Shunichiro Tachibana’s Last Season Spoiler
Tumblr media
I have to be honest.
I’ve been a huge reader of Irresistible Mistakes since 2017, when I was just a freshman in high school. Back then, I was captivated by its melodramatic flair, and the plot had this exciting, forward-moving energy that kept me hooked. I vividly remember when Kijima, Kiriya, and Shunichiro’s first season debuted on the standby app—it felt fresh, engaging, and full of promise. But after season four, the magic started to fade. The pacing became unbearably slow, and the storylines dragged on without delivering any real payoff for the readers. It became a frustrating read.
Take Tachibana’s arc, for example. In his final season, the first part opens with the MC reflecting on changes within the company, which had become a more progressive and liberal environment. By now, the MC is a part-time employee because she’s juggling her career as an award-winning novelist. That’s when the familiar trope hits: she starts feeling sick, notices she missed her period, and takes a pregnancy test. She’s pregnant. Yay, right? Except, this is where it all feels strangely… underwhelming.
Tachibana, noticing her odd behavior, asks what’s wrong, and to my surprise, he reacts to the pregnancy news with happiness—totally different from his panicked reaction in season three during the pregnancy scare. They visit a maternity hospital (which I’m sure surprised Kings of Paradise fans), and it’s confirmed she’s six weeks along. He tells her to take it easy at work, and she eventually informs her co-workers that she’ll be working from home. Kiriya, Yuuki, Minoru, Sakura, and a couple of others are supportive, but here’s where things start to crumble for the MC.
Morning sickness hits her hard, to the point where she’s losing weight and can’t keep anything down without getting sick. Tachibana advises her to take it easy since it’s her first pregnancy, and there’s a lot of internal dialogue between them—mostly arguments. Then, Tachibana’s parents drop by, furious they weren’t told about the pregnancy sooner. His father asks the MC if she plans to contribute anything to the family or if she’ll be ‘lazy’ unlike Shunchiro’s mother, who supposedly did it all without help. This scene just grates. After they leave, Tachibana pleads with the MC to stay with her parents for the remainder of her pregnancy, but she refuses.
Part two of the last season focuses on them making amends, and now she’s going on maternity leave. Minoru and Toma are emotional, telling her she can always come back after the baby is born. Tachibana, trying to be thoughtful, makes her dinner when she returns home, and she starts reminiscing about their breakup in NYC. He apologizes for his earlier comments about sending her home and promises she can always lean on him because pregnancy isn’t easy.
And yet, despite all this support, the MC continues to feel sick and tired constantly. Things get so bad that Tachibana secretly hires a maid to take care of the chores she can’t manage. This, of course, leads to another fight. The words of her father-in-law echo in her head, making her feel useless, and it drives her to argue with Tachibana again. Eventually, he sends her to stay with her parents for a few weeks, and she feels much happier there. However, Minoru reaches out, wanting to meet up about a project she helped with before leaving. During their meeting, he confesses that people at work see Tachibana as distant and depressed.
When she returns, she and Tachibana make up, and then—boom—the baby girl is born. And that’s it. The storyline feels like it builds up to this massive crescendo, but the conclusion falls flat, like an ending that was filtered through just to tie up loose ends.
The last three seasons really dragged. Instead of exploring more nuanced themes—like political family dynamics, which is what initially drew readers to Shunichiro’s arc—they spent far too much time portraying Tachibana as this ‘flawless’ man while the MC came across as a complete mess. Voltage missed the opportunity to introduce new characters or develop more meaningful family drama. And honestly, I was hoping for a boy instead of a girl, which could’ve added more layers to the family dynamic.
Ultimately, this chapter felt like a slow march toward nothing significant. It lacked the emotional depth and plot progression I was hoping for. I haven’t even bothered to read the other endings yet, because frankly, this one left a bad taste in my mouth.

Hello everyone ~🌸
I've decided to create a Tumblr for Eye Can See You!
For those who haven't stumbled upon it, “Eye Can See You” is a brand new horror otome game.
S Y N O P S I S
The game follows the story of Aiya Yoshida, a young Japanese maiden who enters a new school and encounters several spirits. But it turns out that not all of them have good intentions, thus giving a new whole meaning to “surviving high school”.
F E A T U R E S
2 hours of demo gameplay filled with twists and funny moments
A compelling story with paranormal and mythology
Psychological horror and gore
Great voice-over in Japanese
Three romance routes (?)
Multiple choices that truly matter
Characters full of life (most of them) and personality
Cute original character art
S C R E E N S H O T S

If you enjoy horror and chill games like #DDLC and #theLetter, check out "Eye Can See You"! 🌸
Play now!

It’s so insidious how leftists want to take over every single aspect of entertainment. It’s not enough for them that they’ve already infiltrated mainstream gaming spaces and forced their ideology into those games—they have to look at extremely niche releases from the East like otome games and go, “Wow, a genre that appeals to straight women? That’s bad! We should start demanding that these games shoehorn in trans characters and gay love interest options and the option to make the MC nonbinary or male!”

Edit: I'm trying to see if PayPal works on Play Store. Will soon update the results. Yep personal research. What are your methods?
Any non japanese playing and paying japanese otomes?
How do you pay without owning a credit card?? There's a really great deal in bakuten I don't wanna miss. Any help is highly appreciated ❤️💯
I know about volpass but the payment options are wierd... A few are japanese banks I guess.
I don't trust webmoney as I trust paypal and... Sorry just about personal preferences and insecurities. Not blaming any app or holding grudges against any. But truly... I wonder how folks are spending on japanese games bc I know these days lots of people are spending.
It took me ages to figure out how to use screen translation and procure a different device to get started with my jp games journey. And now the next hurdle is making purchases. There are some really cool deals that are worth buying and it hurts my head that I can't buy any of them as I'm now

I like it how every time there’s a new character, they take the name from a popular entertainer. Meguro Ren from the Japanese band, Snow Man. I think he was in a drama for a popular light novel series.

私は日本人ですが、乙女ゲームで言われた一言一句について過剰に考えるのをやめて欲しいと思います。この点で、いくらかばかり馬鹿げたことになっています... 西洋のファンは本当に誤った情報をたくさん出してくるため、疲れます...
// わかりました...それはとても残念です。一部の西洋のファンは本当にうざいですね。(笑)
ミスをしてすみません。🙏🏻
I hope I understood it well since I had to look up some words too in order to make myself sure but to sum it up, the Anon is Japanese and they’re tired of Western fans overthinking every little thing about otome games, which is 100% valid because some western fans are so annoying that they can’t separate fiction from reality.
