omg could i request for ‘how you first met + when does he start liking you’ kind of hcs with nagumo and seba, but its set in jcc so the reader is also a student there?

thank you for the sakamoto days crumbs btw 🫶😭

ah i love this so much! thank you for requesting 🫶

and of course! i love this manga so much and need more people to read it

— how you met + when he started liking you

sakamoto days charas (nagumo & seba) x gn!reader

Nagumo -

• nagumo first met you at the jcc through rion who was close friends with you and decided to introduce you to him

• from that moment on nagumo knew he wanted to be with you just off first glance, then you spoke and he calls it love at first sight

• at first nagumo was just curious about you, how you were able to fight so excellently, he wanted to know everything about you, so he asked rion a few times before she told him to just suck it up and ask you all the questions

• nagumo started liking you after he saw you take down a guy twice your size with ease, he knew from that point on that he wanted you to be his, and he wouldn't stop for nothing

• he started with subtle flirting, occasionally touching your shoulder or waist to move you aside or for him to get past, a lot of compliments that rion and sakamoto wanted to throw up over, and him being genuine with you

• nagumo is incredibly obvious that he has feelings for you, if you notice, then he'll ask you out on the spot, if you don't, he'll play the game a little longer

• if you realize quickly that he has feelings for you, confronting him will not work, he won't admit it cause he wants the confession to be perfect, so he'll make up some lie on the spot which leaves you confused

• though, rion likely told you first after getting annoyed that you were all nagumo talked about, telling you to please tell him if you have feelings too or not cause she can't stand him ranting about you 24/7

• so when you confront him for a second time, nagumo pouts knowing rion told you and confesses his feelings, lowkey annoyed that it was ruined but still happy nonetheless when you say you like him as well

• he hugged you so tightly when you said you liked him back, saying that even though the confession was ruined he'll make sure the first date is one you'll remember forever

Seba Natsuki -

• natsuki doesn't have a whole lot of friends, but when he accidentally walked into you because he wasn't paying attention and you immediately strike up a conversation with him, he starts to think maybe having a friend wouldn't be so bad

• so he agreed to be your friend and you two were from then on always around each other as friends, roaming the halls together and skipping classes

• natsuki didn't talk a whole lot to you, but he was glad he had somebody around to cure him of his boredom at the jcc

• natsuki started to like you when he was ranting about how his invisibility worked before realizing he was talking too much, going quiet when you told him, "it's okay, i like hearing you talk"

• he had never liked anyone before you, so he was unfortunately clueless on how to work the situation, he couldn't tell if you had feelings for him as well, and he didn't want to ruin the one and only friendship he had, so he kept quiet about it for a while

• but it was obvious with the lingering gazes he sent towards you, the hint of jealousy he showed when other guys flirted with you in front of him, and the protectiveness that grew the more he knew be liked you and didn't want you to get hurt

• if you notice these things, you'll have to confront him on it cause he won't admit it himself he would rather die than do that, if you don't notice he might go insane and force himself to tell you his feelings

• when he confesses his feelings to you, he looked up what were good ideas beforehand and resulted in him coming to you with a hand-written letter and a bouquet of flowers he remembered you liked, handing them to you and patiently letting you read the letter, worried that it would go wrong

• but when you smiled and told him you liked him too, he was dumbstruck, frozen in his spot as he tried to process what you said to him before a small smile formed on his face and he hugged you tightly, mumbling quietly how he's thankful you didn't hate him for liking you

• natsuki opened up to you a lot more after that, feeling comfortable with you unlike anyone else, and he was happy to be with you, he didn't think you liked him back, but he's very happy that you do

#kiss ryuji day #akira kurusu #ryuji sakamoto #pegoryu #khyt.art #the 2nd image was the original sketch (sort of) but I couldn't get a kiss in #and also I was going through the worst back pain imaginable #so it's kinda lazy this year. but I still really liked the original sketch and my back was feeling much better today #so I reworked akiren a little and added it as a bonus 👍

Personal pegoryu hc is that they are a hands-in-back-pocket couple instead of a hand holding couple if only because ryuji’s adhd ass always uses his hands to speak, so holding them will last like 90 seconds tops

#this is an image that has been plaguing me for days #I had to put it into words or else I was going to go crazy #I also imagine it’s an effective way of corralling him when he gets distracted on a walk #i just think they’re neat #pegoryu #persona 5 #p5 #ryuji sakamoto #akira kurusu #ren amamiya #akiryu #skaterboy speaks #about: ryuji <3 #about: akira <3

Compilation of Movie References in SAKAMOTO DAYS manga (pt.1)

(1) 🎬 Léon: The Professional

Boiled and Obiguro seem to have been inspired by the characters Léon and Mathilda from the film.

-

(2) 🎬 Drunken Master series

Lu Shaotang's drunken fist style pose in chapter 11 is paying homage to Jackie Chan's fighting stance in the Drunken Master II film. Lu drinking alcohol & activating her Drunken Fist mode is also inspired by Jackie's character in the film series.

-

(3) 🔫 Metal Gear Solid 3 (not a movie but video game)

Heisuke Mashimo's pet bird, Piisuke, acts as his spotter. This is most likely inspired by The End, a character in MGS3, who is also a sniper & even owns a pet bird which acts as his spotter too.

-

(4) 🎬 John Wick series

Sakamoto's retirement & how he's feared by those in the underworld is also similar to John Wick's story.

Sakamoto imagines killing the dude in chapter 1 using a pen/pencil, which is an actual scene from John Wick 2.

The JAA building shown in chapter 50 is a nod to the Continental Hotel in the John Wick movies.

The "Floaters" clean-up crew in Sakadays is the series' own version of John Wick's "Cleaners" unit.

Sakamoto VS Kanaguri in the library is probably inspired by John Wick: Chapter 3 library fight.

-

(5) 🎬 Casino / Grosse Pointe Blank / The Bourne Identity / Red Eye

Death by the pen/pencil is not only exclusive to John Wick series, in fact there are many other films in which somebody meets their demise via this formidable weapon. Therefore, in instances where Sakamoto uses a ballpoint pen as a weapon could also be a homage to some of the movies listed above, other than John Wick.

-

(6) 🎬 Funny Games

When Kanaguri appeared in chapter 59, he mentioned Funny Games movie as there was so much despair going on -just like the victims who were suffering in the film. It appears that Kanaguri's character design may, after all, have been inspired by Paul, the film's primary antagonist.

-

(7) 🎬 Stand by Me

-

(8) 🎬 Roman Holiday

In chapter 102, young Kanaguri was watching Roman Holiday and the scene portrayed on the television was an exact scene from the film.

(9) 🎬 Star Wars, Child's Play, Friday the 13th, Scream

Figurines of characters from these popular movies were seen among Kanaguri's collection on his display shelf in chapter 102.

-

(10) 🔫 Resident Evil 4 (not a movie but video game)

(11) 🎬 Johnny Mnemonic

Can't help but notice that Gaku's VR gear may just be inspired off Keanu Reeves' character from the Johnny Mnemonic film.

continue to pt.2 》

hiii, could i request for hcs abt nagumo having a crush on a reader who acts oblivious to his flirting and how he finally confesses 💞💞💞

i love nagumo so much and this is so great! thank you for requesting 🫶

— heart stealer

nagumo (sakamoto days) x gn!reader

• nagumo is so incredibly obvious when he has a crush on you he thinks it's insane how you don't realize when he's constantly flirting and trying to get you to know he likes you without saying it

• he likes the game of you figuring out that he likes you, but eventually gives up and just forces himself to tell you his feelings for you

• he would show up more at sakamoto's convenience store just as an excuse to see you even if he's forced to work at the store with the others, he never works and is instead talking to you the whole time

• nagumo is big on body touch, he's always lightly grazing your shoulder with his hand when he's next to you, gently grabbing your waist to move past you, finding excuses to hold your hand

• he isn't one for deep conversations but he will enjoy sitting with you on break and listening to you talk about your life and interests and if it gets deep, he's listening more intently

• he'd likely mess around with you a few times like little pranks, nothing too crazy, but enough for a good few laughs from him and you shoving him aside

• nagumo wants to know everything about you, and he will wait however long it takes for you to go into depth about everything, he gets surprisingly patient when he has a crush

• he will consistently say pickup lines, majority of them are terrible and cringey, but he enjoys saying them to see the reaction on your face

• once it gets to the point that he can't wait for you to realize anymore, he will find a way to confess to you

• he likely asks sakamoto first on what he did to get a better gist on what to do, but still doesn't really listen and does what he deems fits

• nagumo would confess by first taking you out to eat at a nice place he remembers you love but don't go often because of it's prices, and maybe a movie after before on the walk home he hands you a bag of snacks he got from sakamoto's that you love and telling you his feelings

• he's genuinely surprised when you say you had no idea, he thought he was being so obvious but apparently not, so he's glad he confessed now instead of waiting and it going wrong

• he then asks if he can kiss you, and when you just do it, he grins on the inside and pulls you close to him, and has a wide smile on his face when you pull away and look up at him

• he's so happy when you agree to go on another date with him, and promises that he won't let his work get involved and if anything happens he will protect you over his job

• nagumo cares about you more than anyone else or anything, he will be telling you that every day and is way more affectionate once you two are official, he just loves you so much

• it then is a nice memory to look back on later down the line when he lays next to you in bed staring at you while you sleep

Some small insights on things I commonly saw in Japan - nerd edition:

Not one day passed that I didn’t see at least one person with some sort of Kirby charm or keychain or sticker or somesuch on their person or backpacks. Not even in “nerdy” places, this extends to Everywhere.

You’ve likely heard this already, but Akihabara as “weeb mecca” is pretty old news and not the case anymore. You can definitely find some kickass stores there (my favorites were Mandarake and Super Potato!), but otherwise it’s pretty Just Below Surface Level mainstream nerd culture shops now, that is to say, everything is Spy x Family (dear god Anya is fucking everywhere), Kimetsu no Yaiba, One Piece, Quintuplets, Genshin, FGO, Uma Musume, Vtubers, some Bocchi, and Kaguya-sama. Mind you, I don’t dislike most of these things, but it’s literally all that is there, alongside gunpla stuff.

Den Den Town and Nakano Broadway were way fucking better for nerdy stuff. Props to Rinka for the heads up.

Sunshine City was also pretty good for nerdy stuff but with a way more focused scope: You have a Pokemon Center + Cafe there, One Piece store, Bandai Cross Store, the works.

Holy fuck they were not exaggerating, gachapon is absolutely everywhere. The Cross Store even had “Luxury Gacha” or “Premium Gacha”, can’t remember what the exact word was, that were in some cases 1500 yen a pop (for a pretty cool fucking figure though, not gonna lie).

There is gachapon of absolutely fucking anything in the world that you can think of. No, even more than what you’re currently thinking of. Stray musical notes, tools like hammers, bozosoku jackets, Nintama Rantaro, that one meme construction cat, miniature nail clippers, literally such a massive amount of sundry variety. I was humbled.

I’m kind of fucking sick of Anya Spy x Family. Literally everywhere.

I didn’t know there were stores where people can rent a little cube and sell their figures and other nerdy stuff like that. That’s such a cool concept, a little nerd-to-nerd market. Imagine you’re trading in TF2 except instead of giving someone keys for their hat, you give someone a big titty One Piece character, I don’t know the name of any, sorry, as a trade for a big titty Vtuber.

Among the stuff you could see occasionally in stores? Sakamoto Days. That made me so fucking happy.

I met 4 honest to god monks in the wild and I really wish I was fluent in Japanese, I wanted to talk to them so so so bad.

Even older nerds do NOT know VOTOMS. Every old school nerd I met in nerd bars and other such places knew Dunbine and Kinnikuman but I met literally no one that knew VOTOMS. They pulled out their phone, every time, looked it up, looked at me with that certified Japanese polite but obviously flabbergasted expression with a tinge of lemon and horror, and asked me, “how do YOU know of this?? it’s SO OLD” and I did not have the heart to tell them a 4chan dude mailed me VHS tapes with the show subbed back in 1937.

*Warning, this is gonna be a ridiculously long post...

So, some of you reeeeally wanted to know just a teeny weenie bit more about my weird boy huh? Well, here ya go:

Yeah, where do I freakin' start with this--? It was not only hard to put together despite the very simple (and more obvious) inspirations... but I had to mega ponder whatever the heck I was on when creating this character, LOL

Lets break it down all over again:

It is extremely obvious (I think) of which characters Tilde's appearance mostly stems from... our funny scout robots from Cave Story: Mr. Traveler and Curly Brace themselves. (Which heehee geddit he has a punctuation naem TILDE ~~ xdd)

I'm pretty sure some of you have probably assumed (Especially with how much I pair them together...^^") Tilde is... well... their kid somehow--

Not... quite? It's... much more complicated than that, don't worry about it! Anyways, I basically chucked them both into a blender to combine their appearances together as much as possible; an example of this is Tilde's hair! It's a blonde color like Curly's and straight; but has a waviness, spiking up at the ends like Quote's hair.

Tilde's antenna earphone things are green, and his eye color is also that bluescreen blue that Curly has as well, lol.

So Tilde's outfit inspirations! Tilde is actually wearing Sue Sakamoto's sweater, along with someone's long green scarf. Its a bit old and worn out... but it's very shnazzy, dontcha think? ^^ In earlier drawing drafts of Tilde back in 2021, his sleeves were actually much more sprite accurate to Sue's-- But then I played OneShot and drew them droopy like Niko's once and it... stuck. idc its staying too. I think I wanted to give him a cuteness bonus, so I gave him hairpins thanks to Chase from Harvest Moon lol

Underneath Tilde's sweater he is wearing a simple black tank with magenta shorts, like Quote's tank and sprite Curly's pants. His shoes I unfortunately don't have a direct correlation for their colors, but they're inspired by Cave Story 3D JP Curly's shoes.

A much more rare appearance, but this is what Tilde looks like as an adolescent-- Don't question why, just roll with it-- I have my reasons and I won't tell you :^) When I was drawing him, my brain just handed me Basil from Omori. Literally, just Basil's energy and a bit of the Mother series protagonists for outfit design... I tried to swishing it around a bit and ended up with a very puntable looking guy, which was the exact vibe I was going for~ >:3c

I gave Tilde a sweater turtleneck and called it a day, then Lucas came to mind again when I was coloring-- Which overall made this particular bit of the outfit more interesting ^^ Tilde here is also wearing Toroko's pendant. Not really much else to cover here, since the many traits from Tilde's youth carries into here. Continuing...

Oh boy, how the times have changed and he's all grown up now T_T

Tilde when he's older takes almost all the liberties from especially Quote, wearing his infamous deadpan expression naturally... but he still remains extremely expressive like Curly ^^

Tilde's outfit is very obviously influenced by them, from their cargo pants to their color schemes (which are also admittedly being carried from his youth as well.) Quote's Blade Strangers design (If you ever heard of it.) was definitely an influence for him as well--

BUT to keep him looking a bit more fresh, I devised to use even more of that special jrpg sauce i love to throw on my characters lmAO

Y'all should already know from my previous post that I'm a weeb a Japanese culture enthusiast, not gonna explain that again

Specially for his outfit Tetsuya Nomura's character designs immediately come to mind, i cannot tell you which one specifically.

While imagining the "cool rpg boy outfit" all these characters blend together in my head, probs because they seem to have similar vibes LOL (very cool Nomura-san)

100% CERTAIN Felix from Golden Sun had an influence on Tilde's outward appearance. I actually drew older Tilde before teen Tilde, and I gave him long hair partly bc of him-- lmao

(While Soren from Fire Emblem is not a main influence for Tilde, he is simply here because I hate him for making me realize long haired dudes are just,,, peak character design idk what to tell you.)

So that's Tilde's sheet

goes very crazy I know

If imma do a Tilde sheet, i gotta do it properly-- He's the best(est)

I'm very tired I worked on this for almost a whole week lol imma sleep or something

#so that's it #if you are curious about the inspirations for a different character #just ask me!#original content #tilde

KBTBB High School Headcanons!

Eisuke - I’d say Eisuke probably had straight A’s without trying. He was every girl's crush at school. All of the teachers loved him, giving their best reviews on report cards. Though, didn't have many friends, despite talking to a school day’s worth of people. The people he did call friends were just those he believed would benefit him in the future. You know the anime, “Haven’t you heard? I’m Sakamoto” basically, he’s a kid who’s perfect. Always ten steps ahead, girls love him, guys respect him, teachers admire his grades, that type of thing. That’s Eisuke. He avoids conflict and is always a step ahead. Pop quiz? He knew about it a week before.

Soryu - When you first see him you think he’s a bully, which is attractive in a way. Turns out he’s just a quiet kid, though there’s definitely an abnormal strength about him. The person everyone fights to get on their team during gym class. Decent grades, probably would get a B in math if it weren’t for the teacher being scared of him. I can imagine him holding a lot of pain in, especially with his home life. Unapproachable, to say the least. Only has one or two friends at most but keeps everyone at arm's length. He’s, surprisingly, not the fighting type however I can see him getting into one fight if he saw a girl being bullied.

Shuichi - Him and Eisuke are constantly battling for top marks. Everytime one gets an A- the other mocks them for the entire week. Unlike Eisuke, Shuichi actually studies. Some could argue he doesn’t need too, but still does. His desk is always clean, and his notes are perfect. The teachers always entrust responsibilities to him. They even joke about having him as the principal when he’s older. Probably the type of kid that puts a lot of pressure on himself. That, and he just grew up having high expectations set on him. Doesn’t date. At all. He denies every girl that tries. Has been labeled as an “impossible catch”. Believes studies comes first and would break his concentration.

Ota - Ota is the popular kid. Everyone’s friends with him. He’s always hanging out with someone. One day it’s the drama club, the next it’s the art club. Did I mention the art teacher loves him? He doesn’t do the best academically, but his art teacher is so impressed, she offers to write a college recommendation letter. Again, everyone loves him. He’s the type of person a fight would break out over in the cafeteria, because everyone wants him at their table. Between him and Eisuke, the girls can’t decide who they want to date first.

Baba - Baba is the playboy all the girls warn each other about. At last, between his dashing smile and adoring personality, almost every girl has fallen for him once. People probably think he rides a motorcycle. He doesn’t, still, he gives off friends to lovers vibes. Despite his efforts, he always gets dumped due to his flirtatious nature. If anyone were to get pregnant during high school, the chances of him being the dad are 9/10. Quite responsible though. Takes accountability and helps his girlfriend through it. Supports her decision and promises to marry her, if that’s what she wants.

Mamoru - Mamoru is the kid who barely anyone knows. He sits next to you yet, if someone asked, you’d deny that he was in your class. He’s either not in class or sleeping/barely paying attention. They call him “Big Bromoru” because he acts like everyone’s big brother. “Shouldn’t you be doin your homework instead of talkin in the halls, eh?” Literally to random people in the hallway. Though, for some reason, it makes him admirable. No one dares say anything rude back, knowing they’d have the whole school as a target. He’s respected by all the kids there, even if he isn’t very noticeable.

hey so how do you think Ryuji/Skull would deal with a new member joining the phantom thieves. After strikers another Palace/jails showed up. He develops a crush on this new member. After 10 months, they have a break between the big mission as they are waiting for more things to happen, crush sends a serious sounding text to come meet up. It’s important. Crush confesses to him that they like him and was wondering if he’d like to go on a date with them when this is all over?

꒰୨୧﹒Persona 5 - Hcs for Ryuji Sakamoto with a Crush on a New Phantom Thief

This is a really cute request! Hope you don't mind the beginning being a bit vague, but hey, leaves more room for the imagination.

Warnings: None

Ryuji Sakamoto

• A year had passed since the Phantom Thieve's final encounter with False God Demiurge. Considering the uneventfulness of said year, they figured that their services to society were finally over. Alas, it was never that simple

• Trouble began to arise as new victims were being targeted by an unknown party. Soon enough, dungeons began to arise once more. They were a bit different from palaces and jails, but they shared one thing in common. They were dangerous and did more harm than good

• As much as Ryuji enjoyed kicking ass, he didn't know how to feel about having to continue the whole Phantom Thief charade, though it's not like he could find it in himself to stop with his strong sense of serving justice

• There was one good thing that came out of this whole ordeal, however, and that was the arrival of a new Phantom Thief. You had connections to the first victim of these palace/jail-like dungeons and had involuntarily wound up into one alongside the Phantom Thieves

• Luckily, you had a strong will with a desire to fight, and you were to able to unlock your Persona

• The Phantom Thieves (a bit cautious due to their unfamiliarity with you) didn't see any harm in having a new addition. You seemed to mean well and had an honest interest in assisting them, so after a group discussion, they invited you to join the team

• Now, this wasn't the first time the Phantom Thieves had gotten a new recruit, especially for Ryuji. After all, he was the Phantom Thieves third member (if we're counting Morgana), so this shouldn't have been a huge deal

• And it wasn't, at least, at first. Ryuji had always been on the friendly side, so he eagerly welcomed you into the group, cracking a few light-hearted jokes here and there to help you feel comfortable. The smile he managed to conjure from you made his heart thump in his chest, but he was quick to shrug it off

• He didn't initially realize it, but for whatever reason, he had become enthralled by you. He found himself sneaking glances at you during meetings and watching in awe at how you're able to carry yourself in battle. When you were in the room, his attention would slowly drift towards you. It's quite literally puppy love

• He begins to find excuses to be around you. "Hey [Name], I've got this huuuge exam coming up and I could use some extra help." "[Name], I heard about this new ramen place that opened down the street and it'd be cool if someone could taste-test with me!" "I heard that you really wanted to go [insert place that requires a ticket here] and I've got an extra ticket, wanna come?"

• It isn't until Ann begins to tease Ryuji over his behavior with you that he starts to realize he's developed a crush: "Great, freaking fantastic." (sarcasm)

• He ends up keeping his crush to himself. 1) Because he's afraid of scaring you off and ruining his friendship with you, and 2) With Phantom Thief business becoming more hectic as they drew closer to tracking down the culprit, he didn't want to overwhelm you with anything else

• Little does he know that you've been harboring a crush of your own. You admired his loyal and thoughtful he was, not to mention his goofy nature brightened your day. You had enjoyed getting to know him during your time in the group, and didn't want to stop talking to him once everything was over. Sadly, you hadn't gotten the chance to talk to him about it with all the crazy things that have been happening

• 10 months have passed since the two of you met. The Phantom Thieves have decided to take a momentary break during their long-awaited moment of calm. You didn't know what dangers were lurking in the future, so you decided it was now or never. You picked up your phone and sent a text to Ryuji telling him to meet you outside the arcade

• A few minutes past before Ryuji notices your text. He types up a reply saying he'll be there soon. He was already out buying groceries (per his mom's request) so it doesn't take long before he reaches the outside of the arcade

• You had been anticipating this moment, standing in front of the arcade and trying to figure out what to say, but as soon as you here him shout your name and walk towards your direction, your thoughts overflow and you can't help but blurt out "I like you!"

• Ryuji is confused, so he does what feels natural and tries to play it off as some sort of joke

• You clarify that you aren't joking and confess that you've had a crush on him, pouring your heart onto a silver platter before asking if he'd be up for going on a date once everything is over

• A few moments pass as he stands there and blinks, trying to process everything you just said before excitedly pulling you into a hug. He tells you that he's felt the same way and that you beat him to the punch

• Ryuji isn't one for waiting. He likes to do things in the present, so he asks if you want to try doing a mini-date after he drops the groceries off at home. If the answer is no, he'll respect that answer and wait. If the answer is yes, you two will probably come back to the arcade or eat out somewhere

• "This is only the beginning. Wait 'till all of this crazy stuff is over. I'll give you a date you'll never forget!"
