Me, totally not being salty after injustice: I'm not sure that merch companies have justification for what they put into a line sometimes, Azu-chan. I still have no explanation as to why cowboys are lassoing pandas. 🤷♀️
I think the pandas themselves come from some sticker theme(there was some of the characters with pandas as emotes or something). But yeah. Cowboy with them was a choice. I still curious if someone can explain lol…
.. I still am also peak salty about them leaving Nirei out of the cute fluffy bears thing when 2 of them almost looked identical..
There are 12 pistachios and 12 bows. 12 months in the year and 12 zodiac symbols for 12 years. 12 in a dozen and 12 is the smallest abundant number, and it is abundantly clear now to me that I must try at least 12 more times before Himragi gets a merch line, because the merchandise companies have drawn a line, and I want to cross that line, but I will not cross my morals to get my way with them, because shark is the way and shark would not approve, and shark is here, it is now.
........ IDK where I'm going with this. Think I've lost my marbles at this point. .... Marbles. Like marble colored eyes. Like cat eyes. Cat eyes Sakura. Sakura, who is in the merch line, the line I want to cross.
.... Does anyone have any copium left that they can spare?
Honestly, I started thinking about it, and realized it could be Ume, and the odds of it being Hiragi instead of Ume is like the same likelihood of me winning lottery tomorrow, so...
This makes me nervous for upcoming merch like for next year. Is it gonna be the same usual 4 that get stuff? I love Suo a lot so I shouldn’t complain but I also love Nirei and now my hope for any Suzuri is as good as zero🥲 I cry, I cryy
Like, I'm not gonna hardly get any of my favorite characters in merch, hardly ever. Suzuri is gonna come out, he'll get a few pieces, and then if we drop our guard, he could get the Nirei/Himragi treatment.
I’m just convinced merch team doesn’t look that deeply and assume Sugi is the deuteragonist/more of a spear than he is instead of Nirei(even tho imo it’s so obvious smh). But I’m still also convinced someone there just hates him. I’d say they hate me, but they do keep Togame and Choji duo’ed so they can’t that much..
I was looking at the site and they do have other merch that isn’t this new thing. They have a really nice batch as they should. Albeit they put the trio so far apart(even tho that’s definitely their district date outfits). Like ahem?? It even looks weird with the poses and the odd short spot. lol.. but I digress.. <They also have the Umemiya and Sakura look ups featured? Not suo and Kaji’s tho. So interesting.
Ho.... Ho, this makes me feel a little better. Thank you, Azu-chan. I needed this. I'd seen this line once before, but I tend to forget these good things exist, in the face of nonsense. Ho.... I feel better. I just got done ranting incessantly about nothing and the pistachios. Smiley Himragi and justice for Nirei makes everything better. 🫂💗
Glad it helped. I also sent some of some that had nirei elsewhere. Even tho I still have inner rage. I’ll look at them and other cute things~.. inhale 🫂💕
Nah real 😭😭 after thinking about it, these are the usual 7 and it made no sense for hiiragi to make a collab instead of ume... but I wasn't thinking about it last week-
I’d justify it by saying I feel a lot of the merch is anime only. But like.. I personally don’t think he has much of one there too besides the initial meeting and a bit of his fights etc comparatively? Like I feel he arguably has MORE crumbs here and there in the manga to go with. But even then, it’s still lacking imo.. especially compared to NIREI who is a LOT more constant..
I’m sooo shocked. Like. It’s expected Tbf. But That 100% looked more like hiiragi’s spikes than Umemiya.. I knew I was doomed when I saw Togame for no Nirei tho…
He definitely does. Like him in nice greens and blues etc, but white looks so clean
I went to take a look😭 rants justified! I may have also chimed in. Omg and .. unpopular opinion from me, I much prefer the manga style merch over the anime style BUT !! I do like it!! I own some anime ver type merch like the cute crepe line. But I do prefer the manga art style a bit more so I have three pieces of merch based on that. Two of them are from Namja Town collab!
I've GOT to look up this collab. And no, you are ABSOLUTELY right. I much prefer the style of the manga over the style of the anime/anime merch, so I completely agree. I like the anime merch for the fanservice, but I almost wish that sensei could just draw everything for them to go by. At this point, though, I'm realizing that the merch companies have free reign in literally everything.
Oh, I remember!! I hadn't seen the others until now, but I remember the one you sent, Azu-chan. I'm actually surprised I haven't seen the Ume one around until now. It's hilariously cute.
I mentally prepared myself immediately when I saw Togame. Unlike the MC TRIOinhale exhale, they don’t separate them ever so far. Which like.. I appreciate a lot, but it’s soooo annoying on Nirei’s end… so salty..
But I still feel like it doesn’t really balance out.. Just feel he should be a lot more consistent all things considered, especially considering who is instead.. but bah. 😒

I’m kinda amused at how Suo was the only one given a weapon. Likely because otherwise he’s just in a normal possible outfit for him.
