I read Taro's main story, and WOWIE... HE FOUGHT TIGERS. He survived poison meant to kill a tiger. He's a himbo, and he can paint!!

I want to keep him in a glass jar and protect him.

Why does Voltage have to ignore such loveable men?

[sterkeyra]

Whoaaa thank you so much!! He looks gorgeous!! Sorry for dragging you directly out of your comfort zone with the first request, but i like what you did with it 😆

Also i'm amazed how you managed to use the color palette of Tokyo Love Hustle! I directly recognized the artstyle 🤭 His hair shines gorgeously! Also omg he would be one hell of a colleague next to Kaga!

Would have been a funny dynamic because Harushige is like a mum and takes care of everyones wellbeing. But i bet he gets wild if his colleagues/family are threatened 👀 i'm still hoping we eventually get his route, because I liked him even more after reading Taros and Suzumus routes. He hides a lot✨

And omg you did both!! The shiny sparkly kabedon is a whole new level of Honeytrap threat 😆 Thank you!!!

Heyho Neeron, happy new year to you :D I hope the year will have a lot of good and fun stuff in store for us! About the art request thingy to get you back into shape - only if it's okay of course - I would be interested in Harushige Chikuma (Tokyo Love Hustle) in the instructors uniform of HLITF or MPD since we know he was an ex-cop before. It would be cool if he could hold someone at gunpoint or possibly against a wall 😂 Thank you for offering 🤭 It's also fine to turn it down since we don't know him much yet, it's just something that came to me on the spot haha

Happy New Year to you!!!!! 🥰���️ I wish many good things will happen to you in all aspects of your life!

Thank you for the request! I tried making him in the HLITF uniform as I’m more used to it. I hope you’ll like it!

I really suck at drawing guns, so his pose looks very weird, I won’t lie 🤣 It was very good practice though, thank you thank you~

I made sure he did a kabedon to MC-chan 🫣

I really know nothing about Tokyo Love Hustle but he was the one that caught my eye the most with his design back then. He’s really so handsome 😩

A summary to the family relationships in Voltage Inc stories

I once posted about how the MCs from Voltage Inc are mostly mentally healthy girls from complete families, with both parents being more than adequate and usually with siblings. The statistics for the games I am writing for are like this:

Her Love in the Force: Two alive parents that are good at parenting and an alive sibling good at "siblinging"

Irresistible Mistakes: Two alive parents that are good at parenting and an alive sibling that briefly mentioned

Oops! I Said Yes?!: Two alive parents that are adequate at parenting

Plust: Love U So True: Two alive parents that seem to be good at parenting

Romance MD: Always on Call: ... She is the one whose family status can be compared to the LIs

Tokyo Love Hustle: I don't remember, but I'm not sure both her parents are alive

So, out of 7 MCs, only one and a half (if anyone remembers TLH's MC's backstory, tell me what's up with her) have a tragic backstory regarding their families, which makes up around 80% of MCs with no family trauma. If we take more MCs, then it probably is 85%. Now, let's see how we are with the boys. (I don't remember or know all their stories, so correct me if I wrote something wrong).

Alive parents with alive siblings (if they have any): Seiji Goto, Toshiaki Kijima, Toma Kiriya, Natsume Asaoka, Kuranosuke Kiba, Shu Hasunuma, Munechika Takado

Alive parents with dead siblings: Shusuke Soma

Alive parents with dead siblings and questionable love for them: Eiji Takao, Tetsuya Hosho, Sentaro Kyogoku

Alive parents with questionable love for their children: Yukihisa Maki, Shunichiro Tachibana, Ukyo Senkawa, Kunihiro Kasai, Sui Claude Saigu, Mikoto Amamitsu, Kaede Ekuni

Another fatherless child with his dad away: Hyogo Kaga (he can fall in the previous category too), Taku Hayama

Adopted orphan: Ayumu Shinonome, Rei Kamiki, Keita Mitsuura, Go Okubo, Daimon Togo, Toshiki Kasumi, Suzumu Mado

Adopted orphan with dead siblings: Takaomi Tsugaru

Adopted orphan with dead siblings and questionable relationship with the parents whose at least one adopted parent died: Hideki Ishigami

Not adopted orphan: Jun Araki, Taro Akuchi

Characters about whom I don't remember/know anything (please, tell me in the comments what's up with them): Jin Namba, Toru Kurosawa, Eiichi Matsunaga

Status unknown (please, tell me if you know anything): Ryoga Buto

So, here we have 35 characters. The ones about whom I don't know anything don't fall into the first category, from what I remember. And even if we put the last one in the first category, we still have a rate of 23% with no family trauma. By games, it looks like this:

Her Love in the Force: No trauma = 12,5% (1/8)

Irresistible Mistakes: No trauma = 30% (3/10)

Oops! I Said Yes?!: No trauma = 33,3% (2/6)

Plust: Loving U So True: No trauma = 66,6% (2/3)

Romance MD: Always on Call: No trauma = 16,6% (1/6)

Tokyo Love Hustle: No trauma = 0% (0/2)

Besides the fact that we don't have information about Ryoga yet, these are still not accurate because Kuranosuke theoretically falls into the "No family trauma" category, even if this man has trauma regarding his family and his entire personality can be explained by his family's behavior towards him. 

Even the story with the "happiest" families (Plust with 66,6%) isn't close to MCs' 80%. 

I want MCs with traumas who went through something and overcame it. And if Voltage Inc likes to make it hard from the beginning, using their families, then there it be. I don't want men characters who went through hell and back to come to MC so that she could fix them. I want MC to have her struggles that don't involve her man. Women's lives don't revolve around their men. They can have struggles outside their relationship. 

Don't get me wrong, I understand that it is important to support your partner and everything. I like how the LIs have character development. But if you look at these games, MCs' lives seem so good and careless before meeting their SO. Their problems begin after men appear in their lives. They go through problems that aren't as serious as their partners, while the men save the day and are named heroes. 

The family thing is only ONE aspect of the traumas that Voltage gives to MEN in their stories. There are so many struggles that a woman can go through: toxic exes, physically present but morally absent parents (especially fathers), high expectations, double standards, and sexual harassment. 

I have had a pretty normal life compared to Voltage Inc men's. But I still can't identify myself with the MCs in here. I'm only 21, and I have seen more sh*t than the MC from "Her Love in the Force" when she entered the Academy. It makes me uncomfortable when I play for a plant from a greenhouse whose strongest personality trait at 23+ is naivety. 

I want to live in a world with parents that love me nonetheless, there's no depression, sexual harassment, toxic relationships, messy breakups, divorces, bad relationships with siblings, mental illnesses, double standards, or high expectations. But it's not possible right now, and I want to see problems depicted in fiction to know that I am not alone. 

I want to see a LI who goes out of his way to help MC with her problems, at least sometimes. I don't live on this earth to save men from themselves. I also want to have support to overcome my problems.

Kotoha would like to have a word about his long lost twin Suzumu!

Like come on pink and purple, similar hair style how are they not brothers! Even their hair twirl is opposite to each other!

Seriously though, I am pouting just like Kotoha that they put Tokyo Love Hustle on hiatus xD I'm looking forward to Kotohas and Watarus stories but afterwards pleaaase Voltage continue with our TLH weirdos! Taros Part 2 and all the other characters stories are still dearly missing.

I LOVE TARO! i love how exaggerated they made his strength lmao he’s just out here fighting tigers

and i want the second part SO BAD!! the “i like you but don’t realize i like you” trope is my FAVORITE, like the pining, the angst, amazing

i’m gonna eat his second story UP i can tell already

[carefreeloner]

The progression of their relationship was really nice!! It felt right and the growing romance is adorable! Both didn’t realize they need each other and their strengths allowed the other to feel reassured and safe.

I honestly cannot wait for part 2.

[cyncallenreese]

Random Voltage Headcanon #43 (Suggestive)

"I finally understood why you always wear oversized clothes," he said in between kisses, with a grin on his face, while one of his hands finally got rid of the last piece of clothe on MC's body.

The woman stopped kissing him and tried to cover her body, while hoping that the light was dim enough not to see the redness of her face. But before she could do it, her boyfriend continued: "You're drop dead gorgeous," another kiss and another thought in MC's head.

Is he jealous that other men could see me?

Nope. Once again she was wrong.

"You're just too beautiful for this world. No human being has ever deserved to see this level of beauty."

Him: Hikari Fudo, Jin Namba, Hideki Ishigami, Shusuke Soma, Yukihisa Maki, Toma Kiriya, Ukyo Senkawa, Kuranosuke Kiba, Mikoto Amamitsu, Ryoga Buto, Toshiki Kasumi, Munechika Takado, Sentaro Kyogoku, Taro Akuchi

[sterkeyra]

Sometimes I can't help but think this might be one of MCs thoughts when looking at Taro xD

Too tempting

[hellocupie]

[voltage-vixen]

I love the MC in this title 🤣

What do you say to a date with me?
