![]() So what exactly is it that makes Aoharu x Kikanjuu such a trainwreck then? Well there are many reasons but they can be roughly divided into three categories: I don't know if it's a mistranslation or whatnot but either way if you're expecting some sort of thrilling life-or-death drama here you're going to be sorely disappointed because there is absolutely nothing lethal in this anime. I say survival game, but that in and of itself is completely wrong it's actually just competitive airsoft that we're talking about here. This notion is then quickly proven highly inaccurate as Matsuoka forces Tachibana to come join his "survival game" team and participate alongside him in an upcoming tournament. Initially the anime feels like something quite similar to Ouran Koukou Host Club as the protagonist is a girl (Tachibana Hotaru) crossdressing as a boy who ends up becoming indebted to a popular guy (Matsuoka Masamune) who works as a Now that doesn't mean it's the worst anime ever made (it definitely isn't), but it has a huge amount of wasted potential due to its weak story, horrendous characterization, and the fact that the author is seemingly completely clueless about how airsoft works. I don't think I've ever seen an anime with as many blatant plot holes and as much inconsistent writing as Aoharu x Kikanjuu. As time goes on, Hotaru begins to develop a close friendship with the rest of the team and hopes to take part in realizing their dream of winning the Top Combat Game (TCG), a tournament to decide the best survival game team in Japan.Īlthough Hotaru tries her best, there are just two little problems: she is absolutely terrible at the game, and Toy Gun Gun doesn't allow female members on their team! ![]() Although she is initially unhappy with this turn of events, Hotaru quickly begins to enjoy what survival games have to offer and is determined to pay off her debt, much to the dismay of Tooru Yukimura, the other member of Toy Gun Gun. Upon arriving at the club, however, she is challenged to a so-called "survival game" by the host Masamune Matsuoka, where the first person hit by the bullet of a toy gun will lose.Īfter a destructive fight which results in Hotaru's loss, Masamune forces the young "boy" to join his survival game team named Toy Gun Gun, in order to repay the cost of the damages that "he" has caused inside the club. ![]() After hearing rumors that her best friend was tricked by the popular host of a local club, Hotaru seeks to punish the evildoer. Furthermore, Hotaru is actually a girl who likes to disguise herself as a boy. All three brothers are named after one of earth's seasons: Fuyuo's name means "winter," Akio's name means "autumn," and Haruo's name means "spring." Their sister Natsuko's name is "summer.Hotaru Tachibana has a strong sense of justice and just cannot help confronting those who choose to perform malicious acts.In the second half of the manga during the war between West and South, only Akio is seen and it is unknown where the other two brothers are. They usually do not work separately and fight together on missions. Fuyuo uses an M2 Browning, Akio uses an M249 SAW, and Haruo uses an M60. Later on, all three signed up as mercenaries under Mugenya's mercenary guild, and they use machine guns as their weapon, hence their namesake. It was not until Kanta tried to rape Natsuko that the brothers found out about this, and they beat up Kanta within an inch of his life. In return, Kanta got to fondle Natsuko's breasts, and the three brothers did not know about this. As children, Kanta always got them to do bad things and get into trouble until Natsuko Kawaguchi convinced Kanta to stop. Fuyuo is the oldest sibling (20 years old), Akio is the middle brother (19 years old), and Haruo is the youngest (17 years old).Īll three brothers grew up with Kanta Mizuno in Water Station 30. Haruo hangs a large banner from his back with the kanji for "Handyman." Haruo and Fuyuo have black hair while Akio has brown hair, and Haruo is the only one without any scars on his face. While Akio and Haruo both wear their sunshades with the symbol of the Handyman Guild, Fuyuo usually does not wear his sunshade. All three brothers wear tan ponchos and white desert masks.
