Materials: PS



Pretty detailed for a gashapon... but Maika is already a bit leaning after few days of receiving the set... they're not placed on a hot area but still... There's nothing to expect from a gashapon anyway. All in all, I love the set but lacking Ayumi is killing it all. Should have ordered 6 pieces of the gashapon.. during the time of purchase, I didn't mind the variant version of Yuri that's why I ordered it just 5 pieces of them. orz


Pink background really suit the set... didn't use ISO setting on this photoshoot. As one can see, noise is not visible.
Anyway, really don't know this anime yet cuz I dropped the show after few episodes.. I'll just let Mr. Wiki talk about each of the character's description. Gonna download the batch torrent of this show soon.




MAGIKANO
Summary ---
Haruo is an ordinary junior high school student who leads a peaceful life with his three sisters. One morning, he sees a cute girl across the street who vanishes in a gust of wind. From this point on, his peaceful life becomes anything but peaceful, as ordinary, boring days suddenly take a turn into chaos.
In the end of the story, it is revealed that since the elders can't contain the demon lord's (Haruo) overwhelming power, they have set up Hong?-sensei as the witch to cast the magic spell to reverse the flow of time, and makes the world repeat itself everytime the power is released. She will die each time the process is done because the power of the demon lord is so strong, and this will activate a replacement of her as it is also revealed she is a cyborg. (Taken from Wiki)


I lack Amamiya Ayumi the lead heroine. orz
Yoshikawa Maika [g앑] - Maika is the oldest sister of the Yoshikawa family. She can use magic, and loves cooking for her brother and sisters. She has long lilac-coloured hair, often tied back with green ribbons. She is very protective of her brother Haruo, and was immediately suspicious of Ayumi's intentions. The others often accuse her of having a brother complex, which is not entirely unjustified. As a toddler she subliminally brainwashes Haruo in his sleep by chanting "Big Brother and Maika together forever" repeatedly, and her usually caring and ladylike-personality is replaced by a possessive jealousy whenever any female tries to seduce her brother. When Ayumi, Chiaki, Yuri, and Fuyuno went into the time vortex (Thanks to Ayumi's Restricted passport) they went to find out why Maika loves Haruo so much. They inadvertedly went back to a time where Chiaki thought Maika called Haruo a Murderer. But, they were just rehearsing for a play. Then Ayumi and the others went back to the time when Maika was just an infant. Maika was crying uncontrollably and even her mother couldn't stop her. Then Haruo put his finger in her crib and she played with it and stopped crying. Ayumi then commented that loving Haruo was in her DNA. "Ka" means "summer" in Japanese, as she is the second oldest in the Yoshikawa family. (Taken from Wiki)

Anju Rika [ǎJ] - An enigmatic maid sent by Ayumi's father into the service of the Yoshikawa household, apparently to collect data. An effective maid, she is taciturn and quite able to cause trouble and thwart Ayumi's attempts to seduce Haruo. Her seeming obliviousness to the present conceals a calculating cunning that rivals even Fuyuno's. It is later revealed that she is an artificially-created human. The sound of a cymbil solo follows her as she goes into action. (Taken from Wiki)

Kurosu Yuri [{] - Yuri is the school's #1 idol as the student council president, but she gets some unwelcome competition when Ayumi transfers in. She met Haruo when she was a little girl, and instantly fell in love. Her hair changes colour (brown to silver) when she uses her battle magic, and instead of a broom/wand she has a large sword she rides like a surfboard. Yuri is still in love with Haruo, hence her constant indecent daydreaming about him, and gets irrationally angry when Ayumi is with him. As an excuse to see him she often says that Ayumi's behaviour is "Against School Policy" and as the Student President she must see that all rules are followed. She sometimes also masturbate about Haruo. (Taken from Wiki)

Nijihara Marin [^] - A Catholic witch hunter who thinks that Haruo was sent from heaven and needs protection from witches (especially Ayumi). She works with Ayumi, Yuri, and/or Maika when she feels that they have a common cause. Marin is an incompetent and clumsy fool who injures herself more in her attacks than any of the "evil-witches" that she so adamantly hunts, not to mention the picture of a Christian zealot who endlessly justifies all her hypocrisies with the mantra "It's in the name of the Lord." It's unclear whether Marin has deeper feelings for Haruo, or if she just admires him for what she calls "keeping away evil witches". Marin has never purified any other witches (if you don't count the witch she purified in Michiru's world). (Taken from Wiki)


I suck for not having Ayumi at all... orz
