KAZUKI SERIZAWA | MAIN STORY

[toshiakikijima]

the mc, her “ferret,” and suguru in “Wait, I’m the Bride?!”:

[toshiakikijima]

I’m so confused why they picked Taku over Aki and Toshiaki… Or even Rei;

Like yeah Taku has that bad boy charisma, but Toshiaki and the other three have more spring aura around them….

Also…. Ahh LOOK AT MINORUUUU

I really hope they pull this for OISY?!, too.

新しいのVIP Room’s Event: irresistible Mistakes

All 12 characters drawn in school uniform \(//∇//)\

“I’ve been in love with you since that spring”

Alone in the student council room, their first after-school date, the night of the school festival….

“I’ve loved you ever since that spring”

What if he was your high school sweetheart?

Maki Yukihisa: The Dangerous Senior in the Nurse Office:

One evening in the school infirmary.

The person treating you is Maki, who’s constantly surrounded by all sorts of rumors. This person is seriously dangerous.

Just the other day, he kissed me—so casually, like it was nothing…

Even though you’re drawn to him, you stay on guard, thinking, ‘He’s just teasing me.’

But with spring approaching, the time for your parting from this med school-bound guy is drawing closer by the second…

(AHHH new Yuki side story!!!)

Kijima Toshiaki: A Miraculous True Love

Kijima, who brilliantly won first place in the kendo club tournament, is your boyfriend. But probably, he only agreed to date you because he ‘had no reason to say no.’

I mean, you haven’t even had a real date yet…

So you made lunch for two, hoping at least to eat together—

But then, he…”

Tsujimoto Minoru: I Don’t Like That Senior

Every day, Student Council member Tsujimoto comes all the way to the 2nd-year classroom just to see you.

But once again today, he’s roughly dragged away by Kiriya, Hayama, and Asaoka…

And that’s okay — because if he keeps pursuing you any more, you might actually start falling for him…

Then one day, he calls them to the schoolyard and says to you, ‘If I win…’ and challenges them to a match…?

(ugh please if someone gets the CGs send it to me 🙏)

Everything,

Anything;

But Yukihisa?!

[toshiakikijima]

it's 2025...

Voltage is either trying to hid that fact Maki doesn’t not exist by giving two new characters to a series that is ending or that IM was actually one of their best games due to the fact 95% of their Japanese audience are females in a high working class environment. Where as it is hated by international fans who prefer mature fantasy (KOP, KBTBB, MK).

Please give us Maki!

Also, where is Kijima’s development after the MC gets pregnant!?

[toshiakikijima]

There’s going to be new characters soon for the three new titles, Oops, I Said Yes?!, and, yes, Irresistible Mistakes.

WHY ARE THEY GIVING IRRESISTIBLE MISTAKES NEW CHARACTERS 😭

[toshiakikijima]

small rant

but i might be in the wrong. for shunichiro's last season, the mc felt lethargic all through her pregnancy and this was clearly affecting shunichiro as he was facing his own problems as president of a&r. why didn't she go to the doctor's after it was impacting her; mentally and emotionally? i know it was her first baby, but like don't you go to the doctor if your own body is trying to kill you??? I know many women who struggled a lot with post postpartum depression because they didn't receive the right mental health care when they were still ovening that eggo.

i had to reread it cause it was biting the back of my head, and i still hate her from how she acted in s2. (kunihiro's mc in his latest season is also picking a nerve with me omg)

Baby’s gonna be AFAB (Assigned Finland at Birth)

[toshiakikijima]

I wasn’t planning to post until Monday since I just returned from my work trip to Türkiye. I sincerely apologize for being inactive over the past two months—I broke my phone in Mexico and couldn’t get it fixed until we got back home.

But anyway, I was browsing on my work computer, and I stumbled upon this!!! What is this?! What do you mean you dreamt the last election was supposed to predict the future of the L365 community?!

(Yay! ♡(´∀`)ﾉﾞ

Recently, both my 2D (anime/game world) and real-life experiences have been pretty fulfilling! ✨

Despite everything, I still log into 100恋 every day. Habits are scary… lol.

You know… I had a dream.

A dream that a general election would be held next month or the month after… (lol). Something about 100恋 only having about a year left, and this event being absolutely essential to keeping it alive, so people shouldn’t dismiss it… or something like that… 💦

…What if it turns out to be a prophetic dream? ( 'ㅂ') gasp…)

They posted this in April 2024, but the elections weren’t held until the final installment of the new series was released. Many of the lead characters from the newer Love Choice titles didn’t make it into the top 50 in either the international or Japanese versions.

I genuinely believe Voltage is deliberately distancing itself from L365, as they have more active player engagement on Steam and Nintendo systems. However, sabotaging dozens of titles for no apparent reason is just diabolical.

I strongly believe KOP didn’t end halfway through simply because the artist was finishing the manga for Kozaki’s storyline, but rather because the company has a tendency to lose talented writers for their series.

One clear example of this decline is the transition from the 12-chapter + 2 endings era. The main stories featured more than four CGs, making the experience feel more immersive. Before OISY?! and PLUST were released, main seasons had more background content. A standard main season consisted of 12 chapters, plus a special story unlocked after clearing both endings, along with his POV and two sequels. If you purchased the full set before the campaign ended, you’d receive a special bonus—his POV story.

Additionally, side stories used to be released in bundles, offering well-developed narratives with strong climaxes.

Now, we’re getting just 2 CGs in an 8-episode storyline that lacks background information and feels rushed. The writing has lost its emotional depth, making it seem like the stories are simply being fast-tracked without the care and attention they once had.

VOLTAGE 😭

LET ME HAVE HIM

[toshiakikijima]

he do not want to get freaky in front of their child…

[toshiakikijima]

Chiyaga mops about how he wasn’t the “prefect son” or was anything to his parents, but you can see the pattern repeats with him.

Robosuke got it in him 😔

In the Japanese app, Robosuke’s name is 「ロボ助/Robosuke」 ; or technically, “Robot help” which isn’t slick.

[toshiakikijima]

voltage needs to STOP with the whole mommy/daddy issues 😭 with the LCs

Shunichiro Tachibana’s Last Season Spoiler

I have to be honest.

I’ve been a huge reader of Irresistible Mistakes since 2017, when I was just a freshman in high school. Back then, I was captivated by its melodramatic flair, and the plot had this exciting, forward-moving energy that kept me hooked. I vividly remember when Kijima, Kiriya, and Shunichiro’s first season debuted on the standby app—it felt fresh, engaging, and full of promise. But after season four, the magic started to fade. The pacing became unbearably slow, and the storylines dragged on without delivering any real payoff for the readers. It became a frustrating read.

Take Tachibana’s arc, for example. In his final season, the first part opens with the MC reflecting on changes within the company, which had become a more progressive and liberal environment. By now, the MC is a part-time employee because she’s juggling her career as an award-winning novelist. That’s when the familiar trope hits: she starts feeling sick, notices she missed her period, and takes a pregnancy test. She’s pregnant. Yay, right? Except, this is where it all feels strangely… underwhelming.

Tachibana, noticing her odd behavior, asks what’s wrong, and to my surprise, he reacts to the pregnancy news with happiness—totally different from his panicked reaction in season three during the pregnancy scare. They visit a maternity hospital (which I’m sure surprised Kings of Paradise fans), and it’s confirmed she’s six weeks along. He tells her to take it easy at work, and she eventually informs her co-workers that she’ll be working from home. Kiriya, Yuuki, Minoru, Sakura, and a couple of others are supportive, but here’s where things start to crumble for the MC.

Morning sickness hits her hard, to the point where she’s losing weight and can’t keep anything down without getting sick. Tachibana advises her to take it easy since it’s her first pregnancy, and there’s a lot of internal dialogue between them—mostly arguments. Then, Tachibana’s parents drop by, furious they weren’t told about the pregnancy sooner. His father asks the MC if she plans to contribute anything to the family or if she’ll be ‘lazy’ unlike Shunchiro’s mother, who supposedly did it all without help. This scene just grates. After they leave, Tachibana pleads with the MC to stay with her parents for the remainder of her pregnancy, but she refuses.

Part two of the last season focuses on them making amends, and now she’s going on maternity leave. Minoru and Toma are emotional, telling her she can always come back after the baby is born. Tachibana, trying to be thoughtful, makes her dinner when she returns home, and she starts reminiscing about their breakup in NYC. He apologizes for his earlier comments about sending her home and promises she can always lean on him because pregnancy isn’t easy.

And yet, despite all this support, the MC continues to feel sick and tired constantly. Things get so bad that Tachibana secretly hires a maid to take care of the chores she can’t manage. This, of course, leads to another fight. The words of her father-in-law echo in her head, making her feel useless, and it drives her to argue with Tachibana again. Eventually, he sends her to stay with her parents for a few weeks, and she feels much happier there. However, Minoru reaches out, wanting to meet up about a project she helped with before leaving. During their meeting, he confesses that people at work see Tachibana as distant and depressed.

When she returns, she and Tachibana make up, and then—boom—the baby girl is born. And that’s it. The storyline feels like it builds up to this massive crescendo, but the conclusion falls flat, like an ending that was filtered through just to tie up loose ends.

The last three seasons really dragged. Instead of exploring more nuanced themes—like political family dynamics, which is what initially drew readers to Shunichiro’s arc—they spent far too much time portraying Tachibana as this ‘flawless’ man while the MC came across as a complete mess. Voltage missed the opportunity to introduce new characters or develop more meaningful family drama. And honestly, I was hoping for a boy instead of a girl, which could’ve added more layers to the family dynamic.

Ultimately, this chapter felt like a slow march toward nothing significant. It lacked the emotional depth and plot progression I was hoping for. I haven’t even bothered to read the other endings yet, because frankly, this one left a bad taste in my mouth.
