i first got into enstars in mid-2022. i didnt really care about tatsumi in the beginning, in fact my fave was eichi! thats cuz i still hadnt read enstars!! main story, so even though i knew about alkaloid they didnt really get my attention. at the same time, the hyperfixation chip didnt get activated immediately, so didnt really get heavily into enstars until i installed jpstars later in november of the same year. that is, when i finally got around and started reading the !! era main story, i feel deeply in love with this silly little guy and his dumb ass starter cg! even though his appearance didnt catch my attention immediately cuz i thought hmm...hes cute but im not going crazy..., his voice did! his voice is so sweet and lovely, i love his seiyuu! so i started consuming everything i could related to him and by christmas i was absolutely insane over tatsumi kazehaya. i took the tatsumiP pill and never looked back...
since then, ive been really tatsumipilled! i dont think ive ever liked a guy as much as i like this one. i have a small collection of polaroids and cards along with my precious tatsumi nui son, who is almost always coming with me to everywhere i go! thanks to tatsumi kazehaya i got into oshikatsu. because it got... really serious.
reading obbligato really gave me another vision of his character that i never expected. to say i cried is an understatement... and its really fun cuz i spent my christmas day of 2022 reading it and crying! his story is powerful enough to have given me another vision of life. other than liking tatsumi as a character, i like what he represents. since then, ive fell in love with him! i wouldnt say im a yumejoshi per se, but if he was in front of me id have no other choice than asking his hand in marriage... lol.
something that i also think is crucial for his character is his relationship with himeru. this is not me being a huge tatsuhime shipper (which i am. i am autistic) but acknowledging how their stories are widely intertwined from the beginning to the end. as tatsumi's main conflict of his self-sacrifical, reality-negationist character is related to kaname, himeru's brother, himeru's story of taking on kaname's identity to make his dreams come true and find his true self through it is clearly related to kaname too, and to tatsumi. as himeru said once, tatsumi never had bad intentions. he's just innocent and loves other too much. yeah, this is a spoiler... MOVE ON. overall, tatsumi's story cant be completed when himeru's isnt, and viceversa. which is one of the reasons i love tatsuhime so much, other than the potential of their dynamic (as in how funny it, how interesting it is, etc). anyways, i just love tatsumi as a concept and his backstory is crazy to me. probably one of the best backtories ive ever read. so many things about him that i like!! my sweetheart. i love tatsumi and i strive to be better, always!
