posting here with a lil more detail: my current thoughts on the Charisma House main characters :3
I was drawn to Rikai IMMEDIATELY - one of his songs was actually how I discovered the whole series agshdj (it was this one :3)
I will say that I REALLY don't like the imagery in the MV for his character song, though... the fascist/Imperial motifs and imagery is gross, concerning, and deeply unfortunate, considering that's not part of his character in the actual series :[ but his role as the big brother / caretaker / order-keeper of the house is AMAZING and I love him for that (also, I just love his silliness. his opinions are - at times - a little... different from what I believe, but he's adorable about them, just due to how much conviction he holds)
however... I think that the absolutely BANANAS behaviour that Iori presents has solidified him as my current fave?? or possibly tied with Rikai, since both guys are kiiiind of concerningly relatable? ^^; (don't look too much into that lol) I think he could go about things in a better way (ex. not forcing his housemates to sign his slave contracts sghddk), but I do think that he's also absolutely adorable, and very sweet and silly. also, I NEED HIM TO LOOK AFTER HIMSELF OMGG
Terra, my pretty lad, has SUCH good vibes?? like, he's incredibly vain, yes... he is the Charisma of Self-Love, after all! but he isn't horrible about it, somehow? he's also SO clever in how he convinces people to do things his way, especially Iori and Sarukawa ^w^ also, the gender envy is so real with him, omgg...
and Amahiko is so supportive, it's actually adorable!! the way he acts is at times REALLY gross, and waaaaaaaay too forward (like that scene in the shower with Sarukawa... eugh), but he's surprisingly sweet at other times? idk. he's a TOTAL perv, but also... quite nice. and SILLY!!
and Ohse... hooooooooo boy. I adore this man. he deeply concerns me, and his behaviour genuinely scares me, but he's also just... so lovely. he's shockingly talented and creative, so caring, clever, and seems like he could be really fun to be around. y'know, if he didn't keep trying to... well, remove himself from existence all the time :( (side note, his songs SLAP)
then comes Fumiya... because I cannot figure him out for the life of me! he's an enigma in my mind, with the only descriptors in place being "VIBES" and "kinda babby, tbh." he confuses me otherwise, though... which suits his Charisma, actually??
lastly... Sarukawa Kei. that obstinate man would be a NIGHTMARE to be around. he needs to contradict every single thing, which - unless you managed to work around it, like Terra did - would be SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING AAAAA. plus, with the amount of first aid that that boy needs on a near daily basis... oof. he does care for his housemates, though, which is REALLY sweet. that makes him significantly more likable, but not really more tolerable to me, unfortunately. he can do as he pleases, I suppose...
