Jeweler Richard & Seigi no Mikata really be my fave duo
Been catching up with the LN for the past 3 days and cb that vol 06 is will be released 2 months from now so how long before the copies reaches PH shores, I wonder *sobs in lapiz lazuli*
While I love the individual stories for JR, I still wonder about some phrases and terms if it were in Japanese. Still wish we have footnotes, @sevenseasentertainment ー still, amazing job for this wonderful series!!! Keep at it, love you!
I've been stewing in feels for a good year already and I reaaaaaally want more folks to read The Case Files of Jeweler Richard like some bits that I love would be
How Richard + Seigi dynamics is a journey from being boss × part-timer to being less friends, less lovers ー just plain love as Seigi puts it
Analyzing every Richard + Seigi interaction, they have the most subtext-laden conversations and reading about every nuanced expression makes every volume a treat
Tanimoto's character is so well put together ー relatable on how love can be such a foreign concept but shows such positivity in exploring more about this aspect of herself which makes ot so hopeful and beautiful
Lots of facts about gemstones, like I find myself searching to double check and it is such a delight how Tsujimura-sensei put a lot of palatable info into each story (surprise I remember most of 'em, yay)
Yukihiro-sensei makes the most beautiful covers I just wanna cry like we're having Richard hime moments & Seigi's maturing as well
I mean look at vol 05, Richard has no reason to look that delicate
We have a long, long, long way to go and I am on board with reading up until we reach the latest vols

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard (Novel)
3 volumes in English as of 4/18/2023. Ongoing.
Licensed by Seven Seas
This highly acclaimed mystery tale about a young man teaming up with a handsome jewelry appraiser inspired a popular anime–and a manga adaptation (also from Seven Seas)!
Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian is a brilliant and enigmatic British jewelry appraiser. Seigi Nakata is a young college student. Their worlds are as different as can be, but when a chance encounter leads Seigi to hire Richard to appraise a family heirloom, it sparks a partnership that goes well beyond that one job. Together, the duo investigate jewelry-related cases and solve mysteries, finding the secret messages hidden in the hearts of precious stones–and the hearts of those who possess them.

2023 ー Big News
Hello everyone, how are you? It's been a long time since I posted on here. I'm sorry for disappearing, life has been quite hectic and BPro hasn't been posting anything exciting to upheld my motivation, sadly.
However, today on the GANDARA BB+ Radio episode, Yashiro Taku (Haru's VA) and Toyonaga Toshiyuki (Goshi's VA) dropped some major news:
(1) B-PROJECT ～熱烈＊ラブコール～
Yes, you read right, B-Project's Season 3, Passionate＊Love Call, is coming October this year! Both VAs told us that they already recorded a lot of scenes. This season will be animated by yet another studio, Asahi Production (2020: WAVE!!, another project by Mages). The previous staff and cast will return, though.
(2) "B-PROJECT Birthday Project 『Time』"
Mark the birthday of your favourite member(s), because on each birthday they will release a CD single with a mini drama as a bonus track to celebrate the member's special day. This also marks the return of Utako Yukihiro as the artist for the cover jackets! The project starts with Goshi's birthday on the 4th July.
As always, Mages prepared different versions for the CD release. In addition to the standard version, there will be a SPECIAL BOX version that includes two badges, an acrylic standee and postcards. For members of the Love&Art Fan Club Mages will give out a platinum release of the single and special bonus.
I'm over the moon about these news, I hope you're, too! This comeback definitely made some waves as BPro was trending on Japanese Twitter for a while after the announcements.
See you again!

Break My Case, new joseimuke game from coly
Official site
Coly (Mahoyaku, Stand My Heroes, and the now canceled &0) have announced a new game called Break My Case. More info will likely be released at this year's AGF. Preregistration is currently open.
The overall plot seems to be about a hidden detective/fixer agency that solves problems. Character designer is Yukihiro Utako who worked on B-PROJECT, and there's quite the star-studded cast of VAs: I saw Ono Yuki, Fukuyama Jun, Kobayashi Yusuke, and Furukawa Makoto while skimming the character pages.
And the characters do look really neat:

Coly, the company behind Mahoyaku and Stand My Heroes, have announced a new game. Some friends and I realized that despite looking somewhat generic at first glance, it's got a handful of intriguing things going on with it! So here's a quick kind of long introduction to/my thoughts on Break My Case!
First: the website! The music on the site is really good! Go listen while you read this post!! There are 12 people listed as composers in the credits page, and it seems most every VA involved has at least a bit of experience with singing or music projects. The tone is a bit dark for a rhythm game (though I'm not ruling that out entirely), but otherwise it seems like there's gonna be a music focus. Cool! As far as other staff goes--the main scenario writer is also the writer of Stand My Heroes, and the character designer is Utako Yukihiro, who also did some work for B-Project.
The story concerns a cafe with a myriad of eccentric employees that runs an after-hours service where they solve problems. The exact nature of all this is left pretty vague.
And the draw for a game like this: The characters! Interestingly, they're divided into different departments at the cafe. What exactly those departments do isn't clear yet. As for the characters themselves--the more we looked at them, the more we liked them, lol. Quick summaries about what intrigued us about each guy. Note that these are not translations, none of us are fluent in Japanese (we all know just enough to get by with the google+jisho combo lol), and this should all be taken with a grain of salt.
The Main Office, consisting of Ai Kosaka, Yuzuru Kise, and Roka Suoh. (Names are listed in western given-family order because that's what the site uses for romanized names.) Roka is the one who owns the cafe, is the oldest character in the bunch at 36, and is that fun "mysterious guy with unknown backstory and an endless amount of weird acquaintances, who acts incompetent but might actually be hypercompetent" type of trope.
On account of the whole acting-incompetent thing, Ai and Yuzuru run the actual cafe business. And normally I won't be including fullbody character art in this post but I have to make an exception just this once.
Anyways.
Tumblr won't let me put four images in a row. Come on man. I wanna maintain the BMC's site style. Why are you mean to me. Anyways. The Simulation Department, consisting of Kou Ayato, Mao Ukyo, Akehoshi Hinomiya, and Yuragi Kanno. "Simulation" is its English name given on the site, but the Japanese given would probably read more like "relationship department".
Kou is a footloose playboy and Mao is a serious intellectual type, but apparently Kou will ask Mao to pretend to be his girlfriend so that he can avoid trouble with women. That's gay. I love that. (Mao is a guy [as far as we know], he just likes makeup--he's not the only one in that cast who does, either!) We all want Mao's outfit.
Akehoshi was a sleeper hit in the group chat, because his bio has a sentence about how he's the most normal-looking-yet-dangerous employee at the cafe, and also explicitly describes him as being like a dog, and naturally we all went crazy for the silly puppy as soon as we realized that he was in fact a silly puppy. Yuragi, on the other hand, likes cats. Such a classic for his character design trope, lmao.
The Administrative Department, consisting of Taiga Tsukimoto, Haruhi Ichikawa, and Sei Okiya. Taiga looks cool but if you look at his fullbody he's wearing awful sweatpants and apparently he cries while watching anime. I love this for him. Haruhi is a streamer because that's like an obligatory character trope now I guess. Sei was very popular in the group chat for being the single most suspicious character in the cast. What's his problem.
The Watchdog Department (or enforcement department, if you translate the jpn) consists of Shizuka Fushimi, Takeru Mikado, Soyogu Shinkai, and Shinobu Aizawa.
My friend described Shizuka as a "wet looking glasshole" and yeah. ok. unfortunately he does look like that. But it's ok he's allowed because his bio says he prefers quiet, orderly places with plants and no people and keeps to himself in common spaces but his own room is a complete mess. AKA he's an autism king. So I like him.
Takeru was obviously a hit because look at them. Takeru and Mao talk about makeup together, apparently. CUTE! Shinobu is the most fashionable guy in the cast and his bio says he has a few screws loose, which is amazing. Good for him. I have nothing to say about Soyogu I think I forgot he existed until I was putting this post together and I only looked at these all guys a few hours ago
The Negotiation Department, with Kiho Arima, Kyoya Shido, and Riku Tateshina. I described this group as "grandma, grandpa, and Columbo" and then the group chat couldn't call any of them anything else. And I do mean grandma. Because. ok. another fullbody. Because oh my god we have to look at Kiho.
GIRL. WHAT. IS. THAT. YOU'RE WEARING A CARPET. YOU'RE WEARING A COUCH. kiho is apparently a fortune teller and my friend acted as if this excused the outfit but i DONT agree i don't think anything excuses this. WHAT IS THAAAAAT
Kyoya is an artist and Riku is a psychologist so honestly this is a really fun bunch of jobs going on in this department. Riku is described as someone who falls in love easily, and he's most interested in Ai (from the Main Office, the very first guy in this post). We couldn't tell if the implication there is that he's in love with Ai, or if he falls in love with random people and yet his true attention always drifts back to Ai. Both of these options are gay.
The ST (special tasks) Department, with Yomose Onda, Yu Nina, Kamiya, and Urara Manami.
Yu had his life saved by Tomose and has now dedicated himself to him, to the point of being ready to die for him. YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT. INCREDIBLE TROPE. UNBEATABLE. GAY AS HELL. All we know from Tomose's side is that he's "fond" of Yu. That's fine I'm sure you can learn to love him. Or learn to hate him. Whatever's more entertaining.
Kamiya has no memory, hence the singular name. I'm sure whatever's going on there is weird and interesting. Urara is the youngest character, at 20. THAT'S RIGHT. THE YOUNGEST CHARACTER IS 20. THERE ARE ZERO TEENAGERS! THE AVERAGE CHARACTER AGE IS AROUND 26. THIS SHOULDN'T BE AS NOTABLE AS IT IS BUT THAT'S GACHA GAMES FOR YOU. Anyways I like Urara because I think he looks like an angry kitty.
Anyways, that's the gist of what we know about BMC--or BreMai, if you wanna go for something closer to the jpn abbreviation--right now. More info might drop at/around Animate Girls Fest, since they seem to be giving out game beta codes there. I don't know if I'm completely sold on it just yet--coly did just have a detective-themed gacha game fail a few months ago with &0. But we're not even completely sure it is a gacha yet, or what kind of gameplay it might have otherwise, so... there's a bit of hope. Maybe it'll be a weird cool dark rhythm game! Who knows!!!
