Death Row Block

[Yuriko:]

These corpses won’t analyze themselves. 

[Kanon:]

Another experiment reaches completion. 

[Akihisa:]

The final hour of our sentence draws near. 

[Seiji:]

Criminals wait for no one in this world. 

[Leaders:]

So let’s go!!

[Wicked Requiem:]

The family bonds that prove we belong 

[Yuriko:]

For them, I’ll gladly rush your death along 

[Kaoru:]

A bond gifted by the gods is lifelong 

[Kanra:]

It’s for them that I’ll stand strong 

[Silent Tragedy:]

We won’t apologize for any of our crimes  

[Kanon:]

My revenge, no matter the cost, I’ll get it in my lifetime 

[Reika:]

I’ve risen above all the blood and grime

[Sakura:]

It’s a long way to the top, even now, I still climb 

[Death Row Block:]

To survive, we’ll go in for the kill 

[Akihisa:]

Death awaits, but I’ll face it with an iron will 

[Touya:]

An urge to stab, I won’t stop till I’ve had my fill 

[Rintaro:]

You call our crimes insanity, but I call it looking for a thrill

[Valor Guard:]

Even in our worst moments, our courage never fails 

[Seiji:]

Every criminal, I’ll send them all to jail 

[Lyall:]

Justice for those who, even in death, still scream and wail

[Ayumu:]

No matter the pain, we will prevail 

[Fatal Four:]

Shoveling away old-fashioned rules

Sometimes we doubt, are lost and struggle

Winning a bracket, I'll make you say sorry

I'll look down on you from higher than ever before

Shoveling away unreasonable rules

Sometimes we doubt, are lost and struggle

Winning a bracket, I'll make you say sorry

SayUmu (Sayaka Miyuki x Ayumu Hayami)

First to Confess: Ayumu. After months of mutual pining, it was the Paramedic who made the first move during that one special Christmas the two of them would never forget.

First to Apologize: Both. Neither Sayaka or Ayumu are people who tend to hold a grudge over little things or even big things as long as there’s a reasonable explanation, they rarely fight and on the off chance they do, it always usually ends with the two apologizing at the same time.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Both. Sayaka and Ayumu are so well loved in their respective communities, they’re the best at their jobs and they’re the two people in the D.R.B. with the least controversies tied to them along with the fact that they’re really likable people.

Best Caregiver: Both. Being single parents, the two of them are experts at treating sicknesses and injuries their children would get but Ayumu has more medical experience due to his career as a paramedic so he’s more equipped to handle more severe situations.

Does The Cooking: Sayaka. Cooking is one of her passions and she feels so much fulfillment providing food for her loved ones, it only boosts her confidence hearing her children and Ayumu praise her cooking.

Does The Housework: Both. It’s a shared partnership that Ayumu and Sayaka tackle the housework by splitting some chores in half, Ayumu wouldn’t listen when Sayaka insisted she could also take care of the housework and now both of them tend to make a game out of cleaning the house together, laughing and spending quality time as lovers.

Speaks The Most: Sayaka. Even though they’re both the outgoing extroverted type, Sayaka tends to be more chattier than Ayumu, always going off onto ramblings that deviate from the topic at hand much to her embarrassment and Ayumu’s amusement.

Overprotective One: Ayumu. It’s only natural given his line of occupation and his experience with past relationships but Ayumu is quite protective over Sayaka, only wanting her to be safe and happy.

Designated Driver: Sayaka. She always picks her daughter up from school and now that she and Ayumu are together, nothing much has changed, she knows how tired he gets in the mornings so she’s willing to drive him anywhere he asks.

Has Good Penmanship: Both. It’s required for their jobs to have eligible handwriting but both of them have good penmanship due to their wealthy upbringing.

Most Relationship Experience: Ayumu. He’s had multiple one off relationships in his youth that ended all the same as his partners only got with him for his wealth whereas Sayaka only had a few flings and one serious relationship with her last husband that ended with his death but since getting together, they both can safely say that this relationship is the best they ever had.

Subtle To Changes: Both. Ayumu and Sayaka are empathetic people and are used to detecting when something is bothering others, it’s no different when it’s the two of them, in fact, they’re so in sync with each other’s emotions that it’s almost scary.

The One Who Proposes: Ayumu. Much like with the confession, it’s Ayumu who takes the next step and proposes to Sayaka after he realizes that she’s his soulmate and he truly wants to spend the rest of his life with her. In fact, the thought of marriage has crossed his mind more and more recently.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Ayumu. As much as the both of them hate thinking such dark thoughts, especially Sayaka, but when it comes to it, Ayumu would risk his life with no hesitation if it mean that Sayaka and their family are safe and sound, and he would have no regrets.

SeiMi (Seiji Tsukimoto x Miho Tsukimoto)

First to Confess: Both. It absolutely took each other by surprise but after their valentines night together and learning that they were going to be parents in nine months, it kickstarted their relationship with the two confessing their feelings at the same time.

First to Apologize: Seiji. He’s not the type to drag on an argument and he’s willing to be the bigger man and apologize to Miho regardless of whether he or her was in the wrong.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Miho. While she and Seiji are respected in their own rights, Miho ranks above him due to her wealthy status and career as a respectable and admirable female CEO.

Best Caregiver: Miho. Seiji has a bit of an advantage over her as Miho doesn’t take care of sick people often but she’s an expert on how to care for a person when sick or injured, which is to be expected for someone who owns a medical and healthcare company.

Does The Cooking: Miho. It’s a surprise to know that a wealthy woman like herself who can afford private chefs takes upon cooking her own meals but Miho finds satisfaction in providing for herself and now that she’s a wife and mother, that feeling has multiplied tenfold as she insists upon cooking for her family.

Does The Housework: Both. However, the responsibility often falls onto Miho who wants to take some weight off Seiji’s shoulders as he works hard to support and provide that the least she can do is make sure he comes back to a nice and clean house.

Overprotective One: Seiji. Without a doubt, he is very protective over Miho and always has a hand on her lower back whenever they go out together, Miho knows that his behavior stems from not only his job but his past of losing many loved ones so she doesn’t mind.

Speaks The Most: Miho. It’s quite literally half her job to speak on the daily with conferences, meetings, and phone calls with investors.

Designated Driver: Seiji. While both of them know how to drive and has driven one another to and from places, it’s usually Seiji that takes the wheel most of the time plus the fact that he drives a police car for his patrols.

Has Good Penmanship: Both. It’s crucial for both of them to have good handwriting as required for their respective jobs.

Most Relationship Experience: Both. Albeit in different ways, before his marriage to his first wife and then eventually Miho, Seiji had numerous flings and one night stands from his younger years. On the other hand, Miho herself has been married (and divorced) twice before meeting Seiji and is very determined to make her third marriage her last one.

Subtle To Changes: Miho. She cares about her loved ones very much and if she notices that something is wrong or bothering them then she would like to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.

The One Who Proposes: Seiji. He wasted no time proposing to Miho on her birthday while she was still pregnant with their twins, not because he felt obligated to marry her because of her pregnancy but because he truly loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. (She said yes, obviously)

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Seiji. Without a shadow of a doubt, if the situation is dire enough to call for it, he would unflinchingly sacrifice himself for Miho and no amount of begging, pleading, and screaming from her would stop him.

LoKa (Lola Takahashi x Reika Aichi)

First to Confess: Both. Much to their amusement and delight, the two of them confessed to each other at the same time after spending an evening together and a few glasses of wine.

First to Apologize: Both. If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t bother apologizing and most likely to continue holding a grudge but Lola and Reika love and respect each other too much to let any fight or argument come in between them and their shared history so it won’t take long for one or both of them to apologize.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Lola. It’s no surprise given that she’s a world renowned model as well as a successful businesswoman with her fashion brand and nightclub whereas Reika’s popularity lies more on the infamy side due to her controversy with her late husbands.

Best Caregiver: Reika. Believe it or not, she has experience caring for injured or sick people before, usually that person being herself. Plus, with her being so knowledgeable about posions and having a teammate who is a scientist and doctor, she has an extensive knowledge about the human body.

Does The Cooking: Reika. Both ladies can cook and have hired chefs to cook for them but more often than not it’s Reika who’s in the kitchen preparing their meals and Lola has stated that she prefers the socialite’s home cooking than any five star restaurants.

Does The Housework: Lola. To anyone’s surprise, she has experience housekeeping and cleaning up due to her past at the brothel and those habits were so ingrained to her that she never kicked them even after becoming rich and famous.

Overprotective One: Reika. She has lost a lot of important people in her life and has accumulated many enemies who wish to hurt her in any way they can, including targeting her loved ones. Lola knows this as she goes through the same thing and does not mind at all Reika being protective over her.

Speaks The Most: Reika. She spends all day talking and chatting to her fellow nobles and socialites at parties and galas, when she’s not doing that then she’s making speeches at her fundraisers and charities.

Designated Driver: Lola. She absolutely loves driving and the freedom it brings so obviously she can and will drive Reika anywhere she wants or simply just take her out for a nice cruise around town, either way they’re together and that’s all that matters to them.

Has Good Penmanship: Both. With their careers and the sheer amount of checks they right, it’s only natural that their handwriting is immaculate (and hard to replicate).

Most Relationship Experience: Both. Is it really that surprising to know these two are very experienced with relationships when you look at their dating history? Before getting together, Reika had five husbands and Lola was a serial dater whose relationships never lasted longer than two weeks.

Subtle To Changes: Lola. She’s a lot more perceptive than people give her credit for and she’s very in tune to how Reika feels, if she notices that Reika is being off then she will do whatever she can to comfort her.

The One Who Proposes: Both. On Reika’s birthday, after having a wonderful dinner and spent the night together tangled up in the sheets, Lola proposed to Reika right after only for Reika to pull a reverse and proposed to Lola after the latter’s proposal. Their wedding is due in a few months.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Both. Lola and Reika love each other too much and too dearly to let the other die so if push comes to shove and they’re at the end of the line, at least they’ll go down together, as true lovers.

KaiTou (Kaiji Sano x Touya Kisaragi)

First to Confess: Both. After being in a friends with benefits relationship for a while, Kaiji and Touya decided to take their relationship to the next level by confessing their feelings for each other during the Couples Pageant that took place a few years ago.

First to Apologize: Touya. Fights rarely happen between them and Kaiji could never be mad at Touya for long, Touya however cannot bear to have Kaiji’s ire being directed to him and will even apologize to him despite the argument still being fresh, he’d rather die than to have Kaiji ever be angry at him.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Kaiji. In terms of both popularity and charisma, Kaiji takes the win, for one, he’s not an infamous death row inmate and two, he’s got a whole corner of the internet dedicated to him. To say that he’s well loved is an understatement.

Best Caregiver: Both. Kaiji has experience from caring for his younger siblings as well as volunteering at his father’s hospital from time to time while Touya’s experience was self taught mainly on himself but since getting together with Kaiji, he’s gotten better at providing care and support to his loved ones, mainly their son.

Does The Cooking: Kaiji. The last time Touya tried to cook, he nearly burned down Kaiji’s penthouse, now Kaiji is teaching Touya how to cook with various degrees of success not to mention it’s a cute bonding moment between them and Kaiji’s chat whenever he decides to stream cooking with “Momoka”

Does The Housework: Touya. What he lacks in cooking, he makes up for it tenfold in housekeeping, he and Kaiji obviously split the chores but Touya finds himself calm and at peace when he’s cleaning, it’s therapeutic for him and makes for a good coping mechanism when things get too much for him.

Overprotective One: Both. Aside from being yanderes with severe mental instability, they’ve both been burned and hurt before by people they thought that loved them so in turn they’re very attached and protective towards each other so that they won’t be hurt again.

Speaks The Most: Kaiji. By a long shot as that’s literally his occupation to sit and talk for hours per day to the point where he does it effortlessly, it’s a great tactic he uses to calm Touya down from panic attacks.

Designated Driver: Kaiji. As Touya lacks the education to obtain a license and isn’t even allowed to drive in the first place but Kaiji doesn’t mind, he enjoys driving Touya around in his car.

Has Good Penmanship: Kaiji. Again by a long shot as Touya is still in the process of pursuing an education, sometimes Kaiji helps him by practicing his literacy and penmanship.

Most Relationship Experience: Both. But unlike Touya, Kaiji has been in actual relationships where the two parties are equal.

Subtle To Changes: Both. Being together for so long and so intensely in love with each other, their feelings and emotions are nearly synchronized together so it makes it easy for either of them to tell if something is wrong with the other.

The One Who Proposes: Kaiji. After a year of dating, Kaiji took the plunge and proposed to Touya on their anniversary, the two would go on to get married of November of 2025.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Both. They refuse to entertain the thought but they would absolutely lay down their lives for each other, they genuinely can’t live their lives without each other.

RinHa (Rintaro Himura x Kureha Koizumi)

First to Confess: Rintaro. Which took both of them by surprise but after agonizing over it for weeks, Rintaro came to the conclusion that he wants Kureha to be more than his fuckbuddy, he truly loves and cares about her and wanted her to know that. She accepted his confession much to his shock.

First to Apologize: Kureha. She hates confrontation in the first place and is definitely not the fighting type, her and Rintaro don’t fight at all actually but even if they did, Kureha will bend the knee first and apologize.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Kureha. For obvious reasons but despite her antisocial nature, she’s much preferable to the public compared to her boyfriend.

Best Caregiver: Rintaro. He raised his sister while still being a kid himself and that includes nursing her back to health whenever she fell sick or patching her up when she got hurt, that gentleness and genuine concern absolutely applies to Kureha too especially when he saw that she doesn’t take care of herself when sick.

Does The Cooking: Both. It’s a team effort and collaboration, a fun one too as both like to trade recipes and cook together, in fact, most of their dates consist of cooking together and eating their well earned meal during a movie.

Does The Housework: Both. Just like with cooking, cleaning up and doing housework is a collaborative effort with the two of them splitting the chores down the middle and playing into their strengths in order to make a clean house.

Overprotective One: Rintaro. By a lot, it’s not even funny how protective he is over Kureha, he’s quite literally threatened to seriously harm and even kill people who poses as a threat to her and their relationship, Kureha gets flustered by it every time, more flattered than horrified.

Speaks The Most: Kureha. Surprising, yes, but due to Rintaro’s reputation as a criminal and terrorist, he tends to stay out of the public’s eye whereas Kureha is a renowned artist and often attends art shows, gallery events, and auctions which requires a level of talking and conversation.

Designated Driver: Rintaro. As Kureha can’t drive and her main way of transportation is by train, however, with his insistence, she has gone on multiple motorcycle rides with Rintaro since the two of them got together.

Has Good Penmanship: Kureha. Which seems obvious as she is an artist, dabbles in poetry, and has perfected her signature for all her works.

Most Relationship Experience: Rintaro. He is way more experienced from having past flings and one off relationship that never really lasted long whereas Rintaro is Kureha’s first ever boyfriend and relationship, what they both have in common is that they’re each other’s first real serious relationship.

Subtle To Changes: Kureha. Call it an artist’s intuition but she’s always been perceptive to changes in people, especially her loved ones and Rintaro is no different, she always lets him know that he can come and talk to her any time if something is bothering him.

The One Who Proposes: Rintaro. Much like his confession, his proposal comes as a complete and utter shock to Kureha but she agrees immediately after the words leave his mouth.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Both. They love each other too much to let the other die and even though they will fight each other tooth and nail for the other to survive, if they go, they’ll go together.

Disaster Poly (Lyall Shiba x Joey Kurusu x Kaoru Shinozaki)

First to Confess: Lyall & Kaoru. Despite being together, the two of them confessed their shared attraction to Joey after they abducted him on his birthday, Joey, who was hopelessly in love with both of them, accepted both of their confessions.

First to Apologize: Joey & Kaoru. Joey hates fighting with his partners and will cave in pretty fast just to ease the tension, Kaoru can’t stay mad at Joey for long and usually forgives him after a short time. Both of them absolutely hold grudges against Lyall and will team up against him to give him hell.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Lyall. Joey & Kaoru don’t even compare to his popularity, the man has retired from the entertainment industry for years now and his fanbase still hypes him up like crazy.

Best Caregiver: Joey. After caring for his sick sister right up until her demise, Joey still retains those skills and has no qualms about caring for his loved ones whether it be his mother or his partners, especially his partners as Lyall & Kaoru are absolutely horrible at taking care of themselves.

Does The Cooking: Lyall. In fact, Joey & Kaoru are absolutely forbidden from entering the kitchen after last time it nearly ended with nuclear warfare so Lyall is in charge of any and all meals the three of them have.

Does The Housework: Joey & Kaoru. Since the two of them are not allowed in the kitchen, Lyall has them clean up the house to keep them out of trouble while he deals with making the meals, it goes about as well as you expect especially when the two decide to make a game out of it and bet each other.

Overprotective One: Lyall & Kaoru. Their overprotective behavior stems from their obsessive tendencies and they’ve directed it all towards Joey, the two of them agreed to keep him safe and protected at all times, even if it means having to dirty their hands even more.

Speaks The Most: Lyall & Joey. Being more extroverted and well liked than their girlfriend, Joey and Lyall tend to do the speaking regardless of any setting and whether or not they’re on the clock, there have been numerous of times where they’ve been bouncing off each other for hours in conversation.

Designated Driver: Lyall & Joey. These two absolutely refuse to let Kaoru anywhere near the wheel, they’re very familiar with her atrocious driving style and have forever delegated her to being the Backseat Princess for the rest of time.

Has Good Penmanship: Lyall & Joey. Lyall, aside from having a writer for a father, had developed his good handwriting from years of signing autographs while Joey developed his handwriting from forging other people’s signatures to cash in fraudulent checks.

Most Relationship Experience: Lyall & Joey. Both men have a track record when it comes to relationships and not very good ones at that but between the two of them, Lyall has the bigger body count with all the flings, one night stands, and FWB relationships he had (including his two current partners) before getting together with Kaoru and Joey.

Subtle To Changes: Joey. Out of the three of them, Joey is the most emotionally intelligent and aware, he isn’t as bad about his feelings as the other two and he’s dedicated to helping Lyall and Kaoru as best as he can.

The One Who Proposes: Lyall & Joey. Neither of them were aware of the other’s proposal and Kaoru was completely blindsided by both of their proposals, despite polyamorous marriage not being a thing in Japan, the three of them still make it work without a flimsy piece of paper.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Lyall & Joey. More so on Joey because he would risk anything for the people he loves, including his own life, meanwhile Lyall would risk his life to stop Joey from risking his life because he knows if Joey is gone then he would never recover.

MalADA (Masuzō Shinomiya x Ageha Shinozaki)

First to Confess: Both. Really it was Malphas who confessed first when A.D.A cornered him finally after being ghosted by him far back in their Rivals With Benefits days, he admitted his feelings for her when she pressured him enough, fully expecting to be rejected and their situatuonship to end right there only to be shocked when A.D.A pulled him into a kiss and confessed that she had feelings for him as well.

First to Apologize: A.D.A. It’s quite literally in her nature to defuse any and all conflicts that rise up and it’s no different with her relationship with Malphas, fights are rare between them, serious fights even more so when on the off chance they do happen, A.D.A can’t stomach the feeling knowing that Mal is mad at her leading her to seeking him out and apologize.

Most Popular/Charismatic: A.D.A. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who dislikes A.D.A, she’s a kind, compassionate, and lovable person who always goes out of her way to help others not to even mention how stunningly beautiful she is, magazines with her face on the cover always sell out fast and despite being married, she has quite a few admirers who are infatuated with her.

Best Caregiver: Both. Which is no surprise when you take into account that both of them are highly advanced and intelligent A.I’s made by two of the most brilliant minds of their generation…who also are absolutely terrible at taking care of themselves so not only are Mal and A.D.A are knowledgeable on taking care of human beings but they are very equipped to do on the ground maintenance on themselves, each other, and other A.I’s.

Does The Cooking: Both. The two of them know over 1,000 recipes from all over the world to recreate and make for their creators but when it’s just the two of them or for their family, A.D.A takes the reigns in the kitchen but does allow Mal to assist her from time to time.

Does The Housework: Malphas. With A.D.A busy cooking and taking care of the kids, the responsibility of housekeeping falls onto Mal which he does so without complaint knowing that his wife does more than enough to care for their family. As expected, he’s good at housework as well and the family appreciates his work on keeping a clean house.

Overprotective One: Both. They’re both androids whose purpose is to protect their loved ones and defend them from any potential threats no matter how small but Mal and A.D.A go about doing it in different ways with Mal taking a deadly yet aggressively efficient approach while A.D.A focuses more on defense and taking the person she’s protecting away from the danger, this obviously applies to each other when threatened.

Speaks The Most: A.D.A. Aside from her job requiring her to be expressive and talk to fans, photographers, editors, and her manager, A.D.A is just a naturally extroverted woman who enjoys engaging and connecting with others, that includes talking and making conversation unlike her antisocial husband who tends to scare people away with his resting bitch face.

Designated Driver: Malphas. In fact, he’s put a ban on A.D.A from ever getting in the driver’s seat of any vehicle, her driving is absolutely horrible and no amount of teaching her would make her improve, believe him, he tried many times but he’s long since given up and now he takes her to anywhere she goes when asked, whether it be in the car or on his motorcycle.

Has Good Penmanship: Both. This is more due to them being highly intelligent A.I’s than anything but with their respective careers as CEO and Model, it’s expected of them to have perfect handwriting.

Most Relationship Experience: Malphas. Whereas Mal is A.D.A’s one and only relationship, Mal has had many flings and one off relationships before his marriage to A.D.A, his last relationship ended on such a sour note that it came as a surprise that he started dating again and to the android made by his creator’s rival.

Subtle To Changes: Both. While Mal can sense changes due to it being programmed into him, it’s really A.D.A that’s the more emotionally intelligent out of the two but no one can deny that these two know each other like the back of their hands, if they feel like the other is plagued by something, they will offer their love and support for as long as they need.

The One Who Proposes: Malphas. He proposed to A.D.A after they moved in together, they had been dating for a while when it quietly hit Mal that this is what he wanted for the rest of eternity, a loving, domestic life with A.D.A and after getting the rings made, he proposed to her on their anniversary to which she tearfully said yes. The two of them got married on his sister’s birthday and have been happily married ever since for two years.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Both. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts, these two would die protecting each other but thankfully there hasn’t been an accident or event that would cause them to go down that route. Yet.

KyoMu (Kyoka Hojo x Akumu Soukoku)

First to Confess: Kyoka. It would take a while as she comes to the realization that she likes Akumu more than just a friend but when she does, she would waste no time making her feelings known to him which made Akumu flustered beyond belief but very happy to know that she reciprocated his feelings for her.

First to Apologize: Both. These two never had a fight before but in the scenario that they did, they wouldn’t be mad at each other for long and they’ll apologize to each other before the day is over. Akumu would feel too guilty about hurting Kyoka and Kyoka’s anger would fade into sadness quick at the thought of Akumu being angry at her.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Kyoka. By a wide margin, she’s way more easy to approach compared to Akumu and naturally, she’s a more open and friendly person to be around with her cheerful nature while Akumu has a terrifying reputation around kids his age and even some adults too.

Best Caregiver: Kyoka. Due to being a clone of Kanon, her knowledge about biology and the human body is outmatched despite her age so she knows how to care for someone who is sick and/or injured, this heavily applies to Akumu who often visits for treatment for his…condition, Kyoka would watch her mother perform treatment on him and eventually became familiar on how to take care of Akumu when he got “sick”.

Does The Cooking: Kyoka. While she’s not at gourmet chef level, her cooking skills are good and she’s improving everyday, she loves cooking with her Aunt Reika and would always show off what she learned with either her mother or Akumu, both of them love her cooking and it makes Kyoka giddy every time.

Does The Housework: Akumu. He can’t cook, in fact, he’s not allowed in the kitchen without supervision but he’s great at cleaning up and doing housework due to living with Max in his cabin, he’d also help Death Row Block with cleaning up their house whenever he comes over to visit.

Overprotective One: Akumu. It’s no contest that between him and Kyoka, he is the more protective one with him glaring and threatening anyone that comes close to Kyoka or that he feels have bad intentions towards her, he would have one hand touching Kyoka while his other is always on the handle of his dagger whenever they go out.

Speaks The Most: Kyoka. Akumu can go days without speaking and never notice until someone points it out which makes sense given that he’s a novice assassin but Kyoka is a happy go lucky girl who loves to talk and learn and ask questions about anything that captures her interests, it’s one of the many things Akumu loves about her.

Designated Driver: Neither. Both of them don’t know how to drive nor are they legally allowed to but Kyoka could always learn on her own if she wanted to.

Has Good Penmanship: Kyoka. Again, this is due to being Kanon’s copy and that includes having good handwriting that is neat and eligible to read, way better than Akumu’s chicken scratch.

Most Relationship Experience: Neither. They are each other’s first ever relationship and if Akumu could have it his way, their last.

Subtle To Changes: Kyoka. She’s way more aware and emotionally intelligent than Akumu and she knows him far too well for him to hide any changes or burdens plaguing him so if she sees him upset then that’s when she becomes aggressively optimistic and won’t leave him by himself until he feels better which unironically, always works much to his amusement and Kyoka’s delight.

The One Who Proposes: Akumu. This wouldn’t happen until far into the future where the two are of age but Akumu would take the plunge and propose to Kyoka in a place that means a lot to the two of them or in the woods where they had a picnic date, Kyoka would tackle him screaming yes before he could get the words out.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Both. Akumu more so given his protective nature but Kyoka refuses to let anything harm him ever again if she had anything to say about it.

JiMire (Jiro Yamada x Sumire Shinomiya)

First to Confess: Jiro. Sumire tried to beat him to it but her nerves got the better of her, leading to Jiro just as shyly confessing and asking her to be his girlfriend to which she agreed after a bit of prompting since she was so caught off guard that he actually returned her feelings.

First to Apologize: Jiro. Don’t get me wrong, both him and Sumire would hold a grudge over it for a bit, the two of them are quite stubborn when one is in the wrong but after a bit of reflection and perhaps a talk with his brother, Jiro would apologize first, knowing that no argument could be worth his relationship.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Jiro. He’s more well liked amongst people his age and despite being a bit of a delinquent himself, he doesn’t have nearly an extensive criminal record like Sumire who is on first name basis with the entirety of Japan’s police force.

Best Caregiver: Sumire. Even though she’s bad at taking care of herself and taking breaks, she’s a lot more attentive to Jiro and his needs whenever he’s sick, she gets hyper focused on nursing him back to health all while mumbling under her breath about how “this wouldn’t happen if you’d just listen to me”.

Does The Cooking: Sumire. She’s improved a lot with her cooking especially now that she’s living on her own with her androids who teach her how to be self sufficient, now whenever she invites Jiro over, she cooks meals and snacks for them to enjoy together.

Does The Housework: Jiro. He’s exceptionally good at cleaning from both doing odd jobs and from Ichiro getting him and Saburo to help him clean their apartment almost biweekly, he jokingly calls Sumire lazy for having machines clean for her instead of doing it herself.

Overprotective One: Both. Jiro is protective of Sumire in the way a normal teenage boy is protective over his girlfriend by getting other guys to back off when trying to flirt with her. Sumire is protective of Jiro in the way that she is paranoid that someone will use or harm him in an attempt to get to her.

Speaks The Most: Sumire. Jiro talks a lot too but Sumire meets with a lot of people almost daily on top of running a cyberterrorist organization so she’s almost always in conversation with someone even if she doesn’t want to.

Designated Driver: Sumire. She’s not legally educated on how to drive but she does know how to drive by being self taught plus she made her own means of transportation with her aircraft so technically she’s not on the road according to her own twisted logic.

Has Good Penmanship: Sumire. Despite what her lab notes may have you believe otherwise, she actually has good penmanship when she’s doing regular handwriting meanwhile Jiro’s handwriting is barely legible enough to be able to read.

Most Relationship Experience: Jiro. They weren’t actual relationships more so just Jiro trying to find where he is on the scale and being curious about his sexuality, they at most lasted a few days before sizzling out and he came to the conclusion that he liked girls and boys equally.

Subtle To Changes: Sumire. This comes almost naturally to her as she is quite perceptive and normally has an easy read on people, Jiro being no exception, in fact, it’s not far fetched to say that she knows how Jiro is feeling before he himself could identify it.

The One Who Proposes: Jiro. It would be very reminiscent of their confession with him beating Sumire to the punch before she could get the question out herself. In a perfect world, the two of them can be together in peace and perhaps look back on their wild, crazy teenage years and laugh together.

The One Who Dies Protecting The Other: Both. In a sense that they’re both too stubborn to let the other sacrifice themselves, not wanting to lose the other half of their heart, but they’ll be damned together if they’re not gonna put up one hell of a fight to try and live.

SabuAiko (Saburo Yamada x Aiko Shinomiya)

First to Confess: Aiko. Let’s be honest, she had been in love with Saburo since their first meeting and becoming friends while also getting closer to each other has only caused those feelings to grow, so after getting the courage and encouragement from her sister in law, she went to go find Saburo and confessed to him to which he stuttered his way into agreement.

First to Apologize: Aiko. She absolutely hates fighting and seeing the people she loves upset even more, she actually goes out of her way to avoid conflict and if she can’t then she will immediately disengage the situation and apologize, devoting herself to making it up to Saburo even if he was in the wrong.

Most Popular/Charismatic: Aiko. Even with all his intelligence, Saburo lacks the social skills or emotional maturity that Aiko has in spades, his tendency to insult people or compare them to his brother pushes them away while Aiko is well loved by many due to her kindness and respect she has to even strangers.

Best Caregiver: Aiko. One of her core features as an android is to care for the sick and injured and even if she wasn’t an A.I., she’d still be more effective in taking care of people than Saburo, she quite likes it when she does take care of them whenever he comes down with an illness or gets hurt due to his older brother’s recklessness.

Does The Cooking: Aiko. She does most if not all the cooking for her family on top of knowing over 1,000 recipes to recreate and make, this applies to cooking for Saburo for when he comes over to hangout, it never fails to fluster him every time but it makes his fondness for her grow even more.

Does The Housework: Saburo. Much like his older brothers, Saburo is exceptionally good at keeping the house clean, in fact, his room is the cleanest place in his family’s apartment and he prides himself on the fact that he’s a very clean and neat individual plus he figures that he could help Aiko with at least something since she takes care of everything else.

Overprotective One: Aiko. It’s in her nature to defend her loved ones from danger but even though Aiko doesn’t seem to acknowledge it, her protectiveness stems from a deep part of her that clings to Saburo because he makes her feel normal and not perpetually stuck in time so whenever she perceives a threat against him, she gets desperate to protect him at all costs.

Speaks The Most: Aiko. She’s very chatty and talkative, most of her and Saburo’s online calls consist of her talking his ear off when he’s doing work, hacking, or when they’re playing a game together. One would think that Saburo would be annoyed with her constant chatter but surprisingly, he actually likes hearing Aiko talk and gets moody and upset if Aiko goes silent.

Designated Driver: Aiko. Despite not having a license or a vehicle to drive with, Aiko does know how to drive and operate a car but due to her (physical) age, she isn’t allowed to legally drive yet but that doesn’t stop her from taking Sumire’s aircraft and flying over to Ikebukuro to pick Saburo up to hang out (which gives him a heart attack every time to see a spaceship outside his window but he supposed it’s better than to have Aiko carry him while she flies around with her wings)

Has Good Penmanship: Both. Saburo has exceptionally good writing for a 14 year old boy and for Aiko, it’s natural for her to have good penmanship as she is a highly intelligent A.I.

Most Relationship Experience: Neither. They are each other’s first relationship but Aiko was nervous because she wasn’t like other human girls and she feared that she was not giving Saburo a “human experience”. When hearing this, Saburo scoffed and reassured Aiko that he preferred her over any human girl his age because she understood him better than most, even his own brothers.

Subtle To Changes: Aiko. There’s really no point in anyone, Saburo included, trying to hide their feelings from Aiko, she’s scarily good at pointing out any changes in a person’s demeanor or what’s going on in their head. She has no malicious intent behind it, quite the opposite, Aiko lives to help the people she cares about the most and she’d do whatever she can to make them feel better.

The One Who Proposes: Aiko. In a future where both of them have matured and are ready for that sort of commitment, Aiko would be the one to propose to Saburo, even though he’s human and she’s an android who can’t age, she would still want to be by his side for the rest of his life, she knows what that would entail and she’d be ready for that commitment.
