[I'm-here-present]

Oh come on! Dont you dare Houki you are already receiving too much special treatment!
Give onee-san some time to shine!

[Akisa Akimune]

I must agreed. Let the *Cough* better *Cough* ones get the spotlight a lil' more.

Yes, I agree Tatenashi could get more fleshing

And corrupted into mindless hateful yandere blob, leaving Kanzashi as the winner

[genryu_black]

well i must agree that houki get too much spotlight so wish for the other than the 'main 5' to get more screen.

Houki didn't get 2 volumes worth of spotlight and 1 volume worth of fanservice

Just saying

BUt in the end all of those "spotlight" and "fanservice" only serves to bring down said character so that Houki can comes out the winner.

That's the impression I get from what you're talking, since I sorta dropped it when it start focusing too much on Houki.

[Akisa Akimune]

You're right, we must talk about Tatenashi, not Houki!
Do you prefer Okiura's Tatenashi or CHOCO's?

Both are really fine for me, but since CHOCO is the new artist now, I would say CHOCO.

[genryu_black]

in my opinion for the color version is CHOCO but as normal (black & white) i guess the Okiura.

[blitz1/2]

Okiura is definitely the better Tatenashi for me, seeing as she has that :"sempai" atmosphere but Choco definitely has the better Kanzashi.

[genryu_black]

@blitz1/2

for that i agree. especially the cover one.

[Akisa Akimune]

Hey, we talked about how she is strong, etc. But we never talk about her real name, Katana. Someone has an idea why her true name is a secret?

Not so much secret as... no one cared in universe

Tatenashi ditch her birth name the moment she became head of the organization. Considering people outside Organization that knew this as fact can be counted in one hand...

[I'm-here-present]

Tatenashi is the title given to the would-be head of the Sarashiki.
Ichika did imply that Tatenashi doesn't seem to be fitting name for a female.

[Akisa Akimune]

Hmm. In fact, it's the name given to all the Head of her Clan.

By the way, did you noticed that even if her chara has more developping -or more place in the story- we didn't see much of her background.

[ZeroXSEED]

Izuru can't into politic, trust me

Not that he's bad, but Izuru can't into 'enough', it's either 'too much' or 'too little'

Keeping her past mysterious holds extra appeal

[Akisa Akimune]

I see.
On a side note, Izuru had now destroyed one part of her appeal by making her an yandere when it comes to Ichika.
We already have Madoka for this position...

[demino_hellsin]

Incorrect, we had everyone else for this position.

[Fireminer]

Except Kanzashi.

[ZeroXSEED]

So as of Volume 9, Tatenashi keep being a dumbass, irresponsible, selfish piece of manipulative bitch

Color me surprised, at least other girl simply succumb to their primal instinct, instead of making elaborate plan that could easily get Ichika killed because MUH FUN

Really, as of this point Kanzashi is only hope of salvation
