Author's Commentary #50:
Time to discuss Chapter 50: Ai Kamuro and Michiko Azami.
Of all the revised chapters, this one easily got the biggest overhaul as it now showcases Ai's backstory. This was a big gripe I had for ages, but now I'm finally able to put it to rest thanks to this chapter. Now let's move on to Ai herself.
Her name in kanji is 禿 愛 (Kamuro Ai) which literally translates to "bald love". Obviously fitting since Ai has a massive bald fetish. But there's more.
Her birthday is October 14th which is Be bald and free day. Yeah, Ai's whole character is bald, bald, BALD! Though I'll talk more about her later when more is revealed about her in the story. As such, I won't be revealing her rating just yet, but as you can surmise, it's gonna be big. All I'll say is she enjoys being bald, shaving women bald, and is attracted to women and strives to form a harem of bald women.
Her favorite piece is the queen, mainly because she views herself as the queen of all women.
Originally, Ai was meant to go bald here in order to showcase her personality, but I decided to instead have her stuck in role-play hell. The reason for that is because Michiko fears she'll become too horney and uncontrollable id she shaved her bald, but in order to ease her libido, will engage in role-play. As such, she's even got a drawer full of bald caps which she'll occasionally use on Ai. Speaking of which, let's talk about SPCM Himitsuchan.
執見 美智子 (Azami Michiko) is how her name is spelled in kanji. Her first name, 美智子, means "beauty", "wisdom", and "thinker", while her last name, 執見, means "take hold of" and "to meet".
Her birthday is January 25th.
Like Ai, her favorite piece is the queen.
One thing I'll mention about Michiko is that she actually underwent a notable redesign, and now sports a more stylish hair-style that I feel fits her much better than the original. Speaking of redesigns, SPCM Himitsusama, aka Mizuse Niimi, also got a minor redesign in terms of hairstyle.
新美 美都砂 (Niimi Mizuse) is how Mizuse's name is written in kanji. 美都砂 means "beauty", "capital", and "sand" while 新美 means "modern" and "beauty".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).
Her birthday is September 9th, which is international beauty day. She also shares this birthday with Yuzuha and Waki from Spice of life. Funnily enough, this means that September 9th is now the day that has the most number of birthdays for characters created by me, at least for now.
Her favorite piece is the queen, mainly because she believes it is the most beautiful piece on the board.
Mizuse hails from Okinawa and is known as Himitsusama. She's quite skilled at chess and is also the CEO of one of the world's largest women's beauty brands, Mizuse Niimi. She was originally set to appear much later in the story, but I decided to have her appear earlier and have a bigger role in the story.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
