Day Eleven - Favourite Hello Happy World Character

i'm going to apologise in advance for the length of this one,,,,

before i even played bandori, i though that:

• the concept of a bear/mascot being a band member was interesting and way too funny to not like.
• & the ikemen girl in that white day card was a literal angel who i HAD to have.

while i was interested in other aspects of the game, these girls were the reason i started playing this game!

i love misaki. i don't really like tsundere characters in general, they just aren't my thing. but misaki feels like an actual person who just happens to fit into the straight man role a lot. she works so hard to make hello happy world work, by interpreting kokoro's ideas, writing their music, booking their shows, keeping the michelle act alive, herding all of these cats into a functioning happy disaster, the list goes on and on! she didn't have to stay with harohapi, but she did despite her misgivings. and it's a good thing she decided to stay considering how much she's grown and enjoys it!

and then the beautiful birthday girl herself! i've loved kaoru from the beginning for purely shallow reasons - she's so handsome and pretty, and is absolutely hilarious to watch! but she's also so kind, and wants to help those around her grow into stronger people! i find how she puts on an act for everyone really interesting and honestly the "fake it 'til you make it" is pretty relatable. i wish that they could explore kaoru's character 'behind the mask' a little more - it would be nice to see craft egg take her and the sanbaka more seriously.

i love these girls so much and find it impossible to choose between them. thank you bandori so much for the really great characters c':
