H: are you still feeling unwell, aira?
A: GYA?! CLOSE YOU'RE TOO CLOSE HIROKUN YOUR FACE IS WAY TOO CLOSE!
H: come on, aira, say "ah~"...i read in a book that one's health condition is visible on the tongue so i want you to show me yours
A: DONT GRAB MY FACE AND HOLD MY TONGUE
Lrt
Rinne: happy b'day lil bro's girlfriend~!!
Aira: like i said, i'm not his girlfriend. i'm happy you came to wish me but why do you always...
(opens gift and sees tomoe hiyori goods)
Aira: brother-in-law-sama...
Kohaku: rabu-han!! open yer eyes, rabu-han!!!
during the traumatic drive where aira nearly dies thanks to tatsumi's amazing driving skills
โ ๏ธ: are you alright, aira? should I lend you my lap to use as a lap pillow?
โฅ๏ธ: no need. i'll lose if i let you spoil me...
honestly what makes hiiai so good to me is that both are "foreigners" who come from places of isolation. and their relationship is about filling that void of loneliness using each other's company. hiiro often acts weird since he's unfamiliar with society. and that infuriates
sorry but i just wanted to say that not only did ciel do So Much for this fandom out of pure passion but she also went out of her way to do more than what was required, making the masterlist and everything, just to keep fandom organised and TLs easily accessible
i see a lot of new players get upset that anzu is female when imas and many other franchises has had male protagonists for ages and still do, yet no one complains. being able to choose your gender in games with a non-mixed cast is a very recent change and mostly only seen in +

LOOK I WAS CRYING SO I COULDNT MAKE IT PREETY BUT SINCE I'M STILL UNABLE TO SPEAK .....

Chapter 88
โ ๏ธ: aira, let's go
โค๏ธ: don't hold my hand. ppl will mistake us for close friends
VS
Chapter 191
โ ๏ธ: aira, let's hold hands
โค๏ธ: I feel relieved when hiro-kun is holding my hand
THE DEVELOPMENT! Hiiro learns to ask for permission first & Aira admits his true feelings
>lrts
Amagi Hiiro
- dislikes tatsumi & subaru stroking his head
- dislikes hugs from subaru
- refuses to change in front of hinata
Amagi Hiiro
- loves skinship & encourages aira stroking his muscles
- lets aira help him change clothes
- holds aira's hands & hugs him often
new thread for second half of the story!
and then, i ran towards the sky - ch 1
we open with tatsumi lost in a vast plain! tatsumi reasons that it couldnโt be a bug and thinks of the possibility that maybe the airship is for testing the individual strengths of the members
oh second half is the same length as the first...okay as usual, remember to mute me if you don't want livetweets over your TL (also please don't spoil me thanks!)
new thread for second half!
haha glad to know that JP hiiai fandom is also asking when hiiai got married since aira just. blatantly called hiiro "uchi no hito"...he could have gone for "uchi no hirokun" which is vague and can mean anything but no he just Had to pick what ppl call their husbands
it's seriously so funny how hiiro is dark and grim throughout the whole song then when it's time to hold hands with aira, he's like an eager puppy who has been waiting for that moment and flashes his brightest smile ๐ญ
aira, 2019: well, i wouldnโt say that iโm any goodโฆsince iโm an underachiever
aira, 2020: even if iโm called an โunderachieverโ, iโll keep working hard for my fans
aira, 2021: i wonโt say that iโm just a fan or an โunderachieverโ. because iโm already a splendid idol!
actually, a lot of all-female cast games do not let you separate yourself from the male protagonist either by forcing your username as the player name while in enstars, you can either self-insert or enjoy anzu's story as anzu so if you ask me, it's actually more comfortable
joseimuke games. while i do consider a gendered protagonist old-fashioned, remember that enstars is an old franchise released in 2015 and in anzu's case, she is a character tied in to enstars' prequelโengirls, an all-female game where her brother is the protagonist. +
i feel like people need to understand that translating isn't as simple as what gtranslate or deepl does. it's a creative form. it's a type of artistic skill. the way a fan artist has the right to choose whether to share their work or not, a fan translator too has the same right
just saw someone say that enstars gameplay isn't challenging because it's made for women just to make money and isn't supposed to offer any real challenge and.....don't tell me. do people really think that games...especially gacha games AREN'T made to make money???
well, if anyone does care about aira's character and how it's much more than him being quarter french, here's a short essay i wrote for an anon a while back
k: this is my request to you as your partner
k: donโt run away again, mikejima madara
k: โcause the one who can have my backโitโs no one but ya
aira who's trying so hard to fit in. but it remains that at the core, he's also a weirdo. he simply can't "fit in". so he can only embrace that weirdness and become an idol where being weird is the norm. it's about accepting that part of yourself that you find "ugly" and turning
so there's a reason you can't change her gender. no one's trying to be less inclusive here because while you play as anzu, you are simply roleplaying her position rather than using her as a complete faceless self insert. +
So...bear me on this one...
Aira probably isn't attracted to Hiiro at first. Aira has high standards for a boy. And it's not just about falling for a country boy, he genuinely cannot imagine it because Hiiro actually *isn't* his type. They aren't naturally compatible or whatever.
tatsumi: no intelligent person would try to cross such a bridge
kaname: ...then what if i am an idiot?
tatsumi: i like you when you are idiotic
kaname: ...
tatsumi: because even i am an idiot like you
okay in short, like he said, every member of alkaloid is facing a different way but they're all joined together in the centre despite being very different people who grew up in different ways and have completely different motivations. because deep inside, they're all similar.
h: fumu. that attitude...could you be himeru's friend?
j: friends...is a bit...yeah. but we're not total strangers either...but we're not really friends either
j: but of course, if you thought of me as a friend, i'd be naturally happy
CRIES
one thing that always confuses me is when people only want sweet and positive things in a story. it's 100% valid to be uncomfortable with things but i wonder why realistic portrayals need to get shot down just because they make someone uncomfortable

k: be it as idols or heroesโwhatever may it beโlet us become the version of ourselves thatโs most true to ourselves
k: letโs sing, madara-han
m: โฆthank you, partner
m: a strange bond formed by fate. it seems like my relationship with you is one that can still go on for longโ
today i realised two things
1) ppl forget that fanTLs aren't official. miwaku geki is miwaku geki. there has never been an official translation yet
2) enstarries THINK they know the meanings of words but they actually don't. enthralling and bewitching are literally synonyms ๐ญ
remember when aira said that he's uncomfortable sharing food he has tasted with anyone EXCEPT hiiro? noone even asked about hiiro. aira just HAD to say it. okay.
best hiiai of this event is that they actually voice their mutual admiration for each other Out Loud. this is set after feather touch & sweets box so no more sneakily telling others about how much they admire each other. finally they TALK TO EACH OTHER ๐ญ
and now you have ignorant people blaming her for prioritising her comfort when
1) it's her TLs. her content. her masterlist. her blog. and all were up for free. she doesn't owe you *anything*
2) she's the /victim/. put the blame where it's deserved. dont bash on her when she has
i've been holding back from saying anything for a while now @ MS 1.5 but sometimes i genuinely wonder why some people are into enstars if all they have are complaints lol
if you hate the direction the stories are taking, you can always leave dhskksls
// DREAM LIVE SPOILERS
maybe i've calmed down enough to talk about it (no my heartbeat is at 1000 per sec)
Aira: My heart is pounding so fast~!
Hiiro: You're right! Your heartbeat does seem to be faster
Aira: HYA! DON'T TOUCH ME OUT OF NOWHERE~?!
WDYM THIS IS CANON
it into something beautiful. which is what hiiro constantly does. he's weird but lovable. he still manages to find a place to belong, a home, right beside aira in alkaloid. aira asked him to stay beside him even though there were parts of him that he simply couldn't understand
