Inyouchuu Lore Discussion

There isnt really any new information. You're right that its mainly a way to inform newcomers on Takeru's character and emphasize Mikoto's fear and guilt over what happened.

Oh interesting. Well his involvement in the Miyuki Shiratori arc probably gives us even more backstory to the "lewd demon bugs" lol. Will be cool to get more of that figured out someday.

It occured to me that, if the next chapter I'm writing is going to be about Kikuka and Ouka, I should probably have a better handle on their characters, and since the sum total of their characterization in the OVA is "more stoic than the regular trio before getting mindbroken", I should probably ask what they're supposed to be like as people, which would also help going forwards if I write anything else involving them.

There are some doujin I can find where they show up, but I don't trust those to give me much more than the OVA.

Gotta say, that would be immensely helpful for me too, given that I'm about to write a chapter with them!

Right now all I've got is that Ouka is the one who can summon a dog spirit, and Kikuka apparently has a similar skill set to Mikoto (I assume this means she stabs things)

I'm hopeful that Hanamaru 2 whenever JAST puts it out, can give us a lot of insight on them. As usual, the Shoku OVA really doesn't show anything for them personality wise.

In the Shoku game, Kikuka is the high IQ type that was on the beach with that daring little swimsuit that guys and people took pictures of. Later? She slips a "bill" under their door or something to that extent that they owe her money for her services. Freaking hilarious lol. Other than that, the vibe I have gotten for so long is that she's maybe similar to Mikoto in ways, how she gets broken sexually (more of a fighter), etc, but I'm not 100%.

Introvert might not even be the word for Ouka. She's extremely "different" because she was alone for so many years while Kikuka was captured by Meioki. We see this highlighted further in the Kyou arc where Ouka falls in love, or allows the fat human guy to have sex with her, and maybe cherishes him in a romantic way. Unlike normal societal standards that view him as ugly, Ouka doesn't see him that way. So she's very quirky and could maybe be the hardest character to write for. I don't think ditzy or aloof fits either, but yeah she is... different. Unique and cute in her own way. Probably making the Kikuka moments with her even more precious.

Power level wise, I think Ouka is one of the strongest. I want to say in one of the main good endings of Shoku, she saves the whole gang by herself. Since she's a summoner I guess it makes sense, she probably has a huge mana pool and spiritual energy.

I'm still not sure about Kikuka and her abilities. Might have taken some damage from torture like Takeru. These are the two girls in the canon that have lost their virginity to demons.

Um yeah, Kikuka loves money.
