The Contestants Are Here!

Thank you for your patience, I'm now ready to announce our contestants for the Obscure Character Showdown! There are 300 characters, split up into 6 groups of 50.

Here's how the schedule will work: Day 1 is Group A Round 1 Part 1, Day 2 is Group A Round 1 Part 2, Day 3 is Group B Round 1 Part 1, Day 4 is Group B Round 1 Part 2, Day 5 is Group C Round 1 Part 1, and so on and so forth until we reach Group F Round 1 Part 2, and then the next day we'll fold back over for Group A Round 2. I'm splitting up the rounds because tumblr can interpret posting many polls at once as spamming, and each group contains 25 polls, so. 13 one day, 12 the next.

I expect to start polls by Wednesday, May 31, but I may be a little later than that. I'll keep you updated.

The polls will be tagged with 'obscurecharactershowdown,' 'obscure poll,' and their group letter and round number.

Under the cut is the groups and matchups. Thank you all for your submissions, and I'm sorry if your submission didn't get in! If it was a submission for your OC, a mythological figure, a Real Life Thing, an album character, a commercial character, etc, then you may not be out of the running yet. Be patient, I have something else I'm working out!

Please don't come into my inbox, replies, dms, etc, and tell me that a character I chose isn't actually obscure at all. No one's media experience is universal, and from my own experiences, I picked to the best of my ability.

SIHJR Crack Ships

Inspired by @nutton-of-tata

- Kisa x Ritsu - 7/10 they’re work buddies and having an workplace relationship is not cool! No, but they both like dorayaki and that scene where Kisa was grabbing him at the onsen is cute and Takano honestly getting jealous means he’s insecure and afraid that Kisa will steal his man. Cute relationship, I know this one has a lot of fans.

- Akihiko x Hiroki - 5/10 this one is hard and even isn’t really a crackship at all but if Junjou Romantica was a shounen ai series released in the 70s and Akihiko and Hiroki were at an all-boys boarding school in the countryside of France and the story revolved around Hiroki helping a young Akihiko resolve his past trauma then it’s a 10/10. Right now though, I don’t think they’re necessarily good together, the beginnings of Egoist and Minimum really hit home how much Hiroki loved Akihiko and that’s really sweet but I am an ardent Romantica fan + Akihiko doesn’t see him that way so in the end I just can’t really see it. I know some people really love this one too though and I can definitely see the appeal.

- Ijuuin x Akihiko - 8/10 so this one would have been a 2 or a 3 had it not been for a certain fanfic and even though Akihiko ends up dumping Ijuuin in that story I still kinda get the appeal. There’s also REALLY nice fanart of these two together and I’m always inclined to ship two rivals together since that tension makes for a very interesting dynamic. Not only that but having two artists share the dilemma and toll of making art together would be cute and they both live together in their hoarder apartment, their editors screaming at them to finish their manuscripts, cute!

- Ijuuin x Misaki - 4/10 I really think that the only reason this pairing has any points from me is because the toxic-ness is kinda appealing. I cannot see ANY situation where these two would have a loving and caring relationship but the idea of Ijuuin and Misaki being a toxic presence in each other’s lives and slowly eating away at their ability to love other humans is kinda interesting. Yes, I know it’s toxic and I’m not romanticizing it, I’m sexualizing it :/

- Haruhiko x Misaki - 8/10 this is cute and I could definitely see a very interesting dynamic between these two. This pairing definitely divulges into two routes in my mind, either the loving and caring one where they heal each other’s broken family issues and become a stable pair or Haruhiko becomes Misaki’s sugar daddy and either way sign me up. On a more serious note, since both have a parent dead (or parents rip misaki) it would definitely be a cool way to develop each character’s trauma in being able to confide in that sorrow in one another. The idea of Misaki making Haruhiko pancakes because he knows it reminds him of his late mother is also a tear-jerker...

- Tsumori x Hiroki - 3/10 it’s kind of boring. The blame is on me on not being the biggest Egoist fan and Tsumori is supposed to be almost of Sumi-senpai like character (scoff) but he just isn’t as big as him. He shows up a lot for sure and he definitely does things to mess with Hiroki and I think the idea there was that he did like Hiroki a bit but he also wanted to make sure Nowaki was taken care of properly but it’s like, I really don’t care about Tsumori. Idk enemies to lovers or something more confusing but the character had gotta have depth.

- Nowaki x Misaki - 1/10 this is the definition of bland. I’m sorry but if these two got together I’d pack my bags and leave to nostalgia land cause holy shit I can’t. Really, no hate to people who do like these two but sometimes I feel the only reason why people pair these two is because they think the regular pairings are too problematic and they need a “unproblematic” pair. Vanilla just doesn’t appeal to me, at all, and these two are as vanilla as you can get.

- Akihiko x Takahiro - 3/10 I can’t see it, at all. Not to mention I honestly think when it comes to romance that Takahiro would be a very boring character. Don’t get me wrong, I love Takahiro and I think he’s one of the most important characters in JR, but he’s important because he’s Misaki’s family and he shines in that role, if JR were about Manami and Takahiro’s relationship then I don’t know if it would be that interesting. Also their dynamic was very much a one-sided thing where Akihiko treated Takahiro like a gem and just went along with whatever he wanted, I don’t necessarily think that’s a great thing for a relationship. I don’t know, I know this pairing has it’s fans and all the fanart and fanfics you guys make are awesome but I just don’t personally see it.

- Takano x Yokozawa - 1/10 again this is like Akihiko x Hiroki but much worse. It didn’t seem like Nakamura really fleshed out the relationship these two as much and what we did get really was just Yokozawa taking care of Takano during university. Hiroki did somewhat of a similar thing, but there was definitely to me a more established bond between the two. I really enjoy the scene between the two of them in Yokozawa’s movie and it really fleshes out Takano’s character quite a bit but as a romantic pair these two would probably end up in a domestic violence episode.

- Yuu x Chiaki - 5/10 I don’t really mind who Chiaki ends up with. I mean, obviously he only like Hatori that way, but the relationship between Yuu and Chiaki is cute and they share many similar hobbies. That scene where Yuu comes to help Chiaki despite their argument and Chiaki’s idea that he wouldn’t come is sweet. You can tell Yuu cares deeply for him and I’m not too sure about Chiaki, but I’m pretty sure he cares for him a bit as well.

- Hatori x Yuu - 6/10 one point higher only cause I really like the idea of rivals ditching the main person and just getting together. I don’t really like Hatori, but having these two together would definitely be a somewhat fun dynamic and I think they really respect each other professionally so maybe that could blossom into something more 0//0

- Tanaka x Fuyuhiko - 7/10 I’m honestly worried that this isn’t going to be a crackship soon. I’m sorry but the latest chapter just gave me the feeling. I feel bad for Tanaka in this situation BUT having Fuyuhiko confide in Tanaka and trusting him more than anyone is kinda cute ngl. This trope is somewhat common in stories where there’s a very rich family and having two old men be in love with each other would be great since we don’t see a lot of it in BL. Just the way that Tanaka laid it on Fuyuhiko straight gives me the feeling that they’re somewhat closer than expected. Would Tanaka also love Fuyuhiko back? Probably, in a loyal sense I suppose. It’s kinda twisted because he’s obviously the butler, but it also makes it more interesting. Maybe Tanaka knows how much of a fuck-up Fuyuhiko is but still feels a sense of loyalty to him, seeing him go through everything and being by his side the entire time. We’ll see, I put the decision in your hands Nakamura.

- Miyagi x Hiroki - 6/10 I don’t hate it and a relationship like this seems something straight out of a slice-of-life comedy manga. Two classical Japanese professors dating each other I mean, that’s hilarious. Plus Miyagi loves to tease at Hiroki cause with his type of personality he finds it easy to play around with them. But honestly, I want a character that challenges Miyagi’s view cause if he doesn’t have that then I don’t think that he can truly love since he’s all strung up over his past love still. That’s the whole point of Shinobu’s characterization I think, but if they could find a hurdle around it then these two would be cute.

- Shinobu x Hiroki - 8/10 It’s really cute ngl. I’ve thought about these two a little bit and I could definitely see an almost similar situation with how Shinobu became so fascinated with Miyagi. It would be like Shinobu trying to get with Hiroki and Hiroki getting more and more annoyed only to see that this kid can match his level and he’s like oh shit. They’re both kind of hot-headed so it might be a bit volatile but if Hiroki had someone who loved him unconditionally (which I mean he does) then it would definitely be a cute way for him to get over Akihiko. Plus I think he would admire the intelligence Shinobu has and would tell him to foster it properly so he can be successful too. A cute dynamic, I love when the rivals become lovers (even though they weren’t really rivals)

- Ritsu x Yokozawa - 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10 I feel very passionately about this relationship and I’ve thought about it A LOT. I’m sure you can tell by now I love rivals to lovers, but especially in this case because Takano had such an effect of both of their lives and maybe not the most positive as well (I’m sorry I think Takano is a neat character). It seems almost as if they were supposed to be together (but that’s just me deluding myself) since it would make such a nice way to fully develop Ritsu and Yokozawa’s characters in how they realize that Takano wasn’t actually what they needed. They both let his presence hold them back emotionally and only until they can see a mirror of themselves can they realize that and maybe heal through each other and fall in the love somewhere in that process. Yokozawa is probably my favorite SIH character just because of how caring he is and I think if Ritsu had someone like that in his life it would be beneficial. I mean, obviously his life is kinda of a mess but he also needs a stable emotional support because man is not really getting it. His family puts pressure on him and An is only around sometimes to encourage and honestly so far with Takano it’s sort of up and down. Yokozawa too would realize to move the past behind that dragged him on and that’s basically what Trifecta is and it sucks that Hiyori wouldn’t be a part of his life but idk they could adopt a kid. 100/100 one of my favorite crackships and would make such an incredible story.

- Yukina x Yokozawa - 8/10 I know they only have like 4 interactions but I mean that’s the whole idea of a crack ship right? Yes, okay, I like the exicted x grumpy dynamic and I’m not ashamed of it. What’s good about these two is that they’re more than just that (at least Yokozawa is). I’m pretty sure it was shown that they’re went out to drink together at least once so I’m pretty they’ve hooked up at least. Yukina x Yokozawa would just be like erotica except with a grumpy salaryman. Maybe Yukina would fall in love with how dedicated Yokozawa is or how caring he is to people he likes. Or maybe he would have noticed how much he’s still pining over Takano and becomes the person to pull him out of it. Kinda of manic pixie dream girl-esq but we make due with what we can. Yokozawa would take care of Yukina and maybe encourage him towards his art career and become his muse and honestly it would all be cute. I love the idea of Yukina rejecting girls and being like “sorry I already have a sweetheart <3″ and Yokozawa is just next to him.

- Kirishima x Takano - 10/10 it almost seems too good to be true. I mean, you got a man who has no family and a man who had a family missing one member, can I make it any more obvious? On the same vein with Ritsuzawa, after seeing those two get together Takano would probably be in a TERRIBLE place and Kirishima would want to help him cause he’s just that type of person. In the actual movie I remember Kirishima saying how Takano had a lot of problems and I think he sees him as not so easy to toy with as Yokozawa, but dealing with the loss of Ritsu would put him over the edge of Kirishima would see this and maybe feel a bit of resonance of when he lost his own wife (though it’s a little different) and want to help. I think the best part about this dynamic is that Takano would become a dad. Takano has no family and it’s really tragic how his parents really just left him behind so being with Kirishima and Hiyori, he would finally feel that void in his heart. I’m not saying that people can’t live by themselves, but to really not have anyone is super hard and I think Takano would feel strongly for Hiyori, not wanting her to go through anything he had to go through. Seeing this fondness he has for her, I think Kirishima would also fall a little bit in love cause he realizes that maybe he had also been holding on to his lost love and has let it hold him back as well. Something like “I don’t want Hiyori to go through the same thing as I did,” and Kirishima is like “Okay wanna get married then?” The more and more I write about them, my score slowly increased from an 8.5 to 10 so yeah, great relationship I would pay for Nakamura to write something like that.

- Misaki x Hiroki - 9/10 this is really hot, idk. I’m kidding, but I’m not. I mean, it’s not the only reason I like this pairing, but it a certain dynamic that I am once again romanticizing :/.......but I mean think about it. Lost student Misaki, not wanting to get hit by Kamijou again actually goes up to ask him and Hiroki realizes that he’s actually a hard-working student but just needs a certain push in the right direction. Once they start working together, Misaki realizes that Hiroki actually isn’t a demon professor and just feels very strongly (violently) about classic Japanese literature. Not only that, but his pining for Akihiko almost mirrors the pining that Akihiko had for Takahiro so it’s almost similar to Romantica’s plot in that Misaki feels for Hiroki and how his feelings will never return. Maybe Misaki even forms a love for classic Japanese literature and they can share that between each other. I just see a lot of opportunities and the actual interactions that they have in the manga while limited are pretty sweet. They both care deeply for Akihiko so why couldn’t they care deeply for each other?

- Misaki x Shinobu - 8.5/10 okay so any ship with Misaki besides Nowaki kinda works. This one though, I mean I’ve already seen a few fanfics and they’re great. I love Shinobu, he really is such a fun character. I also find him somewhat relatable (don’t worry I’m not in a relationship with a classic Japanese literature professor who is 15 years older than me). Instead, he says that he’s gone by life without a passion in the world until he met Miyagi. This is cliche and done so many times, but it still resonates to that certain dullness of everyday life that seems to creep up every now and again. His passion for Miyagi stems from his passion for life itself, he is that catalyst I believe. So basically, Misaki is the one he’s passionate about this time. Shinobu is a very sporatic person imo so I feel like this is the only way he’d fall in love. I think Misaki dealing with Shinobu’s antics would also be funny. It’s just an overall fun dynamic with two characters who are some of my favs.

- Misaki x Miyagi - 7/10 and that’s the final character from the main three couples shipped with Misaki. Miyagi and Misaki seem a little strange at first, but I’d imagine that Misaki, being too scared to ask Kamijou for help, goes to the other professor instead and they slowly get acquainted from there. The most appealing aspect of this relationship to me is the shared bond they have from losing very important people in their lives. It’s obvious that Miyagi still hasn’t moved on and while Misaki has fared better I’m sure the incident still haunts him so I think it would be very cute to see these deal with their issues together. Mostly Miyagi though, I think Misaki would really help him deal with the loss as he’s dealt with himself and Miyagi slowly realizes that he’s in love with this person. Bottom line is that I love the Romantica and Terrorist couples and I think they should just become one big couple.

- Akihiko x Shinobu - 6.5/10 it’s continuing on and this is a pairing I’ve discussed with some people before and I think that it would probably be the fastest couple to get together ever. Shinobu being Shinobu would fall in love with this gorgeous millionaire author and still shoot his shot because he’s that guy and Akihiko would be like “why not?”. Okay probably not but it would be easier to imagine Akihiko after Takahiro’s whole engagement is a severe mess and Shinobu finally comes into his life after stalking him a bit and confesses to him. It would take some time but I think Akihiko would very much appreciate a presence like that in his life, I mean someone to love him that much openly, it would definitely be a pda relationship.

- Nowaki x Akihiko - 6/10 this is another case of rivals getting together cause obviously Nowaki is somewhat hesitant about Akihiko’s presence in Hiroki’s life. What I think is interesting is that Akihiko doesn’t really feel the same way to Nowaki, if anything he uses him as material in his BL novels. He’s just always somewhat surprised when Nowaki is there and idk maybe he’s just attracted to the tall muscular doctor. I could definitely see these two being a very dysfunctional relationship, maybe Nowaki not liking Akihiko at first, but then slowly coming around to him and maybe they can even bond from their somewhat troubled upbringings.

- Todo x Misaki - 2/10 I really don’t see the appeal. I’m sorry, I also know this one has a lot of fans but they don’t give off any romantic vibes at all. They both like Za Kan and Todo is more proactive when it comes to his life decisions while Misaki is better at taking care of others, but together they just don’t really pose an interesting dynamic for me. Throw in Sumi though then we’ve got something.

- Sumi x Misaki - ∞/10 so this is my crack ship. I think it’s obvious but I’m a Romantica fan at heart and that hasn’t changed, it’s only widened to include Sumi in the mix. I honestly think that a relationship between Akihiko, Misaki and Sumi would be viable....no I don’t. However, it definitely would be an interesting thing to read about. Sumi is just my guy, he’s manipulative, he’s toxic, he has long hair, terrible sense of humor, he’s perfect. And with Misaki, the ever pure-hearted boy that can’t do no wrong, they’d be perfect together. Again, this a pair that can go two ways for me, either Misaki and Sumi form a natural relationship throughout college and Sumi is able to get over Akihiko and Misaki is able to get over his fear of being selfish or Sumi can take advantage of Misaki and be a parasite. Again, either way sign me up. I do really think though that even at the start, Sumi was a good character. It seems to me that Nakamura was almost unsure of what to do with him and saw that Akihiko needed a rival and just put him in that role. But the way she sets him up just seems to me that he’s supposed to be so much more. He’s a rival in the sense that he tried to steal Akihiko once and after that was never seen again. It’s just strange because he had such a large presence before that and to see his role be so small and then disappear seems like unfinished characterization to me. Well, you know what they say, if it isn’t finished then do it yourself. Bottom line, I think that Sumi and Misaki have a lot of chemistry and I know that it’s just me so just leave me be in my Sumi corner alone thank you.

- Sumi x Akihiko - 7/10 is this a crackship? Maybe not, they were about to get in on, with Misaki under the same roof no less, do they have no shame! No, they really don’t. Obviously, these two shouldn’t be together, it would be a parasocial fan’s dream. It’s just the idea of Sumi and Akihiko together is an interesting idea only in the drama that it creates. It would be potentially the most toxic couple ever, I know, even more than Romantica, so please stop reading if this is getting too much for you. However, it would just be an interesting story to read. You have Sumi, the parasocial fan who has read everything that Usami Akihiko has written and Akihiko, the lonely author who has no one to love him. If they got together without Misaki in the situation I could maybe see a yandere thing going on which might be some people’s thing. I could personally see a relationship where Sumi puts down all that Akihiko writes and Akihiko stays with him only because it reminds him of the harsh words his mother used to say to him therefore a familiar habitat. You know, all that mushy stuff, but would probably make for a pretty dark BL. If Misaki was in the picture it would definitely be a little different, I mean what if Misaki really wasn’t in love with Akihiko (and I guess that’s the truth since everyone thinks he’s got stockholm syndrome so) and he’s unable to stop those two. What a mess, sign me up.

- Onodera x Misaki - 8/10 the main characters of each series meet each other at last, the purest, number 1 first romance if you will. Half the reason why I think these two would be cute together is that train scene in SIH. Yeah, that one where Onodera decides to sit on the only seat where a certain somebody is sleeping. A little creepy but maybe he just has a crush. If you think about it though, I really think these two would be good for each other. Both have a lot of issues they struggle with, but I think they compliment each other well, fill in the missing gaps that they lack in each other. Misaki, with his homemaking expertise, would make sure Onodera lived a proper and healthy life and Onodera would help Misaki on his independence. I mean, it’s not perfect but it’s cute. Onodera obviously feels that his accomplishments aren’t worth anything, but I think having an outside party look at him and what he’s doing would help in him understanding just how hard-working he is. Ritsu would also see how selfless Misaki is and help him in understanding that he shouldn’t be afraid to be selfish sometimes and maybe get settled into the working world having experience of his own. Also the illustration between the two of their chibis is cute, the most recent Emerald one not so much.

- Akihiko x Takano - 7/10 now lets pair together the other main characters! Personally, I don’t find it as appealing as Onodera x Misaki however there are definitely certain characteristic to be of note here. First, Takano has read Akihiko’s novels and maybe in a certain way the loneliness that ponders those works maybe resonate to his own sense of isolation. So basically this is the most emo couple on this list. I could see a very melodramatic, but beautiful, story between these two and how they slowly fall in love through each other’s understanding of what they’ve each been through. While not completely the same, there are very much similar aspects that they share such as a bad relationship with family (or no relationship) and romantic troubles. Honestly, they might be pretty good at understanding each other and sorting out each other’s problems to become better people. Also lead shoujo manga editor x best-selling author of the publishing company, now that’s a power couple.

- Takano x Misaki - 3/10 no. Well, it’s more complicated then that and I’ll try not to let my biases get in the way, but the only depiction I’ve read of these two getting together was definitely...disturbing. What’s interesting is that they both don’t really have parents, but Misaki does have Takahiro which makes a world of a difference when compared to Takano who practically has no one. The fact that they’ve lost their parents in one way or another though would make for a compelling narrative of how they each heal through each other’s loss. I feel though that Misaki would be more encouraging to get Takano to reunite with his living parents. I’m not really sure, but I just don’t really see these two having any other relationship besides that. They have completely different personalities and hobbies and I don’t think they’d necessarily mesh well but who knows, maybe there are some fans out there who can say otherwise.

- Akihiko x Onodera - 5/10 this is the rich boy drama that I wanted. Is this even a crackship? Yes, it is because Onodera was only his editors despite what some people may think. Then again, maybe they did hook up, but I’m not sure whether Nakamura would write that in her stories. What is interesting about them is of course a sort of similar background of having been born in a really well-off family that owns a company of some sorts that they are being pressured to inherit. It didn’t seem so in Onodera’s case, but with the newest chapters it really seems that’s the narrative Nakamura is going towards, so there is definitely some tension there. These two have more potential than TakaMisa imo because they almost seem to be foils of each other’s characters. Akihiko doesn’t seem to have any confidence issues on how his family name has brought him success and knows what he wants to do with his life without his family’s interference. Onodera however, well, he definitely has more issues with that and I could see how Akihiko could help him overcome that with his own experience. They also both struggle with loving people so it would be a story of learning how to be your own person and love again, in a private boarding school in England.

- Onodera x Isaka - 6/10 more rich boy drama. This is the nanahikari-doushi couple that I think works better than Akihiko and Onodera only because this time the situation is basically the same, but just approached radically different. I mean think about it, Isaka and Onodera both of sons of the leads of big publishing companies and are set to inherit that top position. I’m not sure of the age gap between the two, but maybe if they met when they were younger and slowly grew up together (idk rip Asahina), then Isaka could help Onodera with his whole issue with feeling inadequate. It would seem like Isaka would be the best person to help him, seeing as he just worked his way to the top of Marukawa without worrying what other people thought. I think that Onodera is just more overall sensitive when compared to Isaka so it would be interesting seeing those two get along, either way dating the CEO of the company you’re working for, that’s gotta be an OSHA violation.

- Haruhiko x Sumi - 4/10 not as big of a fan as I thought I would be honestly. There are definitely some works out there involving these two, mostly because people just wanted to pair together the rejected rivals (better Sentiment) but it’s just not the same... Haruhiko and Sumi don’t really have anything in common, and I really can’t see a scenario where Haruhiko would be attracted to him. The only common thing they really share is that they were both rejected by the people they wanted. I mean, even Sentiment had more than that. But I do like Haruhiko and Sumi’s characters individually and a story where Sumi just gets with Haruhiko to mess with Romantica sounds funny so yeah, not terrible.

- Haruhiko x Todo - 3/10 I don’t know, I just don’t find Todo that interesting. I know that this one is pretty popular, shout out to the Junjou Acceptance fans, but I feel like if Nakamura actually does this it would just be too much. Todo really doesn’t have that much of a developed character as many other characters and pairing him up with Haruhiko really just seems like forcing someone to get with Haruhiko for the sake of him not being alone. However, the idea of Todo and Misaki becoming brother-in-laws is sort of amusing so it’s not all bad I suppose.

- Aikawa x An - 5/10 I don’t think Aikawa isn’t given as much characterization as many other characters. It’s strange since she’s such a staple of the JR cast, but I also don’t think Nakamura ever intended her to be a deeper character unfortunately. An on the otherhand definitely has more going on, but even then I’m not sure how far you can go with these two. I think if anything it would almost be like erotica with a stressed out Aikawa and more relaxed An telling her to take it easy. She might even go over and kick Akihiko in the balls for always turning in his manuscripts late and stressing out her girlfriend. Points for that, so overall a pretty cute relationship.

- An x Kaoruko - 7/10 now this is the shoujo power couple I need. An and Kaoruko definitely share a lot of similarities in being rejected by the person they like and being from more wealthy backgrounds. Kaoruko probably struggles more with the fact that her family is so pushy on her since it really isn’t stated with An whether or not that’s the case, however I think these two would be cute together. Two women trying to carve out a future from themselves away from the pressures of their overbearing households, I mean it’s kinda giving Tamaki and Benio vibes.

- Shizukuishi x Misaki - 7/10 Shizukuishi basically disappeared, but for the 3 moments that he appeared in the manga, he really made an impression. There’s some tension on how much Ijuuin dotes on him, but they both respect each other’s passion for Za Kan and I just think that he’s a more interesting character than Todo. I mean, he’s an overworked little guy that needs a break, what’s not to love. Plus, their personalities are a little more contrasting which is a bit appealing, love a good serious x sunshine trope. Not bad, I wish there were more than 4 panels of him though.

That’s about all I can think of right now. Anyway if there’s anything to take away from this, it’s that crackships are the backbone of JRSIH and draw Sumi x Misaki fanart!!!!!

#idk long post but it took some time since i was trying to think of any crackship that came to mind #i still definitely ignore a few cause i don't really care about them #nao x haitani aka toxic waste #fuyuhiko x misaki who actually likes this ship raise your hand #akihiko x misaki wtf why would you ship this #anyway if you read all of this i hope you don't notice the decline in quality #junjou romantica #sekaiichi hatsukoi

Scene 2: 'A Change of Genre

CW: None really, just some preparations.

Note: Since I'm almost done with act 2, I think I can give y'all a little treat.

Previous | Masterlist | Next

“‘Sumi… when I said I wanted to star in a movie with Suna Rintarou, I didn’t mean a romance drama. And a series at that!” You mutter as you re-read the script your friend handed to you.

“I’m sorry!” Kasumi squeals as she kneels in front of you in an attempt to hide her face. “I really did try to find good horror movies that would star you and Suna, but there is literally none!”

“Okay, I get that, but why a romance drama?” You ask, your brows furrowing even more at the script. “I’m known as the ‘Queen of Modern Horror’! Do you really think I’d be fit to star in a romance drama as the female lead?”

“I tried telling Director Kurosu! I really did! But he insisted on casting you and Suna as the leads!” Kasumi explains as she sighs, sitting up straight. “He said Suna’s manager had already accepted the role and that you’re really needed for the role of the female lead!”

“Damn it!” You curse under your breath as you rub your temples, disgruntled by the current situation. “Fine. But tell Director Kurosu not to expect me to be good at this role.”

You sigh once Kasumi exits your office. You lie down on the loveseat, letting your legs dangle off the armrest. It will be the first in your career, after years of acting as the ghost, murderer, victim, or survivor, this is a role you have the least experience in and you’re basically stepping into the fog blindly.

“Well… I basically accepted already… no use moping around like this…” You mumble to yourself as you will yourself to sit up.

And for the month before your designated filming time, you try to feel the character you’re playing, Shoji Kumiko, while Kasumi reviews the contract and does negotiations back and forth until the contract is agreed upon by you and the filmmakers.

The story isn’t as cliche as you thought for a romance drama. Sure, you notice the usual tropes used, but the premise of the story involves both male and female leads to be somewhat outcasts due to their niche interests or personality, trying to navigate their way through their last year of university together.

Shoji Kumiko, the character you’re playing, is an aloof and quiet forensic science student who has an almost unhealthy interest in religious cults and how they form. She only seems to ramble on about religious cults making her seem weird in the eyes of her peers even if she’s actually quite intelligent overall, already getting offers to work in the police force two semesters before it’s time for her to graduate college.

Ashikaga Hiroki on the other hand, the character Suna’s playing, is a mechanical engineering student who’s a loner and constantly pushes people away due to severe trauma and trust issues from his past. In the movie setting, he’s seen as weird and people avoid him to get away from any of his outbursts from the blurred boundaries he sets.

Kumiko somehow gets through Hiroki’s thick walls, getting him to trust her and open up to her while Hiroki accepts Kumiko’s quirks wholeheartedly, making them have a sweet ending even though the people around them still look down on them. The characters themselves seem to fit your and Suna’s vibes perfectly, no wonder Director Kurosu was so adamant in casting both of you as the leads.

Still, you’re unsure if you’re able to pull this off considering the dramatic and somewhat cheesy lines and scenes you have to act out with Suna. You’re quite sure you’ll mess up a lot during filming as when you’re practising Kumiko’s character alone, you burst out into fits of laughter too many times to count.

The first day of filming rolls around and you and your team arrive at the university where you’ll shoot the scenes needed, meaning you’re staying at a nearby hotel for the next month to complete all the scenes shot in the university. You’re ushered to meet Director Kurosu who smiles at your arrival.

“[Surname]-san! I’m so glad you made it in time. I want to personally thank you again for taking this role.” Director Kurosu says, greeting you.

“It will be quite a challenge for me, but I’ll try my best to embody Kumiko.” You say with a soft smile.

“Oh! Suna-san’s over there, would you like to talk to him first?”

Director Kurosu’s question makes your ears perk up, you’ve always looked up to Suna Rintarou and you would absolutely love to chat and become acquainted with him. You turn your head to where Director Kurosu is pointing at and see Suna there, listening to his manager talk about something, the scene looking like a father (Suna’s manager) scolding his overgrown teenage son (Suna).

Suna’s tall frame has always been noticeable when it comes to most people, visibly muscular even under his hoodie and taller than most Japanese men. His face is a kind of handsome where it looks mysterious and eerie, the kind where his gaze would intimidate another person. Suna Rintarou as a whole absolutely fits the horror genre, either as the villain or the hero of the movie.

“I would like to discuss some parts of the series with him so everything flows more naturally.” You answer, not taking your eyes off of your co-star.

“Then run over everything you need. We’re taking everything slow for today so both you and Suna-san can get used to the flow of everything.” Director Kurosu says. “It’s understandable if you’d like to get used to everything first since both of you have never acted out of the horror genre before.”

“Thank you, I’ll be leaving to go over some things with Suna-san now.” You say with a nod as you walk away from Director Kurosu to talk to your co-star.

P5R: Rebel Girl (A FeMC Story/P5R Rework) Chapter 142: Unity

The next day at breakfast, Ren’s phone went off. She checked it.

Futaba: According to the news, some employees of Okumura Foods are starting to strike.

Ryuji: For real?!

Makoto: I thought you weren’t much for news.

Futaba: I did a quick search of Okumura to see if anything came up that could help us.

Makoto: I see.

Haru: I heard my father complaining this morning, but he wouldn’t tell me what it was about.

Jose: Sounds like this is it.

Ryuji: Do you think Hiroki did this?

Lena: I’m not sure how.

Ann: Ryuji may be right.

Ann: Shiho managed to convince a lot of the student body to try and burn the school down while under Eris’ influence.

Ann: I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar was happening here.

Yusuke: Strictly speaking, this is only meant to wind up Okumura.

Yusuke: I’m not sure if it makes much of a difference to us.

Sumire: Well, where are they striking?

Sumire: Because we may have to be more vigilant than usual if they’re at the Okumura Foods HQ.

Yusuke: Good point.

Ren: I’m sure we can manage it.

Ren: We disappeared in an entire subsection of the city before.

Ren: But I guess if all eyes are going to be on Okumura Foods, we should be careful.

Futaba: Maybe we can wait a bit longer than we usually do.

Futaba: Wait till it builds up a bit.

Makoto: That’s not actually a bad idea

Haru: I don’t mind either, so long as we do this before Hiroki’s steed deadline.

Ren: We will. Trust us.

Haru: Of course.

Haru: I’m just worried is all.

Ann: I get it.

Ann: I felt the same when it was Shiho.

Yusuke: As did I with Kosuke.

Makoto: So did I with Naoko.

Haru: Well… Weirdly, that cheered me up.

Ann: It did?

Haru: Yes.

Haru: All of those times before, you were worried, but you persevered anyway.

Haru: I imagine something similar will occur here, which puts my mind at ease.

Ann: I see.

Sumire: You sure have a mature sense of grace. I like that.

Haru: Why thank you, Sumi-chan!

Sumire: Eh heh.

Ren: Well, it looks like things are good for now.

Ren: Talk to you soon.

Ren started to put her phone away, when she got another message. This time though, it wasn’t from the group chat.

Futaba: Um?

Futaba: Can you come over today?

Futaba: I’d like to talk with you.

Ren: Sure thing.

Futaba: Thanks.

Ren managed to put her phone away before any other messages came through. She finished breakfast, and then headed over to Futaba’s place.

Once there, she knocked on the door. Futaba opened the door nervously. She peered her head out just enough for her and Ren to make eye contact. “Come in,” she said. It would look a little eerie to the random passerby, but there weren’t too many of those on a Sunday in Yongen-Jaya. Ren smiled and walked in.

Futaba guided her to her room. She crouched in her chair, while Ren sat on the bed. “So, what did you want to talk about?” Ren asked.

Futaba fidgeted around nervously for a bit. “Well…you know how I want to get better at, well, being in public?” Ren nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it, but…I’m not entirely sure how. And then I began thinking that maybe I don’t need to. I mean, I can get meals delivered to me and stuff, right? Plus, online courses are better for studying, right? And I’m good with you guys, so whenever we go out, you’ll be there.”

Ren was listening intently to Futaba meander about. “I see… Well, if that’s your prerogative…”

Futaba was shocked. “Yo-You’re not going to stop me?!”

“Well, I don’t want to do anything you don’t want to do,” Ren replied.

Futaba pouted. “Buh. You got me.”

Ren chuckled. “I kind of figured.”

“I’m just so lost,” Futaba said. “I’m not sure what to do.”

Ren thought about it for a moment. “Well…did you do anything before…the incident?”

“Mmmmm,” Futaba answered. “Kind of. I was still a bit anti-social. People always thought I was kind of weird. But I will admit, it was easier before now.” Futaba realized something. “Oh yeah. I forgot until now, but there was something that helped me, if only slightly.”

“And what might that be?” Ren inquired.

“Mom made me a Promise List,” Futaba replied. “I know it sounds silly…”

Ren rolled her eyes. “We wage war in a parallel dimension full of monsters and demons. I doubt anything you tell me here would be so silly.”

“Hm,” Futaba huffed. “I guess you’re right… So, this Promise List…Well, there were multiple. They were a list of things mom would want me to do. And whenever I completed a list, she’d give me a reward of some kind.”

“I see…” Ren said.

“It was just things I had trouble doing,” Futaba continued. She chuckled slightly while looking somber. “It started when I was cutting school on non-test days.” Ren was a little surprised. “I was good at learning but not well-liked by my peers. So I figured I could study on my own, come in to take the tests, and just avoid people altogether. But when I was found out, the school and mom were mad at me.

Mom promised to do something about it. She sat me down, and we talked about what was going on. She was so understanding. But she insisted that I went to school. We argued back and forth, but she promised to take me to a movie I wanted to see if I went to school. That eventually led to the Promise List.”

“Hm,” Ren responded. “Your mom was one smart cookie.”

Futaba smiled. “...Yeah.”

“So, do you want to try a new Promise List?” Ren asked.

Futaba was a little startled. “Um…yeah.”

“Great,” Ren answered. “So, just give me some time, and-”

“WAIT!” Futaba called out. “Um…if it’s all the same, I kind of want to make this one.”

“Really?” Ren said.

Futaba nodded. “The only reason my mom made them is because they were things she wanted me to do. I want to make this list to fill it with things I want to do. I want to show the world that I’m ready!”

Ren nodded back. “Well, how can I say no to that?”

Futaba smiled. She then realized something. “Oh! I’m going to need some time to make one though.”

“That’s fine,” Ren replied.

Futaba chuckled. “Oh, by the way, how did you know to call my bluff?”

“Well…” Ren began answering, “I wasn’t the most popular person in school either. And when I started to realize that I liked girls, that only compounded. There was a time I tried convincing myself I was straight…but that only made the problem worse.”

Futaba was a little surprised. “Huh.”

Ren smiled. “I got some help from my sister, and I know how much that helped me. So I want to pass it on.”

Futaba nodded. “Well then… I can assume that means you’ll help me out with my new Promise List?”

Ren nodded. “Of course.”

Futaba nodded. “Thanks.”

Hermit-Futaba Sakura: Rank 2

“Well, I have to come up with the list first,” Futaba explained. “I’ll think of some things, and I’ll message you when I think it’s ready.”

“Sounds like a plan,” Ren said.

“But I don’t need to do it right away,” Futaba said. “So, if you’d like to stay a little longer…”

Ren giggled. “It’s my pleasure.” The two of them hung out a little while longer.

Later, Ren received a message from Yoshida.

Yoshida: Are you available tonight?

Ren: I should be.

Yoshida: Splendid!

Ren: You seem excited.

Yoshida: Well, something interesting happened.

Ren: Oh?

Yoshida: I’ll explain once you get here.

Ren: Very well.

She put her phone away, and went to meet up with Yoshida.

Once she got there, she was surprised. “Wow. That’s a big crowd.”

“Are you worried?” Yoshida asked, half serious, half teasing her.

“Not really,” Ren replied. “I’m just wondering what brought this on.”

“Hm hm,” Yoshida chuckled. “It appears that someone anonymously leaked to the press that the funds I supposedly embezzled were actually embezzled by Mr. Kuramoto himself.”

Ren was surprised. “Did you know he did that? Mr. Kuramoto, I mean?”

“Well, I had my suspicions,” Yoshida explained. “But I lacked any proof, and it would be my word against his.”

“I know that that feels,” Ren remarked.

Yoshida chuckled. “Forgive me for laughing at your tragedy.”

“It’s fine,” Ren said. “After all, tragedy plus time equals comedy.”

“Too true,” Yoshida said.

“So, I take it this crowd wants to hear what you have to say on the matter,” Ren said.

“Seems like it,” Yoshida said. “But I’m going to be taking things in a slightly different direction. Are you ready?”

“As I’ll ever be,” Ren said.

“Great! We’re on in five,” Yoshida instructed. Ren looked at the sign. “Tonight’s Topic: Togetherness.”

Ren stood with the sign, while Yoshida approached his microphone. The chatter that was happening in the crowd came to a halt. They were waiting with baited breath, ready to hear what Yoshida had to say about this development. Yoshida cleared his throat.

“People of Tokyo! I have nothing to say about the development regarding Mr. Kuramoto.” The crowd was shocked and began murmuring again. “While I am grateful that this mistake has been corrected, I’ve made plenty of other mistakes on my own as well. Even now, I am still learning.

Which brings me to tonight’s topic. For too long, I tried to rehabilitate my image on my own. Needless to say, I did not get very far. It wasn’t until I started receiving help that I felt I was truly earning your trust back.

I talk about how I will fight for you, but my words were ringing hollow because I was alone. If you were to trust me as your elected Dietman, I should be able to trust you to bring me the things most important to you. Because that’s what government is supposed to be.

I was a fool. For too long, I was only thinking about myself. And as such, I will pay the price of not being able to see through all the changes I wish to make. But if we work together, we can begin making the changes that are desperately needed. I offer to you my word, if you offer to me your conviction. Together, there’s no telling what we can accomplish.”

The crowd began cheering. Ren smiled. It wasn’t quite what they were expecting, but it was Yoshida through and through.

After the speech, Yoshida and Ren met up. “Well, what did you think?”

Ren giggled. “It was excellent.”

“Hm,” another laugh rang out. They turned to see Dietman Matsushita. “I’d still say you’re a fool. I gave you this opportunity to try and help set the record straight, and this is what you do with it.”

“So this WAS your doing,” Yoshida said. “Well, to be honest, I can’t deny what you said. Only a fool would want to be a politician.”

Matsushita chuckled. “Too true, old friend. But only a really good one will admit it.” There was a brief pause. “Aren’t you going to ask me the other reason I’m here?”

Yoshida crossed his arms. “Well, I had a feeling, but I’ve already gotten your goat on that a lot recently, so I figured I’d let you have this as a way of saying thank you.”

“You’re too kind,” Matsushita said. He got serious. “I’ve heard mumblings that Mr. Kuramoto is going to step down and not run this election.”

Yoshida was shocked. “Really?!”

Matsushita nodded. “His grandson is expected to do the same. And without the two of them, their party is expected to collapse. Some of the others have joined other parties, while some are trying to uphold the Kuramoto cause.”

“I see…” Yoshida said.

“There’s something else,” Matsushita said. Yoshida was intrigued. “I’ve talked with some of the heads of my party, and they're willing to give you a shot.”

Yoshida was even more shocked. “You mean it?”

Matsushita nodded. “If you manage to win this one, we’ll offer you a place in our coalition. I haven't heard any confirmation yet, but there has even been talks about not running a candidate here just so you'd have a better shot at winning.”

“Well that’s great,” Yoshida said. “Thank you. You’v really been too kind to me.”

“Heh,” Matsushita laughed. “What can I say? I’m just a fool.” He walked off.

Yoshida smiled. “That Matsushita has a good head on his shoulders.”

“No kidding,” Ren replied. “Although, it seemed to need adjusting before now.”

“Well, don’t we all,” Yoshida said.

“I guess that’s true,” Ren said.

“By the way,” Yoshida said, “thanks for always being there to lend a hand.”

Ren nodded. “Well, it’s because I believed in your words, even if you didn’t believe in them yourself.”

“Well,” Yoshida retorted, “I did believe them, but I didn't understand the full weight of them. It's thanks to you that all of that changed. I went from a politician who was struggling to one who was confident enough to admit their mistakes and rally a crowd of people to their fullest. Why, it’s almost like…”

Ren noticed Yoshida trailed off. “Like what?” she asked.

“Ah! It’s nothing,” Yoshida answered. “Thanks again.”

Ren smiled. “You’re welcome.”

Sun-Toranosuke Yoshida: Rank 9

“So, before this night ends,” Yoshida suggested, “why don’t we go grab some beef bowls?”

Ren nodded. “I’d like that.” The two of them headed to the beef bowl place to eat. Once they finished, they headed home for the evening.
