uuu... a new bandwagon? yes please. here's my favorite cards of my top 3 best girls. honestly, it was REALLY hard to choose for each of them, since all 3 of them have absolutely stunning cards!! catch me here looking at 2 cards trying to figure out which one to choose in the end-

and now time to ramble about them aka potential essay time oops (inhales)

i really love rinko's wego card because it's... so rinko? the "proudly independent wizard" is so perfect because she's out here trying to get out of her comfort zone and not be so quiet and shy like she usually is - or, in other terms, mature herself just a little bit, and gather more confidence.

the reason i chose valentino's rinko is, well, because she looks amazing. the untrained is really cute, and i love the cupcake she's definitely making for ako. her trained is also really tea spilling and wig-snatching like HER EXPRESSION. HER OUTFIT. IM D E A D. also the first card story literally means "ako's favorite thing" and it just does a good job and showing how much rinko cares about ako; new year's rinko is one of my favorites as well, but i absolutely love valentine's rinko more

now... prelude rinko. oh Cowboy. everything in that card is just amazing - from her untrained, to her trained. her child version in the untrained is one of the most precious things in the world. she looks genuinely happy playing that piano, like, that's one of the purest smiles??? and her trained art just looks stunning - her alternate hairstyle, her dress - actually, her entire outfit not just the dress -, her expression, the butterflies next to her, the waterfall behind her that has a reflection of rinko's younger self, overall the entire background scenery of the card... it's just so amazing? i love it? this card just DESTROYED me when it came out and when i saw the leaks for that set. i was n o t o k a y sis. i also wanted to choose the new rinko 4*, her noble rose card, because i love the untrained and the trained so much, and again, this card absolutely snatched my wig as well, and like valentino's rinko, it does a good job at showing how much rinko and ako care about each other.

now! onto 2nd best girl, hina! wego hina, too, is just... so hina. i can HEAR her say "boppin'~" through the screen. all of the pixels that were arranged in such a way to form that one image manage to just yell "boppin'". and i. LOVE it. well, moving onto her outfit, i love her braids. i love them. hina in full-on braids is just so goog man. her bag, like rinko's, is very hina. the "genius" is literally what hina is - a genius. she's perfect at basically everything without even trying, and the fact her bag basically says this as well is perfect to me. also her skirt is pretty nice as well. love the shirt as well.

for cafe hina, there's really no scientific explanation for why i love the card so much, she's just really cute in it and also displays her personality well. that's it. also i like swimsuit hina too

for steampunk hina, there's also no scientific explanation behind it either, she just looks really pretty, really hina once again, and her untrained has her cry which was something new, even if her ch2 shows her almost crying (and they're happy tears, so) too. coming second are devil hina and twin star hina. they're both amazing cards, really cute outfits, good art, just good cards and i'm an useless lesbian

moooving onto 3rd best girl arisa now! cheerful star arisa is cute. that's it. this is my reason. i really like the cheerful star oufits ok

ch2 arisa is also really stunning, and i really love pretty much everything about this card: her expression in both untrained and trained, her outfit, the poses - yeah i love her. coming in second would be tanabata arisa - again, stunning card, amazing background and outfit, cute expressions for both card versions.. you get my idea

swimsuit arisa is STUNNING. GORGEOUS. her pose, the baCKGROUND. the WATER. honestly i love swimsuit outfits because they all look really amazing, like all the swimsuit sets we had so far have been really good. this is my dream 4* of arisa overall, and i'm glad she actually came home on jp aaa!! coming in second would be valentine's arisa and precious day arisa. you already know why at this point do i need to even say why
