Mamoru's Apartment

Mamoru's apartment in the Crystal series.

Building is not exactly the same but rather similar. I wasn't able to walk all the way around the building. Maybe next time.

Slightly different angle.

Up next is Makoto's Crystal Apartment!

I drew the summer festival outfit he wore in the manga and upgraded it because the anime made it look so booooring 🥰

mini-interrogation time! [ valentine's day special ]

to celebrate valentine's day, the guards have asked linagram prisoners one simple question related to this holiday!

"How do you feel about Valentine's Day?"

(all these answers take place after the second trial)

Akio: "My parents celebrate it. I don't really care about it personally. Receiving a gift from him would be nice."

Aimi: "I like the aesthetic and the meaning of it, but I don't have anyone to celebrate it with.."

Prisoner 003, Shun, wasn't able to answer the question. The paper he was supposed to use has also been eaten by him.

Naomi: "How am I supposed to feel about it? Am I supposed to feel anything at all? Please tell me."

Kei: "I like it! But I don't really celebrate it. I remember receiving chocolates once back when I was in school, but I don't remember who made them and how I reacted.."

Eiko: "TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU Do you know when Eiji-kun is going to come back? I have prepared a gift for him.."

Asahi: "I only care about the chocolates. I'm too young for all the romance stuff anyway."

Yurika: "I used to dislike it, but now I get to spend it with Takame-san. So I like it."

Riku: "I always was very popular in school, so obviously I get a lot of gifts and chocolates every year. I usually give the ones I don't like to Yue, but I guess that's not possible anymore."

Reina: "I forgot that it was a thing. I guess this tells you everything you need to know."

third years tokyo trip stories:

tsuzuri: that time kozu and megu became lost children kozue: we did not get lost. that was tsuzuri wandering off. megumi: we were walking around asakusa when i noticed tsuzuri had gone!!

"kozu-tan" found her soon after since she had an idea of where tsuzuri would go (food sample store. also tsuzuri's 365 days card) (she was getting a souvenir for kosuzu) (oden donburi) (she liked it)

kozue wrote on an ema at kanda myoujin [her 365 days card] and also bought one for the clubroom as a souvenir [its on the right of the whiteboard]

they each wrote something on it. kozue wrote "sound health" so everyone will be healthy this year. tsuzuri wrote "harmony," since she wants to have fun with everyone (kozue: that's not really the same meaning...). megumi wrote "ill captivate you, just you wait and see ☆" (kozue: its very "megumi." "right? ehe~" "that wasnt a compliment.")

megumi went to a hand cream store which had lots of different package designs and looked for some for her kouhai as well [its called 365 hand cream]

tsuzuri found a cool dragon keychain that she thought of buying for suzu but she'd already bought the oden and kozu had said to only buy one souvenir...

kozue understands wanting to buy lots of things for your kouhai but itd be difficult to carry that much luggage (megumi thought about how hime-chan and the others were waiting for them and called it "parental love")

tsuzuri says she wants to go on another school trip and megumi's like well if you repeat the year... ("megumi." "im joking~~~~~")

tsuzuri says they should go with the second and first years next time but kozue says thats just a regular trip

kozue went to akihabara for kanda myoujin, megumi went to harajuku for accessories at laforet (and ate crêpes!)

they went to shibuya for the pokémon centre together and tsuzuri says she wanted a plushie of "the pink one with a big face" but kozu wouldn't let her again because it was too big. so she bought a small one instead [guesses ive seen for this are mostly slowpoke and jigglypuff]

they went up tokyo tower too

what they did on the shinkansen:

tsuzuri: looked outside. ate the ekiben she'd chosen with sayaka

megumi: ate a katsu

kozue: listened to music (classic + school idols) since she gets travel sick

they had naps too. also, when they're on the bus in kanazawa kozue always has to wake the other two up

I watched the CDD Special Event today, and I noticed halfway through that the person who drew the event illustration of Mima committed a blunder themself. He’s got the top button of his shirt undone, and they switched the placement of the button and button hole. He couldn’t button it up all the way even if he wanted to…

Weekend treat: stop by a cherry blossoms' garden crowded with families after entrance ceremony and grab some coffee nearby!

7/4/2024

Since the recent bad weather, sadly I couldn't have a chance to go see cherry blossoms in spite of full bloom season. Therefore, it was delightful that I finally managed to see them for the first time this year in the warm spring weather. My dad is an enthusiastic, novice/amateur photographer and loves taking a picture of flowers and landscape. So, he was being excited about that as well.

It was really crowded with people in a cherry blossoms' garden, which is located not in Tokyo; in particular, families in good attire, or smartly dressed children putting on their school bags "randoseru"（this Japanese backpack is commonly for kids in elementary school, but I remember that Zooey Deschanel was spotted wearing one a decade ago）, were willingly gathering and taking pictures of their children with cherry blossom trees, because that scene has been regarded as very Japanese this country.

In fact, it reminded me of the day when I attended the entrance ceremony of elementary school and the very first day of school surrounded by guardians, and I was taken some photos of with cherry blossoms trees on our way home.

I was being staring at children moving freely there admiring their "pre-sanitized" and so much energy to the point where some of them seemed ok to get soaked in a small waterway even by accident. I got power from them and their frankness; then, I a bit felt like doing my elementary school days over and imagined that it would be hopefully different from what I've done in a good way（I could've got things done better, as far as I'm concerned now）.

Afterwards, mom and dad were so tired that we popped in Starbucks and took a coffee break. It's been about 8 years since I last ordered at Starbucks. That was why I was being excited even to stand in line for.

Back in the temple town of Narita, Chiba Prefecture, for the first time in a few years on Monday.

It was fun to slip out of the flow of the national holiday foot traffic on Omotesando-dori, the main approach to Naritasan Shinsho-ji temple, and escape to the quiet of some of the other streets that navigate this attractive town.

Park Safety.

This sign was really hard to get a good picture. Likely built when the park was in 1949.

I love the drawings that go with the rules!

Please don't feed the pigeons!

Next up will be Arisugawa Park and a very familiar fountain!
