Reminds me of...

[mivaness_91]

Based on the picture (since I don't have the game yet), Soseki reminds me of Shigure from Fruits Basket character..

Spoiler:

Or, a mixture of Kana and Mako from ToTT.. That signature Mako curve smile.

Spoiler:

Of course, this is just me.. Soseki looks cool on his own though

[Nurse Fin]

Soseki is like Kaji from Evangelion but not as cool :p

This kind of explains why I'm so attracted to Sengoku so much. WOW. xD

I absolutely loved Shigure when I was little (read the books in middle school. « Harvest Goddess » I'm old).
Mako is my favorite villager from ToTT, and I always say Mako + Kana = Sengoku. Yay~!

I love this dude. I hope he smiles/smirks like that often. It kills me.

[StormFire]

LOL, I so agree with the Shigure thing! xD Lol, I love that anime and manga x3 And that's what I first thought when I saw Soseki for the first time,too. But, that mixture of Kana and Mako sort of does look like him :O

[Lon Lon]

I've seen people compare him to Shigure, but never Kana and wow I can see the similarities!

I'm sorry but I can only think of this.

That smirk! What is it with older looking guys and that smile that makes my heart goes *badump* ?

I can imagine him saying lovely romantic things to the MC with that smile. That would be enough to make me like him. He can't blush though, it doesn't fit him! He's too cool to blush! :p

I also thought Shigure immediately. Of course, his English name is from this guy:


Natsume Soseki

[mivaness_91]

^
^ Could it be because the company who translated to English is ... Natsume Inc. ?? *gasp* haha
I wonder why they change the names anyway.. It gets confusing sometimes.

[severely]

I honestly hadn't thought of him as being similar to Mako! With the side-by-side images, though, I can totally see it. It actually makes me like him a bit more. Mako was one of my favorite characters from ToTT. If Soseki has lots of fun personality, I think I'll warm up to him.

...That sounds terribly superficial. Don't judge me too terribly.

This so much. xD And yeah, I hope his 'blush' isn't really a blush...so excited to see all his expressions though.

[Blue Bell]

Aww yeah I read Fruitsbasket in middle school too. In fact I've been re-reading them lately...

I made the exact same association with him and Shigure but since it's just because he's an "older" writer in traditional clothing, I felt kind of shallow for making that connection. I'm glad I'm not the only one XD I used to like Shigure a lot too, but reading him now and understanding more, I just think he's a creep hhahahah.

I bet I'll like Soseki though. The only things that make me wary are that his gimmick might get a little old (I had to drop Toby in ToT after too much nap talk) and that his facial anatomy is a little odd.

Actually, I kind of wish they'd just made him look like the real Natsume Soseki. I think he's pretty handsome in that picture there. Like a japanese Nichola Tesla.

Hahaha -- well, his Japanese name is Sengoku, though. :c I guess they didn't want to use that name for some reason, and picked up "Soseki" since novels yay.

But yeah, Soseki's pretty awesome, I took a course on him in college. (I recommend Matt Treyvaud's translation of Botchan, available on Kindle, if anyone is interested in reading some of his work. It's a really modern, funny translation, and you could probably finish it in a day. n_n)
