Since I got two asks about it, I figured I'd group both into a single post 😂
@michibikionmain @invispot
In general, I am a HUGE sucker for villainess isekai and just isekai in general too, tbf, but villainess isekai is like. My catnip (and also rando bg character isekai) lol
So this all came about because I saw the trailer for the anime adaptation of The One Within the Villainess and read the whole manga in two days, so it's heavily inspired by that particular villainess isekai. It'll probably morph more as I play with it, but for the moment that's the biggest influence.
So, the premise for TOWV is that the villainess character, Remilia, is aware when the transmigrator, Emi, takes over her body and is supremely touched by how much Emi loves Remilia. So when Emi's efforts to make a better life for Remilia get trampled on, Remilia takes back her body to get revenge.
Unfortunately, the manga is a f/m ending pairing despite how much Remilia loves Emi because heteronormativity, BUT this is my au and Kaito and Shinichi will have their own bodies by the end of it. BECAUSE my favorite BL isekai is Scum Villain and Scum Villain has convenient body growing plants 😂
SO! The idea is that Kaito is the villain(ess) character in an otome game that Sonoko forced Shinichi to play once and Shinichi just falls for his character. He adores Kaito (coughcoughcompetencykink) and is upset that no route has a redemption for him, despite the Big Bad getting one. Thus when Shinichi wakes up in Kaito's body, he is dead set on giving him a better ending!
Meanwhile, Kaito is absolutely confused about this spirit piloting his body, but he slowly starts to love and adore Shinichi because Shinichi is the first person to show him love in this au. Basically he is low-key yandere in this au (the LBH influence--)
For the most part, atm, it's fairly straight forward, except for the fact that Kaito gets a mana stone to grow Shinichi a new body, rather than a mushroom like SVSSS 🤔
It's still in the beginning stages, since I'm still figuring out characters and how closely I want to stick to TOMV, but yeah! It's been in my head the last few days, because a protective Kaito who'd fight gods for Shinichi, who acts a certain way because that's how Shinichi acted as him, who calls himself Shinichi's Kaito?? Yes please 😋
So after a whole day of walking around Tropical Land to learn how to flirt and plan a date, Kaito was the guy who captured Shinichi's heart!? He was the guy Shinichi thought was the coolest!!???
⛲Because of Kaito, Shinichi thought the fountain was the most romantic place⛲ but ended up never going with Ran on that night...Kaito ended up showing him a more romantic location - on the rooftop with fireworks 😭~~~
I want to see Shinichi describe this cool guy to KID leading to some... drama...some anger and jealousy from KID~~~
✨Kaito is the effortless romantic and Shinichi falls for it hard but gets shy and annoyed because he couldn't think of or initiate those cheesy lines and date plans.... Shinichi then realises he likes to be in the receiving end....
Them always meeting on a full moon in vol.0...🌕
🧥Also Kaito wearing the same outfit as Shinichi during black star. He probably saw Shinichi run away in embarrassment and couldn't get him out of his mind...to the point he walks around the street wearing the same outfit hoping to see Shinichi again....
Why is it that when Kaito wears it, it feels more masculine? Probably just the art style from that early episode but still----
Is vol.0 considered the prologue? The PROLOGUE IS KAISHIN???
We were talking in the group chat about “what other profession would Kaito have?” and we threw around “voice actor”, “actor” and “idol”.
And after hearing those options I thought “well that’s just Miyano Mamoru” so I looked up one of his concert fits and drew Kaito in it and added a Kaito Kid colors variant.
He isn't sure why people are being so nice to him today and giving his stuff but he has a new book and Ran is making his favorite so he doesn't mind (He forgot it's his birthday...again)
