This was so pretty! This is "Keikoku" by Sheena Ringo as I see it because of synesthesia!

Nihongami: Hairstyles of the Karyukai - Tayuu, Shinzo & Kamuro

Historical Time Period: Mid-Edo Period - 2nd Half (1753-1789)

Hairstyle Name: Otoko Genroku (男元禄) lit. “Genroku Man”

     This hairstyle is different from its sibling style, the Onna Genroku, in that the topmost gathering of hair is styled in a tall, shaku-like pattern, compared to that of the female style. These hairstyles are a reference to the loud, flamboyant gender-fluid style of fashion during the Genroku period of Japanese history, a time when men and women dressed so alike you couldn’t always tell them apart on sight.

Taihaku: Keikoku, please don’t eat lava.

Saisei: Eat it and let us know.

Chinmei: It's made out of molten rock, it probably tastes bland and dusty.

Related to the last post: Shinrei from the manga Samurai Deeper Kyo has a mild form of Asperger’s Syndrome.

Shinrei is Hotaru’s half brother. Autism does have a genetic component.

He’s also show to be extremely rigid about routines and following the rules.

He doesn’t do well when there is any “grey” area.

Also, he’s emotionally awkward. He seems to understand them, but not exactly the appropriate responses.
