[tachiharastanacc]

“Traitor! I’ll never forgive you for this!”

He could hardly believe that he was the one speaking the words, spitting them at the people he considered some of his closest friends. The man he considered a kind of father.

It was him that should be screamed at. That should be cursed out. He was in no place to accuse anyone of anything.

And yet.

“I trusted you! How could you do this to me?!”

The traitorous old bastard in question didn’t move, staring at him with a pitied gaze.

“Michizou-“

“Don’t fucking talk to me!”

“Can we wrap this up? I have an appointment to annoy Kunikida after this, and I can’t miss it.”

And then there was the damn detective. A far cry from the Port Mafia executive that he used to hear reports about, the obnoxious fucker had walked up behind him and cheerily cuffed their hands together.

If Tachihara hadn’t grown up around Jouno, he might’ve been impressed.

“Tachihara, it’s not that we want to hurt you or anything…”

Higuchi, in her ever-sensitive state was standing behind Hirotsu, holding onto the arm of a mildly annoyed Akutagawa. At least, that was how he wanted to come off.

Tachihara could practically smell the disappointment coming off him in waves.

“No. You just wanna get rid of me! This is revenge for betraying you!”

He considered lunging at them, but he doubted they’d fall for the bluff. And at the end of the day, he knew he wouldn’t actually hurt them.

Plus, he was dragging around about 67kg of dead weight.

“We don’t want to get rid of you. You know that.”

Hirtosu continued speaking in that same antagonizing tone of voice. As if Tachihara were some cornered animal he were trying to soothe. Or worse, a child throwing a temper tantrum.

“Do I?! Cuz you’re the ones who fucking ambushed me!”

It was supposed to be a simple picnic. That was all he wanted. The only request he’d made.

‘Before I die, I wanna do something. As a family.’

It’d been an embarrassing thought. And even more embarrassing to say. But after everything that had happened, spending his last two days with the them seemed like bliss.

“Tachihara.”

Gin’s voice was soft as always. Gentle in ways that the others couldn’t even fathom being. He’d refused to look at her, and he wasn’t planning on starting now. She of all people should know how he felt.

It was her that he’d told first.

‘Yeah. The Hunting Dogs are fucked like that. But hey, I wouldn’t trade this for the world. I’d rather die in a couple days than spend a life away from all of you.’

Gin hadn’t said anything at first. Just quietly ran her fingers through his hair as he talked.

The next day, the boss called him up.

He’d essentially taken one glance at the shadowed corner of his office and vehemently declared it was Tachihara’s choice and he wasn’t going to get involved.

Tachihara, meanwhile, had made his position very clear when he’d pulled a sword on his own commander.

And yet.

“Fool. To think you’d throw away your future for a bunch of lowlives.”

Tachihara gracefully didn’t mention the fact that Akutagawa had done the same thing for a man he claimed to hate not even a month prior.

“You’re one to fucking say shit! You spent years pining after praise from a man who tries to kill himself every other day.”

He turned to the bandaged man essentially holding hands with him.

“No offense.”

“None taken! Though, if you wanted to commit a double suicide, all you had to do was ask~”

“Is that some kinda joke to you?! My brother killed himself ya know! It’s not fucking funny!”

He paused.

“And I ain’t suicidal either!”

“Maybe not, but you don’t really value your own life~”

“Keep talking to me like that and I’ll grant your last wish and end you myself!”

“Enough. Both of you.”

Hirtosu, as always, was the voice of reason.

It was frustrating though, having the old man treat them like squabbling children. Even if they were. In a way.

And even if Dazai was right. In a way.

“It’s not…that I dislike bein’ alive or something. I just…”

He was a hunting dog. He’d been trained to always fight for justice. He was a weapon to be wielded. A soldier to be ordered around. A dog sent to catch its prey, no matter the cost of the hunt.

That was who he was. Who he was designed to be.

That was why he had tried to slit his throat without hesitation, if it meant not being turned against the world.

“Tachihara…”

Higuchi was still behind the others, but she took a step forward as she spoke. Her eyes were wet with unshed tears. Great.

“Nee-san, I didn’t mean…”

Curse the damn detective. No wonder Chuuya couldn’t stand him.

Thought to be honest, his instincts as a spy told him otherwise.

“That’s not the damn point! The point is that you ignored what I wanted! You lied to me and said we could spend today together! Why is that so hard to understand?! That I wanna spend the day with the…with the only family I got left.”

Higuchi turned away from him, but he could hear the sob she muffled behind her hand. Even Hirtosu, usually so calm, so stoic was looking at him with something akin to-

“Don’t ya dare pity me, gramps! I don’t need that! Not from you!”

If nothing else, he didn’t bother denying it. Tachihara had already seen the glint in his eyes. If he didn’t know better, he’d think he was about to start crying.

But he’d known the man for years. It wouldn’t make sense. Not for him.

The pity hurt. The fact that they didn’t see this as betraying him. They saw this as saving him. And it may have been the only way to save his life, but…

Images flashed through his mind.

A cheery young girl bragging about her latest successful torture method. One who, despite her constant joy derived from tormenting him, was always by his side. One who he viewed as a little sister.

A master of the blade whose accomplishments were only slightly less impressive than the food combinations he ate on a daily basis. A stoic pillar of support for the others.

A man who teased him, but was always the first to support him. Who could break the toughest of men and then come back and treat him just like a little brother.

The one who’d raised them. Who’d turned them into what they were.

The mafia was his family, but so were they.

And without them…

“I’m not goin’ back! You can’t make me!”

That wasn’t a threat or a challenge or anything. It was just true. Even they couldn’t manage to drag him all the way back to a top-secret military base. Not without abilities. Which they wouldn’t be able to use while Dazai was touching him.

And they all knew that the second he let go, Tachihara would be off like one of his bullets.

“That’s where you’re wrong, I’m afraid.”

That voice was one he’d only heard a few times. They’d never been particularly close. More of a distant, mutual respect for one another.

Which made sense, with the two of them being the only successful spies that infiltrated the mafia and survived.

“What? So you’re in on this too?! I guess that’s not shocking, considering your track record,” Tachihara spat.

The black-haired man stepped forward, adjusting his circular glasses.

“That’s enough. It’s time to go home.”

Agent Sakaguchi’s expression was schooled, neutral. Near unreadable, if not for Michizou’s prior knowledge of the man’s training and history.

Despite the faint regret, Tachihara knew better than to reason with him. While the Black Lizard only wanted to help him, Sakaguchi was just doing his job. There was nothing to be said that would persuade him.

“I thought this was my home.”

“The mafia isn’t a home.”

Though his words were harsh, the teenager knew that he was convincing himself more than anyone else. He may have had no loyalty to the Port Mafia anymore, but everyone with connections to his division knew that he took the same day off every year and came back smelling of whisky, curry, and flowers.

It wasn’t hard for a trained spy to connect the dots. Or even an untrained spy, if gossips were to be believed.

Tachihara understood though. He too wished things could’ve been different. But unlike Ango, he really believed he’d found his place.

Dazai threw his arms around him just as the man snapped his fingers. Though his reflexes were far beyond average thanks to the surgeries, even if his were lighter, the exhaustion of his body shutting down and being pushed passed its deadline slowed him down considerably.

He barely had time to react before he felt a sharp prick in his neck.

“Heyyyy Ango~! Do you think this stuff would kill me if I got injected with it?”

The parking lot was spinning, but the excitement in the detective’s voice was loud and clear.

“Absolutely, so don’t even try it. The Hunting Dogs are resistant to most poisons and drugs, so we need an extra strong dose. That’s enough to kill 30 men.”

“Aw, and you didn’t save any for me?”

Jeez, he didn’t have to sound so damn disappointed.

From beyond the haze of blacks and grays, Higuchi’s blonde head approached him.

Tachihara swayed a bit on his feet, allowing the deceptively-strong twig of a man still clinging to him to support his weight fully.

“Nee-san…”

He felt like he was speaking underwater. His limbs felt like jelly.

He’d had surgery over 70 times. He’d been under anesthesia a lot. But this was different. This felt like the world itself was fighting against him, trying to drag him down to hell with the rest of his missing unit.

“Shhh, I’m here. It’s okay. You’re okay.”

He closed his eyes, nodding slowly as cold hands came to rest upon his cheeks. “You’re not alone. We’re all here with you.”

He was faintly aware of the heavy hand on his shoulder. The stench of cigarettes easily overwhelmed him.

Gross.

“Hey…you should really…take better care of your lungs. You’re already…practically…a fossil.”

He yawned. He was so, so tired all of a sudden.

The old man in question gave him a sad chuckle before patting his head affectionately.

Tachihara may have been a mafioso, but he never was a fan of Gramps smoking. If nothing else, the lecture Jouno would give him when he came back to the base smelling of nicotine was bad enough.

Still, he allowed them to wrap around him.

He couldn’t quite remember why they were so worried, but he knew they were upset.

“Why…ya sound so…sad?”

“Shut up,” Akutagawa’s voice echoed over the ringing in his ears.

Tachihara Michizou was never one to refuse a direct order.

Except…

Ah, it was all too hazy.

“Think ‘m…gonna sleep…now…”

Words continued to be said, but he didn’t process any of them. Even Gin’s soft voice, whispering in his ear.

“I…ve…ou.”

—

Hirtosu didn’t know how long he’d been standing there.

His cigarette tasted bitter in his mouth. The sounds of the engines and Higuchi’s wails had all but faded now.

“It’s a shame.”

He had nothing to say beyond that. It wasn’t that he didn’t care. Far from it. It was just that despite his enjoyment of reminiscing, he didn’t want to think about this any more than he had already.

Perhaps once he, Chuuya, and Kajii were all a few beers deep.

The elderly mafioso took another drag of his cigarette.

“I wonder if I’ve made a mistake.”

It wasn’t a question he wanted to reflect on particularly. But his audience wouldn’t show itself until he invited conversation.

“You already know where I stand.”

The executive didn’t bother emerging from the shadows. He didn’t have to. The fact that he’d left his office was tell enough that he was invested.

“…I couldn’t let him die.”

“That doesn’t mean you let him live.”

“I know.”

Another breath. Another cloud of smoke.

“This isn’t over. Things won’t end like this.”

Hirtosu didn’t respond for a moment. Then, with a small smile, he spoke.

“You sound like you’re agreeing to help.”

“No. I’m not. However…I’ll see what information I can find. I have resources.”

As one should expect of perhaps the greatest assassin of all time.

“Why? I’d half expected you to wipe your hands of this.”

“I did too. Those soldiers…they may not be like my brother and I. But we’re the same in some ways.”

The man in the shadows smiled softly.

“Someone once saved me, despite how I betrayed him. He’s the reason I’m still here, though he is not. So, I’ll find what information I can.”

The man turned to leave.

“Perhaps one day, I can make up for everything I’ve done. Right, Arthur?”

id like to req a happy and horny itachi !!! HATE SEEING HIM SAD

Anon, I present you… Horny Itachi with this. He happy too. But mainly horny lol

NSFW -Minors do not interact

Warnings: Itachi is y/n’s University Professor (few years age gap, both 22+), afab reader, oral sex (f receiving), vaginal sex, creampie, praise kink, dirty talk, pleasure dom Itachi

Word count: 1k

If it was so wrong, why did it feel so good? It wasn’t as though you’d been explicitly told that fucking your University Professor was wrong, but it was quite a given. He’d helped you with your thesis at the end of your three year English Literature course, and you both hadn’t been able to deny the tension between you two. In every damn meeting, his dark eyes had been roving down your body, intense and utterly beautiful. You, on the other hand, had had a crush on him since the first moment you’d first seen him. He was only a few years older than you, but he was still your Professor. He still taught you as you studied for your Master’s degree, but he taught you other things, too. Like how to cum more times than you’d imagined would be possible. You were in a relationship now, a secret until you graduated, and every chance to see each other quickly turned into him having his head between your legs. The man seemed to love doing it, and he seemed to enjoy how fiercely you had to fight to keep quiet.

You moaned, your hand on your mouth muffling the desperate sounds you were making as his tongue licked your clit and his damned long fingers curled inside you.

‘Doing so well for me’ he murmured, massaging your thighs and ass and blowing cold air on your clit.

‘I-tachi’ you stuttered through your palm, legs quivering.

‘Shhh. You are so loud. Do you want everyone in the building to know I’m fucking you on my desk?’ he asked, and you couldn’t see him from that position, but you just knew he had a smirk on his lips at that comment. And God did it do just what he’d hoped. Your walls tightened around his fingers, and he hummed, sucking on your clit and making your heels push on his back as you came. You bit down on your palm, rocking your hips against his face, riding it.

‘Mhh. Don’t tell me the idea made you come undone. My girl is quite filthy today’ he said, the sound of a zipper catching your ear as you panted. You lifted yourself on your elbows, looking at him, eyes glazed over with pleasure.

‘On my lap. You’d better take it quietly’ he warned, pulling you on his lap. You straddled him, hovering above him, clinging to his shoulders as he pushed his cock against you. You shifted slightly, a shuddering whimper tearing out of you as you felt him slide deeper and deeper, until he was buried to the hilt and you felt him everywhere. He let out a soft groan, pulling on your hair and licking your neck as he gave a jerk of his hips.

‘Perfect. So tight. Always so fucking good for me’ he breathed in your ear, forcibly bouncing you up and down just as you started grinding on him, mewling as quietly as you could at the pounding against your cervix, the melting rubbing against your g-spot and the maddening friction of his pelvis against your clit.

‘Hush, darling. You’re being such a brat. Can you not even follow simple instructions? I told you to take it quietly, and yet, here you are, moaning like my little slut’ he crooned in your ear, almost sounding pleased that he could get you so worked up. And you were. You were trying hard to stay quiet, but every thrust was just too good.

‘Please- Itachi… is so much…’ you moaned, your head against his, needy whimpers escaping you. He turned his head, kissing you harshly, passionately, drowning your sounds with his mouth. You were nearing another orgasm, struggling to breathe or think as he pounded inside you, the slight curvature of his cock hitting your g-spot with every thrust.

‘That’s my good girl. Squirming on my lap. You look so pretty, thoroughly dazed. Can you even think about anything other than my cock?’ he taunted, though you could see through the mind-numbing pleasure that he was also drunk on you. His eyes were bright and molten with lust, his swollen lips parted and his skin flushed of a pale pink. His sounds were mostly sighs of pleasure, barely audible groans and quiet moans, but they were so hot to your ears. So hot that when you clamped around him and he moaned against your ear you could not help but cum around his cock, trembling and clinging onto him for dear life.

‘Fuck… this- this is what I want- day and night. This feeling’ he said, getting rougher as he started moving you as he pleased, slamming into you and covering your mouth as you could not help but moan, your clit throbbing painfully, your eyes rolling to the back of your head.

‘Going to leave you to think of me for the rest of your day’ he breathed, yanking down on your shirt collar and sucking harshly on the curve between your neck and your shoulder.

You moaned incoherently, feeling the sloppy, deep thrusts that signalled he was close. So you ravaged his throat as he’d done with you, hoping he’d be thinking about how he’d fucked you in his office, on his lap, as he went about grading papers and planning lectures.

‘Cheeky’ he hissed, gripping the plump flesh of your ass as he stopped moving, warmth gushing inside you as he came with a soft moan.

You stayed like that for a few minutes, him kissing your face and hair, you clinging to his body as you both adjusted your breathing.

‘I’ll see you tonight’ he said, kissing your lips gently, stroking your hair and adjusting it. You nodded, smiling sheepishly as you lifted yourself off of him and gathered your clothes, trying to look as put together as possible after he had taken you whole.

‘See you tonight’ you said with a shy smile.

Ever Maiden ~Daraku no Sono no Otome-tachi~ Review & Guide

This time I’m reviewing something a little bit different than usual, Liar-soft's horror mystery yuri game, Ever Maiden. It recently got ported to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch, but I decided to play the PC version first. I’m going to avoid mentioning big spoilers, but I will summarize some things that happen in the first chapter!

The plot of the game focuses on the Puellarium, a school isolated from the outside world, protected by a dense fog and a forest of thorns. Many girls who study here have only one goal in mind, to become the ‘Ever Maiden’. What exactly the Ever Maiden is only gets explained later in the game, but it's known that the girl with the highest grades will eventually obtain this title. One day, one of the students find a mysterious girl sleeping in front of the school's gate who doesn’t remember where she came from. This girl is our protagonist, Alouette. Nobody from the outside world is supposed to know the exact location of the school. Who is this mysterious student?

To become a student here, one must possess the 'maiden aptitude', which at first seems to be the power to make flowers grow and bloom. Later in the game you learn that the students can create many other things with this power too and not just flowers (for example mannequins, clothes and even mechanical tools). The Puellarium is a very strict place and students can only create things that are within the school’s guidelines. Whenever something is created that doesn’t belong there, they don’t get punished but it needs to be destroyed immediately. There's also many other rules, like not touching each other, not going outside at night etc.

Alouette quickly gets used to these rules, but her curiousity sometimes causes trouble. After a series of strange dreams she accidentally breaks the curfew and discovers that the Puellarium's appearance changes at night. Crystals are scattered everywhere and the moment she touches them, she starts experiencing strange flashbacks, as if she has been to this school before. At night she also meets a mysterious student who calls herself Olor, who tells her about the school’s mysteries. Soon after Alouette starts going outside at night, she finds out that students can get ‘corrupted’ when their mental health declines. Once this corruption reaches a certain point, they transform and it’s not possible to return to their original form. Whenever this happens, Rook shows up to fight them. During daytime, Rook always pretends that anything that happens at night is just a dream, but Alouette knows the truth already. Corrupted students who they defeated are always found dead the next day. Other mysterious incidents also occur, like students suddenly losing their memories and strange shared dreams. Throughout the story, the main characters slowly discover the mysteries of the Puellarium.

This game is almost entirely linear and you only get some choices near the very end of the game. Occasionally, you’ll be able to select locations on a map, but the selected order doesn’t matter and you can access the next scene by visiting all locations. The pairings are also pre-determined, similar to the BL visual novel Uuultra C which I’ve also reviewed here. The only difference is that each pairing doesn’t have their own route, but most of them do have their own chapter in the main story. For example, after the introduction the first chapter mainly focuses on Macaw and Pavone, after that you learn about Robin and Canary and finally, Alouette and Rook. It's also possible for Alouette to end up with Averla if you pick the alternative ending, although it feels more like a ‘bad’ ending.��

I couldn't really find a guide, but it was not difficult to obtain the endings because there’s only a few of them. You can see the choices/endings below, though beware of some vague spoilers!

Guide/choices Choice 1: 彼女のために死ねるか否か (Die for her or don't) 頷く Nod > Averla ending 首を横に振る Shake your head > Continues Rook's ending

Choice 2: 最期の一言は (Your last words) あなたを愛している I love you > Bad end 私は死んでいない I'm not dead yet > Continues Rook's ending

After that you can explore the locations on the map, but you only get a few turns. Make sure to visit the prayer hall (礼讚祈堂) first, which is where you'll find the next choice.

Choice 3: どこを調べるべきか (Where should I investigate?) アドラーを調べる Examine Adler > Continues Rook's ending.

After that visit the sitting room (座学室) to unlock the prayer hall basement (礼讚祈堂地下). Make sure that you don't visit the clock tower (時計塔) without doing all of these things first, or you'll get a bad end. Running out of turns also gives you a bad ending because it forces you to go to the clock tower.

Impressions I was surprised to see the whole game was just one linear story, but I thought it was a super interesting experience. This is actually the first yuri/girl’s love visual novel I’ve played, until now I never saw many people talk about them. This game’s only available in Japanese right now, but it also showed up in MangaGamer’s licensing survey (16th place), so I’m hoping it will get an English translation some day! I’m also a big fan of horror and tragic stories, so I really wanted to try it. Most of the romance in this game is a bit tragic because touching each other is not something the school allows, but the game does have a good ending, so don’t worry if tragic stories aren’t your thing. Ever Maiden is also advertised as a horror game, but I think it’s not necessarily a ‘scary’ game, it just gives you a feeling of uneasiness. At all times I felt like something was not right and that the school was hiding a big secret.

Every character is really unique and and they all have their own interesting personality. I personally liked the relationship between Robin and Canary. Robin spends a lot of her time in the library, so she knows quite some secrets about the school and wishes to escape some day. Canary seems like the type who obeys all the rules and is even instructed to tell Alouette of all of the school’s rules, but I really liked that she didn’t care about the rules if it meant helping Robin. By the way, I think it’s interesting that all of the characters are named after birds, maybe because they’re all like birds trapped in a cage (the school).

The art is something I can’t forget to mention either. The main artist is Ooishi Ryuuko, who's well known for some other visual novels like Shingakkou. Similar to Shingakkou, I think the art is very expressive and perfectly suits the theme of the game. The characters all wear the same school uniform, yet the colors and designs still make them look very unique. The flower motifs can also be found everywhere in the game, for example the main menu screen, the text box, background, clothes, CGs.... and so on. I also found it really interesting that whenever one of the characters was corrupted by the ‘evil’ seeds and transformed, they were usually surrounded by the flowers them or their partner loved the most. I think there’s a lot of symbolism I still have to look into, but for now I’m just going to look at the CGs once more and enjoy the art!

I do wish the ending was a little bit longer, because it mostly focuses on Rook and Alouette. It does answer all of the big questions, but I really want to learn more about the outside world... At some point most characters mentioned their hometown and family-dynamic and I just really want to know more...! The music is also really good, though there’s only a few tracks. I think some more variety would have been good, but that’s just a minor complaint.

Bungou Stray Dogs ✦ Normal AU

・┆✦ʚ♡ɞ✦ ┆・

⚕ These HCs might not even make sense. EW.

( •̯́ ^ •̯̀) I'm sorry that some of them are super-duper random / confusing.

𓆩♡𓆪 Advice / compliments / comments are appreciated!

₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

↪ Although I personally love the headcanon of Atsushi and Ryuunosuke being roomates, I feel like the Akutagawa siblings would live together instead (because one of them is an overprotective brat)

↪ Ryuunosuke works in the Port Mafia Studios as a V-Tuber. No one knows of this, except for Gin and the Port Mafia company.

↪ Gin works as a V-Tuber designer for their customisable avatars. Her job is able to grant the two of them a small house near their university.

↪ The siblings go to Yokohama University, the one that most of the cast go to as well.

↪ Atsushi and Kyouka would live together and Kyouka would definitely cook because Atsushi probably has no idea how to / burned the kitchen down before in a pathetic attempt to. Most of the time they just have take-away.

↪ Kyouka loves crepes; every weekend Atsushi takes her to the local crepe café and they get the sweetest things known to humankind. Atsushi always ends up paying, though.

↪ That's also how they met Lucy M. Montgomery, a worker at the café. They find out that Lucy also goes to Kyouka's high school and sometimes, when Atsushi drives Kyouka to school, he picks up Lucy too.

↪ Lucy lives in a small house with Louisa and Poe. They both have important jobs working in the Fitzgerald Policy Bank, which is how they have so much money. However, Lucy wants to be more independent so she also has a job at a café to help pay off the bill as well.

↪ Poe mainly spends most of his time at home, all holed-up in his room, writing horror stories and mystery fanfiction. One time, Ranpo asked him to write a romance story and it actually blew up.

↪ Kouyou owns a small flower shop. Her adoptive son, Chuuya, sometimes helps out when he has time. Dazai, one of Chuuya's school-mates, one which he doesn't particularly like, once came into the shop looking rather lost. Chuuya had helped the brunette find a fitting bouquet of flowers, and they didn't speak of the incidence since.

↪ Kouyou worked at a preschool a long while ago, which is when she had met Kyouka. Other people that went to the preschool include Kenji, Kyouka, Elise, Q and Karma.

↪ Chuuya wants to be an actor and is in the same university as Dazai.

↪ Ango works in the Government and rarely goes home at all, being the workaholic he is, so usually his work college, Mizuki Tsujimura, has to take care of him.

↪ Oda used to own a bookstore called The Flawless Bookshop and had met Poe and Kunikida before through his occupation. They were regular customers who sometimes stopped by to chat with Oda. Now that Oda has passed away, Dazai manages the bookshop whenever he can.

↪ Kunikida would definitely be a maths teacher at a private school who specialises in algebra. He lives alone and his house is probably very organised and tidy.

↪ I feel like Dazai would be his very annoying neighbour that Kunikida tries to avoid at all costs (but obviously fails in).

↪ Dazai majors in Business Studies as well as Economics.

↪ Kenji helps out in An Encouragement of Learning by keeping everyone cheerful and marking the scores. Fukuzawa shows his appreciation by giving the boy glasses of milk whenever he drops by.

↪ Kenji actually lives with Chuuya and Kouyou and helps out with the flower shop whenever possible. Both Chuuya and Kouyou absolutely adore and treasure the blonde.

↪ Tachihara is a famous V-Tuber working under the company Port Mafia Studios. He lives with Higuchi and they go to the same university (Yokohama University).

↪ Usually, they bicker a lot. Tachihara and Higuchi had both had a slight, small (very insignificant) crush on Gin and strangely, they actually bonded over that.

↪ Higuchi likes eating Sakura Mochi and Cherry Blossom Dumplings. They, like Atsushi and Kyoka, go to the local crepe café to get the snacks. Tachihara and Higuchi split the payment are share the food.

↪ Several people have mistaken the pair as a couple, much to their amusement. Tachihara likes to jokingly flirt with Higuchi, and Higuchi likes to shoot pick up lines at the other. However, their relationship is purely platonic.

↪ Kajii is a lab scientist. He's basically the BSD Dottore equivalent. He locks himself in his lab all day to work on his projects and incoming reports. No one really knows much about him, except that he likes to talk really loudly and in complete, utter nonsense. He comes out of his lab-cave at night only to get a hot bowl of Chazuke.

↪ Paul and Arthur live together and both work under Port Mafia Studios. However, Arthur works in the economic part of the company and Paul works in the business part, like a spokesperson / ambassador (public speaking). They play chess on weekends and sometimes volunteer in the schools / community whenever they can.

↪ I don't know why, but I think Yosano would live with Ranpo and Fukuzawa and would be currently studying / getting a doctor degree.

↪ Ranpo and Yosano are seen as a sibling duo to their neighbours!

↪ Fukuzawa works in his office room all day, organising his small business on tutoring (An Encouragement of Learning). Ranpo likes to assist whenever he can by getting small treats for him.

↪ Mori owns the company Port Mafia Studios. He spends lots of money on people who design the avatars. Elise even gets her own avatar because she thought they looked really cool.

↪ Hirotsu works in the Port Mafia Studios, doing most of the paperwork and managing the connections. He thinks it's quite a boring job, but it's nice to see different recruits and get to know them.

↪ Higuchi is almost like a privately hired scout for Port Mafia Studios. She finds people that fit into the requirement for V-Tubers.

↪ The Tanizaki siblings live in the same apartment complex as Fukuzawa, Ranpo and Yosano. Naomi works at the same café as Lucy and I have a feeling Junichirou would work in The Flawless Bookshop. Junichiro also works part-time in a tutoring company called An Encouragement of Learning.

↪ They enjoy going to the local park often together. Sometimes when the evening is warm, the siblings get ice cream together. Naomi's favourite flavour is strawberry or taro and Junichirou likes vanilla or mango best. Sometimes, they even see Kenji, Kyouka, Elise, Q and Karma in the playground and wave to the little group as they pass.

↪ Fyodor, Sigma, Nikolai, Bram and Mushitarou live together. I really like the idea of combining the two groups together and how singularly, their energy is kind of muted, which together, they would all be a chaotic mess.

↪ They all share one house. Their neighbours often file complaints about how much yelling would come from the house on Saturday evenings, when the five would play card games / poker. The complaints got so bad that Kenji had to literally knock onto their door (only to get a goofy clown in his face).

↪ The Hunting Dogs minus Fukuchi and Tachihara (aka Teruko, Jouno and Tecchou) reside on the university campus. They love practicing Martial Arts in their backyard and sometimes they help out with the community. Other times, they go along their street with hand-baked cookies and offering a packet to each household.

↪ Jouno and Tecchou cannot cook nor bake. Teruko enjoys being able to feel helpful and also able teach them something new, as she takes Food Tech and Studies, as well as Maths.

↪ Jouno and Tecchou both take English, although I feel like Jouno would take Geography as well and Tecchou would take History, too.

↪ Aya Koda and Bram randomly met at the local park one fateful evening. It was a rather comical first-impression; Bram was swinging on a kids' playground swing and Aya and Q wanted to go on. The two had an intense staring match with a lot of yelling and Q screaming in the background.

↪ Now, Aya and Bram go to arcades on weekends. Q sometimes tags along with them and they spend all of Fyodor's bank credits on plushies and the like.

↪ There isn't much known about Shibusawa either, like Kajii. The man usually just stays in a university dorm on campus, but he studies Fashion Design Tech and is really good at it, especially the designing part of the criteria.

↪ Dazai claims to see Shibusawa and Fyodor at an ice rink together once. He reckons they were professional skaters and told everyone who would listen that he joined them. Nothing is really known about that recount.
