April 1st is actually the start of Japan's fiscal year and is sometimes the day the academic year starts depending on where the days of the week line up. So you've got associations with prosperity/new beginnings/the spring time imagery good stuff --all things that thematically go well with protagonists. It's generally considered a lucky day to be born on, so plopping a character's birthday there is supposed to be a good sign...

This is really random and something I can definitely do a google dive on myself, but was curious if you know off the top of your head since I like how you explain things. Is there something especially significant about April 1st in Japanese culture?

I feel like I've seen sooo many characters in anime/manga that have that as their birthday? Though maybe Tsubasa RC having like...5 of them is an outlier and shouldn't be counted lol, and obviously in Yuumori it could be leaning more into Easter/Christian themes.

Anyway, just wanted to know whether it's something you know about before I go a-researching. :)

I don't think so, no. If there is, nothing I know. There's just a lot of overlap when there's so many anime characters, sometimes it happens. 25th of December also lands with a lot of characters, although even Japan recognizes some significance to the date.

As for Liam, Easter actually was April 1st in 1866 (I legitimately looked it up trying to figure out why people said this was his birthday a couple years ago). And then later, Miyoshi-sensei posts birthday art for him on Twitter that says "Happy Not Birthday" with a red string wrapped around his throat, and the vindication, because I'd been insisting it wasn't his actual birthday; it was OG William's, not his. And, confirmed!

And then one of my friends started wondering how I got this so write about Liam being strangled by the fate of his fake fucking birthday.

Anyway, it could be a detail because of the year they decided to set YuuMori in (although they haven't taken most of the other details of any of the years). It could be because it's a false date and April Fool's. Or it could be not much of anything.

The fun thing about speedrunning is that you can respond to literally any piece of information about a video game in any context whatsoever with “implications for the speedrun?” and there’s a non-zero chance that’s actually a cogent question.

There is a lot to say about the volume 14 Alt Cover, but today I just want to fixate on Sherlock's hand grabbing Liam's arm and pulling the gun away from his head.

It's also the same hand he had his detective hat in, so he dropped it/gave it up to Liam in order to save him.
