Shall We Date?: Hero in Love, Hayate Shiranui Review

I was so excited for Hayate's route because he was such a mystery. From the prologue and just the looks of them, I could tell that Billy would be a playboy along with every possible American stereotype they could cram in to his personality, and Soh would be cold, strict, disciplined, and it would take a while for him to open up about his feelings. But Hayate, besides reminding me of David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days, was hard to figure out. I couldn't tell what he would be like even from the other guys' routes, and it just upped his cool, mysterious factor by a thousand. It reminded me of developing a crush on a stranger.

Like right now I have a thing for this dude at the local coffee shop. I obviously know nothing about him besides what I've learned in our brief interactions when I order a 16 oz frozen Mr. B (the BEST DRINK EVER), which means I have learned his name, that he has tattoos, gorgeous blue eyes, and his voice sounds like sexiness. But I like to imagine he plays guitar, is extremely intelligent and witty, has great taste in music as well as a preference for chubby blonde girls, and that he lives in a funky loft somewhere downtown with his dog.

Basically the embodiment of my barista crush. Let's just get married already.

But he could just as easily work part time at the coffee shop while living with his parents and smoking a copious amount of weed...or he could be a serial killer who deals meth..or maybe he doesn't like The Beatles or Brand New....or he may not know the difference between their, there, and they're. Building something up in your mind can very quickly cause a whole lot of disappointment

Shall We Date?: Hero in Love, Billy Review

Billy is an American, and by golly they make that pretty clear. He's dressed like a cowboy, but not just any cowboy, he's dressed like the kind of cowboy that wins every event at the most flamboyant rodeo ever. He eats what the game eludes to as complete junk covered in ketchup and mayonnaise, but I thought it sounded like pretty typical meals for me so they got that pretty right on. He's brash, arrogant, a womanizer, is only known by his first name like Cher or Madonna, and he does things like this......

 

Bloew!

Shall We Date?: Hero in Love, Soh Hanamiya Review

Soh is a straight laced, no nonsense dude who acts like he's too cool for your shit. You're a burden and he sees you as nothing more than a nuisance that he begrudgingly has to deal with for the time being, much like how my parents viewed me after I moved back home and said "it'll only be for a year at most". That was four years ago. (thanks Mom and Dad! Instead of buying a house I'm spending my money on otome games, Netflix, and trips to Vegas and California).

I played Soh's route first because after I saw how much he looked like Masato Hijirikawa from Uta no Prince-sama I couldn't help myself. I love me some Hijirikawa.

WHY HIJIRIKAWA SENPAI??? IS IT BECAUSE YOU'RE FICTIONAL??
