I think, a year months later, Aoi’s redo is done! The only thing remaining is to tidy up her new relationships page a bit, which involves adding links, actually rewriting the relationships there, and add in a few missing icons, but for the most part, things should be complete! <3
Of big notes to this rehaul:
-I’ve removed a few verses (Rose Of Fate, Wings Made To Fly...) and condensed others for a smaller verse list. My main partners for some have left, be it the fandom or tumblr as a whole, and thus aren’t available to continue things, while in other cases I simply had way more verses than I actually needed and could easily combine them into others (i.e. 1 post canon verse for GX rather than three).
-Shipping is closed. That’s not to say it can’t be reopened in the future, but as it’s not a priority to me or Aoi and ships take a great deal of plotting and building up before they happen with her, shipping is and will stay closed until one possibly builds up there again. Ships I already have/those remaining are unaffected by this rule change.
-Everything has been rewritten. This includes rules, so please give things a looking over! <3
-Aoi isn’t an idiot and I will stress this from this point forward. I don’t care if your muse’s first impression is that she’s stupid. I don’t care if your first impression is the same; that’s reasonable! But if we’re not talking/plotting ooc and you’re not giving me or Aoi a chance to show you otherwise, and/or treating Aoi poorly on the basis she’s ‘just stupid’, I can and will drop threads. A big part of the reason I lost interest in writing her was people deciding on two replies that she’s nothing but an idiot and treating her like trash, and insisting to me she was ‘nothing but a moron’, all while ignoring any attempts to explain why or trying to not be. Her friends and even I affectionately call her stupid, but Aoi has reasons for how she acts. Allow time to get to know my muse past a first impression.
-Aoi now has a The World Ends With You verse, but this is by request only.
I’m pretty sure that should be everything at this point, though I’m probably missing something. XD Replies to kept threads will be coming in the next few days, but please keep in mind Aoi will remain on slow activity for the foreseeable future, too! As much as I love her and want to get back into things here, I still run multiple blogs and deal with a lot offline; it’s going to be a long time before she’s super active again, but this is a start! <3 And of course, if anyone has questions or needs clarification my ask box is always open!
Here’s to a new beginning <3
~Pom
#Out Of Charm [OOC]#Updating Pom.EXE [Blog Update]#I know Aoi is a lot like Jaden and Yuya in terms of being silly and preferring smiles over all else#But for the longest time all I got were people who would treat her badly and remind ME on regular occasions#How 'stupid' she is and making snap judgements while refusing to see her as anything but#And it took a major toll on me and my muse among other reasons#I'm not going to let this happen again when there's so much more to Aoi than just 'the silly one'#All i ask is for a chance to get to know her and some time for that <3 That's all~#But aside from that new boundary I should be running in imited capacity as of the morning!#Got other blogs to catch up on first - Aoi's been taking a lot of time XD

Hey! I've been in love with this blog for a while, so I decided to request! Can I ask for Fuyuhiko, Hiyoko, and Asahina with an innocent looking S/O but is extremely vulgar and swears a lot? ♡
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, Hiyoko Saionji, and Aoi Asahina with a sweet looking S/O who is actually vulgar
This prompt with these characters is a cultural reset
Bruh it delete my mf writing because I decided to shrink the mfing tab bye kms here’s the rewrite
-Mod Souda
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu
The first time he saw you, you handed a person in his class a bouquet of flowers.
It was not Valentines Day, nor anybody's birthday.
There was a smile on your face, and you clapped when they said thank you.
Pathetic, he thought. A smile like that will give you nothing in this world.
Then, the condensation on Peko’s frappe stained the desk it’s rested on.
He waited for her to notice. Instead, she was giving you her thanks. In your hands was a matching cup. He couldn’t tell what was inside of it. But something warm, he assumed.
When you left the classroom, he decided to question it.
“What’s that for?”
“I’m not too sure.”
Peko lifted it up, droplets of water falling off.
Chisa came to wipe it away with a towel. “I assume they are a philanthropist. I’m not sure who that is, either.”
In response, he propped his legs up on the table and pursed his lips.
At least he knew you were a student here. He’s seen you in the hall, taking off your outside shoes in the morning.
It sparked a form of anger within him. What’s your reason for doing all of this? Do you want something in return? Is it really possible that you are the good person that you make yourself out to be? There had to be a catch.
He even kept his eye on you during lunch. You had a nice packaged meal and a game system. On the back was a sticker of a galaga ship. He recognized that.
“Hey, techie,” he leaned down to Chiaki. She only looked up when he pointed over to you. “Do you know them?”
Her eyes shifted to him before falling back to her game. “Yep.”
Very helpful. As usual.
He gave up. But only for a second. His shoulders squared as he stood up straight. This might be awfully rude of him.
The thought still didn’t stop him from storming over to you, pushing your head back by the forehead with his finger.
“What’s your deal?”
You swatted his hand away. The sound of the game over screen played behind the sudden tension.
“My deal?”
“The whole… giving random shit to strangers thing.”
A smile formed on your lips. “Are you jealous?”
“What?” He stuttered. “Jealous? I’m not jealous.”
“With that stupid fucking look on your face, I’d say you are.” You sat tall in your seat. “But to answer your question, I just like to make friends. They aren’t strangers, they are people that I like. Someone as hated and unloved as you wouldn’t be able to understand that.”
Now, you knock on his door, shifting the weight on each of your legs, unable to stand still. A Valentines Day card sits perfectly in the bento, even if you had to cut it in half in order for it to fit. Last year, you both only shared a drink in a park.
He opens the door, and you shove the flowers into his face.
You smile. “Ahehe, I got you something.”
Hiyoko Saionji
You helped her tie her kimono every day.
It was an easy way to help her, something you liked doing.
Feeling her hair, soft and puffy, after she puts it in her pigtails. There’s no better texture.
But people don’t know that you two are dating whenever you are out in public. It’s often amusing. You don’t sit together in class, too. And if you are shopping, or backstage at one of her performances, people don’t assume you came together.
There are situations that happen, sometimes often. Maybe it’s one of those times you help her prepare for a dance. Or a competition, where there are other girls around.
They will whisper to each other, smiling and rolling their eyes.
Pointing and laughing, basically.
They will see you and not pay any mind about it.
Your sweet eyes and kind lips don’t intimidate them.
But it should.
Because you don’t hesitate to slam their heads against the vanities they sit at - or yell curses at them and smear their makeup on the mirror.
You don’t take nicely to their unnecessary harassment.
And again, people don’t assume you are with her, so you never get both of you kicked out of venues.
You… might get kicked out of them a lot. Allegedly.
But it makes her smile every time. She gets a low cackle and an evil look in her eye.
That’s her baby right there.
Aoi Asahina
You are more competitive than she is, definitely.
Yelling curses at her teammates and laughing at them when they aren’t perfect.
But other than that, you are very happy when around her. Only the presence of other people can make you snappy. If a boy tries to correct her on something, or comment on something weird she’d said, you are quick to insult their intelligence as well.
Reading is fundamental.
Especially when you like using your fists as well.
Or, again, the dirty jokes you often let out. It makes her blush in embarrassment.
You like embarrassing her. It’s fun to watch her face, and even the face of anticipation when she knows you’re going to say something.
It makes some of your classmates laugh. And with that, you yell at them. How rude of them to laugh at her !!!
Her lips curl into a smile when she sees the way you defend her.
But definitely, when she first met you, it was a big shock.
She walked up to you, since you were kind-looking, just like her. She wanted to share a donut with you. It was the first day of school, and winter was almost about to begin. You had a scarf around your neck, which you held on to when you told her to fuck off.
Time changed that attitude of yours when you saw how genuine she is. And soon, you loved eating donuts with her.

May the tides forever be in your favor.
Hello, this is an AU by @basically-i-write-shit. It is about Yamaguchi and his mother moving in with Ren, that is the father of certain cat named Kuroo Tetsurō and his older brother Kuroo Eiichi. Check out his blog and his writing. It’s a great! (this fic is about a year or two into their new living arraignment)
Ren and Tadashi have a distant relationship despite how well his new girlfriend gets along with his own, two boys. He really wants to bond with Tadashi, but doesn’t know how. this night, it’s the first time he is aloe with Tadashi.
Words: 2915
Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes. This is my second language and I am still struggling to catch all the misspelling.
He was alone.
For the first time since Aoi and Tadashi moved in, he was alone with the little boy. His partner was out of town, visiting an old aunt and wouldn't return until tomorrow afternoon. He remembered how Tadashi had begged to come with her, but couldn't. Since bringing a fourth grader to her sick, old aunt would be too much of a hassle for the old woman. It was sad.
His own two boys were out too, Tetsurō stayed at Kenma for the night and Eiichi stayed at a group sleep over with his classmates. In hindsight, He thought it was best that his two rowdy boys were out while he was alone with Tadashi. They had a tendency to be too much for the little nine year old and Tadashi would often run to protection. And that protection was his mother's hug and a handful of kind and encouraging words.
Ren wasn’t upset with Tadashi. Not after what his girlfriend told him about how his birth father treated the little boy. Being harassed and abused by strong boys had made Tadashi wary of boys in general, especially adults and older children. Ren didn’t judge Tadashi for being drawn back when there were other males in the room.
It was understandable that it would take time for him to warm up his new family.
Now, at the dinner table, Ren could really feel the tension.
Tadashi sat quietly by the table. If Aoi was here, he would chatter happily with his mother as she asked him about his day, alternating between japanese and spanish as they talked and communicated between them. They really had a warm bond.
Tadashi was a well behaved kid, timid and shy, but polite nonetheless. He had thanked for his food when Ren had sat his bowl of shoyu ramen down and began to eat quietly.
He had yet to mutter a word to his step dad.
Ren breathed deeply, to calm himself, and briefly wondered how he got so bent over a nine year old not wanting to talk to him. This was Aoi’s only child, and if their relationship didn't develop for the better, maybe Ren and Aoi wouldn’t work out like he thought they would.
Ren cleared his throat. “So, Tadashi-kun, what did you do in school today?.” Ren started and caught Tadashi's attention. The boy looked hesitant and glanced over at the seat beside him. The seat Aoi used to sit at. “Learn anything new?”
Tadashi looked down at his plate, chopstick trembling slightly in his hand. “We learned a little about multiplication today.”
“Ah, was it hard?” Ren asked, and though he really should stop being so nervous around the boy. Dammit, he had two of his own. He could do this.
“A little.”
And that was that. That was the only conversation he managed to muster up when his new step son was alone with him. No wonder Tadashi barely spoke to him.
Ren almost slammed his head into the table. He would have, but Ren chances of Tadashi opening himself up more to him would have decreased by a ten fold.
Later, when Yamaguchi had escaped to his room, Ren sat on the couch and read the news paper. Even with Tadashi in the house, it was quiet. His boys were never this quiet. They were usually jumping on the walls, calling each other as they played on their PSP’s and such. It was constant noice from the two of them, unless they were asleep.
He made his way, quietly, up the stairs and knocked on Tadashi bedroom door and waited for a soft “Come in” before he entered.
Tadashi was lying on his stomach on the floor. Pencils and papers were scattered around him and the freckled boy seemed occupied with his drawings. Tadashi turned back to his work, albeit he looked a little more tense than he should have looked. There were a few that looked like pokemons, and yes, he remembered most of them. Both his boys had their pokemon phase when they were younger. He had endured much of Ash and his friends adventures through the years. There were some drawings of skyscrapers, that Ren suspected was because Tadashi recently had moved to Tokyo, and had seen a lot more of those big buildings.
He still remembered Tadashi astonished face as he saw a skyscraper for the first time when they went out of the suburbs and into the city.
The drawing he worked on now was clearly a stick figure of him and what he suspected was his mother. They were holding hands and had big smiles on their faces. Tadashi had drawn their freckles with three spots on each cheek for the both of them. In the background was a pale yellow house. It was their hose. Ren didn't know why he got so happy by seeing Tadashi choosing their house, instead of the apartment building he had back in Miyagi. He had also filled the paper with drawings of flowers, one that were taller than Aoi. It was clearly a work by a devoted nine year old.
“That looks nice.” Ren hummed as he crouched down to Tadashi’s level.
“Thanks, it’s for Oka-san.” Tadashi chipped soundly as he switched his blue pencil for a green one.
Ren decided to lay beside of him, on his stomach. He watched him work for a few seconds.
“Do you make her drawings often?”
Tadashi looked at him. Big brown eyes were gazing over his hazel ones. “I always make drawings for Oka-san when she is traveling without me.” He turned quickly back to his paper. He was working on the sun in the corner. It had sunglasses. Ren felt himself smile. His boys also used to draw the sun with sunglasses, it didn't make sense, but it i was a nice touch. “It makes her happy when I draw to her.”
Ren nodded. He already knew Tadashi was an empathic child. When Eiichi had fallen ill with a light cold, Tadashi, despite being shy in front of all of them, had given the older boy one of his dangos. There were no surprise in why Tadashi choose to make a gifts for his mom when she was out of town for the night.
“Hey, Tadashi-kun, can I draw with you?”
Tadashi looked at him. He didn't know if he was surprised or not, he had yet to learn how to read the brown eyed boy’s expressions. When Tadashi got up to give him a white piece of paper and kindly set his pencils between the two of them, Ren knew he got a ‘yes’ from the other.
Ren had never been an artist, which was the reason he also made stick figures and had the sun in the far corner. And sides, his skill couldn't even match the work of Tadashi's.
Ren made the whole family. He drew himself and Aoi holding hands and made Tetsurō, Eiichi and Tadashi hold hands. He hoped the little gesture made his step son happy.
“It that us?” Tadashi asked and glanced over to the side.
“Yes, yes it is.” Rin said, feeling his cheek getting rosy. “Do you like it?”
Tadashi smiled. “Yes, I do.” He sat up and looked over his own drawing. “Oka-san will be happy we drew for her.” He said and Ren nodded back.
They cleaned up the pencil and papers, and Rin helped Tadashi put his new drawings in a folder he had by his small desk.
“Hey, Tadashi, you like pokemon, right?”
The mention of pokemon had his full attention. He had stars in his eyes. Tadashi obviously caught himself off guard, because he quickly looked away and started playing with the hem of his shirt, ears getting pink.
“You see, Tetsu-chan and Eii-chan really likes pokemon too. We have some of the old movies, too.”
“You do?” Tadashi asked, eagerly. He let go of his shirt and Ren could feel the excitement radiating from him. He laughed fondly at the boy.
“Yes, we do.” Ren opened the door out to the halway. “If you want to, we can watch one. We can eat some snacks and sit on the couch.”
“Yes, let’s do that.” He shrieked in joy. It was the first time Ren had heard Tadashi raise his voice. Even when Tadashi was crying, he had done that so quietly. Ren was surprised when Tadashi grabbed his pants and started to tug him out of his room and into the living room.
“Say, you set the couch ready and I get the snacks. The movies are beside the dvd player. Choose the one you want to see.” Tadashi lets go of him and carried on with the important task of finding a movie while Ren made his way to the kitchen.
He first thought of making a bowl with some candy they had around, but remembered that Aoi had told him that Tadashi prefered other snacks instead of sweets.
He doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, but he does love chips, preferably made with paprika flavour.
He smiled as he fished out a bag of flavoured chips. He also took out some chocolate milk for the both of them.
Tadashi had picked out the first pokemon movie and had already seated himself on the sofa. He had pulled his blanket over him and was eagerly waiting with the remote in his hand.
He put the bowls on the table and pulled it closer to the couch so it would be easier to reach for Tadashi and sat down beside the boy. He did give them some space, no point in making Tadashi uncomfortable.
Tadashi was glued to the movie. He laughed at the funny parts and snorted at the ridiculous ones. Ren could see how he held his breath before an action scene. To be such a timid child, Tadashi was fairly expressive.
Nearing the end, Tadashi clung to his arms and presses his face into his sweater.
“I don’t like the scene when Ash turns into stone.” Tadashi says, voice wavering. He still looked at the tv screen. Ren was reminded that Aoi said something about Tadashi getting sympetich with the characters.
This was his chance. The way he handled this situation would determinate how their relationship would grow.
Ren slowly raised the hand Tadashi was clutching. The boy tensed without his safety net, but didn't look at him. Ren then slowly reached for Tadashi's shoulders and tucked him close to himself.
With Tadashi half hugged to his side, Ren felt giddy as the boy didn't try to get away from him. He blamed half of it on the pokemon movie that Tadashi was engulfed in. But he stayed and he reached again for Ren arm and his small hands clutched Ren’s sweater.
It felt kind of like when Testurō and Eiichi were here watching with him, but entirely different at the same time. Ren had been so worried about asking Aoi to move in with him and his children. He had been worried they wouldn’t like the big city and move back. Ren was sure he would travel to the worlds end for Aoi. He loved her, and getting along with her son was important for the both of them. Having Tadashi sitting by his side, made Ren sure that their relationship would work out just fine. He would die for his of children, and he would die for Tadashi.
Tadashi had a smile on his face again when Ash was saved by all the pokemons and came back into life. It was late for him, twenty minutes past his normal bed time. Aoi maybe scold him if she ever found out.
“Hey, want to watch another one?” Ren asked. Tadashi looked up at him and beamed.
45 minted after they started the second movie, Tadashi had long since dozed off against Ren’s side. The chips bowls had somehow made it into the couch and Ren was sure he needed to vacuum it in the morning. There were crumbs everywhere.
He set them aside, slowly, and tried not to jostle the nine year old too much. Slowly and carefully, he picked him up and carried him to his bedroom. He was careful when he tucked him in bed, not wanting to wake him up. When he messed up this action with his two older boys, they would always wake up and it would always time to fall back asleep.
Tadashi didn't wake, but he did roll over to hug his pillow on the side. His head wasn’t even on the pillow. Ren watched as Tadashi made some incoherent sounds in his sleep before he truly seemed to settle. This kid was truly a treat.
Ren tucked him in and went to turn off the lights, not before he pecked the boy on the head and ruffled his hair- like he did with his own two children. Tadashi would never know that he kissed him goodnight, and Ren was content with keeping this moment only to himself.
He glanced at the small boy once before he shut the door quietly.
Out in the hallway, Ren almost squealed in joy. He didn't. He didn't want to wake the sleeping boy, but he felt unbelievably happy when cleaned up after their little movie night.
The next day, Tadashi was still a little wary. Tetsurō and Eiichi had come home from their friends, and between filling in their dad on what they did on their sleepover and and bothering their shy little brother, the home was quiet.
“Tadaima.” Came the chipper voice of Aoi. Ren watched as Tadashi ran through the kitchen to get to his mother with his two elder brothers in heel.
“Okaeri.” Ren said and helped his girlfriend with the bags she carried.
“Is that gifts for us.” Tetsurō asked, and tried to peek into the bag.
“Tetsu-chan, don’t be noosy.” Ren chided them. He supposed their rowdy personality came from him, but it was still a little embarrassing. Especially since Tadashi was the opposite.
“Sorry, Otou-san, I just wanted to see my gift.” That was Eiichi and Ren reddeen with emmabressent,
“Boys, I am sorry, I don't have any gifts,” Aoi started. Tadashi was holding her hand and the five of them walked into the kitchen. “It’s just a cake and a few cookies I got from my family. I thought we could have them after dinner.”
Both boys shouted out a ‘yes’ and suddenly the bags weren't that interesting.
“Oka-san, wait here.” Tadashi started and held out his hands in a stop sign. He was oddly serious for his age. “I have something for you.”
Socked feet running was heard as Tadashi made his way towards his room. He came back moments later, carrying the two drawings they made together.
“Oka-san, I made a drawings for you.” Tadashi gave it to her, and then started tugging as his shirt as he waited for Aoi to inspect his art.
“Dashi, it is beautiful.” Aoi crouched down and gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek as she nuzzled him closer. “I love, it. You even drew us in Tokyo.”
“Ren-san drew too.”
He felt startled. Aoi raised and amused eyebrow at him. Ren chuckled helplessly as he showed the drawing he made of all of them.
“Oh my, thank you.” Aoi said as she raised to her feet. She ruffled her son hair before she met his eyes. “Thank you. I love it.” She kissed him lightly on the lips before she made her way towards the fridge and hung both if her gifts up on the fridge. Oh so it was fridge worthy. What an honour.
“Yeah, me an Tadashi-kun made them together.”
Her whole face lit up. She knew he had been stressed over their relationship, especially since it seems that Tetsurō and Eiichi warmed up to her only after a few days of them living together.
“Did you guys really do that!” She smiled back at him, and Ren loved that smile of her.
Ren scratched the back of his neck and nodded. He smiled, remembering their night. “Yes, and we even watched pokemon.” He helped her pull up the items from the bag and place them where they belonged. “He even held my arm in the end when he got scared. Aoi-chan, Tadashi hugged me, willingly.”
Even Aoi looked surprised. “Wow, he really did that.”
Ren nodded so hard he might start to feel dizzy. He beamed back at Aoi. “Yes! I had to carry him to bed after he fell asleep.”
Aoi’s shoulder seemed to relax. She had reassured him many times since they moved in that Tadashi just needed to get used to his presence and him as a person. He had never known a guy that didn't want to hurt him, except for that Tsukishima-boy Tadashi chatted on and on about. But even Aoi had been worried about Tadashi’s wariness for his step dad. She still didn't want to force anything on him, that would only make the situation worse.
“I told you he would warm up to you.” Aoi said, and they both looked up the staircase as they heard Tetsurō and Eiichi inviting themselves into Tadashi's room.
“Yeah,” Ren sighed as he heard Eiichi’s loud announcement that the three of them would play Mario Kart. Leaving no room to say no. “We are going to make this work.”
He smiled as he heard his two boisterous boys dragging his timid one to their room to play their games.
They were going to make this work.

FEATURE: The Hook: "Eromanga-sensei," "RoomMate," and "Kenka Banchou Otome -Girl Beats Boys-"
Welcome back to another week of rapid-fire anime samples with The Hook! We're diving right into the spring season, which means we're finally seeing a lot of the series we've been anticipating all winter. This week, we've got one full-length light novel adaptation, plus two shorter series for those of you needing a quick dose of bishonen in your queue.
Eromanga-sensei
From the team that brought you Oreimo comes a story of brotherly love and light novels. Masamune Izumi is a high school student who has made a name for himself working as a light novel writer, collaborating with the mysterious Eromanga-sensei -- an amazing artist who has a special talent for drawing lewd content. Now, living alone with his shut-in sister Sagiri, he's redoubling his efforts to make money as a writer... and his collaboration takes on a whole different tone when he discovers that Sagiri and Eromanga-sensei are the same person.
The Hook: Considering the title character's true identity was a major part of the marketing, the "reveal" that the adorable young Sagiri is Masamune's collaborator isn't really that big a deal. What does catch you is what happens to their relationship immediately after. Sure, there are the expected light novel-style jokes, but there's a distinct echo of tragedy about their family that we may see expanded upon as they go. Yes, the whole thing is a very meta stereotypical light novel-ish storyline, but the siblings discovering what makes them similar is far more heartwarming than silly.
Also, Sagiri seems to have even more of a life that we don't know about.
Who is it for: Let's be real. If you're tired of light novel adaptations, Eromanga-sensei is not going to be the thing that changes your mind -- because it's very self-aware and uses that. But fans of Oreimo and other such series will get a real kick out of it. And if you're a writer or artist, especially someone trying to kickstart your own projects, you'll probably associate quite a bit with both Izumi siblings.
Eromanga-sensei airs Saturdays at 10 AM PDT.
RoomMate
This "side M" to the recent first-person POV anime OneRoom casts you as the "apartment manager" for a country house split into apartments. Your tenants are the sporty but laid-back Takumi, the eager young actor Aoi, and the slick businessman Shinya. And as of now, you're moving in with them.
Like OneRoom, this series consists of short episodes where "you" interact within the world of the anime thanks to camera angles that would normally be considered fourth wall breaking. Unlike OneRoom, though, you don't meet the characters one at the time for isolated stories. Rather, they all interact with you within one larger story. Whether they'll split off into personal subplots is another question.
The Hook: It's hopefully not too big of an ask to suggest that you watch to the end of the credits, especially for episodes this short. We'll just say that one of the boys isn't necessarily all that he seems... and not necessarily in a malicious or deceptive way.
Who is it for: If you like bishonen and need something to tide you over while you wait for the next girl's side dating sim to launch, this is definitely right for you. Even if you're only somewhat sure you'll enjoy it, you can probably spare four minutes to watch an episode and find out.
RoomMate airs Wednesdays at 8:15 AM PDT.
Kenka Bancho Otome -Girl Beats Boys-
How's this for you? An anime based on a dating sim based on a famous beat-'em-up game series. The keystone of Kenka Bancho Otome is Hinako, a supposed orphan whose twin brother Hikaru finds her again and asks to switch schools with her. In his place, she attends the rough-and-tumble Shishiku Academy, a school that could make Gokusen look tame by comparison. All Hinako knows is that, in Hikaru's place, she must "rise to the top" of her school. Within a few minutes, it becomes pretty clear what that means.
Does this lonely girl, who grew up with no idea that she was the daughter of a notorious Yakuza family, have what it takes to survive, much less beat her way to the top?
The Hook: Boy, does she ever.
Who is it for: If you're a fan of the original Kenka Bancho Otome, you'll definitely want in on this. The entire lead cast is back to reprise their roles. And like RoomMate, this is good for anyone on the lookout for a bishonen-centric series. Basically if you find yourself thinking Ouran High School Host Club would be better if everyone just punched each other a lot, this is for you.
Kenka Bancho Otome -Girl Beats Boys- airs Wednesdays at 8 AM PDT.
