As much as I'm loving Tears of Themis, sometimes it's kinda ridiculous how tiny the mc is in comparison to the LIs. And like, ToT's art is far from alone in this, but it's just sometimes a little weird and not very relatable if the mc feels almost child-sized or at least supremely short and dainty. Or like, when his arm is almost the same thickness as her waist or something.
Just, pls, anime style artists and companies, sure height and size differences are a thing, but do we have to default to this?
The New Year-themed cards in Ayakoi is a "Chinese New Year” kind of vibe. Maybe they’re all in Yokohama for it or whatever.
Even the event is kind of... They suddenly went all xianxia artwork with the scenery pffft...
The one big glaring problem here is that Japanese people doesn’t seem to know that 囍 (the symbol on Tatsu’s lantern) is for weddings in Chinese culture. You don’t put this up for New Year (unless someone is getting married during the New Year season).
In Japan this word is not something that people normally know of or use. It’s just “some Chinese decorative symbol” for a lot of people. I bet the artist just picked this up from the Clip Studio asset store or some other asset pack :’D
finally decided to boot up ayakoi rr and...... it feels so wonky ngl. i was so used to the giant chunks of the story you had to go through and THEN get to the lovers book.. and now apparently you kinda just pick a character and go thru whatever you want so im.. incredibly confused rn lol. and torn bc i rly don't wanna have to reread the entirety of the dawn faction book again rn tbch. do like that it also responds to touch commands, as most of the stuff ive played never rly supports it lol. only ever got to do aoi's lovers book so now im conflicted..... do I just read through the rest of Dawn's while im at it, or do I aim for Twilight faction.. hmm.. cause i've got my eye on quite a few of em 👉👈
forever sad we didn't get dusk faction tho bc my boi nachi (& tatsu?) were there... smh my head
I brought this idea up on discord once upon a time after listening to Kenji Nojima as Mitsuki Akika sing Candy one too many times...It’s hard to find songs that suit some of the characters’ voices (ESPECIALLY for Kagemaru).
Ones that didn’t work out the most imo: Toichiro, Oji, Kagemaru, Aizen
Character songs led me to seiyuu hell which then dragged me into idol and joseimuke hell
7 days from now. One whole year with my very first husbandos.
Tagging Tatsu, Aoi and Kuya because they were my very first favourites when I was new to AyaKoi Then Toichiro, Kagemaru and Aizen... just happened to catch my attention.
part three of the postcard edits! was gonna not have flowers for kage's card cause his logic is that he's the flower ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ but i put it in anyways cause it seemed empty without them. i really love how tatsu's and aki's ones turned out!
If the Ayakoi Staff released a "Taste of Jealousy" for Koga, I can imagine him talking about Tatsumi, how Tatsumi and Futaba are so close to each other since they are childhood friends and Tatsu sees her as his little sister, or maybe he'll mention that he one day found Tatsu gives Futaba a brotherly head pat and that makes the Ogre boy Jealous😋😋😋
And then the moment we've been waiting for will happen Koga's blushing face😀💖
