(long post fangirling over this nagi ad that i still can’t get over)
Legit died at this new campaign Nagi has with Alesion which is a company selling drugs for allergies?? At first I thought it was such a random collab but the promotion for it is genius from the start! Like you can just feel the love, passion and effort for Nagi behind this campaign! I’m pretty sure a die hard Nagi oshi was behind this or
ive conspiracy theory kaneshiro is heavily involved :p
The premise of this whole campaign is “凪でもできる秋花粉対策” (countermeasures against autumn pollen that even nagi could handle), they’re babying him right off the bat!! 😭
They first teased this collab by posting a video of Choki with Nagi’s voiceover complaining (very cutely) how its a pain being the main character in this campaign
Then they revealed the main photo they're using which is Nagi with his bruised nose from EpiNagi???? It's so cute I always thought it looks like a blush!
(off topic but this is something i’ve been ranting about. this scene is exactly what i mean by objectively, nagi’s just the prettier, cuter, and softer one between him and reo! its so emphasised pls. reo’s more handsome and princely looking, and his features and expressions are always harsher! its especially emphasised in the anime and movie!)
But anyway, apparently 50 lucky people might be able to win a clock with Nagi's sleeping photo on it, yet the voices it emits are Isagi's, Reo's and Chigiri's??? So its like they're waking Nagi up???? This whole campaign is just feeding into us AllNagi stans' fantasies!!! Like is he some BL/shojo protag where he gets woken up by many different dudes??? As a (bottom) Nagi stan I'M LIVING.
And thats not even the craziest (best) part. They then released a thread on "24 ways to drag Nagi out on his day off"??? Since the medicine works for 24 hours so now "even the lazy Nagi is able to tackle autumn pollen and you can bring your Nagi out too” (the way they’re objectifying him 😭)
AND THE SCENARIOS ARE WILD???!!! Some of them are SO SUS they’re really just feeding into my bottom Nagi stan brain 😭
24 ways to drag Nagi out on his day off
1. Carry him on your (Reo’s) back so he doesn't have to walk
(okay we starting off wholesome in typical reonagi fashion 💜🤍)
2. Drag him out by force
(wild this is considered tame in comparison to everything else)
3. Sneakily invite him out during a casual conversation so he answers "yea" in the flow
(bruh okay getting sus chigiri thats so manipulative wtf but also thanks for the chiginagi 👀)
4. Look straight into his eyes and plead
(why can i see niko actually doing this with nagi, but again emotional manipulation???)
5. Act spoiled and go "Let's go playyyy~~~"
(okay this is actually so bachinagi?? so cute! nagi is usually the baby but with bachira he becomes the more mature one)
6. Fairly and squarely, declare he has to go out if you (Kunigami) win at rock paper scissors (again, so kunigami i cant believe we getting some kuninagi interactions 😭)
7. Throw a tantrum saying "I want to hang out with Nagi!!" (wtf why are all of these so accurate to the characters?? this hits especially hard after the iganagi late night talk. its so cute how much igaguri wants to hang out with him 🥹)
8. Spread your (Reo) plans to hang out with Nagi to everyone to create a fait accompli (aka nagi has no choice but to go along with it like erm hello?? 😭 again so SUS with these manipulation but honestly this is pretty reo-ish, considering the tactics he uses when forming the hakuho soccer club and the whole trading meals with team mates to keep them bonded? man, reo is dangerous 👀😳)
9. Don't let him play games until he says "ok" (okay and now we're back to parental reo lol)
10. Forcefully hold him down and drag him out (?????? what??? so sus again??? isagi+chigiri x nagi??? i’m all for this 😳😳)
11. Push him out with a headbutt (lol finally barounagi and again, captures him and their dynamic so well i swear the mastermind behind this is a huge nagi otaku)
12. Sarcastically say you'll never invite him out again (pretty tame but isn’t it random that raichi's included and not rin?? the rinnagi gatekeep is real)
13. Mess around with him until he (Barou) yells "shut up!!" and kicks you both (ChigiNagi) out (most tame chigiri scene so far lol)
14. Carry him out while he's sleeping (WTF REONAGI KIDNAPPING ABDUCTION PLOT LITERALLY WRITTEN FOR ME HERE IM SO FED)
15. Lure them out with lemon tea as bait (cute, but see? the mastermind of this campaign knows about nagi and lemon tea it HAS to be an otaku!!! or KANESHIRO HIMSELF!!!)
16. Warn him that "if you don't go out, I'll confiscate your games" (why are rich men aka barou and reo always acting so parental around nagi lol this phenomenon needs to be studied)
17. Get him to treat you as an apology for a missed kick (okay kuninagi date)
18. Since he only ever plays games, give him a forced order to go out (damn the fact they even got EGO on this, come on where's rin??? just make him give him death threats or something! wait, is it because rin himself wouldn’t go out too?)
19. Offer to help him eat his meal as a condition for going out (this is quite cute actually, a nod to how nagi hates eating awww ;-; the isanagi ones are so wholesome ;-;)
20. Persuade him using difficult words (thanks for the zannagi but again, obscure character traits only actual bllk watchers/readers would know??)
21. Pester him until he thinks "refusing to go out is more of a pain" (why is everyone so forceful with him 😭 i like it tho 👀)
22. Chase him at full speed until he says "ok" (this is a nightmare, chigiri's speed??? why is chigiri so scary in all these?? first he manipulates him during a convo, then he forcefully restrains him and drags him out, and now he'll chase him at full speed??? 😭😭 im having a deeper understanding of chigiri i feel)
23. Tell him you (Igaguri) can't sleep from anxiety if he doesn't hang out with you (this is bullying at this point lol but kinda cute still)
24. Sulk with an eerily dark vibe (...we know kaneshiro loves when his characters make such insane unhinged expressions... kinda remind me of the ntr guy in super balls girl ngl...)
So like, CONCLUSION??? NAGI IS BASICALLY TREATED LIKE A KID, PET OR OBJECT PLS and I love it! I love sus shit like this directed at my fav. Also, this just feeds even more to my conspiracy theory it’s KANESHIRO who played a huge role coming up with all these cuz like, we know how he likes writing Nagi like this, objectified and all with the treasure and slave stuff 👀
Plus the surprisingly amount of focus on Igaguri which we know he likes, and Raichi?? Which I also feel Kaneshiro likes??? Also this medication is for allergic rhinitis right? Pretty sure he mentioned nasal rhinitis in like 314's chapter comments so like this dude is dropping HINTS.
Either way, I'M LIVING FROM ALL THIS. FED. THRIVING. THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD. I’m living for this whole “Nagi is the main character" experience!!!!
Whoever is the mastermind behind this (if not knsr), they deserve a pay raise and promotion for their passion, effort and creativity!!!!
The next addition to the campaign too, is Nagi being made to VERY CUTELY read out the stores involved in this?? In the end he was like "sigh I said ittttt" (so cuteeee good job babygirl 🥹)
