Lead Guitarist-kun! 🎸
For this month's issue, Kunugigaoka's Gossip Magazine chose to feature the mysterious guitarist 'RYUU' from the light music club, who had finally given us a name after almost three years and had even agreed for a photo!
Very little is known about him, as he is nowhere to be found in school despite the solid proof that he is still a student there, that there is only so much this magazine could speculate based on the sightings of him. Just who is he and how is he able to keep his existence a secret for so long?
There are only a limited number of physical copies printed for this month, with available stocks found at the Newspaper Clubroom. A digital copy of the magazine can be purchased from the school's official website half the price.

Happy Birthday, Tsuchiya Kaho!
Kunugigaoka's Gossip Magazine chose to feature the ever hopeless romantic from Class 3-C, Tsuchiya Kaho, on their latest cover to celebrate her birthday this September!
From having crushes left and right to even taking big risks, this month's issue covers quite a lot of this girl's adventures from this year. Since many rumours about her typically involve other people, it's no surprise that she might even have a dirty secret or two to share!

Happy Birthday, Maehara Hiroto!
Due to the sudden rise in popularity of the school newspaper's gossip section, Kunugigaoka's Newspaper Club had decided to publish an entire gossip magazine titled "A.C.ORN Stories" as the club's side project, headed by the notorious Kanemoto Shiori.
From speculations to actual dirty secrets recorded with even visual proof - nobody is exempt from being exposed to the entire student body, not even those scums from the End Class.
To celebrate his birthday, this month's issue features the well-known playboy, Maehara Hiroto, from the End Class on the front cover. There is so much to talk about this interesting fellow, whose kind of infamy even extends to students from other schools.
There are only a limited number of physical copies printed for this month, with available stocks found at the Newspaper Clubroom. A digital copy of the magazine can be purchased from the school's official website.

A long ass list ー All of my Chiba headcanons that I brainrot a lot about (Part 4)
Though it's mostly about him and his tuxedo cat :3
Tumblr media
Even though I've already officially discontinued TARGET ON, but I'm continuing this series because I just love this boy so much 😭💕
Also this specific list is a bit more compliant to the Motley Crew AU, where Chiba has lower tolerance towards bullshit, so...
Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3
Tumblr media
He has an entire playground of cat wall shelves covering 3/4 of his bedroom's walls and the hallway just outside of his room that Chiba himself had installed according to Mr. Popo's best interest, who likes running and bouncing off walls when occasionally releasing pent up energy.
Two of the shelves were perched just near both sides of his room's doorknob, so Mr. Popo can just reach for the lever whenever he wishes to enter or leave.
For some reason, Mr. Popo knows exactly when Chiba is having a difficult time studying (aka biology) and thus bothers him the whole time, like laying onto his opened textbooks or swishing his tail at Chiba's nose.
A major contributing factor to Chiba's declining grades in his second year 😭.
Because Chiba spent years always talking to him since he was a kitten, Mr. Popo easily grew up to be an extremely talkative cat, always meowing back at every audible sound he hears Chiba makes.
Chiba would play a note on the electric guitar and Mr. Popo will sometimes imitate the sound in near accuracy. It kinda became an occasional minigame between them.
The Chiba family have done a lot of family pictorials the past near two decades, usually when children (and pets) are of certain ages. Ryuunosuke so far had two photoshoots with Mr. Popo - the first week since Mr. Popo had been adopted into the family and just after Ryuunosuke's 15th birthday.
If Mr. Popo lives long enough, the third one will be when he gets to be in Ryuunosuke's pre-wedding photoshoot, with the bowtie and everything that makes him the distinguished gentlecat that he is.
Chiba will use every opportunity that Mr. Popo's absolute diva-ness brings so he could diss others unprovoked and get away with it.
Chiba: *shows Okajima's math notes to Mr. Popo* What do you think?
Mr. Popo: meow
Chiba: He says you're stupid.
Mr. Popo was obsessed with dairy products in general, Chiba found out when he caught him dipping one of his paws into the opened cheese spread jar he was just using. Since then, every once in 2-3 weeks Chiba would scoop up a spoonful of cheese spread for Mr. Popo to enjoy.
For a cat who's supposedly sensitive to the cold, Mr. Popo really likes ice cream for some reason. Whenever Chiba gets ice cream, it's a must to leave enough for Mr. Popo to finish the rest of.
At the third last page of Kunugigaoka's Gossip Magazine, there's a mass-voted ranking of the ten most intimidating students in school. Ever since the magazine was first published, there has never been a month when Chiba wasn't included in the rankings.
He can smell someone's bullshit from a mile and he absolutely detests it when people talk in circles. For someone who almost never communicates his own personal problems, Chiba has built quite a reputation for being so confrontational that he would have been in trouble if he wasn't always right about the things he's fighting for.
If Chiba confronts someone about something, best assume that he already knows what goes on and the stupidest mistake one can make is lie to his face.
As such, because he's so observant, Chiba can tell when someone is lying and will call them out for it.
But when he feels like being a menace, he'd just nod along with the most knowing smile present, until he thinks it's time to bring up a known fact that didn't add up to what the person was lying about.
Despite the kind of infamy he has, a lot of his schoolmates still remember Chiba as a prominently kind person who actively helps out anyone when he can. The fear just mostly comes from not wanting to be on the receiving end of his cold wrath.
He's basically a formidable debate opponent. It's just that he is always guaranteed to win and he knows that.
Music is an outlet and performance is a release. Chiba attends high-energy concerts to release pent up stress and emotion while basking in the music he likes. Metal festivals are the common option.
It's not a surprise for him to leave a concert venue with a bruise or two, or in a rarer case, a bloody nose. The small price he has to pay for affordable therapy.
But since he usually attends school the next morning, this does... unhelpfully stir up a new set of not-really-good rumours about him in school.
Hence, he never drops out of the scary students rankings lol.
Despite their common verbal clashes, he actually likes Nakamura and lowkey finds her pretty, but Chiba could never think about having her as a romantic partner.
The reason simply being them as a couple will be "extremely hazardous to mankind" that Korosensei's existence would be the last of everyone's worries.
Nakamura agrees... which is worrying enough.
Okajima is the first to get a taste of how that nightmare would be like... since Chiba and Nakamura basically ganged up on him throughout their entire trip in Kyoto.
If he's way too bored, the worst thing Chiba could do was to start an argument out of nowhere, then slowly leave himself out of the conversation just so he could watch as chaos unfolds while making it seem like he had nothing to do with it.
Chiba officially takes up two of the seven wonders of Kunugigaoka: his eyes and the secret identity of D.R.E.A.M.'s Lead Guitarist-kun.
He's an adrenaline junkie who likes taking extreme risks. Skydiving is in his bucket list.
Chiba definitely liked mecha anime (especially the gundam franchise) and superhero comics as a kid. He probably got his parents to buy him the kind of toys that had to be assembled. It was where he got his liking for building things, which later turned into a dream job.
He still keeps the old toys he had assembled as sort of collective figures, safe inside his large glass display cabinet, much to Mr. Popo's chargin.
The display cabinet is also where he stores his growing collection of physical music albums, old dvds of the shows he liked, and a decent stash of comic books he had amassed growing up.
Although not as prominent as when he was a kid, still liking superheroes to this day is a pretty strong guilty pleasure of his. No matter how accepting he knows others would be, Chiba will never involve himself in any conversation involving superheroes or anything related.
He just has interests that he'd be thrilled to share with others, and interests he'd rather keep to himself.
Like how he likes punk music and will even cause an entire civil war against Nakamura just to get his point across that the genre isn't the pure noise she wrongfully claimed it was.
And how he actually likes the sonic ninja franchise but he didn't join Karma and Nagisa in their trip to Hawaii with Korosensei to watch the new movie in advance since he prefers no one knowing about it.
If Korosensei ever knows about it, no he doesn't.
While he never minds close spaced noises, if everyone present in the auditorium are being too loud, especially when they need to be quietened down, Chiba is the type to scream, in the most demonic manner as possible, into the microphone he just snatched at max volume just to make everybody shut up.
A bit extreme but it works every time, so who cares?
Among his siblings, Chiba receives the highest allowance money from their parents. Although dropping to Class E isn't something to be rewarded for, Chiba still does most of the labour work in the house. Also, the worst his studies had gotten after dropping to Class E was to rank averagely among his grade, which then had continued to rise until he's in the Top 10 at the end of the final term. So, it's a fair trade.
His parents also hardly bat an eye whenever Chiba comes home with a brand new electric guitar behind his back. Ever since he sold the vintage gibson les paul that was given to him by his cousin and was paid nearly a million yen for it, Chiba's parents decided that he wasn't really wasting money on his hobby if the guitars he buys are worth enough to be resold if he ever grows out of them.
His mother named him 'Ryuunosuke' because his eyes were the most unique pair she had ever laid her eyes on. She just didn't think that society would do her son wrong for the same reason. Thankfully, Ryuunosuke didn't grow to be insecure about the origin of his given name.
Tumblr media
And the list makes another comeback!
Hi people~! Sorry for the inactivity the past week. I just got back to working full time in my designing job again, so it was very difficult to even find time to draw a something, let alone do my usual rendered illustrations.
But I'm desperately hoping that I'd find enough time to do something for Chiba's birthday next month... considering how inactive I was the last time I got busy with work. His birthday is seriously the only event I'd never let pass without doing something for him, after all. 😭
