Snowflake Challenge #8: Beloved Character
Jan. 23rd, 2025 12:29 pmIn your own space, write a promo, manifesto or primer for a beloved character, relationship or fandom.
Obviously, I have to talk about Jyushi Aimono from Hypnosis Mic.
He was a difficult character to decipher during the time of his debut in 2019. He was officially described as a narcissist, and his occupation was stated to be a vocalist in a visual kei band. On paper, he read as a stereotypical 18 year-old brat. However, his first drama track appearance proved him to be otherwise, and it's what made me truly love him.
His first few lines in the track introduce his habit of talking in a confident and grandiose way, similar to the way chuunibyou characters typically act, but he soon begins to speak in his natural voice. It immediately becomes obvious that he is timid and anxious in actuality, and he speaks in a much higher, softer voice. The "chuuni" persona he puts on is just a front, allowing him to appear more confident than he is. But, why does he do this? Basically, he has a tragic backstory.
CW for bullying, character death, and suicide under the cut. Also, spoilers for the BAT manga!!!

To me, Jyushi's appeal is that he is determined to persevere despite his past hardships continuing to trouble him. He also wishes to better himself, so he doesn't have to be so anxious around new people and can rely less on others. Of course, he has a very cute design and personality going for him, too. He is known for being kind, and he is generally upbeat when he isn't feeling self-conscious. Overall, I find him to be a very relatable, comforting character.
