It’s an unusual standout choice in design against the pre-existing characters of the series, and makes for some lovely juxtaposition for both his personality and image as an idol. His rock style feels like it clashes with his idol status, and it gives me major Bakumatsu Rock vibes - particularly when we take into account his choice of wearing one purple-coloured contact lens, skin-tight clothing and noticeably heavy and dark eyeshadow. In all honesty, his edgy aesthetic is what caught my attention first and foremost. Top this off with some of the most endearing barrier-breaking moments for his overall development and you’ve got a winner. The end result in Kurosaki’s case is an incredibly appealing turnaround of a character uncovering his true self is worth every second spent growing closer to him to uncover his backstory and layers. He refuses to even consider teaming up with the main character to write music together because she’s female, and has quite the ego and attitude with everyone who fails to leave him alone when he needs solitude.īut if there’s one thing that turns me into a fan of a tsundere, it’s when their defences are so well explained and explored that they create a relatable and sympathetic character despite a distasteful first impression. He’s a senior character to both characters of the series’ first entry, Masato and Ren, and a member of the idol group QUARTET NIGHT, but he does not make a great first impression. Ranmaru Kurosaki first appeared in Maji LOVE 1000% and Uta no Prince-sama Debut, subsequently becoming a love interest in its sequel, All Star. He may not be everyone’s favourite, but he was and still is my best boy from the otome series UtaPri. The final nudge I needed to make my first step into the series was a favourite character to latch on to - and the character in question, Ranmaru Kurosaki, is who we are celebrating today. But all is not lost: its anime adaptations are more readily available, as well as passionate blog authors who cover the game’s content in detail.
