seriously in love with you

pairing: kokichi ouma x gn!reader

summary: kokichi's teasing finally lands him a date with you!

“okay, so you know how i'm like–”

“absolutely embarrassingly in love with me?” kokichi grinned, as he interrupted you. “yes, i'm aware.”

you sighed and rolled your eyes in response, which only made kokichi grin more.

“can you take anything i say serious?” you sighed, to which kokichi was quick to reply.

“i don't know… can you ask me out on a date already~?” he hummed innocently, knowing too well what an annoying brat he was being.

“if i ask you out on a date, will you let me finish telling my story?” you asked, sounding defeated.

“of course, anything for you, sweetheart~” kokichi giggled in response, happy to finally get that date with you that he wanted for so long.

Cw: We are going to talk here about periods, and sex education in the past. Read this note according to your own sensibilities :)

How women dealt with periods during Edo period, article by shunga enthousiast Shungirl who made a paper pad following instructions found in makura bunko 枕文庫 - ie ancient sex books illustrated with erotic ukiyoe.

One of such makura bunko is 渓斎英泉 Keisai Eisen's 閨中紀聞-枕文庫, first published in 1822. It details Chinese remedies recipes for menstrual pains and irregularities, give tips about sex, and information about menstruations and pregnancy. From a modern point of view, some beliefs are outdated, but it was then such a bestseller it went through several reeditions.

Several words were apparently in use during Edo era to designates menstrual period: keisui 経水, gekkei 月経, tsukiyaku 月水, etc.

When girls went throught their first period, their females relatives or nannies would taught them how to deal with them. One method was to use paper as sanitary products (please note people without easy access to paper probably dealt with periods differently).

__________ 御馬 paper pads

Sanitary pads, such as the one recreated above by Shungirl, were then called mima 御馬 (probably as a pun on true "mima" which were then fine horses own by noblemen, or attached to sanctuaries as mounts for gods etc) or simply ouma お馬 ("honorable" horse).

Ouma were made from inexpensive recycled paper called Asakusagami 浅草紙. Sheets were folded 8 times, tied with twisted paper strings (koyori 紙縒), and then wrapped with another layer of folded paper. It was secured once again with paper strings.

Part of the strings could be left long so to tie around the waist, or/and pad was hold into place by wearing fundoshi 褌 loincloth (which would also help prevent leaking on inner tights).

Asakusagami quality was low (it was also used as toilet paper) so paper pads had to be changed often, meaning you had to fold quite a lot of them to go through your period!

Shungirl folded the pad above following instructions found in the book 実娯教絵抄, which provided several other "models":

__________ 詰め紙 paper tampons

Another method for dealing with periods were tampon-like paper bundles which were inserted into the vagina, the 詰め紙 (tsumeshi? I am not sure of the reading).

This method may have first appeared in red-light districts (?). Beside its use for periods, prostitutes also used those tampons as method of contraception (OP has an interesting article on this subject).

By the end of Edo period and into Meiji, paper tampons were widely used even by women who were not prostitutes - despite voices branding this method as unsanitary.

__________ About girls' coming of age rites

Menarche (first period) was an important milestone for girls, and was celebrated as such via specific rites (shochō o iwau 初潮を祝). Those differed a lot from places to places, and also depended on social status.

Celebrations would concern close family, but often spread to wider community who could received for example a festive meal (sekihan 赤飯) for the occasion (some Edo era senryû poems stress how mortifying this publicity could be!).

Interestingly, some traditions were also pretty sweet: in some places, mothers would sew 3 stiches into their daughter's underskirt (koshimaki 腰巻き) as a good luck charm, hoping their periods would last only 3 days <3

Those rites were part of coming of age traditions (seijoshiki 成女式) which marked the start of a young woman adulthood. Another example is the blackening of teeth (ohaguro お歯黒) which usually started around 16-17 years old.

Celebrating menarche publicly was a way of advertising that the girl was no longer a child and would "soon" be a bride. Yet, if menarche often took place around 13-14 years old, in reality it was somehow unusual to have girls married so soon!

Before marriage, especially in non-noble/samurai families, young women often started their sexual life via flings or yobai 夜這い ("night crawling" ie pseudo-secret nighttime encounters) before any wedding actually took place.

dating kokichi ouma

pairing: kokichi ouma x gn!reader

a/n: i really grew to love kokichi recently and he somehow sneaked his way up into my fav danganronpa characters <3

kokichi has never been in a relationship until he started dating you, yet he lies about it and pretends like he has been with countless people before you

though just based on how clumsy he is when it comes to being intimate and how quickly he gets flustered, you can guess that he was just lying about that

kokichi tries not to lie to you too much once you two start dating, since he believes you deserve honesty in a relationship, yet sometimes he falls back into his old habits

he especially starts to pick up bad habits again when he's jealous! 

he gets jealous very easily, yet always lies and pretends like he isn't upset about seeing you talk to another guy

however, those guys he claims not to be jealous about end up getting teased and pranked by kokichi quite a lot for "no particular reason"

kokichi is just really protective of you, but since he can't physically do something against people he doesn't like, he has to result to using his wits and pranks to get rid of them

he can even be downright possessive! he was hesitant to fall in love but once he started dating you, he became scared of losing you again, leading to his clingy and possessive behavior

speaking of clingy, kokichi loves to cuddle with you, even if he always plays it off as a joke

out of all the ways to show affection, cuddling is his favorite one

there's nothing more intimate to him than laying on the couch with you, arms wrapped around each other and feeling so safe and comfortable that you two just end up falling asleep…
