"Taisho Otome Otogibanashi" is an anime that will be broadcast from October 2021, and is a love story set in the Taisho era. It is a work that is attractive for its cute deformed characters, a heartwarming story that does not feel a little heavy, and a well-balanced development that drops a bomb on the story. I would like to introduce the characters of Taisho Otome Otogibanashi!
Character 1 Shima Tamahiko
The protagonist of this work, 17 years old. Born as the second son of Shima, a clan of powerful people feared as the Rakshasa clan, he had everything except his parents' love, but after losing his mother and the use of his right hand in an accident and with no intention of going to school, his father abandoned him and banished him to a villa in Chiba as if to get rid of him. He was in despair about everything and lived a reclusive life as a pessimist, but things changed dramatically when he met his fiancee, Yuzuki, who was bought by his father with money. At first, he was in despair about everything, but he regained his cheerfulness through Yuzuki's personality and encounters with his friends.
Character No. 2: Tachibana Yuzuki
The heroine of this work, 14 years old. A girl who was bought by Tamahiko's father for 10,000 yen (about 5 million yen in the money at that time?) and assigned to be Tamahiko's wife. She has a cheerful and innocent personality that doesn't show it, is a good cook, and tries to devote herself to Tamahiko, but as they spend time together she begins to have feelings for him. Her problems are her terrible curly hair and hidden large breasts. She is short, so she tends to look childish, but when she takes off her clothes she is amazing. She is a big fan of the singer Shiratori Kotori.
Character No. 3: Shima Tamako
Tamahiko's good sister. However, because she is excellent, she is isolated in a different way to Tamahiko, and she is mean to those around her, but this is a way of life to survive in the Shima clan, and she is actually a lonely person at an age when she wants to be spoiled. When she first visited her brother, she had a cheeky personality, but after a certain incident, she began to admire Yuzuki, and she opened up to her brother Tamahiko, and they became close siblings. After interacting with Tamahiko and Yuzuki, her personality became softer and she became a good understanding friend of the two. After Yuzuki collapses, she decides to become a doctor under her uncle, Jusuke.
Character #4 Aya
A woman who lives in a village near where Tamahiko lives. She lives with her alcoholic father and two younger brothers, but on her father's orders, she sneaks into Tamahiko's house, steals his wallet and the bookmark that Yuzuki gave her, and runs away. Behind this is not only her father, but also jealousy of Yuzuki, who seems happy despite being bought with money. After that, after a series of events, she reconciles with the two and becomes a good neighbor.
Character No. 5: Ayataro
Aya's younger brother. After Aya breaks in to steal, he is taught by Tamahiko, but then he decides to go to work as a servant at a store in Tokyo. At one point, he thinks that this will be the last time he will be with his family, and disappears, but when he finds out that he was mistaken, he heads off to work as a servant to make things easier for his family. Later, he reunites with Tamahiko and the others during a major incident.
Character No. 6: Shiratori Kotori
A singer who is a big fan of Yuzuki and Tamako. She gained popularity by singing and playing the guitar, and even Tamahiko, who is not particularly interested in singing, was moved by her singing voice. Later, she comes to visit Tamahiko's house through her brother, Saku. Although she has a straightforward and cheerful personality, she feels guilty about her brother, who gave up music due to illness.
Character No. 7: Shiratori Saku
Kotori's twin brother, a young man who wears glasses. He transfers to the same school as Tamahiko at the same time. In contrast to Tamahiko, who is feared as a member of the Rakshasa clan and isolated from others, his twin sister is well-known and is always surrounded by people. However, he does not look down on Tamahiko, and they become friends through art class. He once aspired to a career in music, but he gave up his dream due to an illness and entrusted it to his sister. However, after meeting Tamahiko and Yuzuki, he begins to get involved in music again.
Character No. 8: Toujou Nakabe
Tamahiko's uncle and Tamahiko's father's younger brother. He is a doctor in Kobe and has parted ways with the Shima clan. Although he was born into the Shima family, he is a very kind person and is happy to accept Tamako, who aspires to be a doctor. He was originally in a relationship with Tamahiko's mother, Touko, but her brother, Tamayoshi, used his power to take her away. The only time in the past, when Touko ran away from home, she had a child with Tamahiko's younger brother, Tamao, who is Tamahiko's father, but he himself was unaware of this.
Character No. 9 Shima Tamayoshi
Father of Tamahiko and Tamako, the current head of the Shima clan, feared as a member of the Rakshasa clan. Not only does he have no compassion for others, he doesn't even have compassion for his family or relatives. He bought Yuzuki for 10,000 yen and gave her to Tamahiko. He is the very image of a member of the Rakshasa clan, having stolen his younger brother, Tamasuke's girlfriend, and having Tamahiko and Tamako give birth to him. Rather, it is because he had no compassion that he was able to achieve such success. But it seems that he wasn't like that from the beginning, as he was poor when he was young and had lost a loved one because he had no power.
Character No. 10 Shima Tamaki
Tamahiko's older brother. He hardly ever spoke to Tamahiko, and it seems he acted for his father, but he passed away at a young age due to injuries he sustained during the earthquake...
Character No. 11 Shima Tamayo
Tamahiko's older sister. Although she behaves elusively, elegantly and calmly, behind the scenes she is one of the most dangerous people in the series, coldly plotting schemes. She is a psychopath who gleefully cuts up caterpillars and takes pleasure in the misfortune of others, and is also a severe daddy's girl, to the point of assassinating Tamaki, the next head of the family, to get her father's attention. However, in terms of her abilities, she has the intelligence to see through people's true nature and, as a result, make them act according to her will.
