Yuki's Story FAQ and Contributions

Hey. I know this is nearly two weeks late for International Women's Day, but it's still Women's History Month to me. This is a good month to see how women can show that they can just be as good as men on many subjects. Hard-working, talented, and many other things. I did plan last year's women's day about this upcoming thing, but I haven't had a chance to. This year, I didn't keep track of this, but I do want to give something out. This "Thing" I'm referring to is a good explanation about why I made Yuki's Story. I wanted to explain about why I made the series and the characters, and explain about them. I first thought of this in late August 2015. It was initially gonna be black and white with certain colors in my imagination, resembling how Wii Fit characters look. I also imagine some amazing girl who is very much interesting to have as much story as I can put out. Her name is Yuki Koriyama. She's a tomboy who is really popular in her school due to her athletic talents and be kind to her peers. Yuki really enjoys doing sport activities and do challenges on games. She also has a geeky side who isn't afraid to admit it or share it. Everyone sees Yuki as the popular girl in school who is really different than a lot of popular girl or boy portrayed in the media. She has a lot of friends, but frequently hangs with a few. She has two best friends, Rin and Retasu, who are her first female friends since 6th grade. While Yuki is usually popular among boys and hangs with them, Rin and Retasu are the only ones who have time to spend time with her, even outside of school. A lot of her fans, while they pay a lot of attention to her in their free time, a lot of them have their times occupied anywhere else. Yuki has a brother named Ryo, who is a year older than her. He also helps her out at times, and even has some time to hang out with her. Yuki has a boyfriend named Minoru, who is her first crush. Yuki knows that he has a lot of hard time in schools and wants to make up for him. She wants to protect him and make his life easier in school. Her main rival is Ron. Ron was a friendly rival to Yuki before she develop a crush to Minoru. Yuki then later dislikes the guy for having a problem with Minoru being with her. Yuki is a really nice girl, but she can be pretty protective whenever Ron and his buddies tries to bother or hurt Minoru. Yuki had a secret crush on Minoru for a while, and same with him. Until after summer break, they first met at the rooftop in school. They both realize that they both love each other and openly hang out.

When I create the series for the first time, what really changed after finishing the very first chapter in September 2015? I did mention that it would be an art style of Wii Fit character, that the female one is Yuki, and the male one is Ron, while a more made up slender guy is Minoru. When I saw a flash game called Kisekae 2, it was the perfect one to make a character to show how the characters look like from Yuki's Story. I did it when Yuki's Story was just out, but I handled this better in February 2016. As for the characters, I liked the name, Yuki. It seems to be my favorite girl's Japanese name. Her last name took a while to make it sound right. Her last name was initially Botome, but I think to myself that there should be a better last name for her. The last name turns out to be Koriyama, with altering Toriyama, the guy who made Dragonball and Dragon Quest, and a few others. I don't know that much Japanese last names that time. I do watch several anime before, I also know a bit less on the first names. Minoru was Yunsu, but since both Yunsu and Yuki sounded weird since it sound similar, I thought of Minoru. Minoru's last name is Tamara. It sounds unique. I also had Yuki's brother named Fuyuki, and I did post it at one point. I decide to change his name to Ryo to sound really different from Yuki.

What made my decide to make the character, Yuki? I had several favorite female characters that I really like because they are really enjoying. There are also few other female characters that I heard who had interesting concepts. Characters like Konata Izumi, Aki Homura, Sakaki, Karou Matsubara, Kagura, and few others are my inspiration for Yuki. Her character is the highlight for the series. I did make her a tomboy because I do like a lot of tomboy characters due to doing things that shows that they really can do things and show to be mentally strong. Don't worry, I know girly characters can be as interesting too, and I plan to make a list of them. I just think I want to make a tomboy character to be made more interesting without some norms holding her back. Yuki loves doing gym activities and she is really strong too. I made her a nice character to be more legitimately popular. I also decided to make her nice to have another tomboy character who isn't really cold. There are some tomboy characters in the media who falls for stereotypes on the media like being cold or have a deep voice, but Yuki is not really cold. She knows who to be mean at. Sure, she likes a lot of activities that is considered masculine, which is interesting to see her try out with a big passion. She has a lot on her life to explain a lot more about her side of the story. Yuki was a troublemaker as a kid, and to an extent, still is. However, her mischievous leads to positives like she either gets in trouble to help someone or to make her classmates laugh. Yuki is really tall, like 5'10 inch, and she is considered the tallest girl and tallest student in the school. She's grows to 6 by the end of her high school. I also made her into geek culture, like reading a lot of manga and watch anime. She plays video games too, mostly violent ones. Yuki is really a brave girl who has really great self esteem. I also can show that she can have flaws, like she's not really good at cooking and allergic to flowers. She also is not good at feminine activities, even if she tried. Yuki being good at sports and talents comes from her childhood of wanting to be a ninja when she grows up. It took a lot of years of training on her own to be great at games and challenges. Yuki is a very brave, risk taker, tough, and fearless girl anyone has ever met in her school. She also has interested in cute stuffed animals and has a collection of them in her bedroom. As a whole, Yuki is your typical tomboy to have a lot of attention or to root for. With all that character archetype, it is a rare one and a rare type leads to subvert expectations more successfully.

What made her like Minoru and what is their relationship like? Yuki likes Minoru because she is into boys that are not manly, more sensitive, and has a heart of gold. She only finds Minoru to be her mate. Minoru is a smart guy who gives really great advice. When Yuki dates him, she plays the dominant. Also including on her tomboyishness, she mostly plays a role of a typical boyfriend, like she is the strong and tallest one in the relationship, and is the one who helps Minoru on many things. She holds the door for him, carry heavy stuff for him while working together, and she is protects him at all costs. Yuki is really a violent protective girlfriend, meaning whenever Ron decides to hurt Minoru or if his buddies do, she will fight them and hurt them back, at the risk of getting in trouble sometimes. Yuki sees Minoru getting treated wrong in school because he has had trouble interacting to strict teachers, and it causes misunderstanding to his classmates. She feels the pain whenever Minoru cries or being treated unfairly, that she wanted to help him out as much as she can do. Thankfully, Minoru's life has gone easier since he moved in to Yuki's class and even met after school. They both had a secret crush on each other, and after meeting, they decide to hang in public, and eventually, her peers knows that they are a couple and are totally fine with it. Yuki introduces him with her friends and vice versa. She and Minoru really get along pretty well. They share things in common like reading same type of Manga, play some games, doing activities with each other, and sees each other to have great chemistry. Despite Minoru not being strong like Yuki, he does not care if she is a strong and tall girlfriend. In fact, he does admit that he likes her tomboyish nature because he finds Yuki to be entertaining, and being a rare character, he finds it incredible. They both accept their lives and root for each other. Minoru likes to watch her gym activities, and hangs with her. Minoru shares some good advice to help Yuki learn a lot of things. At the end of the day, her friends seems to like both of them going out because they support each other. I did make Minoru shorter than Yuki because he has height troubles, and also the fact that I wanted a relationship that has the tall girl and short boy trope because I wanted to show how that relationship plays out. I wanted to show how no one should mind about a boy dating a girl who is taller than him. It could be that he has height problems, or she is just biologically tall and that she has a good personality. I also want to show how a tall girl can be use as an advantage, like helping the guy out and show the others that relationships cannot be judged by their height difference. Lastly, I wanted to have a relationship that pairs a tomboy and a sensitive guy to have a rare relationship to be seen as something special to anyone's thoughts. I know there are some pairs like this on some movies and TV shows, but a lot of them don't seem to workout well. The girl is usually portrayed as an annoyed or cold person and always acts better than the boy, and the boy is mostly portrayed as annoyingly cowardly that many don't like (may have misunderstanding) and are always a target as the butt monkey, you know, throw or abuse him with jokes many times that can make the girl embarrassed to have a boy like him to be that. Yuki and Minoru is nothing like that. They are both a team and unique, and didn't need to follow traditional relationships. They work on their advantage on their different kind of relationship. Their peers at school see this as a unique, special thing that makes a lot of them happy to see them go out and that they didn't need to shove in their different kind of relationship to everyone at all. They only play out by showing, not telling or forcing it. This is why a relationship between Yuki and Minoru is really awesome.

So how did her popularity started in Fujiwara High School? On Yuki's first day of school, she didn't have a lot of classmates from her junior high in Fujiwara. She sees them, but not a lot of them. Yuki likes to meet new people. In her first day, not many people know her. In her first day of gym class, Yuki wants to show everyone how talented she is. On that day at the outdoors, Yuki sees the rock climbing by the building. It was there for an event that just passed and wasn't taken out yet. Her class sees the rock climbing, and after that, Yuki decides to climb on it. She wears the safety attachments to climb, and then she goes up. Rin yells and freaks out that Yuki is doing this. Everyone notices Yuki climbing and decides to watch, even the teacher. The teacher yells at Yuki to come down, because she's not supposed to do that. Yuki ignores it and climbs up until she catches the flag. It took her less than a minute to do that, and everyone got surprised of how she did that pretty well. Yuki climbs down with the flag, and came down safely. Everyone was shocked that she decides to risk this to show how great she is. With her mischiefs, the teacher of course yells at her and takes her out to the gym and stays there. Yuki was told that if she pull something like that off, she will get sent to the office. Later in the same day, her classmates ask her how she is really talented and she tells them the story about how she wanted to be a talented ninja as a kid. The teacher kinda changes his mind about Yuki and that he is happy to have someone like her in his class. They both get along quickly. Not just that story, but she stops all the bullying and helps her peers out. Yuki express a lot about of herself, like she likes anime, manga, and video games. She attends to geek clubs, but mostly attends after school gym activities. Of course, I didn't write about this yet as of this date, but I only mentioned that she wanted to be a talented ninja when she was growing up. Before Fujiwara, Yuki was pretty much popular due to her mischiefs just to express herself, and also helps others too back then. In Junior High, Yuki meets Rin and Retasu for the first time. Both of them likes her jokes and thinks she's funny. That's how she finds her best friends. In Junior High, Yuki did get into fights to stop bullies, and at one time, she has everything going on her in 8th grade. Bullies were in several places, picking on her friends and classmates, and at that point, she fights them all, which leads her to be kicked out of that school and got forced to be home schooled. With that, she only went to school in the first few weeks of eighth grade. That is why Rin tries to stop Yuki when she was rock climbing.

Who are Rin and Retasu? They are her best friends since Junior high. They met since sixth grade when they see Yuki as a funny person. Both Rin and Retasu really like her talents. Rin Rosada is a girl who can give good suggestions. She is also a perky girl who knows how other feels. Retasu is Rin's best friend since grade school. She is the intelligent that can make some plans work, and works out their problems. Retasu also helps out their homeworks by figuring them out. While Rin and Retasu are girly than Yuki, Rin is the girliest of the group. Despite that, they like to spend time with Yuki because they find her cool. They are Yuki's first actual friends who are girls. Before, Yuki rarely has friends with girls as a kid because of her differences. Rin and Retasu are her only friends who have plenty of time outside of school to hang with in their high school years since a lot of her peers don't have a lot of time outside of school. In fact, Rin and Retasu weren't popular when they met Yuki. They enjoy her talents and play games together as well as spending activities that Yuki finds best. Retasu's twin brothers used to hang with Yuki before Sophomore. Her main peers are Rin, Retasu and Ryo. Rin and Retasu loves video games and play a lot of categories, but they have different genre taste. Rin likes rhythm and adventure games. Retasu likes games that has problem solving and RPGs. Yuki plays more on harder games including violent games. Rin specifically loves the Pretty Rhythm, PriPara, and Pretty Cure franchise. She is into boys at school and had taken summer jobs before to meet them. Retasu likes to learn about many things and had worked at the shrine before. She is very nice and has a crush on Takahashi, Minoru's friend. Both girls have their own actions. Rin isn't really that great at gym class, but she does like ice skating and yoga exercise. She doesn't mind getting into fights if her enemies are harming her, and that she has a good strong slap by hitting them really fast. Rin may be the weakest next to Eru Hibika, but she can decide to fight back if it's her choice. Retasu grew up with her twin brothers who are a year ahead, and that she enjoys playing sports with her brothers that are considered challenging. She also prefers anime and manga that are shouen. Retasu likes to think about others and wants to help them.

Is the new girl Eru Hibika? In Spring 2016 when I was only doing journals, I created her. Eru Hibika is a new student since Junior year. She wears glasses and has black hair. Eru is the smartest girl in the school and is into coding. She's a gamer and often plays older games because she finds something special about them. Eru is a shy girl who doesn't talk that much unless of someone else talks to her. She's rather timid, and may act odd due to her asocial behavior, but she does try to hang with friends and wants to stick with them. Yuki and her friends see her as a very eccentric person. Eru lives in a rich family who lives in a bigger house. She has said that she not that rich, but she doesn't really see her family as a typical rich people. She does get a ride home by her butler. Her parents works at video game companies, although each work in different companies. Eru owns many of her consoles, and she has a goal to code a game that many will enjoy. She's learns a lot about coding. Eru hangs with Yuki and them sometimes, but hangs less often than Rin and Retasu, like Yuki's other fans. Although, she still is willing to visit Yuki and her friends from time to time. Eru is another recurring female character that is found to be interesting. She is diagnosed with learning disability, mainly autism spectrum. Despite that, Eru sees herself as a normal person who wants to legitimately have better social life. Unlike Rin and Retasu, Eru has no interest in relationship during her whole high school year. She's afraid if she would have to deal with either drama or have wrong mates. In the end, Eru Hibika is another friend of Yuki and them, and they saw her coming out from the car with her butler on the first day of junior year. Yuki and Minoru decide to meet her, and that's how Eru made friends in Fujiwara.

Interesting characters. I see that you have enemies in the story. Ron and his two girls, Aki and Ren. I created them since Ron's character relies on the story. Ron is a guy who was just popular like Yuki, due to having similar activities. He only wanted Yuki to me his mate, but Yuki refused and pretended that she doesn't want a relationship. Since Yuki likes Minoru, Ron has been a jealous person and blames him for Yuki falling in love with him instead of Ron. He threw off Minoru from the table, and it shows that Yuki is a violently protective girlfriend, by punching him in front of the cafeteria. After that, Ron decides to hate Yuki as much as Minoru. Despite that, all he wants is Yuki to change to like him instead. Ron ended up bring a criminal later on. He hired his gangs to beat up Minoru one time, and Yuki ended up hurting them. Before Sophomore year, he met Aki and Ren. They both were best friends with him. Neither of them have interest in Ron, but decides to help him get Yuki to he his girlfriend before they knew that Yuki likes Minoru. I names the two, Aki and Ren, because I was playing a mobile game once, and there were two girls who are also named Aki and Ren. They doubt a player and doesn't really respect him, and are stereotypical tsunderes, a cliche that I don't really like, and it included accidental perversion. They act mean to the player and since I know it's gonna get weird, I delete the app and didn't like the two. I decide to create them as the antagonist with Ron. I originally was gonna have Aki and Ren to be unlikeable, and it seems to be that way in the journals for few years, to an extent. In my MMD panels, they seem to be more like interesting antagonists. I mean, it's more interesting if the antagonists are made to be more interesting. Aki and Ren had stories about Yuki in the past, and holds on to it. Ren was found to not be trustworthy by Yuki in Junior High and had a fight. Aki used to date Yuki's brother, Ryo during her freshmen year, and Aki was a spoiled girlfriend who cares only about herself. They only dated for a while, and Ryo dumped her. Aki was thinking about beating him up, but he stopped her. Yuki blamed on her and told her to back off. In the journals, Aki and Ren still decide to be bad even after Ron got sent to juvie. They relied on themselves to be the brats to everyone, up until the beginning of Senior Year. In MMD panels, they both decide to be redeemable after the incident with Ron getting Minoru getting beaten up. Generally, Aki and Ren just wanted at least good attention. They are also fanatics. Aki is an anime fanatic who acts like a typical fangirl, and similarly, Ren is into video games. Not just adventures games, but also role playing games and few others. Aki and Ren are good best friends.

Are there moments you regret doing in Yuki's Story? As a matter of fact, I do. Especially in the first year of doing the journals. I regret bringing Ron back in Junior year, and say that he came back from juvie with proofs that he hasn't harmed anyone specifically, but he hired his gangs in the day where they beat up Minoru, and that Ron was in charge of that innocent. I had to put him on the bus later on because I thought there was not much point of bringing him back to school and still be the main antagonist. I had to have him removed by saying that he's getting therapy to be a better person. I know there are better ways to have him back from juvie, but I did that too soon. I also regret making Karen in their junior year. She was the new leader for Aki and Ren when they still decide to be narcissists. She was taught to not like Yuki and them without a personal reasons. Although, she does like Minoru, as in love. Karen seems like a jealous person and acts all whiny at front of Yuki, and I thought she was too unlikeable. Also, It made me realize that a creepy girl liking Minoru is somewhat cliched. She just likes him without good thoughts of him. Of course, she was the first person to be put on the bus, before Ron. Karen left the team and the school when Ron came back and didn't like Karen for liking Minoru, which also gives me thought that their junior year is my least favorite year for them in the journal entries. Karen was nearly a wasted character, and I bother not to include her in MMD panels. Ron won't be in majority of the MMD panels since after Chapter 10. My other regrets are initially making the chapter 53 another season. In Late 2016 and most of 2017, I did not make that much chapters, only making about ten of them as opposed to 53 in Sept 2015 - Sept 2016. I reverted 53-60 to stay as one season. I was going for a style of anime style of episodes per season. During those years, I was busy trying to figure out to improve the MMD panels strips. I also finished college and trying to find jobs. I already mastered the MMD panels enough to do more journals, but not as often as it's first year run. In Dec 2017 - 2018, I only made 14 chapters. It's somewhat better, but I had to do moving and even finding jobs. I recently worked with someone for three months for a job, but it didn't work that well. That's why there hasn't been much uploaded since November, or rarely anything posted. I got more time now to do Yuki's Story. MMD panels got regularly back on track. If there is anything else I regret deciding on Yuki's Story, it goes for very minimal problems that can easily be done. And also changing the dialogue style in mid 2016 to late 2017. I prefer doing the journals much like a script. Besides that, I should announce things in a better way. I would delete my previous progress blogs since some progresses has either changed or already done, and myself changing. I guess I got enough break on the journals to make better stories that are superior to how Junior year looked. It's not terrible, and I can read them, but it does have some decision I wished to solve already. Currently, I can think of great stories.

What Yuki's Story's demographic is aimed for? I did make it more interesting for teens to adults. No mature content are in the series, like drugs, alcohol, or fanservice as seen in most animes. It does have dark moments, and have valid romances. It's also an action oriented series. For gender, if this was made as a manga or light novel, the industry would most likely list this series as Shouen or Male. It could be because of Yuki's character and that she appeals to boys. I personally want to aim this series for both genders. Both genders in the series are treated fairly, and both genders in it are divisive. Viewers may favorite Yuki, Minoru, Rin, Retasu, Ryo, Eru, or other characters based on their taste. It is taught that both genders don't really matter if an individual wants to be good at something or be an interesting person, without forcing some agenda. We just see how each characters can show that they are interesting. Also, there is no weird fanservice, or accidental perversions or anything like that. I never liked these cliches. In the end, it is a series that is made for both genders to see and aims for adolescence and above.

Last thing, will you like to get help from others to help you improve the series? I would welcome them if they decide to. I don't really make a profit out of Yuki's Story or my videos. I don't plan to make Patreon on Yuki's Story since barely anyone reads them. Only one commented that they read the MMD panels, but that's it. I don't mind, but also, I do want to give a bit more attention in a legitimate way. I just don't want to shove the series to everyone unwillingly, but only suggest once to see it. I would let others to help out the series as an optional thing. I would want to see good suggestions to help out the series. I can have others to help me to improve the acceleration for releases. However, I never have contributions or members for it before. I know I don't have that great experiences on this, but I do want to be fair with others as much as I can show. If you find this story interesting, I can ask is to let me know. I do Yuki's Story as a hobby, but I do want to improve the management of it. If you decide to give suggestions for the series or if you decide to help in any way, let me know. If you decide to join to help the series, I would lend you how the ideas of the series and know each character to fully understand them. I do think suggestions can be a good thing, or if you notice any grammar errors and want to help out, you are welcome to comment about it. If somehow you are unable to help or join as a team or something, I understand in any situation. If you can suggest a PM, notes, discord, or start a group, you can suggest it and I'll see there is a best way. I have said before to someone that I don't use discord that much, but if that's the best way to communicate out of all the options, I may use it more often. Aside from that, if you enjoy my content, I also make Youtube videos, making MMD ones. I have Tumblr and Deviantart, and Twitter, but I mainly use the first two to publish my work. Youtube is also that, but I only post videos there and didn't find the communication that good for a long time. If you read the entire or parts of this posts, I highly thank you. I know how important it is to create your original story and that's the same for me. I help out Skinny Zach films for special effects for his videos.
