Mizumura Family Members

This is a list and summary of some ocs who'll eventually appear in the Rewrite! They're a yakuza group who have Oceanic Flames/Dying Will Flames of the Ocean! They're an antagonistic group to the Vongola Group! Info under cut!

Hideko Mizumura - The Ocean Flame/Sky equivalent. She's the "princess" of her school, the head of the student council, and more. On the outside and from reputation, she is perfect in every way. In reality, she's a bitch. All the positive things she does are for negative reasons. For example: She upholds a zero tolerance bullying policy! Because if you're going to be bullied in her school, it'll be by her or one of her guardians. She's like Hibari in the sense she sees her school as her territory, so she doesn't tolerate it when she feels people are encroaching on her territory. By the end of the arc, she'll reflect a lot on herself and her actions, but doesn't fully redeem herself right away.

Miyu Saito - The Tsunami Flame/Storm equivalent. With a cute, kogal gyaru look and generally bubbly personality towards her fellow students all while following the "princess" around, Miyu is viewed as Hideko's "pet". In reality, she's her lover and right hand woman. While her hobbies and passions lie in fashion and beach related things, her pride rests in being extremely loyal and ruthless for her boss/girlfriend. If Hideko says the word, Miyu will heed her call. However their relationship at the start of the arc is very one sided and Miyu is very insecure about that fact. Miyu also has trichotillomania, resulting in her preferring to have her actual hair really short and wear wigs.

Jun Kanzaki - The Abyss Flame/Cloud equivalent. She's deemed the oddest of the guardian group and seen as a bit of a social outcast. She doesn't really care though, heavily preferring to be alone. The Abyss Flame is a very eccentric artist who'll do anything for her art. Aesthetically she's very gothic, but like with a lot of ocean themes. Out of the group, she's the most disillusioned with Hideko, being able to see their leader for all her faults and flaws. However, this doesn't make her any less loyal to her.

Megumi Kawakami- The Tide Flame/ Rain equivalent. The award winning head of the swim team at Midori Middle and one of Hideko's best friends. She's beloved by her fellow students! Except the swim team members that don't hold up to her expectations. She's known for making them train much harder and longer than those she deems to be doing well, often not even letting them rest. That's all she has for now.

Ren Muto - The Sea Flame/Sun equivalent. Head of the volleyball team, when not in season she pursues track. Much like the Tide flame, she treats certain teammates cruelly. But again because she's popular everywhere else in the school, no one speaks up. And that's about all I have for her right now outside of her going to be very tomboyish aesthetically.

Shinju Shimizu - The Reef Flame/Mist equivalent. Another one without much to her. However she does have a colorful, coral inspired Decora Kei look to her and she's an underclassman to the others. Being a first year while I imagine the thus mentioned thus far are 2nd or 3rd years. She also has a one sided crush on the equivalent to the Lightning Guardian who I'll do next.

Tomoko Watanabe - The Current Flame/ Lightning Equivalent! She too, like the Reef, is an underclassman. She's known for being really smart and the top of her class though. However, she's completely obsessed with and idolizes Hideko. As a result, whatever info Miyu doesn't learn through rumor mills, the Current Guardian will be the one to learn then instantly bring to Hideko. At the end of the arc, she's the most bitter towards the Vongola group simply because they managed to win against Hideko. 

Yumi Maekawa- The Arctic Flame/ Snow equivalent.  She, all and all, is a complete WIP as I have nothing for her. All I have is literally just she's loyal to Hideko like the others she's an antagonist lol. Part of why she’s such a WIP in my Snow Flame lore is still mostly a WIP.

Not that there's anything wrong with stories about adorable baby lesbians but does anyone have any recommendations for yuri about, like. Grown women?

Right now all I have is Superwomen in Love, and Does it Count if your First Time is With an Android, and that second one is basically just porn.

[yuri-caps]

omg i am living for this still sick discourse. there's not enough going around TT_TT also! it's really cute of maekawa to have drawn the Big Sight and the ramen she ate with shimizu in her study skethces.. a bitch is crying and that bitch is me

i actually went back thru to find what u were referencing bc i didn’t remember lol! (ch 9, for those curious)

and not to mention, as i’ve been rereading, i’ve been noticing some other cute things, too T^T (i was surprised by how much stuff i forgot about!! maybe bc this is my first reread of most of the earlier chapters)

FOR EXAMPLE,,, how they constantly dote on each other like newlyweds:

and if we’re talking maekawa specifically,, i think it’s funny how she acts aloof and cold sometimes, but is actually a Huge Softie when it comes to Shimizu Being Sad:

lol she always feels bad in the end for being mean and starts acting all mushy!!

[yioh]

hii yura, i've been reading kieta hatsukoi and bloom into you recently and because you sometimes post manga stuff that looks interesting i wanted to ask if you could recommend some other lovely stories? :) also no pressure to answer this <3

oh yes i can definitely do that !! ill try and separate them by genres <3

romance :

sasaki to miyano - a school life romance between 2 boys, miyano who is obsessed with all things bl and sasaki who is 1 year older then miyano and is absolutely smitten by him,, they basically become friends and miyano ends up lending a ton of bl manga to sasaki and their entire relationship is miyano babbling on about whatever new bl he read and sasaki just being . heart eyes af :’) also it’s important to know that the author said they don’t regard this manga itself as a bl, it’s just a romance that happens to be between 2 boys,, you’ll understand why as u read it but dkdhdkdj it’s so adorable and cute and pretty and also has a fun cast !!!! ( also getting an anime in 2022) but i think the best part of this manga is miyano’s self discovery and him thinking about his own relationship w his interest in bl, it’s super super interesting …

run away with me girl - this is basically a romance about a girl called maki, she’s a phd student who has no idea what she wants to do w life and is enduring her nagging mother constantly telling her to get married, and then comes in her first love from her student days misaki !!! the dreamy and free misaki who always had both of them running off somewhere to go on adventures, only she’s now pregnant and apparently getting married soon? this is a story about a girl who wants to run away from the world and her lover who will hold her hand and take her all across the universe if that’s what she wants … the art is so so so spectacular you must must MUST read this, it takes u away into a whole other world ….

i hear the sunspot - this manga centres around taichi, a financially struggling student who’s constantly looking for part time work because he keeps getting fired for his fiery loud personality, and kouhei, another student who has a hearing disability. the way it shows the 2 of them falling in love so slowly but surely just feels so real ??? and believable ?? and it also talks so much on what having that disability entails and how it affects how u treat the world and how the world treats you in turn, it’s a very very interesting read !!!! also once again the art is … gorgeous

still sick! - this manga takes place in a company where shimizu, competent member of staff who is looked up to by all her juniors, has a secret hobby of being into gl manga,, and she ends up getting discovered by maekawa, her coworker.. maekawa ends up wiggling her way into shimizu’s life and they both have the cutest and chaotic relationship and they both have the most Beautiful impact on each others life, growth and self discovery ?? it’s a story about finding your way in life you could say, w load of comedy and romance <333

kieta hatsukoi - a school life story that revolves around aoki and his 3 friends !!! aoki basically has a crush on hashimoto (the girl who sits next to him) and finds out that She has a crush on iida, and then (yes there’s more djskdhdk) iida somehow misinterprets and finds out that aoki has a crush on iida himself 😭 now this might sound like a super tiring storyline but it’s the most beautiful love triangle ( if you can call it that even) i’ve ever seen and i enjoyed every single page of it, all the characters are SO endearing and the friendships are so wholesome and the comedy and art style is amazing … overall good vibes and will make u smile sm just please please trust me on this one chsndjxksm it’s so good ….

fantasy :

witch hat atelier - tbh i don’t know how to describe this story in a way that can encompass completely everything it is about, but it’s probably one of the, if not the, best story i’ve ever read :))) it takes place in a world where magic exists, magic that can be accessed through the art of drawing ! coco, due to unfortunate accidents, ends up becoming a magic apprentice of a man named qifrey along with 3 other girls and it’s a story that revolves around … learning, the morals and ethics of magic, what kind of magic is evil and what kind is good? it had lowkey made me cry on certain parts, not because of sadness but it just … made me think in a way i have never before?? it told me things i never knew i wanted to be told and yeah it jdhzkxjxjz also it has the most ENDEARING cast and i love them all and their dynamic together, not to mention the art ??? THE ART !!!! look it up because hdjdkxjsks BREATHTAKING …. it’s a story that has children characters and treats them exactly how children are meant to be treated :’) it will make u very nostalgic of ur childhood hxksndk

jujutsu kaisen - ok we’ve all heard of this one but ima put it in anyways bec imo the manga is suuuch an amazing read and it’s defo worth it even if you’ve seen the anime :’) gege’s sketchy art style is amazing and all the fight scenes are so cool and the way the story weaves together is just *chefs kiss* also has some very amazing and heartbreaking character arcs !!!!!

chainsaw man - i honestly don’t know what to say about this at all …. as in …. you should read it 100% but there is no way i could ever describe this manga other than, please read this in its entirety with no context i swear to god it’s a … uh…. experience 😭😭😭😭😭 but yeah in general it’s an action/fantasy manga and has some very complex storytelling !! :)

[yioh]

got the first volume of still sick and it’s so cute and pink i loveeeee maekawa and shimizu sm 😭

[yuri-caps]

I hate the prota of Still Sick, the short hair one. Enough to make me not remember her name xD. I just don't like vague selfish people.

i guess ur talking about maekawa! ur definitely entitled to feeling that way about her, i think (i mean, characters who go through a lot of shifts and development—the “fixer-uppers” lol—can def come across self-centered and fickle, and can def be frustrating for that reason)

but i’ve actually kinda been enjoying those aspects of her character?? ch 19’s translation dropped today and as i was reading it, i realized just how much maekawa’s grown since the beginning, and how much she really wants to change herself (thanks to shimizu’s influence! which is cute!)

basically, i can’t really begrudge a character with shitty habits or personality flaws if i really feel like they have the will to actively work on those flaws
