This is the 6th anniversary title image, which was released in 2022.

I love that everyone is here. Usually either Saeran or Rika gets left out, so it’s really nice to finally see the whole cast together. Even MC made it into the CG (even if it’s just our hand 😭). Plus, the art is absolutely stunning.

Now my expectations for the 10th anniversary CG are even higher. Can’t wait for July 9!

Just a little reminder for everyone (in case anyone missed the announcement) 💛

If you've been planning to buy anything from Mystic Messenger, consider grabbing it before July 24.

According to Cheritz's announcement, the prices for Hourglasses, calling cards, and other paid items will be increasing up to 30%. The Hourglass costs for Deep Story, Another Story, DLCs, After Endings, seasonal content, and more will also be going up.

So if you've already been thinking about unlocking any of those, you can save yourself a bit by getting them before the new pricing takes effect.

I feel sad every time I think about this, but I've always believed Tsukasa was suicidal. This boy wanted to die so badly.

Part of it could've been because he wanted to put an end to the deal/contract he made with the Entity. It could also be because he believed there was no place left for him in this world anymore. His parents didn't love him the same after he came back, and he had always believed that Amane hated him.

And knowing that his life would end by Amane's hands, I don't think he ever tried to fight against that fate. He probably didn't even fight back when Amane stabbed him. He probably just went along with it because that's what he wanted. He wanted to die. He wanted to finally rest.

So imagine how disappointed he must have been when he woke up as Hanako's yorishiro...

While I admire Hanako's determination to never give up on his little brother, I also think his choice ended up caused Tsukasa even more suffering. The freedom he had longed for was still denied to him.

And that's so sad because neither of them was ever really at fault. They were just two kids born into a tragic fate.

At first, I assumed he was only pretending to scare Nene. But after paying closer attention to his expressions (and seeing how embarrassed he was when Mitsuba made fun of him), I'm convinced he was actually terrified. 😭

Teru finally has some competition for the title of "What Scares Hanako the Most"... and it's a piece of konjac jelly 😭

Yeah, I only came across this today. Considering I'm such a die-hard fan, I was honestly surprised I'd never seen this artwork before haha. How did this artwork fly under my radar for so long?

It's funny how Tsukasa gets distracted by the butterfly, while Amane gets distracted by Tsukasa 😂

Also, why is Tsukasa even hanging out with this group in the first place? I'm pretty sure Kou was side-eyeing him the entire time 😭

Let's have a fun discussion!

Have you all read After-School Hanako-kun (ASHK)?

So far, we have 28 chapters, and 13 of them have been animated. That leaves 15 chapters that haven't been adapted yet.

I'm not sure if we'll ever get another ASHK season, but let's say we do. Which chapter would you be most excited to see animated next?

For reference, the chapters that have already been animated are:

Chapters 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 25.

I know we'd all love to see everything animated, but for this discussion, you're only allowed to choose ONE chapter. Let's see which ones are the most popular pick!

------------------------------------------

My personal pick:

Chapter 27 – Ghost Stories

I genuinely think this is one of the creepiest chapters in the entire series. The fact that Nene doesn't realize what's wrong until the very end makes it even more unsettling. We also get to see almost every cast gathered together in one place, which would be amazing to see animated.

Also, I've always wanted to know whether it was Hanako or Tsukasa who saved her at the end of the story. I feel like the only way to tell for sure would be by hearing their voice, so this chapter absolutely needs to be animated!

------------------------------------------

So, what about you?

Choose only ONE chapter that you'd most like to see animated! And what makes that chapter special to you?

Congratulations to Amane for accidentally traumatizing half of the cast. But in his defense, it's all the Entity's fault. Please forgive him, everyone 😭

Anyway, this chart is far from perfect, so feel free to tell me if I forgot anyone or got something wrong.

Because he deserves ALL the love in this world 🥺💕

This illustration is from their 2021 birthday! I don’t know if everyone remembers this, but this illustration actually has a pretty cute story behind it 💕

For context, all of the text below comes from Cheritz’s official Twitter and was released for the twins’ 2021 birthday event.

This story is told from Saeran’s POV:

>“My love, how are you doing today? Lately I visited an aquarium with >!Saeyoung!< for a vacation, and it was amazing. I felt like I was taking a walk in the deep blue of the ocean.”

>“I remember how I once wished to save all the fishes in the aquarium… Do you think it was a wish too big for me?”

>“On our way out, we found a gift shop, and I saw this huge shark plushie. It was so soft, and I couldn’t take my hands off it for a while.”

>“I’m not sure when >!Saeyoung!< saw me petting the shark, but he bought it as a gift for me while I wasn’t watching.”

>“I think he also bought a penguin plushie in secret, because I told him I don’t want a penguin plushie. Well? Isn’t it adorable? :)"

>“I’m going to put this plushie on my bed! It’d feel so comfy if I hold it…”

>“I’m going to tell myself this plushie is you. I want to hold it every night as I go to sleep.”
