki asked, not bothering to look up from the dishes he was drying.

“No luck,” she responded. “All buses are cancelled until the weather eases up a bit. And my parents still don’t seem to be answering,”

“Which means…” The white-haired teen lifted his head, his face going pale once he realized what it meant.

Alone. Together. For who knows how long.

Mizuki twisted her mouth disapprovingly as she saw him put down a cup. They weren’t exactly the best of friends, to put it mildly. His kindness was reserved for the customers of Sangosho and of course, his thrall of fan girls at school. It hadn’t been long since she had moved to the city, but she’d been around Saeki long enough to know that if they had to spend any more time together, there was no guarantee that the two of them would be alive the next day.  

“I’ll just walk home,” she said with a slight huff.

“In the dark? In this storm? By a beach with powerful, crashing waves?” Saeki tried to hold in a laugh as he leaned over the counter. “You really haven’t lived in a port city for awhile, have you?”

Ugh, she hated that smug smirk of his. He just thought he was so smart, didn’t he?

“It’s not that far. I can do it,” she said, insistently. It was just a little bit of rain! It was that or deal with his snarky comments the whole time. “The likeliness of being hit by lightning is one in seven million,”

“Mm-hmm,” he grinned. “And how has your luck been lately, Mizuki?”

“Bite me,” Mizuki responded, sticking her tongue out before she opened the large, wooden door and left.

A wave of regret swept over her as soon as she was outside. She could already feel her body drenched from the heavy rainfall. Then there was the wind, almost powerful enough to sweep her up and take her away. This was less of a storm, and more of a typhoon. It was then that another crack of thunder and lightning erupted across the sky, shaking the ground beneath her.

She took another step and almost immediately, a bolt of lighting hit one of the trees nearby.

A soft whimper escaped her lips.

Sure, the statistics were one in seven million, but maybe… she shouldn’t tempt fate. Her horoscope did call for terrible luck this week. But, that would also mean she’d have to face Saeki’s stupid, smug face. It was truly a difficult choice to make. Mizuki leaned back on the large door and close her eyes. Lightning or Saeki, lightning or Saeki…  

The brunette then felt herself falling backwards, and right onto her bottom as the support behind her disappeared. The door was now wide open, with a familiar white-haired waiter towering over her.

“Oh good. I thought I missed the chance of seeing you get fried by lightning,”

Fine, it was Saeki this time.

“Whatever,” she huffed, standing back up properly and crossing her arms.

“Relax. I’m kidding,” Saeki replied, tilting his head slightly, motioning for her to come back inside. Mizuki puffed her cheeks, but obliged. She’d choose the coffee-prince over lightning for now. “Get in before anything actually happens to you,”

That last big rumble must’ve knocked out the power, for Sangosho was almost pitch black. In the dark, it was quite eerie, like something out of a horror movie. Maybe her final nights would be here, trapped on a deserted beach with the person she hated the most in the whole entire world.

“Keeps getting better and better, huh?” Saeki said with an annoyed tone, most likely having the same thoughts as her.

Well, at least they were on the same wavelength.

Mizuki shivered and wrapped her arms around herself. She was only out for a short time, yet she was soaked from head to toe. She then felt a nudge to her shoulder in the dark and then something soft against her hand; a towel.

Reluctantly, she took it from Saeki’s hand before he walked passed her. Fine, sometimes he had basic decency, but that was about it. Nothing to get excited about.

“Did you really think you were going to make it home?” he asked while the sound of a cabinet opened in the background.

“I was willing to take the chance. You’re about as pleasant as a typhoon after all,” Mizuki could hear the boy let out a slight scoff, which couldn’t help but make her smile. She wanted to get in at least one jab in.

She then heard a scratching sound, soon followed by the slight sent of smoke. A match. It wasn’t before long that the soft glow of candles lit up the small café enough for her to walk without bumping into anything. Mizuki then slowly pulled off a stool from the counter and sat beside the boy.

Although the flames were small, they were greatly appreciated it. They were a pleasant sensation against her hands and cheeks.

“Thanks,” she finally mumbled and then wrapped the towel around her shoulders. She could see him shrug slightly.

“My grandfather would probably be mad I let something happen. For whatever reason, he seems to have taken a liking to you,”

“He must have good taste then,” Mizuki couldn’t help but beam. How they were related was beyond her. Saeki-san was such a kind-hearted, cheery, giving and caring person. How he put up with Saeki-kun’s negatively was truly a gift.  

“Don’t get cocky,” the boy complained and then flicked her ear. She let out a small yelp.

“Why are you so mean to me?” she complained, puffing her cheeks. “You know, if the girls saw you being such a jerk they would think twice about having a fan club dedicated to you,” Actually, they’d probably still place him on a pedestal, but she wasn’t going to admit that.

“You’re easy to tease. Nearly anything winds you up and you always walk into it,” he responded in a very matter-of-fact tone.

“Well that just makes you a bully then,” she propped her chin up against the palm of her hand and twisted her mouth again as she looked away from the boy.

“So, would you rather I just give you the fake princess treatment like all the other girls?” he scoffed again.

“I’m just saying that it’s impossible for all of your kindness to be a façade,”

Surely, he couldn’t only be nice because it was expected of him. There must’ve been a side to him that wanted to be kind just because.

Mizuki then felt a soft touch against her free arm. His fingertips lightly slid down her elbow to her hand. His fingers quickly locked with hers as he pulled it up towards his face. The reflection of the flames danced in his dark eyes as she looked back at him.

“Ojousama,” he started, his princely tone coming out full swing. “If I did anything to offend you-”

“Ew, stop,” she said, making a disgusted face.

“You told me you wanted me to be nice; I’m trying to be nice,” Saeki said, his voice full of his usual irritation. Even in the darkness, she could tell that his right eyebrow was twitching ever so slightly.

“This isn’t nice! It’s just weird!” how did his fan club find this charming!? She took it back, she didn’t want him to be nice if he was going to be so weird.

Perhaps she shouldn’t have pulled her hand back as hard as she did, for she quickly felt her tilt backwards. Her balance really was terrible tonight, wasn’t it?

“Wah!” Mizuki quickly shut her eyes, expecting the hard impact of the wooden floor against her head.

But instead of feeling immediate pain, she felt her arm yanked again to try and stop her from falling, but instead, the force fell along with her. At least it slowed her down enough that it wasn’t painful. Just a surprise.

When she opened her eyes, she saw leaning only slight over her was Saeki, propping himself up with one arm. The soft glow from the candles partially lit up his features. Mizuki hated to admit it, but she could sort of get why the girls at school fawned over him. His tanned skin, his chiselled features, the way his white strands fell over his face…

It’s a good thing that it was dark enough that her flushed cheeks weren’t apparent. They haven’t been this close since that time they were walking home and-

It was then that the lights flickered on, lighting up the restaurant again.

“You’re a real klutz, you know that?” Saeki muttered as he quickly pushed himself off her and stood up.

“It’s not my fault! You were being super weird,” she protested. Her flushed cheeks finally returned to their regular colour. Right. No matter how cute he was, he was still Saeki Teru.    

She could then hear a buzzing followed by a jingle; Her cellphone. She quickly dug into pocket and scrambled to answer it.

“Hello? Oh Dad!” she quickly said with a sigh of relief. “Yeah, I’m okay. I’m still at the café, the buses are cancelled. I might have to stay the night if the weather doesn’t get better,”

Her brown eyes glanced back over at Saeki who had his back turned away from her as he put the candles away. “Yeah, I’m with Saeki-kun. Mmm? No, his grandfather had some business out of the city. Alone? Yeah. No-wait, Dad, it’s not like that-Dad, calm down,” it was too late. She winced as she could already hear him lecture her at top speed.

“… He’ll be coming to pick me up in a bit. It’s supposed to rain less in a half hour,” she let out a long sigh as she ended the call. It was probably a good idea. Not that she would ever do anything with Saeki! But… still.

“Right. That’s good,” Saeki said a little absent mindedly.

“You don’t have to stick around you know,” she added. “I think you’ve done enough. So uh, you can go upstairs,” His room was somewhere there, wasn’t it?

He let out a long sigh before looking up at the ceiling. Who knew what he was thinking.

“…Get home safe,” he finally said under his breath before quickly walking up the stairs.

Huh.

That might’ve been the first time he’s ever properly expressed concern for her.

Maybe he was nice.

Answer the following questions and then create your own for those you tag!

Most of these under read more cos long!

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Questions:

What is your favorite part of JoJo?

Okay, this is actually hard! I think it’s a tie between part 2 and 3! Plot-wise I think I prefer part 3, but characte-wise (and also art style-wise) I prefer part 2!! Also, part 2 is more adrenaline-rush in general tho. So, um, yeah, a tie between 2 and 3!

Who are your top 5 favorite characters?

HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST CHOOSE FIVE??? I mean, you (and evrybody that follows me should too) know that my love for my two sons is  outsized, lmao. But only 3 more??? Nope. So I’m just gonna do a top 3 of every part >:V Look how I just ignore the question ajksdnfjnfjanja SORRY

Part 1: Zeppeli, Jonathan, Erina Part 2: Caesar, Joseph, Lisa Lisa  Part 3: Joseph, Kakyoin, Avdol Part 4: Rohan, Okuyasu, Jotaro Part 5: Bruno, Abbachio, Mista Part 6: Jolyne, Foo Fighters, Weather Report Part 7: Gyro, Lucy, Diego

Best JoJo?

MY IDIOT SON JOSEPH.

Best Zeppeli?

I think this one is pretty obvious, but MY PRECIOUS SON CAESAR. I didn’t say that he’s the light of my life and that I would protect him of every pain in this world? Cos yes. I love him so much;;;

but every Zeppeli is best Zeppeli 

Best Villain?

Dio/DIO, but an important mention to Kira, who is second in my list!

Favorite ships OR friendships?

AJSDNJFNJAKFJASKNKAJ. OK. First, about ships, please, don’t want me to do a 500 pages PowerPoint about how much I love Cae/Jose. I think you all already know. Jona/Eri is just TOO PURE??? TWO CINNAMON ROLLS??? PRECIOUS CHILDREN??? Bru/Abba?? Basically the parents of Passione?? Lov caring mom and bitter dad. Gy/Jo?? OK. Also, I like Jose/Q, but I prefer them in part 3, cos I think how they ended up together in part 2 was a bit forced...I like them, don’t get me wrong, but I would like a bit more of developtment! I lowkey ship Kak/Pol, Gio/Mis, and Diego/Hot Pants. And Lucy with happiness please and thank??. MiruLisa Lisa is a good ship too...  About friendship, the PB trio!! LOV THEM. Also, Cae/Jose it’s nice when your OTP can be a brOTP too uvu Okuyasu and Josuke are basically the definiton of BROS(tm). Kak’s and Pol’s relationship too! And Avdol’s and Pol's! All the Passione gang too! And the girls of SO! Also, Weather’s and Jolyne’s! And Gy/Jo works as brOTP too!  Also, about relationships I would love to know more about: Lisa Lisa and Caesar??? Don’t worry I have plenty of HC in my head lmao, and Joseph’s and Avdol’s friendship pls??

Love Live! Questions:

Favorite girl from each year group in Muse and Aqours?

Muse: First year: Hanayo; Second year: Umi; Third year: Nozomi

Aqours: First year: Hanamaru; Second year: Chika/Riko ; Third year: Mari  

What do you think your attribute is?

Pure all the way!! But for being an unnecessary nerd, if we talk about percentages I guess I would be something like: 65% Pure, 30% Cool, 5% Smile.

Muse or Aqours?

AakndNAKSDNLANKLANDLA NO I CAN’T CHOOSE BETWEEN DAUGHTERS, YOU MEANIE.

Favorite LLSIF set?

Asdnadkla, IT’S HARD. But if I have to choose maybe I’ll say the Dancer/Arabian set for Muse, and the Wonderland for Aqours!!

Top three songs from Muse and from Aqours?

From Muse: Angelic Angel, Sunny Day Song, Wild Stars tied with Moshimo Kara Kitto. And counting the subunits songs apart, cos yolo: Lily White: Shunjou Romantic,  Omoide Ijou ni Naritakute,  Onaji Hoshi ga Mitai tied with Binetsu Kara Mystery. Bibi: Fuyu ga Kureta Yokan, Psychic Fire, Love Novels Printemps: Unbalanced Love, Love Marginal, No Exit Orion

From Aqours: Thrilling・One Way,  Sky Journey, MY Mai☆TONIGHT tied with Omoi yo Hitotsu ni Nare. Again counting the subunits songs apart, but only two cos they don’t have so many songs yet: Guilty Kiss: Kowareyasuki, Strawberry Trapper Azalea:  Tokimeki Bunruigaku, Innocent Bird CYaRon!: Yozora wa Nandemo Shitteru no?,  Kinmirai Happy End

Which girl’s fashion sense most closely matches your own (or is your favorite in general?)

I think I’d say Riko! Her casual outfits are always so so cute!!

And now, my questions:

What 3 characters of your currently 3 fandoms do you think you’re most alike? Bonus points for reasons.

Is there any merch you would love owning? You can make up anything you want to see as merch too.

What do you think about chemistry? Pls I want to read how much you hate the thing I’m studying lmao.

If you were a meme, which one do you think you will be?

Are You an Early Bird or a Night Owl? Would you like to change that?

If you were stuck in a high school anime, which charas you would want to be with in your class?

Dream travel(s)?

Which song do you have as ringtone in your mobile phone?

If you want to tell me anything random it’s your chance, cos I don’t know what to ask lmao!

Tagging: @mari-m-rose, @miss-mary-grace, @beamthechao, @dreamingamethystdragons, @noneedforbloodpressure and anyone who wants to do this!

Games with on-screen kisses

Should be considered story spoilers (except for maybe dating sims), so browse at your own peril.

Hi Nina! I've been wondering for a while, but you've mentioned a couple of times that there are upwards of 200 magical girl intellectual properties you've consumed and I was wondering what they were. I'm also quite curious as to what your to watch list has on it. If this is too much of a hassle, I completely understand. I mostly wanted to get a sense of where you've been in the genre and where you plan to go. Thank you for your time.

OH BOY!

Okay, full disclaimer, I do count like the series with multiple named seasons/movies as different entries (i.e. all the Precure I count as unique entries, and each season of Sailor Moon, etc. If it has a separate entry on like “myanimelist” i count it as separate). I’ve also sat down and watch RAWs/things in languages I’m not entirely fluent in cause I’m #thirsty

LIST IS UNDER THE CUT:

Unmarked is anime/cartoon, I’ll signify comics/manga

I THINK that’s everything I may be missing some.

I didn’t include if I read the manga AND saw the anime- like with Sailor Moon, Sugar Sugar Rune, etc. I also didn’t include any of the Precure movies because I don’t know I feel like that’s overkill??? I also started reading the Magical Girl Raising Project Light Novels so those would be shoved in there too I guess.

A lot of these series are missing from MyAnimeList list because I intend to re-watch them and it’s a good way to keep track of things I haven’t re-watched recently. (now if only I remembered to update what episodes of things I’m currently watching lmao)

Even with all of this there are still so many series I have to see!! I can’t wait *u*

Edit: I woke up this morning realizing I missed a bunch

Comic Explorer Perspective and Thoughts (First full listen-through since 2016 release)

The bad - “Miracle Worker” and “Next Stage With You” have nice melodies but the synth pads are so fucking awful and depressingly embarrassing. At the end of “Next Stage With You,” there’s a string synth in the background that I literally could create on my $120 Casio Synthesizer. “Miracle Worker” just sounds like it’s straight off of WAVE RUNNER, which is most certainly a bad thing for Perfume standards after the flawless production of JPN and LEVEL3. Also, I have never liked “Flash” or “Star Train” in either CE mix or single mix, so I always skip those two as well. Don’t even get me started on Baby Face.

The good - “Tokimeki Lights (CE Version)” and “Cling Cling (CE Version)” make the album worth coming back to, though. I just can’t get over how lackluster the first half of the album is, though. It’s worse than the first half of JPN!

Just being being snobby -

The concepts of structure and space seriously do not fit with my ideal aesthetic choices for Perfume. Nothing beats Triangle’s fuzzy, heavy sound for me or LEVEL3′s crisp, powerful sound. JPN has aged the best, but Cosmic Explorer is a leap backward to GAME’s production, but without the iconic hooks and memorable concepts. 

[[[WARNING: KIND OF SAPPY]]]

I’ve been with Perfume since they released Dream Fighter EP in 2008 (and the epic video!!!). Triangle and JPN were pivotal albums for me during high school (secondary school), not only musically, but emotionally. LEVEL3 came out my senior (4th) year, and quickly became one of my favorite albums of all time by any artist. I hope Nakata never stops creating music that we can laugh to, cry with, sing with, and in which we can connect with other cultures and peoples across the world. “Dream Fighter” is still my favorite Perfume song of all time (followed by “1mm,” “VOICE,” “Unnatural Girl,” and “LTW”) and I will support to and listen to Perfume until I literally rot dead in my fucking casket. 

Here’s to what’s next for Nakata and our 3 main bitches. (5 if you include Toshiko and Natsume!) #prfm

Otsuka Ai Lyrics: MAGIC

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

I see you over the light of the candle light, I like you The flame flickers from that one sentence If I blinked that’d be the last. I touch your hand and my heart races I hide it and hide it-- just listen to me

□○☆※☆! Your V-O-I-C-E calling me is the secret password LOVE!

A red apple, rolling down a downward slope And that’s not all: trees that cry Give ‘em a lick and that’d be the last My heart’s fluttering in a sweet yet heart-wrenching way Hand it over, hand it over, look for it

□○☆※☆! Our V-O-I-C-E-S combine and mix together upside-down A secret password that flies faster than light

LOVE

How to Date a Boy 101 (Part 2)

Also on Ao3

2823 words

Rating: G

Series: Tokimeki Memorial: Girls Side 2nd Kiss

Pairing: Daisy (OC) x Saeki Teru

Part 1: Here

It's date-time at the aquarium! Will Mizuki finally get that fairytale confession she wants? Will she and Saeki live happily ever after? The only way to find out is by following all the tips in the Habataki Watcher!

Mizuki opened her bag and took out her compact mirror. She carefully brushed her curls to one side, then the next, then just shook her head with a huff.

She shouldn’t be nervous... After all, Saeki and she have hung out dozen times before. It should be second nature by this point. There’s nothing weird about them going to the aquarium together.

So why was she nervous?

Deep breaths, Mizuki. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She just had to remember everything she and Chiyomi went over the night before and she’d be fine. Sure, her bespectacled friend was about as knowledgeable about dating as Mizuki was, but this time, they had proper reference material. If the Habataki Watcher really was anything to go by, Saeki not only would she get her feelings through to Saeki, but he should be professing her love to her in the most grandiose fashion possible.

“Sorry, did I keep you waiting?” she then heard from behind. Speak of the devil.

“No, I just got here myself actually,” Mizuki responded in a chipper manner. Honestly, him being a little late at least meant that she could take more time to prepare herself.

“Hmm, maybe I should have taken more time then. Really made you wait,” a playful smirk appeared on Saeki’s face.

“Hey!” She puffed her cheeks in irritation, which only made the white-haired boy grin more it seemed.

“By the way, those clothes…”

Mizuki eyes brightened. Already, the Habataki Watcher’s magic was being put to work.

Tip #1: Always be on point and up on the latest trends. And if you can, wear his favorite colour! He’ll no doubt take notice.

And that she did. Blue from head to toe! She only had a blue shirt in her closet, but then she borrowed a skirt from Chiyomi, and then a sweater from Todo… and a coat from her mother…

They were all totally in style though! Different styles mind you but in style all the same.

She turned her head and flicked her wavy brown hair before placing her hand on her hips. “Yes?”

“… Was it laundry day or did you get dressed in the dark?”

“E-excuse me!?” His words rammed her right in her stomach like a truck.

“What exactly were you going for? A blue sasquatch?” he crossed his arms, furrowing his brows.

“Well, you’re-”

Tip #2: Being nice and considerate is the way to a boy’s heart. Making a scene over something small could make it seem as though you’re too much to handle!

“…So funny, Saeki-kun,” she said through gritted teeth before forcing a laugh. “You’re right, it was totally laundry day! What’s a girl to do on such short notice? You know me, can’t keep myself organized!”

“We planned this two weeks ago and I know you’re obsessed with keeping everything in your planner,”

“I… ah…” she let out a frustrated sigh. “Can we just go inside?”

Tip #3 Show him that you’re interested in what he likes! It shows that you’re adventurous and engaged.

Okay, so the outfit was a bit of a bust. She should have coordinated better rather than just go straight for his favorite colour. But that didn’t mean that day was ruined yet! They were at the aquarium after all, one of Saeki’s favorite places. The perfect way to get this date back on track. That’s right Mizuki, the outfit was just a minor setback. She would still have Saeki-kun pouring out his feelings to her by the end of today, groveling at her feet.

“Did you know that ghost sharks have teeth in their stomachs?” she said as they strolled around the shark area. The aquarium had just received a whale shark, which

“Ghost sharks? I’m pretty sure they just have rows of teeth in their mouth?”

“Oh right!” she said, snapping her fingers. “Right ghost crabs are the ones them in their stomach to ward off enemies. Ghost sharks are the ones that have a retractable organ on their forehead!”

“What kind?”

“Oh yeah, which organ…” Chiyomi and her were looking at one of her ocean encyclopedias but before Mizuki could read the entry on the ghost shark, the purple-haired girl shut it quickly.

“That would be the reproductive organ, for male ghost sharks.” A chipper staff member said behind them.

A male reproductive organ? Wait a second, that’s-

“Oh.”

Mizuki just realized why Chiyomi didn’t want her reading that part. Her brown eyes then slowly glanced over at Saeki.

He was there covering his face.

The atmosphere in the shark section suddenly became heavy.

Tip #4: Let him take the lead and help you. Guys love to be able to look after people they care about.

Wait, didn’t they say that they love a girl who’s adventurous? How could she be both? Ugh, this was starting to get a little tiring. But if this was what she had to do. Also, her feet were sore. Why did she decide to wear heels again?

Oh, right because they were blue.

“Oi, Mizuki,” Saeki called, looking over his shoulder. “You okay?”

She smiled, though wincing slightly. “Yeah, I just need a bit of a break.”

“Well, there are some seats there where we can touch some of the crustaceans,” he motioned at a small water table in the center of the room. There were several children with their parents, as well as a few couples.

“Sure, that seems fine.”

The two of them took a seat. Mizuki wasn’t much for touching sea creatures, but she knew that Saeki loved them. So much to the point where he managed to drag out an octopus out of the ocean on their last hang out at the beach. Yeah, the octopus was certainly not her favorite memory, but seeing Saeki’s smile was the highlight of that day.

Right… Saeki’s smile. That was what she was looking for. Besides, these creatures were all docile and didn’t squirm, right? She’d be fine.

“Now, remember everyone! We don’t lift the creatures out of the water. You can hold the sea cucumber completely in our hands, but we don’t touch the bottom of the starfish, okay?” a staff worker explained to everyone. Well, perhaps not everyone, so much as one child whose parent was attempting to pry their fingers off a starfish.

Man, why was every elementary student that wasn’t Yuu a total nightmare? It’s not that she hated kids, but some of them were just too much. She tsked to herself and reached into the water..

But before she could, she suddenly felt something wet and slimy whip onto her face. She then froze, her eyes then looking back over to the child who had been thrashing around earlier.

And now his hand was empty. And the starfish was nowhere to be seen.

If there was ever a record for shrieking the loudest, Mizuki may have just beaten it.

Tip #5: Skinship is a must! Playfully nudging him or caressing his arm or cheek will make any guy know that you’re interested in him.

“I gotta say, I don’t think I would have ever expected to see you try and fight an 8-year-old kid,”

“I was not trying to fight him. I just wanted to give him a stern talking to about being respectful to animals,” Mizuki corrected him.

But yeah, had the parents or the staff not been around, she would have totally throttled that little kid. Maybe it wasn’t the best of light that Saeki could have seen her in, but she felt justified! Ugh, how much more did she have to endure? There was no way this was chipping away at his sarcastic exterior. How the heck was she supposed to get a confession out of him?

“Do you wanna grab anything from the gift shop?” Saeki asked her, pointing his head towards it.

“Oh yeah!” The perfect way to end a date, right? Though she wasn’t quite sure if she wanted a memento for this one. Nonetheless, if he was offering, she couldn’t refuse.

As they entered the gift shop, they came across a stand that had ornate shell-and-pearl phone straps.

“Oh, these are so cute! They even have different colours,” she said, looking them over with excitement.

“Mm, yeah they’re pretty nice.”

Saeki had leaned in over her shoulder, his face not that much further from hers. Mizuki could feel her face warm. Right. Now was a better time than any for some casual skinship!

Just as she was about to lightly poke Saeki on his sun-kissed cheek, he turned his head to face hers, which, unfortunately, resulted in her finger slipping from his cheek and getting him straight in his left eye.

It wasn’t hard to figure out what happened next.

“Saeki!” she cupped her hands over her mouth as the prince attempted to stand up, but instead stumbled backward over a sign, though thankfully not ramming his head on anything.

“A-are you okay?” Mizuki asked, finally offering her hand to help him up. “I’m SO sorry-”

“I’m fine!” he said, clearly annoyed and embarrassed as he quickly stood back up, brushing off his pants. Seems that his ego hurt more than this eye, which was maybe for the best. “I don’t know what is up with you today, but I don’t want you causing any more damage,”

Mizuki could feel her throat tighten and her heart sink into her gut.

Oh no.

This was not how things were supposed to go today.

“I-I’ll… wait for you by the s-station…”

And there you have it! Everything that you need to get the most romantic confession out of your crush!

The ride home on the train was quiet. She couldn’t even bring herself to look or converse with Saeki. She really blew it. Absolutely nothing went the way that she wanted and now the boy that she liked was never going to want to talk to her again. She could feel it. She’d just become another girl that he attempted to avoid in the hallways at school. He’d probably barely tolerate her at work. Maybe she should start looking for a new job…

She was such an idiot. Not only did she lose the chance to confess to Saeki, but it felt like she was just about to lose a friend. Whatever they had at the fireworks festival felt like it had been completely obliterated.

Her eyes started to sting as they welled up, but before any tears could fall, Mizuki felt something warm on top of her left hand.

“It’s our stop,” Saeki said with a slight sigh, squeezing her hand as he stood up. “Come on, let me walk you home,”

Mizuki’s head darted up, slightly confused. “Walk me home?”

“Yeah, walk you home.” He repeated, looking irritated, though with an ever so slight shade of pink on his cheeks. “You’ve been acting weird all day, who knows what’ll happen if you end up going home by yourself. Probably get attacked by a boar or something,”

Ah, of course. Her behaviour today was enough to worry any person about her wellbeing, but maybe it was better than anger. She slowly stood up and follow him off the train.

The sun was beginning to set as they exited the station, colouring the sky a beautiful orange, pink and violet. There was also a slight breeze in the air that whistled through the multi-coloured leaves signifying autumn. A picturesque view on what was probably the most humiliating day of Mizuki’s life.

Yet, Saeki was still here with her. Holding her hand. His were so much larger than hers, strong, yet tender. It was comforting but confusing. This of course, wasn’t the first time they had held hands. She had once complained that he walked too fast and in response, he held her hand so that she wouldn't fall behind. So, it just became a thing that they did. Still, today she would have figured that today would have been the day to end all that.

She bit her lip and couldn’t help but squeeze it slightly, trying to work up the courage to break the silence.

“I’m sor-”

“Sorry I got mad earlier,” Saeki spoke up, startling Mizuki. “And made fun of your clothes. That… wasn’t great of me. Probably didn’t exactly set the tone for today, eh?”

That… wasn’t what she was expecting. “It’s fine. I mean, it wasn’t exactly well picked out. I just kind of got stuck on the colour,”

“Why’s that?”

Ba-bump.

“Because… blue is your favorite colour.”

“Ah,” Saeki responded. For a moment, Mizuki felt his grip loosen on hers, but then tighten again. “How’d did you figure that out?”

“Well, I mean, your favorite thing in the world is the sea,” she continued. Mind as well be semi-honest. “And even your first name kind of rhymes with the colour. If you say it in English anyway. Blue… Teru. Plus, I noticed things like your tie from work and your glasses case were also blue,”

Mizuki heard him scoff lightly, but not in a way that seemed annoyed.

“Kind of stupid right?” she said.

“No. I don’t think it’s stupid. Also, I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard you say my first name,”

“Does it sound weird?”

“No- it’s just-,” Saeki stammered, looking up at the sky as he rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand. “It’s fine.”

That… wasn’t a bad reaction.

“Can keep calling you Teru?”

Saeki shrugged. His signification of a yes. Mizuki smiled, and with that, she slowly went from holding his hand to interlocking her fingers with his.

“Mizuki,” he finally spoke up again.

“Mmm?”

“… I just want to confirm something.” Despite talking to her, he seemed to be looking anywhere that wasn’t directed at her.

“You wore the colour blue today because I like blue, right?”

“Yeah.”

“…And you invited me to the aquarium because you know that I like going there.”

“I mean, I like going to the aquarium too. But I know it’s also one of your favorite spots, so… yes.”

Her brown eyes carefully glanced up observed the young prince’s face, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He didn’t seem angry, but he didn’t seem happy either. Just pensive. He hadn’t looked at her since they left the train either.

“Everything alright?” she finally asked.

“Ah- yeah. Everything’s fine. Thinking is all.” he replied, finally snapping out of his thoughts. “Oh, we’re here,”

The two stopped in front of the gate of her home. They both let go and finally looked at each other properly, though clearly unsure of how to proceed next.

“We should go to the planetarium next time,” he suddenly said.

“Since when do you like going to the planetarium?”

“Since always,” he replied, irritated. “Besides, if you act like a total spaz, then at least it’ll be dark enough for no one else to see,”

Mizuki puffed her cheeks. “Okay, I get it! I’m not going to live today down, am I?”

“What I’m trying to say is that… I know you like it, and I like… that… you thought of me today. In your own weird, overthinking way,” He cleared his throat.

She could feel her cheeks flush again, but hopefully, the sun had set enough that he couldn’t’ see it. Disaster averted it seemed.

“By the way, here,” he took a small bang from his coat pocket and placed it in her hands. “I got it while you were waiting outside.”

She opened the bag carefully and inside was the phone strap with shells and a green pearl. “Oh!”

Ah… it really was so cute! She then wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed tightly. It really was cute, and she was totally going to put it on when she got inside.

“Thank you, Teru,”

“Ah- well you know…” she could feel his muscles stiffen. “So, uh, next Sunday? Planetarium?”

She finally let him go and nodded, her eyes beaming. “Sure thing! Let’s meet at the station,”

The prince let out a sigh of relief and relaxed again. “Sounds good. I’ll see you then.”

Mizuki waved as he turned around and started to leave. Okay, so the date was a bust and she never got her confession. But it was the first time he had ever invited her out. And the first time that she used his first name.

She let out a long sigh, scratching her head as she thought about everything that transpired today. It was a lot to think about, but at least understood one thing that came out of it.

“I really like you, don’t I?” she said to herself quietly as she looked back down at her phone strap.

“And I’ll let you know someday, I promise.”

Bonus Tip: Remember that only do what comes naturally to you. Everything else will fall in place eventually, for better or for worst.
