An energetic and hard-working boy, his goal is to become a cool guy.
The second person featured in this issue is Hibiya Wataru-kun. We interviewed him about his “Become a Good Man Plan,” as he works day and night, striving toward his goal of becoming a cool, admirable man.
The first effort in becoming a “good man” is his daily “good man check.” Whenever he finds role models of cool, admirable men around town or at school, he never misses the chance to observe them.
“Fashion should be stolen from stylish guys on the streets. That’s what magazines say, right? When I find a good-looking guy, I always make sure to take notes so I don’t forget.”
The notes he showed us were packed with information about all kinds of boys! It seems he even works on it during his days off.
“I bring my camera when I go out, and if I see a good-looking guy, I secretly take photos of him,” he says. He says he studies their fashion and mannerisms from those photos.
At school, Hibiya-kun is also quite popular with the younger girls. Rather than being “popular” in a romantic sense, though, it feels more like he’s being treated more like a source of amusement.
His second effort is information gathering in order to become a “good man.” When asked about his sources of information, he replied:
“There’s someone younger than me, but we share the same ambition of becoming a good man. His ability to gather information is seriously amazing. He often teaches me all kinds of things, so I consider him my mentor.”
It seems he has a very powerful source of information supporting him.
His third effort is his “Good Guy Textbook.”
“Books are really helpful for studying, after all,” he says. “I thoroughly read every issue of 'Monthly Good Man Life' and the 'Habataki City Complete Guide.' Oh, and of course I never miss 'Habataki Watcher' either. I buy every magazine that features Hazuki-senpai.”
It seems he especially focused to Hazuki-kun, who is known as the very image of a “good-looking man” at Habataki Academy.
He showed us photos of Hazuki-kun and himself, saying he secretly takes pictures of his seniors and imitates them. If you look veeeery closely, you’ll notice that they’re striking the same pose.
And his final effort is learning from his seniors.
“There are a lot of good men among the upperclassmen. It would be a waste not to learn from such great examples right next to me," he says.
It’s true that Habataki Academy is full of cool guys, but what kind of seniors are his role models?
“The wild Kijyo-senpai, the intellectual Morimura-senpai, and the beautiful artist Mihara-senpai, they’re all my mentors. I went all out and forced my way in as a disciple. But Hazuki-senpai is, after all, a professional model, so I feel like it would be too arrogant to call myself his disciple,” he says.
During the interview, we accompanied him as he went to show the results of his research to Mihara-kun...
Hibiya-kun is imitating Mihara-kun. Hmm… that outfit only works because it’s Mihara-kun wearing it, though…
The road to becoming a “good man” is long and difficult. Do your best aiming for the top, Hibiya-kun.
WAIT DID YOU EVER SHARE THE WATARU CARDBOARD CUTOUT ON HERE
NO ACTUALLY!!!! I HAVEN'T.... i should share wataru cardboard cutout with everyone... behold:
i made him with love 3 years ago... he's my pride and joy 💗 his colors have faded but my love for him has not...!!! if wataru has no fans i'm no longer alive
this was my first time making a cardboard cutout ever so it was pretty unsettling to have him staring at my every move from the corner of my room at first AHGDJAJDJDJDN but i quickly got used to his presence. now it feels so natural for me to see him every day LOL
i couldn't find a good full body art of him to print so i took it to my own hands to clean up the highest quality key art i could find and draw the rest of his legs manually.... have some WIP pictures
sorry for my inactivity!!!! i've been working on a big portfolio project for the past month, but i've also been ripping assets from tokimeki memorial girl's side 1st love in my spare time!!! it's been so much fun and has really given me a deeper appreciation for the game as a whole ;_; have some practice sketchbook stuff where i'm trying to learn to draw all the characters...
Tsukushi : "Sis. Have you been ignoring a guy lat-"
Yuu Otonari (tmgs2) version :
Gonna be honest, I've never been a big fan of Tsukushi and Yuu. Mainly because I found them kinda annoying at some point and the fact that the protagonist have endings with them (especially Yuu's second ending. We don't talk about that).
Again, maybe it's just me. I'm so sorry Tsukushi and Yuu's fans 😔 (if there's any)
HachiRai is an interesting couple as they look alike but they are not twins! I think how Raizou allows Saburou to “use” his face and how Saburou treasures Raizou’s face are very meaningful (●´□`)♡
