My Review of Marmalade Boy

How did I get into this anime? I’ve heard of the title several decades past and put it on the back-back-back burner for God-knows how long.

So Miki Koishikawa is a relatively normal high school student. Has friends, loving parents, and loves to play tennis. Let’s drop the mic here!

Her world is turned upside-down when her parents decide to get a divorce. But wait, it gets better! Her parents announce they’re going to remarry to another couple that’s also getting a divorce. But because these parents don’t hate each other to live separately, these two couples are going to buy a big house and live together under one roof. Okay, these parents are total swingers and I can’t help but think they went to a few-too many “Key Parties” in their past. But wait, it gets better! The other couple in this mess has a son named Yuu Matsura. And wouldn’t you know it, Miki thought from the get-go that Yuu was kinda cute and they end up…uh-oh!

Surprise Incest!

In this surprisingly 75 episode series, we see a lot go down with this particular couple as there is a lot to cover. This story covers a lot involving the main characters and their love lives. And it gives you what you would expect including love triangles, petty fights that go nowhere, long-distance relationships, and of course hiding the fact you’re in a relationship from your parents because his parents are her parents now!

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: This was originally licensed by Tokyopop. That is kind of a rarity as we all know the ups and downs of that particular distributor. But long story short, this is currently under the licensing of Discotek. Better yet, while I was viewing this, Crunchyroll decided to be kind and stream the series on their site (sub only). The dub had many recognizable voices from folks stationed in L.A. So we get to hear from Michelle Ruff, Yuri Lowenthal, Carrie Savage, and the late Michael Lindsay. The sub version of course has several folks I’m familiar with like Ryoutarou Okiayu, Aya Hisakawa, Akira Ishida, Junichi Kanemaru…

Wait…did I just say Junichi Kanemaru! Holy rare items! The voice of Harley from Pokemon! FUCKING HARLEY! Before I turn into a screaming/fainting goat, here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

JAPANESE CAST: *Yuu is played by Ryoutarou Okiayu (known for Scar on FMA, Shigure on Fruits Basket, Akio on Clannad, Byakuya on Bleach, Tiger’s Eye on Sailor Moon SuperS, Mr. K on Gravitation, and Igor on Blue Exorcist)

*Miki is played by Mariko Kouda (known for Sakura on Pokemon, Yuri on Dirty Pair Flash, Kaya on One Piece, Nayuki on Kanon, and Juri on Vampire Knight)

ENGLISH CAST: *Yuu is played by Michael Lindsay (known for Urahara on Bleach, Kankurou on Naruto, Tamaki on Code Geass, and Joe on Digimon) [R.I.P]

*Miki is played by Michelle Ruff (known for Luna on Sailor Moon [redub], Nagato on Haruhi Suzumiya, Tsukasa on Lucky Star, Anri on Durarara, Euphemia on Code Geass, Sinon on SAO, and Chii on Chobits)

DISLIKED CHARACTER: In other words, which relationship road-block did I despise the most? There were quite a few people after both Miki and Yuu throughout the series run. And despite the many reservations I have involving with this ship and will glare at their relationship with a surprise incest hate going on, I didn’t want to see these two go out with the worst person.

Honestly, I thought I would be putting Ginta and Arimi up here. Both of them supremely got on my nerves in the first arc of the series. Particularly Ginta with the way he did Miki wrong in middle school and again by stealing a kiss from her. Jinny in the NY arc really aggravated me, but not as much as I thought she would.

But then you have Suzu and Kei. These two characters just wouldn’t stop! Suzu would deliberately invite Yuu over or involve him in some stupid activity to get close to him and make Miki jealous. And Kei straight-up lied to Miki about having her medallion for almost 10 episodes. After all that shit, I thought there was no way in hell dude was ever going to get with Miki, even if she and Yuu broke up. Never say never! She goes out with him. What the fuck, Miki? I know he got a little better after the dishonesty Kei brought about, but still. I did however feel sorry for Kei and lost stamina in my hatred for this kid. I knew he was going to be the rebound guy and that he still stood no chance of being with Miki in the long-run.

Suzu on the other hand, fuck the bitch! Especially after the ski-trip episode! Suzu almost killed Miki. Okay, Arimi might have stolen a kiss from Yuu. Jinny might have lied about sleeping with Yuu. But Suzu almost committed negligent homicide. Fuck her! So yeah, Suzu is my least favorite character on Marmalade Boy.

SHIPPING: Okay…this might take a while, but I want to cover everything as much as humanly possible. And if you don’t want to be spoiled by what I say, probably don’t watch the eye-catches in every episode. They kinda show who’s supposed to be with who.

*Yuu x Miki: Ah shit, here we go again! As if I haven’t written enough opinions on shipping couples that are step-siblings recently. Despite my prejudice against surprise incest ships, this one is the least infuriating of the ones I’ve watched in the last two years. This ship has gone through its share of drama. Yuu had several girls interfere with his relationship with Miki. And Miki had her fair share as well, including a rebound boyfriend. But no matter what, they always found their way back to each other. I shouldn’t hate this ship. I should shake my head with those parents of Miki and Yuu’s. Good God, I thought I’ve heard it all!

*Miki x Ginta: So Ginta was a boy that Miki had a crush on a few years prior to the story. But dumbass Ginta read Miki’s love letter out loud to a bunch of friends and that soured their friendship (which was a misunderstanding). They eventually reached a mature level of casually speaking to each other again in later years. But this gets ugly again when Ginta gets jealous over Yuu and steals a kiss from Miki. Who do you think you are, Dio Brando? Not only that but Ginta does some ugly methods in order to win Miki’s heart including be in a sham relationship with Arimi (Yuu’s former girlfriend). It was at this point of the series that I despised Ginta and hoped he would never find happiness. But thankfully, that hatred passed.

*Yuu x Arimi: Yuu also had a romantic past. But in this case, Arimi had the crush and begged Yuu to date her for three months. And they had fun during those three months. It’s just that Yuu sees Arimi as more of a friend. But Arimi still has it strong for Yuu and ends up trying to make him jealous by dating another boy. That went over as well as a lead balloon.

*Ginta x Arimi: This ship actually started out being a fake relationship. So almost on the same level as what you saw in the anime Toradora. Both of them had feelings for other people, but of course neither of them had any chance with Miki or Yuu. Ginta already dug his grave years ago when he read Miki’s love letter publicly and Yuu had no interest in Arimi even when they were dating. So these two ended up together in an attempt to make their crushes jealous! But it wasn’t really smooth sailing as Arimi is quite popular around her school. She has a lot of fanboys including Ginta’s loud and annoying cousin.

Oh yeah, Ginta’s loud and annoying cousin. I don’t care for him.

*Meiko x Namura-sensei: There will be plenty of episodes involving this ship. They are no threat to Miki and Yuu’s relationship. Meiko is Miki’s best friend and Na-chan is their teacher. It’s just that every now and then we take a detour into “Meiko: The Miniseries”.

Oh man, I thought the surprise incest was enough. Now we get a student/teacher relationship. By the looks of it, this does seem non-sexual and both are consenting (so no one was taken advantage). It’s just that this is VERY taboo. It especially gets dangerous when Na-chan ends up as Meiko’s homeroom teacher and they couldn’t see each other out in the open anymore. Oh, did I forget to mention this relationship kinda started when Meiko was in middle school. Silly me! Have fun with that tidbit. Then it gets crazier when this relationship is found out and ultimatums are put on both of them. I’m not as bitchy about these sorts of relationships and again I point out other controversial student/teacher relationships that raise an eyebrow like Sakura’s parents on Cardcaptor Sakura or Tohru’s parents on Fruits Basket. But I do see Meiko as the successful story that Natsuo from Domestic Girlfriend could learn from.

At least she didn’t have a child with Satoshi and leave him for Na-chan!

*Meiko x Satoshi: And here we have a Johnny-Come-Lately/Rebound! Meiko’s heart still belongs to Na-chan, yet Satoshi persists Meiko at every opportunity. Now there were some moments where it felt like Meiko was going to cave in and start falling for Satoshi. And he has been very supportive of her writing, even if he entered her story in a contest without her consent. He does care for her.

She did give in every now and then to her confused emotions with Satoshi. Hey, she even gave up a kiss too. But she will never be over Na-chan. This ship was a whirlwind of emotion, especially when Meiko sees Na-chan again and she tries to get back with him. Na-chan turns the tables by telling Meiko he doesn’t love her and that he’s now in a committed relationship with their teacher Miss Ryoko. But that was a lie. Na-chan loves Meiko and just used Miss Ryoko as an excuse. Did I mention Miss Ryoko loves Na-chan too? Feel like I should have mentioned that. Thankfully, Na-chan and Meiko end up realizing they love each other too much to let the other one go. Fuck all, fuck the families, fuck what society thinks, we’re engaged. Apologies to Miss Ryoko and Satoshi who are now in Dumps-ville!

Let’s get away from the Meiko drama. In the second arc to this story, we ease away from the drama that consisted of characters like Arimi, Ginta, and even Satoshi. However, more love rivals come into play, especially after Yuu and Miki hook up.

Now that Ginta is out of the picture and has hooked up with Arimi, you’d think it’d be smooth sailing for Miki, right? Hell no! Miki gets a part-time job and works with a boy named Kei. Kei eventually gets the hots for Miki but knows she’s off-limits as she has a boyfriend. What does Kei do? Hold onto Miki’s memento from Yuu and lie about it for several episodes. This guy really put unnecessary strains on Miki and her relationship with Yuu to a point where Miki is hiding stuff from Yuu. Thankfully, this didn’t cause as much damage as I thought and Miki x Yuu is back in business. While Kei has accepted that Miki loves Yuu, he will be back to get her!

Yuu on the other hand had to deal with an annoying little princess by the name of Suzu. After meeting Suzu, I gotta say this girl is persistent. She would always drive him and Miki away from each other or try to drive a wedge between them. Suzu would do everything in her power to have Yuu over at her home. But Yuu has his priorities straight about why he’s over there. Suzu’s father wants Yuu to tutor her and Yuu wants to learn from Suzu’s father to further his interest in architecture. Priorities! Still doesn’t stop Suzu from being an annoying nuisance. And did I mention the almost negligent homicide incident? I’m never going to be over that!

There was also another girl. But you can’t really hate this girl like Suzu. Let’s talk about Ann! She is actually a really good competitor for Yuu’s heart and I can see how Miki could be intimidated by her. A sickly girl with a bad heart whom Yuu has known since childhood! Oh fuck yeah! Ann doesn’t mind being second place in Yuu’s heart actually. She sees that the two love each other and Ann stows her feelings to the side.

…

I suppose I should talk about this stuff as well.

So when Yuu moved to NY, there was a lot of fighting for people’s love in the big apple and in Japan. Yuu and Miki still love each other despite the long distance relationship. However Miki is being hounded by Kei (AGAIN) and the student exchange boy Michael. Meanwhile, Yuu is being pursued by a girl named Jinny. And Jinny is being pursued by a guy named Brian (the brother of student exchange boy Michael). Problem is, Jinny has no interest in Brian and only has eyes for Yuu until she totally fucks it up with him. But then Miss Priss over here gets jealous when another friend, Bill, gets friendly with Yuu’s long-time friend Ann. But then Jinny ends up with Bill. And Brian settles for forever-friend-zoned Doris.

I hope you all followed that NY drama because I don’t feel like going over that web of shit again. Oh wait.

Miki and Kei hooked up too. Don’t worry, it didn’t last.

THESE PARENTS, I TELL YA: Miki and Yuu’s parents are a trip! They tell their kids everything at the last, possible minute. They spring on the most messed-up surprises on them and expect them to just go with the flow. Yeah, I’m slightly with Miki when it comes to the parents remarrying each other. I’m glad they still have a relationship that they still like each other even though they’re divorcing. But for fuck’s sake, you cannot expect anyone to smile and go with the flow when they suddenly tell you that the parents you’ve known your whole life divorces on the fly and trades partners with another couple. But it isn’t just that one thing! Miki and Yuu’s parents constantly drop news on them at the very last minute (especially with Miki).

Why are you moving furniture?

We invited a foreign exchange student to live with us!

Why are you guys dressed up?

We’re going out for dinner! Have fun with the leftovers.

Why do you have all that luggage?

We’re going on a surprise honeymoon! Take care of the house while we’re gone.

These parents are so flighty I want to hate them on the same level as Brock’s parents from Pokemon. But there were certain moments in the anime that cause me to back off. One particular moment was when the school found out about the living arrangement with the mixed family and the vice principal got her panties in a bunch about how unorthodox this was. Yuu and Miki’s parents came in and told them that they love these kids and would do anything for them. But for real guys, stop springing surprise news on your kids.

MOVIE: I actually decided to watch the movie before viewing the television series. After the television run of Marmalade Boy, a 30 minute movie came out one year later. This movie showed us Yuu’s reaction to the news of his parents divorcing and remarrying another divorced couple since the series focused more on Miki’s reaction. Yu’s reaction was hard to tell since this boy really showed no big reaction to this news. Yuu’s got one hell of a poker face. But for most of the special, he ends up following this girl he catches a glimpse of. Only later does he realize that she has the same name as his soon-to-be step-sister.

ARCS: In an anime like this and at the time of its airing, you know they were going to cover quite a bit compared to animes of today. The fact that Marmalade Boy had a total of 76 episodes proves that this was full of love triangles and fillers. It felt like after 25 episodes or so, things change with something monumental happening with the main ship of Miki and Yuu.

The first part of this anime consisted of Yuu and Miki adjusting to life with a very unorthodox, mixed family and figuring out where Yuu and Miki were going to go with their romantic lives. Was Yuu going to go back out with his old girlfriend Arimi? Was Miki going to give Ginta a second chance after their turmoil in middle school? Can Yuu and Miki get together without a wave of disgusting looks from fans and others because of this borderline incest concept?

The second part of the anime consisted of several different characters wanting Yuu and/or Miki for something romantic. Characters like Suzu and Kei came to the picture and were dead-set on keeping Yuu and Miki away from each other. Suzu tried everything in her power to keep Yuu all to herself during study sessions and the like. Hell, there was an episode where she led Miki away from Yuu by having her go to a hard ski-slope during a snowstorm, almost killing her. Have I mentioned the negligent homicide yet to you all? I feel like I should! Kei lied to Miki on several occasions and held something important of hers just to get what he wanted. We also had another girl who was interested in Yuu, but Ann had other things to deal with like her health. But she doesn’t mind being second best girl to Miki.

The third part tests Yuu and Miki with having to deal with a long-distance relationship as Yuu is going to study abroad in New York for his final year of high school. And you all know that long-distance relationships can cause the likes of cheating, apathetic phone calls, and rebounds!

ENDING: Yuu moving to New York really put a major strain on his and Miki’s relationship. These two crazy kids missed each other, but as we all know, most long-distance relationships are doomed to fall apart. I mean, you’ve got Miki being pursued by her foreign-exchange friend Michael and former co-worker Kei. Meanwhile in America, Yuu is being pursued by a girl at his dorms named Jinny. And this bitch goes above and beyond to detour Miki away from Yuu by lying to her about sleeping with Yuu. I truly want to place blame on Jinny for Miki breaking up with Yuu, but let’s face it, Miki can’t live like this. Miki was literally at a breaking point when she made a surprise visit to NY and Jinny’s stupid comment about sleeping with him was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

In the aftermath of this breakup, Miki ends up taking comfort in Kei. This is what we call “the rebound”. It won’t last! But I think Kei knows that Miki’s not going to be his forever love. And this gets put to the test when Yuu comes back to Japan for summer break. No surprises that Miki breaks up with Kei and goes back to Yuu. Happily ever after right?! Not even close. Kei and Ann are left heartbroken (again). Then again, we went through the same shit when Meiko broke Satoshi’s heart and Na-chan did the same to Miss Ryoko. But then we got the biggest bombshell to date.

Around episode 24 or so, we learned that Yuu’s father was NOT his real father. And in that part of the story, Yuu thought that Satoshi’s father was his biological father. But it was later proven that he is not (no matter how much the two are heavily into architecture). Yuu comes across some pictures of his parents from the past that were very troubling. It turns out Yuu and Miki’s parents didn’t just randomly meet during a vacation in Hawaii. They actually have history. Jin’s arms around Yuu’s mother could only mean one logical explanation.

These parents are fucking swingers!

No, but seriously the incest aroma is coming in strong that Oreimo is saying “this stinks”.

So Yuu, not even a week after getting back with Miki breaks up with her, doesn’t tell her this revelation involving their parents, doesn’t even confront his parents and step-parents about this, and ditches her to go back to America.

Yuu, you punk-ass, pussy-ass bitch! Meiko should have slapped your brains out. Do you have any idea how many things Miki has been left out of involving her damn family? Those flakey parents don’t even tell their kids anything until the last minute. She should at least know that her father might have had relations with Yuu’s mother. Yes, this is a really fucked-up turn, but I think Yuu could have handled this better than he did. After Yuu broke things off with Miki, she decided to lock away all memories of Yuu, got a new look and put on a happy face. But she’s still huring inside. So she goes to NY to confront Yuu. Yuu FINALLY says they might be half-brother and sister and Miki ends up having a big enough meltdown that it involved the Manhattan police and a search team.

But after almost being stabbed in Harlem, Miki and Yuu don’t care if they’re related or not, they’ll be together forever. They’re fine with not having kids or not being legally married, they’ll stay together. And perfect timing, Miki and Yuu’s parents, along with Meiko and Satoshi came to NY to make sure Miki was found safe. So it’s time for Yuu to hammer his parents for hiding stuff from them. And here were the results of that!

Yes, these parents did know each other and dated one another in their college days. Yuu’s mother Chiyako in fact was impregnated by Miki’s father Jinn. However, they broke up and Chiyako wound up with Youji. But that baby was NOT Yuu. Chiyako suffered a miscarriage years before Yuu was born. Youji Matsura is Yuu’s father all along. Oh and all four parents know about Miki and Yuu’s relationship. Skeptical at first, but they’re okay by them being together.

And the happiness continues as we fast-forward to Na-chan and Meiko’s wedding. Ginta and Arimi are still on good footing. Miss Ryouko might find love in a new person. Suzu and Kei might be getting together. Same might be said about Michael and Ann. And then Yuu and Miki’s parents announce they’re expecting babies. THIS FAMILY IS INSANE! We end the series with a medley of the best and worst kisses, ending on Yuu and Miki kissing at their own wedding.

That was Marmalade Boy! It was as 90s as you could get with the vibrant colors, dramatic stings, romantic J-Pop playing in the background during the juicy moments, constant close-ups of peoples faces during the shocking moments, and riddled with heterosexual romances. I’ll be honest, there were times where I would completely forget that Miki and Yuu were step-brother and sister and would just go on and root for them. But then near the end of the series where we learn that there’s a good chance they might be blood-related, then I was ready to shove this ship in the trash. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

I can’t be the only person to say this but, I think Domestic Girlfriend took a lot of things from Marmalade Boy. Not straight-up plagiarized it, but was inspired by it. We had parents suddenly get remarried and the main character now has a brother, romantic happenings with the step-brother and sister, and of course a relationship between a student and teacher. But give Domestic Girlfriend some credit, the parents weren’t as fucking crazy as the ones in Marmalade Boy. I thought I felt sorry for Natsuo’s future kid. I saw some stuff involving Marmalade Boy’s sequel manga. That family tree grew and sprouted some confusing branches after Miki and Yuu’s step-siblings came into the picture.

If you are heavily into love-triangles of every form, check out Marmalade Boy. Every episode is now available on Crunchyroll (sub only).

Okay, what’s my next Nozomi Entertainment/Discotek/Animes made before Oct 1986?

Get ready to go back to the year 1983 with this one.

Cat’s Eye? Okay, let’s do it.

[Inazuma Eleven] The Roar of the Beast, ch. 3: Koutei

Last submission for @inavember!

[Read chapter 3 on AO3!] [Read chapter 3 on Fanfiction!]

Rated: K+

Chapters: [One] [Two] [Four] [Five] [Six] [Seven] [Eight] [Nine]

Characters (for this chapter): Shinichi Handa, Mamoru Endou, Yuuto Kidou, Akio Fudou, Kakeru Megane (minor), Ryou Miyasaka (minor), Jirou Sakuma (minor), Kageto Yamino (minor), Koujirou Genda (minor), Hitomiko Kira (minor)

Word Count: 2772 (this chapter), 6794 (up to chapter 3)

Summary: Canon Divergence (the canon remains unchanged, but details are added regarding unexplained parts of the story)

With the firm intention of becoming more useful to the team and helping both in the forward and in the back line, Shinichi Handa starts developing a brand-new hissatsu. But even the most average of heroes has his own set of demons to face before he can achieve his much-deserved glory.

Thanks to: @ishidoshuuji and my girlfriend Roxy for proofreading this for me and helping me develop some of these characters, and to @inavember for giving me the motivation to work on these old things again! The writing gets less bad from chapter 4-5 onwards, so I hope Heather’s and Roxy’s work will make the wait bearable.

Everyone’s attention turned to the place where Miyabino had pointed.

“Whatcha’ lookin’ at, yer dimwits?”

For some’s surprise and some others’ disappointment, a green-coloured penguin had emerged from the ground and was standing in the place, staring at the group with its flippers folded. Handa couldn’t believe it; he had managed to make a penguin appear. He had finally summoned an animal, which brought him a step closer to creating his new hissatsu technique. Nevertheless, he started worrying as soon as he looked at the adult Kidou, who closed his eyes and snorted.

“…Well, it’s a start.”

Handa’s fragile spirits crumbled again. What was wrong? Hadn’t he done it right? What had failed? And how could he fix it? All these questions crossed his head like lightning, but the only thing that came out of his mouth were some pitiful babblings. Luckily enough, Megane was very curious and he took the initiative.

“Hasn’t he done it properly?” Raimon’s winning ‘ace striker’ asked.

“It is not that you have not done it properly, Handa…” The adult said, placing a hand in Handa’s shoulder, trying to comfort him. “It is simply that… perhaps it would be better for you guys to explain it to him. Sakuma?”

“Yes, Commander!” Sakuma said, diligent.

“…Suck-up.”

“I told you to close your trap, Fudou. Let me talk once and for all! Tsk…” Sakuma gazed at Handa. “You see, here, in Teikoku we have managed to summon seven different kinds of penguins: the green ones, the orange ones, the yellow ones, the cerulean ones, the red ones, the indigo ones and the violet ones. As you already know, the reds are the ones we used for Koutei Penguin Ichi Gou, which are fairly aggressive but really strong. The indigo ones are used for Koutei Penguin Ni Gou, since they are more docile and easy to control. And the violets are the ones we are trying to summon now, which are necessary to use Koutei Penguin San Gou; in other words, the ultimate penguins, seeing as they are strong, obedient and perfect to be used for advanced techniques.”

“And… the green ones? What do you use them for?” Handa asked.

“For… nothing, really. Up to the red ones, the rest are useless.”

“Who ya callin’ useless, yer patch-wearing freak?” The penguin answered back. ”The problem’s yer don’t know how to use us properly ‘cause yer a bunch of idiots!”

“You don’t have the strength to be used alone in any sort of shoot hissatsu.”

“Yet ya call us for yer Koutei Penguin 7, yer moron.”

“Yes, along with the other six types.”

“Ya can get by without us, then! I'm still wonderin' wha tha Hell ya've called me fer now…”

Handa raised his hand timidly.

“E-excuse me, mister penguin… I was trying to summon violet penguins for Koutei Penguin San Gou, but it hasn’t come out very well…”

The face of the penguin turned into an expression of annoyance and even repugnancy.

“…Who’s this bloodless dolt?”

“S-Shinichi Handa! I-I’m really sorry…”

“Yer even worse than these,” the animal snorted. “And ya hope to control a penguin squad with that attitude? Don’t make me laugh; we’ve got our pride, ya know! We’d never let a feeble like ya boss us ‘round!”

The young midfielder got totally dejected.

“Once again, come on! I don’t want to see you lazing around!”

Raimon’s three players took their positions again to fire another Death Zone 2.

“Oono, Kennya! Get ready!”

“Yes, Genda!” They both said in unison, placing themselves at both sides of the goal. They raised their arms in the air while Genda, impassive and with his arms folded, felt a gigantic rock wall appearing behind his back.

“Shin! Mugen no Kabe!”

The ball strongly clashed against the rocky barrier, but, once again, it was no use. The technique was too powerful to be surpassed with an incomplete hissatsu like that. And, even if they could master it, the foe hissatsu had already reached the limit of its power, while theirs was still so green. It used to take weeks, sometimes months, to evolve a hissatsu to its next level; it was impossible for them to break that wall in a single day. Or that’s what they thought, at least.

“Coach Hitomiko, I don’t think we can do it…” The young Kidou said, exhausted. The coach just frowned.

“And this is the Raimon that never gives up? Come on! I thought you were a little more daring! How disappointing.”

Endou stood watching his mate for a few seconds before talking.

“Come on, Yuuti. The worst we can do is lose heart! Trust coach, she knows what she’s doing!”

“…You’re right, Endou. Come on, let’s keep on trying.”

“Yes, captain. Let’s go,” Shadow said quietly.

“Wait a second, guys. I’ve just come up with something…”

The three of them gathered together while Endou explained them his plan.

“Come on, Handa-kun, get out of there.”

Raimon’s midfielder was sitting on a corner, facing the wall, absolutely depressed.

“That penguin doesn’t know what he’s saying,” Megane continued. “Don’t you think that, if he knew you couldn’t do it, Kidou-san wouldn’t even have taken the trouble to try to help you?”

“That’s it, that’s it!” Miyasaka said vigorously. “Also, you have come so far already: you have finally summoned a penguin! Although it’s a nasty piece of work. But if you manage to control him, you’ll be able to control all the others!”

Shinichi finally gave a sign that he was alive: he turned his head and stared at his mates.

“…Do you really think so? I dunno if I’ll be able to do it…”

Megane adjusted his glasses, which shined brightly for a second.

“Think about it, Handa-kun. No one has ever been able to make use of those penguins. It’s your chance to show your talent to the world!”

“Yeah, you will surely manage to make good use of Koutei!”

“…Who’s Koutei?” Handa asked, as disconcerted as usual.

"That's how I called the green penguin! Now run; if you take too long, he'll go again!"

Still apprehensive, Handa stood up again as he followed Miyasaka, who broke into a run and moved away from there, with his eyes. Megane leaned on Handa and sighed deeply.

"See, Handa-kun? That's what happens when you let a kid do the work of a professional. 'Koutei'… Hah! So lame!"

"How'd you've called it, Megane-kun…?"

Megane blinked a few times and quickly averted his gaze to the opposite direction.

"…W-who cares anymore, anyway? But I'm sure I could have come up with something much better!"

Handa let out a light guffaw before breathing deeply and going out to meet the penguin.

"Look what you have done. Do you enjoy saying such things to someone you do not even know?" The adult Kidou scolded.

"Bah. He's useless without a backbone; he so is an’ that's that."

"That 'useless without a backbone' might want to give you the recognition you deserve. He might be the only one in here who is actually willing to do it."

The penguin stood watching the coach, curious.

"Handa has been fighting hard to become a great soccer player," Kidou went on, "and if someone can use you properly, that is him. He may not have much Teikoku spirit, but he definitely has great game vision. Maybe not being as obstinate as us with the attack will help him hit on an idea."

"Tsk, okay, fine!" The penguin sighed after a pause. "I'll give him a chance. But I’m outta ‘ere if I see he ain’t worth it!"

“…I’ll try my best, Koutei-san.”

Handa, who had just come to the penguin’s and the other Teikoku members’ encounter, had listened to the whole conversation. His look, more confident than before after knowing of the support his ex-teammate was offering him, gave the aquatic bird some hopes. It folded its flippers before talking.

“I won’t go easy on ya, punk.”

“…I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Kidou nodded, smiling a little.

“Sakuma, Fudou; take charge of Megane and Miyasaka. I will train with these two.”

“What? Do I have to take care of the four-eyes and the girly-boy blondie?”

“No complaining, Fudou.”

“…You owe me a really big one, Kidou,” Fudou growled.

The adult Kidou took the penguin and Handa out of there, still looking back from time to time, worried about what Fudou could do.

“It’s a quite strange idea, captain,” Shadow said with his always impassive voice.

“But it makes sense per se. In fact, that’s how we first created Death Zone 2.”

“Then quit doubting and let’s give it a try!”

The three of them stood up again and looked at the front. Their determined gazes made Hitomiko smile.

“Come on, guys, this is it!”

The ball shot out upwards at the same time as the boys jumped. This time, nonetheless, the coordination between them wasn’t the predominating factor; instead, they let their own impulses guide them. The will to improve, to achieve a common goal; all their individual efforts were giving birth to the strongest Death Zone 2 of them all. The triangle formed by the three boys sparkled more than ever before, even though each one kept his own time, speed and style. And, eventually, all being one, they broke up their deathly formation, jumping even higher and kicking the ball all at once from above. An enormous dark sphere was generated after that collision.

That was not a hissatsu where the players would have to restrain themselves or act like their teammates. Their individual strengths and styles were what fed that strange evolution of Teikoku’s original Death Zone; that was something that they had forgotten with time. But, when they all understood that that was what the technique was lacking to excel itself, they shouted triumphantly:

“Death Zone 2… G2!”

The glow of the ball was even bigger than the goal or the wall made by Genda, Oono and Kennya. It wasn’t easy, but, finally, the ball broke through Mugen no Kabe and strongly pierced the goal, leaving the goalkeeper and the defenders lying on the floor, totally beaten.

“Well done, guys. You’ve finally understood it,” Kira celebrated with a smile on her lips.

“It was all thanks to your support, coach Hitomiko” Mamoru answered cheerfully.

“Thank you, coach,” Kidou and Yamino said at once.

“Not at all. It’s my job, after all. Genda, Kennya, Oono!”

“Yes, coach!” The aforementioned shouted, standing very straight and almost in a military position.

“Good work on your part too.”

“Thank you so much for the flattery, coach Kira!”

Kidou and Endou couldn’t stop getting surprised every time they saw how perfectly controlled their former coach had Neo Japan’s players and, hence, Teikoku’s as well. Shadow wouldn’t get surprised. Never. Ever. Or so it seemed, at least.

“Come on, head to the showers; you stink like wild baboons,” the talented tamer ordered, laughing softly. Her pupils would have laughed too if it weren’t because they were too surprised by the fact that the always cold Hitomiko Kira had made a joke.

Handa finished scribbling on the paper.

“I must admit I like tha idea, punk.”

“I would have never thought of it that way, Handa. You have pleasantly surprised me.”

Handa flushed and laughed nervously; he was rarely congratulated like that.

“Are you really okay with it, Koutei-san…?”

“Yeah, sure. It’s at least a better use than wha this bunch asks of me.”

“Are you ready to give it a try?” The coach asked.

“What? So soon…?”

“Let’s go for it, I can’t wait to put it into practice! An’, by da way…”

Without saying a word, the penguin placed one of its wings in Handa’s mouth; the boy, although incredibly surprised and even scared, let the bird do as it pleased.

“Keep calm, punk! Feel a pro’s flipper in yer mouth,” the penguin calmed down, moving its flipper around until it finally properly placed it in Shinichi’s mouth. “Can ya feel how’s it settled?”

The disconcerted midfielder nodded lightly. Kidou didn’t know what the Hell that silly emerald bird was doing either.

“Blow now. Let’s see what happens.”

Handa obeyed, and a sweet whistle came out of his lips. The penguin frowned, telling him with its gaze to put it forward. Finally, Shinichi whistled strongly, just how Kidou, Sakuma or Fudou would do, and felt how, under his feet, the ground shook lightly. At that moment, a squad of portentous violet penguins emerged from the ground, taking up a stance in front of the boy.

“Have you called us, sir?”

The boy opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously as Koutei withdrew its wing from Handa’s mouth.

“It… it was me, right? Was my whistle what summoned them?” Handa asked, still fearful that the answer would be ‘no’.

“That’s it, punk. A token of me gratitude fer… uh, trustin’ me. Yeah…”

Raimon’s player, moved, couldn’t help hugging the green penguin and, next, the adult Kidou. His eyes were equally filled with tears and gratitude.

“Let’s get down to work, Handa!” Kidou said in high spirits.

“Y-yeah!”

Shinichi, Koutei, the violet penguins and Kidou jumped into the field, leaving behind the papers where Handa had drawn. They didn’t need them anymore; the boy had the idea perfectly etched in his memory. Among that muddle of lines, doodles and hideously drawn penguins, a sentence could be partly identified. The name of the hissatsu Handa was about to create.

‘Koutei Penguin…’

Fudou whistled unwillingly, but his experience allowed him to call violet penguins even like that. Sakuma and Miyabino were looking from the distance, as they weren’t able to do the same. They had decided to keep themselves out until Raimon players could shoot, be Fudou’s methods whatever they were to make them achieve that goal.

“Four-eyes, blondie, c’mon; I’ll teach you how it’s done.”

“Fudou-kun, you should be more respectful to us!” Megane argued.

“I’m in charge here, so if you don’t like my methods, you can get lost and abandon that bore of a chum of yours.”

Both Megane and Miyasaka averted their gazes, anxious. Fudou scared them, but they had promised to help Handa and, after all that he had already achieved, they didn’t want to let him down. Miyasaka was the first to decide to talk.

“Okay! I’m willing to do whatever it takes, Fudou-san!”

“Me… me too! We’re at your command!”

The bad-tempered former captain of Shin Teikoku smiled an evil smirk.

“Alright. Koutei Penguin San Gou’s generally a hissatsu performed by two midfielders and a forward. But, seeing how the blondie looks like, I’d say he’s a defender.”

Fudou hit the nail on the head. Miyasaka felt bad for not playing a more proper role for the hissatsu, but he chose his position to be able to be like his senpai, Ichirouta Kazemaru.

“Moreover,” he continued, “as every combination hissatsu, it unites the strength of the ones who put it into effect. And the four-eyes seems pretty weak to me.”

Megane tried to seem offended. How dare he tell Raimon’s ace player something like that, his eyes queried. But, deep inside, he knew he was completely right. He was a forward only technically and out of simple pig-headedness, but he would rarely play in that position. And that only when he played at all; if not because Raimon was a team where team spirit predominated, Megane would have been nothing but a benchwarmer.

“But…” Fudou ended, “I guess something can be done. Penguins, get ready! And you two, keep up with my moves if you can!”

They all rose in the air, but, despite Fudou’s and the penguins’ help, it was a shambles. Miyasaka couldn’t stay in the air, and Megane’s final heel kick, besides weak, barely brushed the ball. The sphere didn’t even aim at the goal, but it fell to the ground like a piece of lead.

“Pathetic,” Fudou growled.

Megane, hurt, stood up.

“O… once again! Let’s go, Miyasaka-kun!”

“Y-yes, Megane!”

Fudou folded his arms and smiled slightly. Those idiots, although they didn’t have strength or talent, at least had some guts. Carefully thought, though, the original Koutei Penguin San Gou was already performed by a talentless and gutless idiot and would still come out quite nicely. Fudou directed a grim gaze toward Sakuma, who was slightly disconcerted, but retorted it anyway, frowning and angry although he didn’t even know why.

This affair of theirs might even work out well… What am I saying; they better work it out well. I don’t want to lose my precious time for nothing.

“Tsk.”

As usual, nonsense.

OFF SEASONに寄せてプロンプトン墓地水脈マルコ・ポーロ貝殻 .... タイトルを眺めてるだけで音が聴こえてくる（良くないはずがない）聴いてない時でも僕らを包む音の風景はいつもここにある伊藤ゴロー（音楽家）

寂とした震えで満たされた器のなか撹拌され舞い上がり沈降する憶いの澱小林和人（Roundabout/OUTBOUND 店主）

まだ少年のような好奇心といたずらっぽさと少しの影を抱えた青年が、旅に出て。不慣れな町を歩き、見知らぬ人の会話に耳を傾け暗い町の、薄暗い宿のベッドでちょっと難しそうな本を広げたまま、眠りにつく。特別なにも起こりもせず、またいつもの毎日に帰る物語。昼間のシーンはなくて、あるのは夜だけ。そんな、とびきりポエティックでロマンチックな映画の、サウンドトラックに聴こえました。もちろん監督も主役も、三品さん。甲斐みのり（文筆家）

[In11] Reading Headcanons

These days are being really stressful at work so I’ve been writting this to relax a little.

One of my favourite things are books. I really like reading so I decide to write what I think that would be the Inazuma character’s habits on reading and their favorite books. Only Original Series because I don’t feel like I really know the Ares/Orion ones.

I’d love if more people share their headcanons about this topic even if they aren’t the same as me!! Spread the love for books and reading.

[Inazuma Eleven] Headcanons on Books and Reading

Afuro Terumi: He likes to read in general, although what he enjoys most is not books as such but Legends and Myths from different parts of the world. Especially from Greek mythology, two works of this style fascinate him "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey". You can ask him any questions about a hero or god and he will know the answer without hesitation.

Choi Chang Shoo: He loves to read and cultivate his mind. He reads a lot of Asian literature, he actually reads a lot of everything. His favorite book is "The Art of War".

Edgar Valtinas: He really likes to read, and tell people how much he reads making criticism that nobody asks for about his last literary acquisition. If it is boring and convoluted, he likes it more. Reading pompous things that he can proudly show off even if they are complex reading. "Pride and Prejudice" is his favorite work. He also likes "Les Miserables" and "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Domon Asuka: He does not dislike reading, although they are light and often humorous things, for times when he wants to do something different, even outdoors. He likes light novels and comics. A light novel that he likes a lot is "The devil is a part-timer!".

Dylan Keith: "War of the Worlds", the best work ever conceived. Normally what he reads are usually comics, the more related to alien invasions or zombies, the better. In any case he is a slow reader and prefers to watch movies or series.

Endou Mamoru: He doesn't like to read, he prefers to use his time to training and playing football. The only thing he sees reading for his own pleasure are his grandfather's notebooks and football magazines.

Fidio Ardena: He likes to read, he tries to combine it with the rest of his obligations and hobbies, he seeks to read every day although sometimes he can't, but on the weekend he will always take out even an hour to read. He really likes Italian literature and his favorite work is "Scaramouche" and "The Name of the Rose".

Fubuki Shirou: He likes to read from time to time, although when he picks up a book he has the need to finish it, the stories that have a happy ending are his favorites, especially romantic and cloying stories. Sadly it seems that almost all romantic classics do not have a very happy ending. So he goes more to youth books in that sector and ends up reading things like "Twilight". Since Fuyuka likes the same books, it is often common that after reading a book they exchange their opinions animatedly.

Fudou Akio: He likes to read for a while before going to bed, although he doesn't spend much time he is a fast reader. His favorite books are of the black and horror novel genre, fond of the novels of Agatha Cristie and Edgar Allan Poe, "The Crimes of Morgue Street" is his favorite. He also reads the works of Lovecraft and likes "The Hound of the Baskervilles". He doesn’t despise comics with a serious plot, he is a fan of "Death Note" and "Monster". In the morning he wonders why he has disturbing dreams.

Genda Koujirou: He doesn't mind reading, but he doesn't like it that much either. From time to time he picks up a book if it catches his attention, he lets himself be carried away by the titles and the color of the cover. Of course, after Sakuma reads a book, he will also do so to be able to comment with the other boy. The only books he reads because he likes them are western books, his favorites are "Warlock" and "Desert Centaurs".

Gouenji Shuuya: He doesn't like to read at all. He blames his father forcing him to read a lot as a child thinking that would make him smarter. The only thing he reads are children's books that he reads to his sister before bedtime and of course, on a personal level he doesn't like them at all. Although the story of "The Lion King" causes his eyes to swell.

Handa Shinichi: As you would expect from a normal person, Handa likes to read normally. Neither too much nor too little He does not have a favorite novel, everything passes without grief or glory to him. Read much more outreach books or guide books or keys to achieve different goals, such as "Super powers of success for normal people".

Hijikata Raiden: He loves to read his sibblings, although he doesn't have time to read for himself, he doesn't care much. He loves children's literature and really enjoys telling and even setting up the stories. Sometimes even he invents stories in which of course, his sibblings are the protagonists. It is not uncommon for existing stories to change the names of the protagonists so that their siblings feel more identified. Every day it's up to one of them to shine. His favorite is "Peter Pan" because of the number of children that appear.

Ichinose Kazuya: He likes to read things with a lot of deep and from which something can be learned. He does not care if the novel does not give an excessively happy ending, the drama does not bother him. He likes works like "The Great Gatsby", "The Lord of the Flies" and "Kill a Mockingbird".

Kabeyama Keigorou: Reading is not something he especially like, but he likes manga, his favorites are sports shonen, but he does not dislike adventure. Then talk to Kurimatsu and Megane about these. He still doesn't find one that he especially likes, although sometimes he looks very enthusiastic about "One Piece".
