[asbestieos]

looks at you. hi. spare mayoi lore thoughts

GEHEJSHDJFBJ HII.. OK LET ME JUST PREFACE i have yet to read ch 5 mainstory + most of the stories out in !! currently so there may be preexisting evidence that totally contradicts my scuffed theory, n most of this is my imagination i thinks. but umm

you know how Kanata was revered as a god? im of the belief that Mayoi was like that, but directly opposite, with he and his family considered descendants of evil by the Yaobikuni cult

[ ID: Three screenshots of dialogue from Main Story Chapter 2: Troublemakers, Episode 28: Seniors. Mayoi: Even so, it must be uncomfortable for others to be around people like me, so I chose to live in as secluded a place as possible. Tatsumi: Haha. You talk like you are not a human being yourself. Mayoi: Oh...I'm sorry, but I've spent a lot of time not being treated like a human being. I can't help but think that I'm different from the rest of the world. End ID ]

Mayoi has nonexistent self-esteem, and he reveals that he wasn't treated as human for a good portion of his life. it's clear he was super fecking neglected and abused as a kid and made to feel subhuman, but he speaks as if he is / was meant to play that role. he thinks of himself as an evil and wretched thing who will never change and who should disappear from the world. it's almost like he was purposely raised to be a scapegoat... perhaps an embodiment of evil...

[ ID: Two screenshots of dialogue from Motor Show, Snail’s Pace / Episode 5. Kanata: Hmm~ ... Somehow, I can sense a nostalgic "smell" on him. Mayoi: Ehh? Oh, sorry for disturbing! Please ignore me, gentleman of [the] Five Eccentrics! End ID ]

additionally, it’s established in Motor Show that Kanata has some unconscious familiarity with Mayoi — it could just be that Mayoi was a student of Yumenosaki and was Eccentric-adjacent enough to be noticed by the student body (i mean he's one of the mysteries of Yumenosaki) so maybe his name was thrown around or Kanata had a meeting with him once, but what if they had a deeper connection (o_o ) what if they were connected, not by any meaningful relationship, but rather by a cult making figureheads of them

after all it's not just coincidence that Mayoi has a masterkey to nearly every room in Ensemble Square, right? that the land Ensemble Square was built on was bought from the Yaobikuni cult? that Mayoi has been living on that land for a long time before Ensemble Square was even built?

it makes sense to me because with a majority of mythology, where there's a "god", a force of good, there's usually a "devil", an opposing force of evil. in contrast to the Shinkai family, wish-granting descendants of the god of the Yaobikuni, the Ayase family serves as the embodiment of sin, the perpetrators to blame for any and all misfortune. the sacrifice, if you will, but in a different sense.

this is just a crazy ass theory though, and there are other connections i wanna make that i shrimply cannot bc of Not Reading Stories syndrome </3 if he is connected to the Yaobikuni cult, i can't explain why Mama doesn't seem to have relevant knowledge of him outside of being the phantom of Yumenosaki. his fear of the Sakumas is interesting to me though, and i'd love to look into his 2nd Featured Scout's story if i can find a translation (esp knowing that it involves Madara (O_O ))

so um. yes. thats why Mayoi is the devil! hope you liked the read!

[starswallowingsea]

this might be sooo late already but im here to ask for any enstars story recs... Go off if you'd like 🛐 thank you user starswallowingsea

OH i feel you on that anon I try to keep up with all the event stories as they release in engstars so i can really get a feel for all the units and that's kinda how i ended up falling in love with some of the characters I wasn't expecting to ehehe. And since my favorite unit is exclusive to the !! era, I kinda just poke around ! era for what seems interesting. I'll throw some recs under the cut though for both eras!

! Era

Steampunk Museum: Focuses on 2wink and Valkyrie and is where the line where Shu says he can tell the twins apart by their hair length comes from! It's just about the two units doing a live to help out with a museum that has undergone renovations and is doing a grand re-opening basically. It's cute and light and really sweet.

Duel: Trickstar v Knights ROUND 2 I think this was a continuation of Sakura Fes which was the first event and I have not read it but it was still pretty easy to understand either way. It is from like 2015 though so fair warning for canon typical transphobia towards Arashi. Another pretty light event.

Kabukimono: Akatsuki v 2wink! Mostly a focus on Akatsuki's developments post-war but there were some really cute moments for Shu and Kuro's relationship as well, and some brief moments with 2wink, as well as Yuta and Souma interactions.

Aquarium: I so wish I read this before Meteor Impact. It does come after MI chronologically but it does a good job of like. Laying down all of Kanata's problems and relationships. If you haven't read MI yet, read this first it will make a lot of sense I promise.

Obligatory Reminiscense stories here. They're all good I haven't read all of them yet but I have read Meteor Impact and Checkmate and it's made me wish I waited to read them for the first time. Spend some time with the units before reading these is my advice.

!! Era

Okay full disclosure, I've only read the events and scout stories that have been released in Eng (and even then, only the scouts they did the auto unlock for the stories + like. Honey Bee and parts of Vagabond and Tales of the Moon) and Crazy:B events so this list is gonna be a little less diverse.

Any Crazy:B story: Literally my favorite unit of all time I cannot even tell you. My suggested reading order is like. Spider -> Hot Limit -> Night Club -> Ariadne -> Obbligato. The only one I haven't read is Sudden Death and that's only because I am Trying to Be Patient and wait for it to come out in Eng <- suffering greatly. Lumping them together so this part doesn't become Crazy:B infodump

Conquest: Hiyori's song event. The song is fantastic and the event did a good job introducing their dynamics in this era imo. Drop a like if you want Ibara to swear more often.

Twin Peaks: 2wink event! If you liked Night Club you should definitely read this since it expounds on a lot of stuff touched upon in Night Club (I really like Night Club can you tell). All about Hinata coming to terms with actually starting to grow apart from Yuta and become his own person along with one last hurrah as identical twins.

A Dark Night's Passing: Double Face introduction! Although DF stories tend to put a lot of focus on Madara, I did still enjoy this event for them. They both have people they want to protect and keep their darker sides away from and really set up some potentially good dynamics. I haven't heard that Spring Evening's Respite (Kohaku's center for DF) was great for them, since it continued to focus on Madara, but their intro event was great and it's pretty timely to read it with their Climax coming out in a few days.

And this will be a scout stories section! The scout stories tend to mix people from different units together for their interactions which is always really fun to watch how those play out. I particularly enjoyed Reloaded which was the Tomoya Izumi feature with the "Zombie Apocalypse" happening while they were handcuffed together. It's very silly but also has a really good Izumi Senior Advice moment at the end. Also shout out to Honey Bee and ASOBI-- *I am forcibly removed from the post*

Niki is haunting me since Mayoi's banner. This can be seen with my scout results :

1st ten pull : 3 Sanrio Niki, 1 Sanrio Hiiro and 2 Sanrio Kohaku.

2nd ten pull : 1 Sanrio Niki, 1 Hiyori and 1 Madara

3rd ten pull : 1 Madara, 1 Kanata and 1 Sanrio Hiiro

4th ten pull : 1 Arashi, 1 Sanrio Niki, 1 Sanrio Hiiro and 2 Sanrio Kohaku

5th ten pull : 1 Sanrio Niki, 1 Bee Niki and 1 Sanrio Hiiro

Niki also started showing up on my Pinterest after the banner ended.

Izumi started getting more chatty after I changed his fairy outfit to his casual outfit. I can't check my daily missions without hearing one of his lines.

As for Ritsu I still haven't managed to get his 5 stars. I'm starting to think Knights and/or the other idols have locked him away somewhere because they know he's my favorite (he's the only one whose cards I upgrade even if they're 3 or 2 stars or I'm seriously doing the idol quests to get the society outfit)

- oya anon

Wahhh Niki must have been *very* eager to greet you so he came home a bunch of times! Izumi naturally must have felt threatened and decided to let up on his tsundere act a bit and started talking to you as often as he can. He´ll have to remind you that he´s still here with you so don´t let your eyes wander anywhere else, alright? He´s not going to forgive you otherwise

Ritsu probably makes it easier for everyone because he´s always so tired and taking naps everywhere. It doesn´t hurt anyone if they let him sleep when he´s featured on a banner, right? <3

[seangelfish]

im taking my time with the current tour event even though i want the madara five star 😭 looking like im going to have to cram the remaining days in one go.

im crazy enough to start saving my dias for kuro's feature scout (i want all 5 copies 😣) that ... only comes next year .... but chiaki & kanata's featured scout is like soon . so im like super torn over it. - struggling kuroP

Tour events are so tedious, so it's best to do them earlier and strategically! I was procrastinating with this tour so I'm grinding a lot today especially since I'm trying to go for both 5* 😖 But I wish you good luck on the tour! Hopefully you get Madara in time!!! 💕

You're definitely not crazy for saving up! I wish I had the patience to save up, but I just LOVE scouting (and I produce both Ryuseitai and Eden, so they all eat up my funds...) OH and you're right!! Chiakana's cards are so soon, I'm actually nervous hahaha those two are my top faves, so I need to get them!!! 😤

I hope you're able to get 5 copies of Kuro next year though! 🤞🏻🍀 I wasn't able to get max copies of Kanata's first featured scout the day his banner was released as I only managed to get 3 and the remaining 2 copies months later.

It is a struggle producing someone with your whole heart...

Aug 10th: Tetora Feature Scout 2 has been released. This scout features 5* Tetora, 4* Hajime and 3* Kanata.

[ryuseipuka]

kanata feature scout 2:  “me”, research — chapter 1

this translation was gifted to me by my dear friend, @greeneyedexecutioner! it's always a joy to work together; thank you for such a wonderful translation! i hope everyone can also enjoy this adorable story below!

Season: Winter

Location: Aoumi Aquarium

Kanata: Hey-ho, hey-ho, cleaning up, cleaning up… … ♪

Souma: Shinkai-dono! The floor of the exhibition ‘eria’ has been completely cleaned. Is there anywhere else you would like me to start cleaning next?

Tetora: Shinkai-senpai, the stairs have been thoroughly swept from top to bottom ♪ I wanna know the location of the next place that requires cleaning too!

Kanata: Both Souma and Tetora are such ‘diligent workers’~

It is all thanks to the help given by the both of you, that I will be able to save greatly on the ‘labor costs’... … ♪

Souma: No, do not mention it. If anything, we would like to express our gratitude to Shinkai-dono for rallying us to your side. I hope that you will continue to request for assistance whenever you have such need, whether it be for cleaning, or for any kind of menial chores.

Tetora: That’s right. I’ve had the privilege of chowing down on so many yummy fish dishes thanks to you; so I wanna repay you by working as hard as I possibly can!

The fish that’s prepared by Shinkai-senpai is always delicious, but even then, the last dish we had really went above and beyond that~

Kanata: Fufu. Whenever I see the both of you enjoying your food with so much excitement, I am really happy too…

There was never a need for ‘thanks’ or anything like that, though. That is why, I feel sorry for having asked you to ‘help out’ so early in the morning, too, you know?

Tetora: No, no. It’s actually real enjoyable to be able to view the fish so leisurely when there’s no one else around~ ♪

Souma: Umu. I hope you will continue to call on me whenever there is a need. I am sure that all the experience accumulated from my time in the Marine Biology Club will definitely be of great service to you ♪

Kanata: Both of you are so~ dependable. Well then, I’ll be taking you up on your generous offer next time… … ♪

For now, as much as I would like to ask for your help in ‘sweeping’ the ‘entrance’—

Are the both of you really fine with having to work here at this hour?

Souma: It is not a problem for me, since all my ‘ressuns’ for today are scheduled in the afternoon.

Tetora: Me too; The work I’ve got today is… … AH!

Speaking of work, there’s something that I’ve been wanting to ask Shinkai-senpai!

Kanata: ? Something that you have been wanting to ask?

Tetora: A little bird told me that Senpai’s going to be performing in a Solo Live. Midori-kun and Shinobu-kun don’t seem to know anything about it though, so I’ve been wondering if what I’ve heard was true.

Kanata: A ‘Solo Live’... …?

Aah~, you must be referring to the ‘Feature Live’.

Souma: “Fui—cha— Raibu”?

Kanata: I have only just heard about it from Anzu-san myself, so I have not had the chance to tell anyone in my ‘unit’ about it yet…

But, it is true; I will be appearing in a ‘Feature Live’.

This ‘Feature Live’ is a ‘live performance’ where ‘idols’ will perform as ‘solo artists’... …

I have also heard something about a photoshoot for a ‘pamphlet’ that will be used during the ‘Live’.

Tetora: Ehhh~ a pamphlet! Have you decided on the kind of photos that you’ll be taking yet?

Kanata: Ur~m. I have not gotten that far yet. It appears that if there is a certain photograph that you want to take, or a special place that you want to go, they will listen to your ‘requests’.

If I could go and ‘puka, puka’ in the ‘sea’, I would like that very much, I am sure… … ♪

Tetora: EHHH! It isn’t a good idea to go swimming in the ocean in the dead of winter right now! Morisawa-senpai has also told you never to go bathing outdoors in the winter; he’s gonna get mad at you if you do, you know~?

Souma: Umu. You will definitely catch a cold in doing so; I would have you refrain from embarking on such a course of action, too!

Kanata: … … Mu~. Well then, I would need the both of you to come up with alternative ideas for my photoshoot, please!

What kind of photos would be suitable to be used in this ‘pamphlet’?

Souma: Photos of Shinkai-dono, correct? U~mu~... …

Tetora: U~myu~... …

Ah~! Shinkai-senpai had that ‘Shuffle Unit’ performance earlier in… …uh, what was that program called again—

Kanata: Are you talking about ‘DJ Classics-kun’? [1]

Tetora: That’s right, that’s the one! Shinkai-senpai’s performance in that program left a really deep impression on me… …

I guess it must be ‘cause I’m so used to seeing you as you usually are in Ryuseitai? That’s why seeing your performance in the ‘Shuffle Unit’ came as such a breath of fresh air to me~ ♪

Souma: Hmmm. I have not had a chance to view that performance myself, but I do look forward to seeing how it differs from Shinkai-dono’s usual appearance… … ♪

Now that I think back on it, when Hasumi-dono participated in his ‘Shyafuru Yunitto’, I did behold a totally different impression from how he usually is in AKATSUKI.

Kanata: That was the one that Midori ‘participated’ in, right? Midori looked so wonderful when he was in that ‘tuxedo’... … ♪

Tetora: He looked really cool, didn’t he~? My heart actually skipped a beat when I saw the expressions on his face that could only arise from actually being there.

Souma: Hasumi-dono’s gentle smile then, so filled with purity and compassion, may also be something which you might never witness while he is on stage as part of AKATSUKI.

Tetora: I’d prefer to see someone the way they usually are, because that’s the side of them that I’m most familiar with, but then…

When it’s actually the same person, and yet not quite the same…, how do I put it? It’s actually kinda nice to see a side of someone that can only be seen outside the unit.

Kanata: Fufu. Well then, that goes for ‘Feature Live’ too, right?

I will be standing ‘solo’ on ‘stage’, and not with everyone in the ‘unit’ after all.

Souma: In other words, we may see a side of Shinkai-dono which is different from the one we usually see in Ryuseitai.

Tetora: Uwaa~ I’m looking forward to it. I’m getting really curious about what kind of stage it’ll end up being, and what kind of song you’re gonna be singing too!

Kanata: Ahaha. Nothing has been decided yet, and I have yet to discuss it with Anzu-san~. I have not managed to come up with anything regarding the matter of the ‘pamphlet’ either.

Souma: Ohh. That is correct; we were supposed to be discussing the ‘panfuretto’, were we not?

Urmmm. Photos of Shinkai-dono, photos of Shinkai-dono… …?

Tetora: U~myu~... …

Kanata: I am sorry to have vexed the both of you so much, over something that is solely about me.

I do think it would make the ‘fans’ happy to see a different side of me in the “pamphlet’... …

I am going to try to come up with my own ideas, using what we have discussed together as a ‘reference’.

Tetora: Roger that! We’ll also be cheering you on from the sidelines… …!

Well then. We’ll be off to clean up the entrance now—

Souma: We will beautify the place so that all the visitors will be greeted with a pleasant experience when they arrive.

Kanata: Thank you~. If you have any questions, please ask them at any time, okay~?

Souma: Understood. Then, I will be on my way ♪

Kanata: … … Well, then. I will now have to make my way to the ‘concession stand’... …

(... … All things considered. I have listened to what the both of them have said, and have done a little ‘reflection’ of my own.

I had been asked about ‘the criteria that I wanted’, so I had been idly listing all the places that I want to go, and the things that I want to do.

To stay exactly the same as I am now, would be a little… … Have I been giving too much ‘preferential treatment’ towards my favourite things?

It would be more helpful to Anzu-san if I had an ‘idea’ to propose regarding showing ‘a different side’ of me, wouldn’t it~?)

Mr. ‘Blue Tang’, are there any particular kinds of photos that you would like to see of me?

Should I ask Mr. ‘Sunfish’ [2] while I am at it too? Just kidding… … ♪
