Mikoto Mikoshiba | Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

[mikodere]

CHARACTER: Mikoto Mikoshiba
CANON: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
BLURB: I'm still playing around with ideas, but here's what I generally have in mind for him~

→ Originally from Japan but his family immigrated to Recollé when he was young. Knows how to speak both Japanese and English.
→ He'll probably be around 19~21.
→ Mikorin is the young owner of a florist shop that was passed down from his family. He's only recently taken over due to his dad getting sick and is still learning how to manage owning a shop. Despite his age, he's very skilled at putting together bouquets, corsages and arrangements. The only thing that's holding him back his is lack of confidence of being a shop owner.
→ Lives in an apartment complex with his black cat, Noa. He dotes on his cat any chance he gets and spoils her rotten. She's not the most friendly cat but in time, she'll be okay with other people.
→ On the outside, he acts like a total playboy and shamelessly says flirtatious lines to girls. In actuality, he is a shoujo heroine gets embarrassed by his own dialogue and has a hard time talking to girls in general.
→ He's a really shy person and has a hard time making friends due to how nervous he gets around strangers.
→ For his hobbies, he's a huge nerd that likes playing video games (RPGs and gyaruge games are his favorites!) and collecting bishoujo figurines. He's quite secretive about his hobbies but if you get to know him, he'll be more open to talk about his likes. I was thinking about having him getting into an MMORPG so he can attempt to make new friends.
→ The reason why he started playing gyaruge games was so that he could learn how converse with girls better. It hasn't helped him much.
→ He likes fashion quite a bit and reads all sorts of fashion magazines to see what the latest trends are.

LOOKING FOR: ANYTHING! I'm very open to any sort of CR with him. Friends, Family, Customers for his flower shop? Yes! Victims for him to flirt with and he gets embarrassed??? Yes, please! I'd def love some fellow video game nerds that he could geek out with. Maybe some internet friends he can meet through an MMORPG. I will be thrilled over the moon if he had some fellow apartment complex neighbors. ♥
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I'm pretty set on wanting to app him first. Also contemplating on Yoshiko Tsushima (from Love Live! Sunshine) or Hitoka Yachi (from Haikyuu!!)

[complementing]

why hello there, fancy seeing you here

[mikodere]

negl when I saw your replurk for this, I was pretty much sold on joining. ♥

Can I has Minako CR????

[feminitis]

Hey there! Sei here is probably going to end up needing a job since she's either just about to graduate highschool/just starting college (I'm undecided); would Mikorin be hiring part-timers for his flower shop?

She's absolutely the type to tease him about his difficulties with talking to girls too. I'm sorry in advance.

[mikodere]

He'd definitely love to hire part timers for sure! The poor boy needs all the help he can get, How does one run a store??? so he'll gladly hire her. ♥ Has she worked with flowers before? If not, Mikorin will be happy to teach her or have her do deliveries?

I live for Mikorin pain so PLEASE TEASE HIM, he deserves it. He'll... probably be a bit nervous around Sei at first but then he'll grow comfortable around her. I'm sorry in advance for him as well. Good luck dealing with him??? Most nerdy boss ever, tbh.

[parodeity]

Hey there! Dave is 17 and still in high school, so he might be a little out of friendship range (OR NOT? but not for school obviously) but maybe he can idk. part time at the shop if you want or they can bond over cats being pretty cool or something? or he could buy flowers for his mom sometimes because he is a mama's boy don't judge

[mikodere]

HELLO!! ♥ Oooh, I think a friendship could work! I recall the manga author saying that he gets along well with people younger than him. He'll def be looking for part time help, so if Dave wants to he's more than welcome to work for him and bond with his cat, since she likes to laze around the shop. No judgements at all! He'll think it's sweet (and he's a mama's boy himself too shhhh) Maybe he can hire Dave when he's stopping by to by flowers for his mama?

[sharplydressed]

HEY Kashuu here is in the same age range and also super interested in all things fashion and trends!! Maybe they can be neighbors, too, since he's living in one of the complexes while he attends college to be The Best Fashion Designer Like No One Ever Was.

[mikodere]

HELLO KASHUU! I am so down for this fabulous fashionable CR. Best neigbhors ever, they'll make the apartment complexes look lovely. They... should totally go clothes shopping together one day. Mikorin will be beyond thrilled to brag about that he knows The Best Fashion Designer Like No One Ever Was and he'd love to see any of his designs!

[chiseler]

I'm so excited that someone plays from this canon wtf...

Luke's a few years older than he is so Mikorin would have been probably like a freshman or sophomore when Luke graduated from high school if I'm doing my math right, but he totally understands the balances and struggles of owning your own business. HE WON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD but I think he'd be the type to kind of admire that he's taking over the shop for his family and it'd be enough for him to kind of pop in and out and see how he's holding up. He can always buy flowers for his sister or his mom, whatever, that hardly bothers him.

And if he ever were to see Mikorin's Girl Struggles he'd...well first he'd make fun of him and then he'd probably try to offer advice that wouldn't be very useful, I'm sorry about him.

[mikodere]

♥♥♥!!!! AHHH super happy to hear that! It's one of my favorite series ever, tbh. I picked him recently on a whim and he's becoming one of my favorite muses to play!

Omg awww, that's really sweet of Luke to check on him!! He'd be like ??? seeing him the first couple of times but eventually, he'll try to strike up a conversation with him. Especially if he's buying flowers for his mom and his sister because he'd find that really sweet. I was reading your blurb on Luke and I feel like they would be really fun to play off each other? With Luke's trickster nature, Mikorin would get sooo annoyed at him but it will be so much fun? I can totally have him stop by his bar one day too.

YES, PLEASE MAKE FUN OF THE LOSER! saghsioagh I'M LOSING IT, give him the worst advice on how to talk to girls ever and Mikorin will storm up to him and be like "WHAT KIND OF ADVICE WAS THAT???" with a slap mark on his face or something

[notbunaga]

im absolutely here for video game friendship

she works at an arcade but she's also a super hardcore gamer so id def love for mmorpg connections

[mikodere]

SLAMS HANDS ON DESK

HI!!! YES, I need video game nerd friendship CR like burning!

Oooh nice! Mikorin will def be hitting up the arcade during his spare time, so he'll likely bump into her then? ALSO YES, they can do dungeon crawling together and yell at each other??? "YOU STOLE MY KILL"

[covenantal]

HOLY SHIT, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE PLAYED FROM THIS!!! SLAMS IN HERE FULL FORCE

so this kid is the son of diplomats and i can honestly see him stopping into the shop when he needs corsages or whatever for formal events... can they know each other in passing and become friends...

[mikodere]

WE ARE A RARE BREED!!!! One of my friends plays an amazing Seo and Mayu and I came across a Chiyo at one game BUT YES, PLEASE COME HITHER!!!!!!

Eeee, I am so totally down for them getting to know each other and become friends. One day, after they become friends, Mikorin can get all embarrassed/tsun and ask him to join him for a cup of coffee or something. I'm always up for Persona CR (Like seriously, every CR that I've had with a Persona muse has been nothing but a wonderful experience ♥) I'm so soooo excited to interact with a Yu.

[ghostories]

what if someone flirted back tho

what if someone teased him to no end about his playboy persona

what if someone stole his cat -- okay no that's not actually happening (maybe) but

ANYWAY THAT IS MY OFFER. Yuuko is 17 so she won't be running into him at school BUT she might be someone he recognizes since she buys flowers from the same shop for her mom's grave each year. Also, Nobu's a childhood friend of hers, so there's that too.

[mikodere]

omg I love everything about this

He'd spontaneously combust "A girl... is actually flirting back...? WHAT DO I DO?!?!??!"

(slams hands on desk) TEASE THIS LOSER, YES. I LIVE FOR SEEING HIM EMBARRASSED!!

inb4 his own cat ends up liking Yuuko more than him, he'd feel so betrayed

I NEED THIS CR LIKE BURNING!!! Aww that would be a really heartwarming way for them to meet! He can help her pick out flowers and should he learn about her mom, he'll make an arrangement just for her. ♥ Cuteeee, Yuuko and Nobu have my full permission to team up and terrorize him.

[penumbral]

So, uh. I've got +1 customer for Mikoto's flower shop, here. He'd consistently come in and buy nice arrangements and stuff, and it probably looks like he has a significant other or a mom or grandmother he's particularly fond of or something...

... but in reality? They're for himself. He buys... himself flowers.

[mikodere]

That's.... so adorable

At first he doesn't think anything of it but then Mikorin will sit there and wonder about him. Everytime he sees him he's just like It's that same guy... and thinks that whoever he's giving those flowers to must feel very loved.

He might have an urge to tail him after to work to see who the lucky lady is, only to be very suprised.

[goen]

what if yato worked for the flower shop for a bit and then fucked up REALLY BAD because like idk

someone with a grudge from a past job burst in and set stuff on fire or something

it can be a tiny fire

[mikodere]

Oh my god that would be amazing.

and Mikorin's away when it happens too. He happens to come back and see that some of the flowers were set on fire and looks at Yato. HE WAS ONLY GONE FOR 10 MINUTES, WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED????

[moribound]

So I heard Mikoto and Minako are going to be childhood friends, and I'm intrigued.

As Minako-mun has mentioned Minato's in a bit of a pickle since he's technically not supposed to visit his sister, but he's concerned about her anyway and he'd totally agree to sending notes to her since Mikoto would be one of the few he can trust fairly quickly with his real identity.

I'm open to either Minato also being a childhood friend of Mikoto's or someone he never got to meet, either way he'd still trust Mikoto because Minako does though in the latter case he might get some over-protective brother glares before he warms up to the guy, haha. They can also be MMORPG buddies!

[mikodere]

The brother is here!! Hello!! I'm sooo intrigued and interested in his backstory with Minako. It's so interesting to learn about the siblings ahhh

I've been literally squeeing outloud ever since Minako mun told me about this idea, I think it's sooo cute and I love it. Both mun and muse also feel flattered that Minato would be able to trust him fairly quicky His shoujo heart is melting...

Oooh I'm totally on board for either one of those? But ahhh the idea of Mikorin being childhood friends with Minato would be too cute too. Maybe he got close with both of them before Minato's accident? Although the idea of over-protective brother senses kicking in sounds like it'd be hilarious CR BUT YES DEFINITELY! They can go dungeon crawling together and get lost :D

[magusdeflowers]

... god all this

please read merlin's garbo cosmo blog, mikorin.

[wordcarvings]

Koutarou will come by and buy flowers for his girl/boyfriend a lot and also to get references for his paintings since he's a painter. Since Koutarou is the friendly and patient type maybe they could be friends. In which apartment type does he live in? If he'd live in Birch Hills they could be neighbor's too.
