OH OH OH OH OH FULL NAME FULL NAME AKANE KISHIDA
I figured she was the one to get in touch first based on Jo knowing she wanted to see her son, but I have SO many questions about that... how does she know her son survived... how does she know Ichiban was her son and not Aoki... how does she know who Jo is and how to contact Jo... (<- tearing my hair out as we speak)
Anyway when you have the opportunity please view the gameplay footage...
obsessed how its addressed to Mr. Jo Sawashiro i dont know why that detail tickles me... thats cute..
chicken-and-egg kinda deal with Who Contacted Who first. like id ASSUME sawashiro'd get in contact with her first if he was feeling guilty enough about The Whole Situation and was willing to dig into arakawa's past imo, esp since akane wouldn't have any reason (or ability to) know who he was until after he joins the yakuza.. and i mean.. shes long gone by then.. tho that's assuming they got in contact early on and they didnt JUST start communicating within the past few years.
BUT EITHER WAY just gotta wait and see for it all to play out.. in three months <- still cant believe its coming out january 26th 👁️💋👁️
IM OBSESSED WITH THE GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE im soooo glad i was right in how they were going to handle the style change aspect (though i guess it wasnt a hard thing to predict but still..). I LOVE HOW KIRYU CAN ACTUALLY ROAM FREE THAT'S SO COOL i remember people kept speculating on how the gameplay was gonna go with how different ichi and kiryu's playstyles are and this is SUUCH a rad way to answer that question. my excitement is immeasurable and im gonna throw up

I legit don’t know what to say to convey how happy this message made me feel. This is so sweet! I might go cry in surreal wonder. It this real? Really real?
Thank you, @luna-lovegreat for roundhouse kicking the negativity-demon in my head and then slamming its face into the floor. That was glorious. Thank you thank you thank you!

Anastasia “Ana” Read had escaped onto the pages of fantasy books for as long as she could remember. From the likes of Lewis Carroll and L. Frank Baum to fantastical Japanese manga like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura, she’d always found comfort in the stories of ordinary girls finding themselves through exploring worlds of magic and mystery.
The day she received her own wand, therefore, was a day the aspiring writer had trouble describing through anything other than the written word. Ana didn’t think she could ever have coherently articulated all of the feelings she experienced in that moment, even if she’d tried.
The surprise. The excitement, the power -- the potential. The feeling that you had liquid fire dancing in your veins, and yet it didn’t hurt -- it was only invigorating. Like you could go running and dancing -- maybe even take flight, just from the feeling!
The warmth. The companionship, the completeness, the acceptance. The feeling that you were suddenly so much more than you were before, and who you were always meant to be. Was this what self-love felt like? Even just in flickers? If so, was it hardly a wonder why those blessed with self-confidence walked so tall?
The vindication. The reassurance that this was not a dream -- that you weren’t just some freak -- that you were special, and that there were others like you, many others! That they’d likewise felt alone and friendless and uncomfortable in their own skin, just as you did...but that now, you didn’t have to hide. You didn’t have to, nor should anyone else. And soon...soon, you’d feel strong enough to make sure no one else ever grew up as lonely and lost as you did.
Ana may have been incredibly quiet upon receiving her wand from Ollivander’s (as she often was), but her heart was aflame and her mind danced with surrealist dreams of what other amazing things could be in store for her. What glorious adventures she herself could go on, as Dorothy Gale and Tsukino Usagi did in her favorite books...
Her magic had been truly awakened -- and with it, dreams of heroism that swept this taciturn idealist up like a romantic fantasy.
