⌈バンビ、大好き⌋

I recently finished a route of the 3rd game of the Tokimeki Memorial Girls' Side franchise. Karen might be my favorite character, I love her so much 🫶

Someone teach her about lesbianism

Pillow Fight - Handicraft Club!

So if Bambi is in Handicraft Club, her attack actually forces her enemy to wear bear kigurumi... LOL! And, causes them to be immobilized! They're slow, unable to attack, and just rawring throughout the room.

I used the minigame in PSP to capture everyone in bear kigurumi. I feel sorry for those who are not amused.

Replaying Tokimeki Memorial GS3 for the first time in over 10 years and realizing more than ever that Hanatsubaki Karen awakened something in me. I'm this close to dropping 35€ on the Switch version just to see and hear her better.

Top 5 Tokimemo GIRLS

Hohoho, this is a good one (and a tough one!). I will stick to the TMGS girls, though I also have my thoughts about some of the girls in TM:FWY! Here are my top five!

5. Hanatsubaki Hikaru

She might be my favourite of the Hanatsubakis (but they are all good). I think what I love about Hikaru is that she always makes me flustered when she flirts with you. Like Karen, she is written in a way that makes it clear that she's attracted to the main character (she is flirty, and hints at how happy she is to go on 'dates' with you when you hang out). There is also a moment in the game where you get to see her in a different light and it feels more intimate.

I think it also helps that there are a lot of fans on JPN Twitter that do a lot of great fanart of her and Mari together and hence, she holds a top 5 spot!

4. Shiho Arisawa

Shiho is special to me because she was the first character I ever got an ending with when I first started to play the series. I know that folks find her strict and stern, but that's just because THEY DON'T KNOW HER LIKE I DO *sobs*. I think her studious nature reminds me a bit of myself when I was in high school (I was a bit friendlier, but I could totally understand her). I was so excited when I saw that she was in the second game. She's so cool, I love her. <3

3. Natsumi Fujii

Shiho was the first person I had an ending with, but Natsumi was the first girl I met ever! I love how fun-loving Natsumi's character is and I feel like she would be super cool to hang out with in real life (though we probably feel very different about grades). She is also voiced by Tomoko Kawakami who I love as Utena in RGU. When I hear Natsumi speak, sometimes I just image Utena and it gets me so giddy.

2. Miyo Ugajin

MIYO *Sobs*. The scene above had me head over heels for Miyo. She is so sweet, earnest and adorable. Her friendship is so precious and I've always wanted to write a fic with her and Bambi because I think they deserve a cute ending together. Her voice is adorable and it's funny to see her interact with Kou and some of the other boys.

Chiyomi Onoda

A girl so precious that I wrote her into one of my fics. Chiyomi is my go-to friend in TMGS2. She's so funny and adorable and her obsession with Hikami-kun is great (I recommend going on an amusement park date with her to see this in action) . She is always the friend I go to every single playthrough. I intentionally raise my intelligence stats just for her.

I also think her hairstyle makes her really endearing? Anyway, a great character through and through.

Karen/Bambi is severely underrated. You see almost nothing for it despite it being so clear in the game itself. Anyway, here’s a couple pictures I drew for Valentine’s Day last year and this year.
