“And that’s all I really have to say about the Season 2 Love Hime trailer. I really wish it would come out sooner but you know you can never rush perfection with these creators. Thank you for listening, this is ChiefMeganeManyu over and out~!” Onoda said as he waved good-bye towards the camera. He had recently created a vlog on his account that had to do with anime reviews and reviews of figurines he had purchased in Akiba. His favorite videos to do were the Akiba hauls where he would describe each of his purchases in detail. Sure he may not have a million views or be the most popular vlog to follow but he still had a following of three hundred people which was enough for him.

 “Hmmm…what to do now...” Blue eyes behind round glasses soon fell on an object of interest and a smile lit up on his face, “I suppose it has been a while since I’ve practiced.” Onoda said as he pulled out the bright yellow electric guitar that was sitting by the amplifier next to his shelf full of manga.

 He then plugged the guitar to the amp and turned it on before strumming a few chords and taking in the sound. “Alright then.”

 Onoda grabbed a remote off of same shelf and aimed it towards the music player. Immediately the sound of the first season opening song to the anime Death Note, also known as The World by Nightmare started. As soon as he heard the singer Onoda Sakamichi began playing along. As he played the otaku boy rapidly moved his head along to the music and smiled joyfully as he let the song overtake his body as he played. As soon as the guitar solo came up Onoda immersed himself into it tilting the guitar up, fingers moving rapidly across the neck hitting every note with precision. It had not been an easy song for him to teach himself but Onoda thought that the result was well-worth it. In the course of those few minutes the song came to an end and Onoda sighed as he turned off the music player and then stole a glance at his web camera only for his eyes to widen, “Ehhhh?!?! I forgot to turn it off!”

 ---

 “Hime, hime~!” Onoda sang as he rode on his bike to school. He honestly hoped school would fly by fast today, he wanted to get home in time to edit the video he had made last night. ‘Stupid, stupid, stupid…you just had to forget to turn your camera off!’ Onoda mentally scolded himself as he pedaled faster before managing to find a place for his bike and heading inside.

 Luckily, it seemed like none of his classmates had really watched his livestream, not like Onoda had expected them to. There was no anime club at the school he attended…well there had been one…a long time ago, but due to the lack of members it went to bust and because of that Onoda had secretly made it his life-mission to reestablish the anime club by the end of his first year. He strode down the hall and checked the sign-up sheet next to the poster he had made and sighed. Nothing.

 ‘No one has come forward still huh?’ Onoda thought dejectedly. He let out a wistful sigh and then stared at the clock in the hall, ‘Hmmm…I’ve already eaten lunch…I probably have enough time to go to that place!’ the otaku smiled to himself as he turned in the opposite direction walking down the stairs and making a left turn before sliding the door open. ‘Yes! Unoccupied!’ he thought as he sat his stuff down in the corner and made his way into the empty music room. ‘Maybe I’ll feel a bit better if I play something.’

 He picked up the guitar that was innocently sitting in the corner. I wasn’t like his electric guitar at home, it was just a regular acoustic guitar but that was fine with Onoda, the strings were the same. “I just need some music.” Onoda said and pulled out his music player and started searching, “Aha! Here we go!” he placed the volume down and started playing the Love Hime opening song. It was one of his favorites although he wished the guitar was an electric one so he could do the guitar solo in the middle of the song…but an acoustic cover would have to do for now.

 As he was just getting to the second chorus the sound of a door sliding open interrupted the otaku who jumped at the sound and almost dropped the guitar as a red-haired boy barged into the room and stared at him with wide eyes.

 Onoda quickly fumbled with his music player, turning it off before scooting away from the guitar, “S-s-sorry I didn’t think anyone was using this room!”

 “YOU!” the redhead shouted and ran towards him grabbing Onoda by the shoulders, “I found you!” he said with a wide grin and cocked his head over his shoulder, “Hey hotshot! I found our guy!”

 “Eh? Wh-what?” Onoda’s eyes were wide with confusion as the redhead kept a grip on him.

 “Keep it down will you?” Onoda glanced over at the door noticing a tall dark haired boy walking in with a rather serious expression on his face.

 “U-uh…” Onoda was at a loss for words. Sure he had dealt with bullies in the past but none of them involved physical confrontation to this level. “I-is there something wrong?”

 “Huh?” the redhead cocked his head in confusion, “Why would something be wrong? We finally found you!”

 Onoda frowned, “F-found me? But I’m not missing!”

 The taller boy sighed, “We wanted to find you because of your video.”

 “My video?” Onoda cocked his head and his eyes widened, “Y-you mean my vlogs?”

 The redhead smiled, “Yeah! We totally saw your kickass vlog yesterday! Well, hotshot found it but then he showed me and we had to see you in person because we didn’t think it was real!”

 Onoda felt his body freeze up, “W-wait…yesterday? You mean…you saw me playing?” ‘Oh my God, I’m so embarrassed and here I was hoping nobody saw that stupid video!’

 “So…how long have you been playing?” the taller one asked him.

 Onoda scratched the back of his neck, “Ah…well since I was ten. My mom figured I needed a hobby other than anime and well, it always stuck well with me.” He said with a smile.

 “Kakaka!” Naruko cackled and pat Onoda on the back, “I like you already-um, oh right, never asked for name, oops.”

 ‘Figures no one would know who I am.’ Onoda thought resisting the urge to sigh, “Onoda Sakamichi.”

 “My name’s Naruko Shoukichi.” The redhead said and pointed to the taller boy, “The hotshot standing over there is Imaizumi Shunsuke.”

 “Ah, it’s nice to meet you both.” Onoda said giving them a polite smile, “So why did you come to look for me?”

 “Because we’re looking for someone like you.” Imaizumi said stepping next to Naruko, “Naruko and I here are part of a band but we’re one member short. We’ve been searching for a second guitarist and haven’t had any luck but then…I came across your video.”

 Naruko grinned, “You should have seen hotshot’s face when he saw you nail that solo!”

 Onoda felt his face turn red, “Oh my…um…it wasn’t that impressive.”

 “If that ‘wasn’t impressive’ then I want to see what ‘impressive’ looks like.”

 “Huh?” Onoda tilted his head in confusion.
