![]() ![]() (Why?)Īnime openings truly are magical, aren’t they? The excite us, inspire us, and stay in our memories for years. You expect My Dress-Up Darling like a lot of people did when starting this. You expect plot/romance progression, and are bored by "mindless" fluff. You expect strong character development. (seriously Hachimitsu alone makes this show worth watching) You are looking for a chill slice of life show to just laugh and turn your brain off to. ![]() You could say that this is a gender-reversed romcom, but that'd be mostly wrong - Shikimori herself is just as feminine 90% of the time, when she's not protecting Izumi from whatever tried to kill him that day. At the same time, he's also not a deep layered character, he's a run-of-the-mill romcom MC - but his only "fault" is, again, that he is more feminine than masculine. He's nowhere near the cringy loner MC that starts stuttering whenever a girl enters his line of sight, if like me that is what you first imagined when you heard the rumors. Other than that, he's just a regular, social guy with a small group of friends that includes his girlfriend. Whether it's the MC's mom inadvertently seducing her son's girlfriend or Hachimitsu delivering her deadpan one-liners, each of them made me look forward to watching the show every week just as much as the main couple.Īnd regarding the elephant in the room, Izumi - the male MC who I'm sure you've heard negative things about at one point or another before reading this review - his only "fault" is that.he's not very masculine. If I had to give a rating to the supporting cast alone, it would be as high as a 9.5/10 - even if you're less invested in the couple for one reason or another, every moment the side characters are on screen is a joy to watch. If you truly enjoy these types of shows, then Shikimori has it all - a huge amount of cute couple moments, a vibrant color palette, high school shenanigans, festivals, and most importantly - a fun supporting cast, consisting of both a group of friends with high chemistry between them, and surprisingly alive and kicking parents, whose interactions with the main couple are often even more fun to watch than the friends group shenanigans. It's simple - because Shikimori succeeds at fulfilling that exact purpose with flying colors and ![]() Its whole purpose is to give you a dose of fluff. The premise is very simple - an extremely unlucky boy has an extremely cute girlfriend who can switch to "cool" mode and be his knight in shining armor when his bad luck strikes again, and a group of friends who they both hang out and do mundane things with. It features the same main aspects as regular mori boy, simply featuring darker color palettes.I'll start by saying this - Kawaii Dake ja Nai Shikimori-san is a fluff romcom. However, a small substyle of dark mori boy does exist, and a few images of this variation of the style can be found. Mori boy does not feature many substyles, being a substyle itself. No makeup is required but in some images various wearers can be seen wearing some light makeup, however nothing bold or immediately noticeable.Ĭommon accessories for mori boys are boots for hiking in the forests, large knit scarves, hats, such as newsie caps and bucket hats, and satchel-type bags. However, unnatural colors and bold styles can also be worn if they match the natural aesthetic. Hairstyles for mori boy are generally natural colors and natural cuts. Patterns like patchwork and plaid are also used.Ĭommon themes amongst outfits are the use of faux and real fur, an abundance of knit sweaters, over vests, and baggy pants, natural fabric, pants. Some brighter jewel tones are popular, but are always tempered with more toned-down shades. Mori boy fashion focuses on primarily natural colors and fabrics, with neutrals and earth tones being popular. ![]() It also features various amounts of layering, with some outfits featuring many layers, and other featuring only 1-2 layers. However, uniquely, it features less delicate details, such as less lace, and more practical elements. Similar to mori girl, mori boy clothing focuses on a whimsical and natural look. ![]()
