My mad shipper fantasies, continued.
Otonashi Kotori
Kotori knows how to make a man feel special. Like static electricity, her femininity is subtle but attractive; it demands not just strength and assertiveness to make a good match, but also a certain sophistication. Vucub Caquix has the right mix of gentility and masculinity to show her a good time. They would go to a jazz bar for a drink: whisky soda for her, Scotch on the rocks for him… and if he’s very, very lucky, she just might sing a little something, too.
Kikuchi Makoto
Makoto can be surprisingly sensitive. Beneath enthusiasm and boyish charm, her heart says, “Appreciate me, reassure me, tell me I’m pretty and feminine!” Yi, who can read mood like a musician reads music, would know just what to do to make Makoto feel like a lady. They would go to a department store to model outfits, then hit the town for a night of club-hopping. If that sounds a bit pedestrian, just wait — The morning-after breakfast is going to be fantastic.
Miura Azusa
Azusa craves romance. Behind the fortune-telling and ditziness is a desire to fall truly, madly, deeply. It’s girlish and it’s hopeful, and for the right person, utterly irresistible. 8C, the great unsung romantic of the blogosphere, would find his dream in her: An older woman for a younger man, a lover of love to match a lover. He would take her on a drive to the pier, where they’d share a candlelit dinner, wait for sunset and ride the Ferris wheel, reaching the top just as the city lights go on.
Kisaragi Chihaya
To love Chihaya is to chase an invisible storm. The trick is drawing down the thunder, getting her to reveal the passion beneath her stoic exterior. With Akirascuro, she would find much-needed spontaneity, and he would find in her a massive wellspring of inspiration. They would go to a midnight concert and walk through Tokyo all night, warming their hands with hot drinks from vending machines while talking about life and love, until sunrise or the first train — whichever comes first.
And speaking of Akira… This next bit’s from him:
Minase Iori
“Iori is a girl of fine tastes. She’s also incredibly high-maintenance. She wants to be loved and pampered, and only the best can adequately address her needs. In return, she’ll shower her gentleman friend with unlimited amounts of love (and perhaps access to her trust fund). Wouldn’t she be a perfect girl for 2DT? He’s classier than everyone else around by miles, and he’s patient and caring enough to give Iori the love that she needs. She’s fun around people she likes, and her cheer and childish energy would further enrich his life.”
The final part of this series will be coming to you on Christmas Eve. Stay tuned!

That girl with the forehead is gorgeous.
December 22, 2011 at 3:07 am
Oh ghosty :3c
December 22, 2011 at 6:40 am
You have great taste. She’s one of my favorites!
(also watch the damn show, it’s really good)
December 22, 2011 at 11:11 pm
I know!
December 22, 2011 at 2:47 am
Aha, how cruel you are to reserve Miki to so late a chapter.
She will certainly be the question on everyone’s mind, if my measure of the community is accurate at all.
December 22, 2011 at 11:12 pm
These things have to be very calculated, when you’re doing a series.
December 22, 2011 at 3:06 am
You are far too nice to some of these people.
Also I temporaily lost some brain function when I saw Yi being shipped.
Please don’t construe this for my disapproval. I was dying of laughter.
December 22, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Everyone I’ve described so far is exactly who I think they are. What they are besides that is just a different kettle of fish, so to speak.
We are simultaneously awful and wonderful, drm. I just try to focus on the wonderful.
Glad you’re having fun!
December 22, 2011 at 5:22 am
Haha, you make sound as if I’m some sort of gentleman brute.
I love it.
Incidentally, that date sounds absolutely fantastic. Sharing cocktails in a lounge somewhere, the smell of ciger & cigarette smoke in the air, the sound of a piano in the distance, a conversation filled to the brim with thoughts on love & philosophy…
Mmm, I’m already there.
December 22, 2011 at 11:17 pm
The kind of brute who shows up on the cover of a romance novel, maybe. Sort of an “Oh my! You just happened to bust through my window while I was changing my clothes! Whatever will I do now?” … kinda thing.
You know?
December 22, 2011 at 11:59 pm
“Oh, Mister Vucub Caquix, oh!”
December 22, 2011 at 6:42 am
Kotori for vuc, classy choice. But 8c x Azusa takes the cake. I just melt trying to think about it~
December 22, 2011 at 11:24 pm
8C is really just a fascinating guy. He’s a raging pervert — absolutely no question there — but what people often miss is his powerful romanticism. He argues because he sees an ideal, and if you take the time to listen, it’s the most beautiful thing.
Azusa is the only choice.
December 22, 2011 at 9:52 am
Best ship this post is 2DT x Iori! Akira does have a point, you’re classier than anyone around.
Now to suffer the 2 day wait for the final post… Takane…
December 22, 2011 at 11:25 pm
He didn’t write a dream date, though. Boo!
December 22, 2011 at 10:12 am
Question remains… who gets Miki?!
December 22, 2011 at 11:26 pm
Who, indeed.
Stay tuned for the answer!
December 22, 2011 at 11:01 am
No dave x chihaya make dave very sad
December 22, 2011 at 11:27 pm
Oh, I know, and I’m sorry… I did think of you! I love your Chihaya love.
But there’s a hidden rationale. All will become clear soon!
December 22, 2011 at 12:20 pm
When I first saw the Iori pairing I vaguely felt it was wrong, but then I read the description and you know who else it sounds like it’s describing? Well, let’s say I think it’s fair enough (*blushes*).
December 22, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Oh? Well, you are a perfectionist in some ways, indeed… I never get tired of seeing what project you have next. Do you have an ample trust fund, lover boy?
December 22, 2011 at 11:53 pm
Sadly, no. My dad’s only rich enough to turn his house into a fake castle, not enough to go buy a real one.
December 22, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Obviously I also get Miki because I’m awesome like that :V
Honestly, while I personally like Miki the best, I think I would work out best with Chihaya. Miki’s a little too low-maintenance for me— I’d like a girl that I would have to take care of. Chihaya’s perfect. She’s sensitive and kind, but also moody. She is like an invisible storm. Love it.
Also, seeing your writing next to mine makes me realize how different our styles are, haha.
December 22, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Working out our frustration are we?
Wait. Am I getting exited by a post like that?
What is happening to me?!
December 22, 2011 at 11:34 pm
No two-timing.
I like our difference! You come across like someone who’s directly talking to me.
December 22, 2011 at 4:39 pm
WOooo another great one! Also love the pictures you went with.
Great choices for Yi, Vuc, 8C, and Akira!
December 22, 2011 at 11:36 pm
I love these pictures too. Bless the Idolm@ster Cinderella project for coming out with some beautiful shots of the main cast!
December 23, 2011 at 12:05 am
Aww…does this mean I can’t end up with Yi?
I really love how much thought you’ve put in to evaluating people’s personalities and then matching them. Very interesting, and I can’t wait to see the next batch! Thank you.
December 23, 2011 at 8:31 pm
Oh don’t worry Em. I can make time for you. ♥ Plus, you also have Hibiki. ^ ^
December 24, 2011 at 10:46 pm
You’re very welcome! And see above: No two-timing.
December 23, 2011 at 8:28 pm
OMG I love this series! The dates you have for everyone seem like such perfect fits. I could totally see vuc charming someone in a jazz bar, 8C the romantic in a ferris wheel, and Akirascuro just walking the streets. As for me, shopping and clubbing, and well… definitely. ^///^ That morning-after breakfast will be fantastic indeed. A bit sloppy, but delicious, and just the thing we need after a sleepless night~
p.s. Akirascuro is right. You are super super classy.
December 24, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Thanks Yi.
And thanks for reading.
December 24, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Lol I love how you were able to predict just what would each pair do when they are dating ;D
December 24, 2011 at 6:22 pm
It’s a gift.
