I have let myself gone a tad lazy for the past couple of days, I have been wanting to write an article about PVC figure aging based on suggestions from blogging comrade blowfish, but alas, I am still procrastinating over it because I have been mostly occupied by the news of Dolpa 22 and the new White Album Dollfie Dream releases~

A bunch of us in the flickr group have started to speculate over what Dollfie Dream might be coming out in the winter doll party, the first clue we had came about a little over a week ago when we found out about the White Album webpage that didn’t have any images on it at the time, however, as more information became available, the White Album Dollfie Dream were not due to come out in this upcoming Dolpa but instead a web order exclusive project similar to that of the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann DD Project.

Initially, I was very hesitant about the story of White Album after reading some online review about it, but my mind began to sway when I was presented with the project image…. these are some really good Dollfie Dream candidates… and at the very minimum, these idol style clothing would fit my Dollfie Dream daughters very well!  After a few more conversation with a few figure.fm members, I decided I have to at learn about Rina and Yuki despite the fact that I may not be very interested in the plot of the story (based on my understanding thus far, the main protagonist is a real prick…. all of the guys were real prick…, why… I want to read about some decent/hotblood guy doing his best, not a real prick getting involved in multiple women!).  Anyway, I have already decided to at least see what kind of girls 森川 由綺 Morikawa Yuki and 緒方 理奈 Ogata Rina are, then so be it.

I concluded the first part of the story arc with Sasara and Maryan sempai finally being able to make up, well it was more like Sasara finally being able to come to terms with reality.  This is a real turning point of the story, with Takaaki’s successful attempt at recreating the graduating ceremony for Sasara and Maryan to set things right.  Sasara had begun to grow fond of Takaaki, of course, without him realizing it all together!  Even though Maryan sempai was supposed to move to another school, she kept showing up every now and then and kept trying to hook up Sasara with Takaaki through out the 2nd half of the story!  I should also mention that most of the ecchi references came from Maryan sempai as well.

During the first day of the spring vacation, Maryan tried to setup a date between Sasara and Takaaki using a really obscure method, and ended up failing miserably because Takaaki didn’t have the required equipment to listen to her James Bond style cassette tape message XD.  She ended up having to call Takaaki’s house an hour later and threaten him that she had given the same message to Sasara and she had already been waiting for over an hour and that he had better get himself to the meeting point right the way otherwise she would wait on the spot indefinitely!  Takaaki knew it was a setup but Maryan left him with little choice because it was obvious that she intended for Takaaki to meet Sasara.

Ever since the announcement of Dollfie Dream Sasara by Volks a few days ago, I have assigned utmost priority to learn about Sasara’s story.  It’s funny that I have been putting it off for more than a year, and I know I have been wanting to do it but the announcement of DD Sasara gave me the final nudge in the back I needed to start another visual novel marathon.  I suppose this is my first Leaf game as well.

Kusugawa Sasara 久寿川 ささら ,is a new character introduced in the PC port version of the game, she is one year older than the protagonist Takaaki Kono.  Her arc is almost in sync with Tamaki’s arc but branch off about mid-way through the game.  Kusugawa Sasara appeared in game as an unapproachable beauty, the student council president, with a very cold demeanor towards others.  But the real reason she acted this way was because of her family background.  Her parents had been separated for some time, and while both tried to care for her and love her, they didn’t understand her at all.  Sasara wanted to be loved but yet all she got was pretended love, and in response, she pretended to accept her parents’ pretended love (oh my, that’s complicated).  This complex family problem had caused Sasara to shut herself out towards other, and not wanting to make any friends.

Sasara made her first appearance in game when Takaaki was stuck helping out with the graduating ceremony preparation for the student council.  He ran into Sasara on the roof of the school building when she was tearing off a piece of photograph.  Takaaki’s appearance on the roof surprised Sasara and caused one of the two pieces of the photograph to get blown away by the wind.  Sasara cried her eyes out while holding on the other piece of photograph tight.
