Today Is 266 Days, We Are Still Alive. 🇵🇸🍉

Happy Birthday Matakara!!

so in every style savvy game there's a guy in it that wants to kiss you so bad. this guy does not exist in styling star. styling star is the game with a very obvious lesbian couple in it. it has just occured to me at 2 in the morning that there isn't a boy who wants to kiss you in styling star because Yolanda wants to kiss you

How Mahoro was initially presented in early promo materials and the first episode OP & ED

When Mahoro was first revealed, she was presented as this cute and peppy love interest character that you typically see in shoujo manga. And when I first look at her, I immediately thought she is kind of an odd duck due to the delinquent-like setting BUCCHIGIRI?! is.

The promo teaser even showed a split second shot of her just being the cute character who would give the main characters some motivation (well just Arajin lol). This of course made me fear that she would be a plot device that would cause a shitty ass love triangle.

OP and ED gets a bit weird in this. When she is presented in the OP, all of the guys (sans Kenichiro and Marito) are immediately taken aback by her. In the ED, all of the main guys are dancing with her, have few shots of them getting ship teased with her and when she did the heart hands thing, all of them are immediately charmed by her.

(Wish I could include all guys being heart handed by Mahoro but I want to put in more photos)

But in the main series? Nope. None of the guys except for Arajin (obviously) really like her or are close to her. And that’s because underneath her cute appearance, lies a selfish and toxic girl who only wants her brother’s attention only. And by doing so, she ‘dates’ guys in hopes that they become the new leader of Siguma and have Marito step down so that she can have him all for herself.

The Siguma members relationship with Mahoro:

- Outa is seen being exasperated by her fangirling antics in the first episode.

- One of the mooks commented that Mahoro dated guys 24 times all so that they can be beaten up by Marito, satisfying her brocon fantasies (which in truth they’re ’tests’ to see if they can beat her brother or not)

- Hagure is shown to be intimidated by her and kept running in circles while being behind Jabashiri’s back in the second episode.

- Jabashiri hardly noticed, much less pay attention to Mahoro.

- Marito is the exception since he is the older brother but even he has limits if the face he made in the second ep is of any indication.

This even applies to Minato Kai as well:

- Kenichiro, Kamao and Zabu doesn’t know her yet but in the case of the latter two, they probably know her in passing but otherwise they hardly paid attention to Mahoro.

- Matakara does but he dislikes the way she is manipulating Arajin for personally selfish reasons. When he tried to confront her, she straight up ignored him. When he did it again but with force, she screeched like a siren and ran off.

But with all that said, let’s take a glimpse of Mahoro’s character:

- Presents herself as a shojo manga-esque character.

- But in actuality, she’s a massively unhinged brocon.

- toxic and manipulative. All it takes is using a hand heart sign and guys would immediately be ‘motivated’ by her.

- Is known to go out with guys but has never really shown any care about their personal lives (if her actions in 1st and 3rd episode are of any indication)

- morally selfish but not downright evil. Just selfish.

- can fight back if she wants to.

- doesn’t care about anyone other than her brother.

- hates being touched by other random guys who tried to question her.

- ignores people who tried to confront her about her motives.

I know that I’ve made quite a few posts about Mahoro but she strikes me as an interesting character despite her actions in today’s episode but at the same time, I do hope that she at least have character development along the way, have a backstory that explains why she is the secretly toxic and selfish brocon that she is today and last but not least not thrown or sidelined into a unconventional damsel in distress.

Anyways, peace! ✌🏻

peg art dump :3

thinking… senya’s pin(???) is in arajin’s head yet both arajin and senya are more emotional… while ichiya’s pin is by matakara’s heart despite ichiya seeming more calculating… what are they cooking 🤔

kubrick stare syndrome

Not to be 10000% negative and cynical about but why do I feel like at some point in BUCCHIGIRI?!, Matakara just suddenly snapped at Arajin in a future episode. Like he just gets fed up with Arajin’s rude and distant behaviour and just straight up calls him out.

Gods, it would be so devastating not because of the angst potential, but the fact that despite being reunited with his childhood friend (well sweetheart lol), Arajin just keeps brushing him off, ignoring him, and chasing a girl who is clearly using him for selfish reasons.

And then suddenly, Arajin suddenly blurted out that it’s because of the guilt that he couldn’t protect Matakara during their childhood and that he broke their promise, complete with Arajin just breaking down.

Matakara would be shocked but disappointed that this is what kept Arajin back? Well, he understands but Matakara would walk out. He wouldn’t say anything but the look of his face is just…disappointment.

If Nintendo wasn't a coward then Style Savvy: Styling Star could've had an afterstory where Alina and Yolanda heard a rumour that Camilla was going to propose to Rosie and they wanted to see it in person and you had to give them disguises so you dress Alina in bold clothes and Yolanda in lively clothes and Camilla and Rosie go to a fancy restaurant for their date and Yolanda and Alina are sitting a few tables away and Rosie sees them and is like "Alina and Yolanda what are you doing here" and Alina is like. "Uh. I'm not Alina. I'm. Alana." And Yolanda says "And I'm...Jolene." And Rosie is fooled by this and says "oh sorry lol" and continues her date and Camilla doesn't propose and Alina and Yolanda go DAMMIT I guess we were wrong. And they go back to your boutique and are like "We shouldn't give up that easily" and you give Yolanda a gothic outfit and Alina a feminine outfit and Rosiemilla's next date is at an amusement park and Rosie sees them again and goes "Huh. You know I have two friends that look just like you, but the one with long hair likes feminine clothes, and the one with short hair likes gothic clothes" and they're like sweating and going "HUH YEAH WILD" and then they get the hell out of there while still being in the amusement park and Camilla doesn't propose again and they go "That was too close. We're not trying that again." And then Rosie shows up to your boutique and goes "I need a really nice girly outfit for my next date with Camilla" and you can choose to do her makeup and hair too if you want and then on their next date which is in a more private place which Rosie invited you to third wheel to she gets down on one knee and proposes and Camilla of course says yes and then Yolanda and Alina show up in your boutique again and you go "guess what" and they go "NO WAY" and it culminates in you picking out two white party dresses for Rosie and Camilla for their wedding
