Anime Relations: Inu x Boku SS, Inu x Boku SS: Miketsukami-kun Henka/Switch/Omamagoto
This is the Two-hundred-and-nineteenth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

Welcome back everyone. Last week we finished reviewing the meganekkos of 2012, as is tradition for January. This month I've decided to do something different. I will hold a month-long theme, but the catch is that I'm not going to tell you until the final blog! I'm sure that some readers might find out the answer, but who knows.

Anyway, today I'd like to look at my favorite loli.

: Why thank you Empry. I am truly honored at your request. The only problem is, you've already done me! You're so foolish, but since you wanted to look at me I'll forgive you. Just... Don't stare at my butt like your friend seems to.

What? I didn't mean you, Rika.

: Of COURSE you did. I mean, what other lolis do you like. Hmm, there WAS that one Nagi goddess girl that you had your eyes on....

: Couldn't be her though, you've done her as well! Hmmm.... Any hints?

I'm sure that the readers have already figured it out, Rika.

: Too bad! I blame them being able to use meta knowledge like the name of the blog or any relations! As for another guess it shouldn't be too hard. Lolis you like tend to follow a certain theme. Think, Rika, think! *Rika concentrates hard*.

: Oh, I know. There's that one Kuro girl. Not the Kuroneko one, that one ten year old from that one "Lolicon's dream" anime. You mean her?

You mean Kuro Kagami? Nope, though at least you chose one that I haven't done a blog on that time.

: Well then, why don't you just tell me!

Today's girl is:


Ririchiyo Shirakiin
from
Inu x Boku SS


: Knew that she'd have a hime cut. You're so predictable Topaz.

I know, though I'm not ashamed of that fact.

: You SHOULD be, pervert!
*Ririchiyo thinks to herself "That was a horrible first impression! Stupid, stupid! Now, try to save that"*
: I mean... salutations. And thank you- Empry, was it?- for allowing me to join you in your internet series.

: You know that he's going to talk about you, right?

: The world deserves to hear of my accomplishments!
*"T-that wasn't too egotistical, right? Curse it self, you're trying to get friends! Stop panicking!"*

: But that includes your body! Aren't you ashamed that he called you a loli due to your flat chest?

I know, I often make that connection. Even if the girl in question is older. It's just something that I find a bit easier.

: Wait, he'll talk about my body? What kind of maniac does that!

: A SPECIAL kind of one, like Topaz!

*cough* Well, I suppose that we should start getting into the series then!

Head
Hair: It's funny that we head out of the gate with Ririchiyo's STRONGEST point. At least, for me it is. Ririchiyo's hair is really GORGEOUS. First off, it's long. Long enough to touch her butt, if not a bit further. Secondly, it's a really beautiful dark purple color, with perhaps just a hint of blue here and there. Again, it's a color that I really love. Often times I'd say that black is the best color, but no. Ririchiyo's purple hair is absolute perfection for her. Next, while it does have a bit of a wave to the side at times, her hair is nearly a straight shot down, though it still isn't solid and it seems that great care was put into animating and positioning her hair with every movement. She might have it up at times as well, but that's only when it would be understandable, such as bathing or cleaning. As for cleaning, she had her hair in a downward-pointed ponytail and even had a cloth in her hair to keep dust from getting in her hair. She even had twintails in a "dream sequence" of sorts. And then, of course, as a loli I have my eyes on you've got to figure that she has a hime cut. And Ririchiyo certainly has a beautiful one. I mean, her bangs are pretty much perfect for my tastes. I mean, there's slight imperfections in her straight cut, but I don't care, Ririchiyo's hair is PERFECT and it'll be difficult for another girl to have better hair than her!
Oh, and before I forget, Ririchiyo also has a demonic form. Nothing much changes except the fact that she gains horns. Not too demonic though, like you'd expect. A horn appears over each ear and they only curve slightly. They also have what I'm assuming to be natural stripes. They don't look like they'd be a problem if you want to give her a kiss though, and while I'm not a person who likes girls with horns Ririchiyo's aren't bad. Especially because they don't ruin her hime cut or her even seem to damage her hair at all. She even gets a cute flower added in that form for additional cuteness!
Grade: A+

Eyes: Ririchiyo's eyes are also beautiful. I love the art style of Inu x Boku SS, and the eyes are one of my favorite reasons. They're so big and nicely shaped. They also look so soft and-

: Hey, you're doing Ririchiyo's eyes. Not some busty meganekko's flabs of useless meat!

I didn't even pick up on that, but I guess I did put it that way. The reference is unintentional, I'll let you know. Anyway, like her hair her eyes are also purple. A lighter shade though, but that still looks fantastic. The color is even a bit shiny, bringing more attention to her eyes. She has cutesy eyes on occasion, but far more often she has tsurime eyes (meaning that the corners of her eyes are near the top).

There is another bonus though, and the thing that shoots Ririchiyo past every other loli that I like. You see, there's probably a lot of lolis with hime cuts, but she's probably the only girl that also wears GLASSES. Okay, so she only wears them on occasion, but still. The occasions are at least common enough to say that she wears them once per episode or so. In addition, it seems that Ririchiyo is quite a fashionista as she has at least a few pairs of different framed glasses. From my quick research she's worn a frameless set and a fully-framed set. Both have their strong points, but I do prefer the thick frames of the former. Either way, I would love to have seen her wear them more, but I suppose that absence makes my heart grow fonder..
Grade: A

Face: Again, the art style of Inu x Boku SS is one of my favorites. (Nearly) Every character has such a soft facial expression that I want to squish! In a completely nonsexual and nonviolent manner, of course. Ririchiyo's cheeks seem especially pinchable, and if I were to poke them they might even jiggle! She also has a sweet blush and a gentle curve. The only problem would be that she gets angry or depressed on occasion, but even then she's as cute as a button. If that button was an adorable, soft-looking loli of course. In other words, from the neck up, Ririchiyo is undeniably one of the most moe girls I've ever seen.
Grade: A

Body
Build: As I said in the beginning, Ririchiyo is a loli. That might be a bit unfair, though. She's not a loli.



Not counting flashbacks, of course


A better way of saying Ririchiyo's body type would be comparing it to a preteen, such as Nagi from Kannagi or even Shana. Yes, I'll even compare Ririchiyo to the body of what I would consider an "ideal" loli body. She has an INCREDIBLE body, one I'm certainly attracted to. First, her height is 145 cm (4'9") and she weighs 35 kg (77 lbs), making her shorter than most of the other characters (I don't mind much. It even makes her able to be carried around cutely by the other characters). Her skin is also a bit pale, but that just makes her cuter by bringing out the color of her dark hair and eyes more (not to mention making it more apparent when she blushes). She's curved pretty perfectly, with a slender figure. Her butt certainly isn't slender though (though it also isn't big), and she shows it off quite often as well. Clothed, at least. The shower scene is ruined by her hair (one of the flaws of having long hair). Her legs are also another strong point, especially if they're covered in pantyhose or her delicious zettai ryouiki-causing thighhighs. In fact, one of the other characters (Nobara, the resident meganekko loving of moe) wants to put her finger into her thighhighs at one point, and if she did get the opportunity I'd be very jealous. In fact, would you mind since you're here, Riri?

: *"Oh my! If I refuse this offer he might not care about me anymore. But I can't let him do something so... Disgustingly perverse as that! He's no better than Nobara!"* N-no. B-but if you want I'll allow you to put your h-head on my lap.

*Topaz sets his head on Ririchiyo's wonderful thigh-high clad thighs and immediately beams a smile.*

: *flustered* Ah Ah! Now I can't move, Rika! What should I do!

: TOPAZ! You have a blog to complete!

Can't I do it from here?

: NO!

Fine then! *gets up* I should also add that, again, the Inu x Boku SS art style is one of my favorites. However, in all the times I've repeated that, I forgot to point out one fact. It's also a show that doesn't mind using chibis for certain reactions. And as you know, shows that do that are almost always loved by me. Just something that I should add eventually, though it probably would have made more sense up in face or eyes (not that she doesn't seem to shrink or have her body simplified a bit).
Grade: A-

Breasts: Unfortunately, but completely understandable, Ririchiyo doesn't score well here. Now, she's not washboard-like as she has a bit of a bump, but her outfits still make her seem less-than-endowed. It fits her body type though, she's the "loli" character in her series. We also see a lot of service, from nipple-hidden baths and showers to things like popped shirts Ririchiyo shows off her chest quite a bit throughout the series. Another "plus", I suppose it could be called, is that Ririchiyo doesn't mind being on the flat side. Glad to see girls like her be proud of themselves rather than succumbing to the "green-nippled monster".

: Ewww, that sounds gross.

: It certainly does. Topaz, don't reference that saying like that ever again.
Grade: D+

Clothes: Ririchiyo has a surprisingly varied wardrobe, at least for a fictional character. First off, I'll talk about her school uniform. Take note though, while we do see her in school it's not like it's the only outfit she wears (again, unlike a few other characters), and I'm not even sure if it's an "official" uniform or if it's just what she wears there. It consists of a black deep v neck dress with four buttons on each and no sleeves. Underneath that, she wears a white long sleeve ruffle blouse, and to top it off she wears plain black shoes and gray thigh length socks. Again, the socks cause her to have beautiful absolute territory. Another common outfit is the one in her demon form. She has a long black scarf with crimson red butterflies across it, topped off with gauntlets. She wears a dark red hakama/miko outfit, but with a miniskirt. Her legs are complimented by her black leggings, and on her lower back there is a tied demon mask. She might SEEM taller, but that's just because she wears high-heeled traditional shoes with it.
Other than those two, she wears a great variety of outfits. Mostly fancy, but nothing too exotic or that doesn't seem to fit her personality (she tends to favor black, white, grey, blue, and brown as far as colors go. All of them are beautiful choices in my opinion). She does wear spats on one occasion (while she's cleaning), and while bent over gives a very nice look at her tush.

: P-PERVERT! *"Self, do you really want to associate yourself with a pervert like this? B-But I don't want to leave him alone... either..."*

You're blushing cutely!

: I-I'm not! STUPID!

Anyway, getting back to Ririchiyo's clothing choices I also love when she wears only a shirt. A half-buttoned one at that, no less. She also wears gym clothes, including red shorts, during one scene. Unfortunately, despite going to the beach she decides to wear a two piece white swimsuit instead of a school swimsuit. We do get an imagine spot of her wearing one though, and she looked FABULOUS. She definitely pulls off that swimsuit with her slender body.
Grade: A-

Mind
Personality: The first thing I should tell you about Ririchiyo is that she's a tsunshun. No, not a tsundere (though you're half there). She acts angry outwardly, but rather than getting cute about it after she becomes depressed and pessimistic. She's antisocial, but wants to help cure that aspect of her. She even went to a special apartment complex to center her thoughts. She's still pretty aloof, but at least she has plenty of friends. She even picked up a somewhat-stalkerish Soushi and became his master. Though it turns out that the two of them were also childhood friends, secretly exchanging letters (though Ririchiyo did not know it was him). Speaking of her childhood, she had a particularly bad one. She was born into a wealthy and notable family, though since she was a descendant of a demon she was shunned away. She was locked away, and became very jealous of her younger sister as she got all the love and support of her parents. She was even physically abused by her father! Even in school she was bullied and said that she was boring. This likely explains her haughty personality today. She's also sarcastic and even shy at times. She's also smart as well as not being as shallow as the other girls in the dorm. She has a hard time communicating to others, and even wrote a very long letter of apology.

: You fool, I-I was merely practicing my penmanship!
I do like Ririchiyo's personality, but while her sarcasm and comments are entertaining I'm not a fan of the tsunshun personality. It feels somewhat textbook tsundere "well, I didn't do it for YOU" reactions, while her shun portion gets depressing. I don't MIND her reactions though, they're still cute and bring a smile to my face, as predictable as they are. She's well written and has a lot of depth, especially when it comes to her and Soushi's romance. She's definitely a girl I like. Heck, her costars are a KanaHana dandere (Karuta) and a busty meganekko with a cute girl fetish (Nobara) and I STILL love watching the loli MORE you know that she's special. Or that they messed up horribly on the other two (which they didn't, both girls are fine for my tastes).

Ririchiyo's voice actress is Rina Hidaka. Her voice is nearly spot on, and I wouldn't change it. It could stand to be a bit deeper, but that's personal preference and compared to Hidaka's other works Ririchiyo is lower. Not a bad voice, I say. In addition, the "Boku" in the title refers to Ririchiyo herself. Yes, she uses the "Boku" phrase, which I find to be very attractive. I don't know why, maybe because it's more common with young boys or "dominant" women (though not always). Whatever it is, Ririchiyo's voice is very cute.
Grade: B+

Libido: It might surprise you, but Ririchiyo won't score all that well here. Sure, she's "perverse" in the way that she wants to be with Soushi, but she has a hard time doing anything. She spent most of the series just asking him to come to her place for coffee! Not only that, but despite being the "master" in the relationship she has a hard time being on top. Soushi loves to tease his lover, even going as far as to transform (he's a spirit fox) into both a younger, shota form and an adult female form. Ririchiyo was so flustered that she couldn't do anything, but he took advantage of that to tease her further. Though, the image of Ririchiyo patting and hugging a cute young boy was very wonderful for me as was having a busty girl hit on her (not that it's that rare with Nobara around, though). Still, due to her not properly demanding her dominance her score suffers.
Grade: C+

Age: Ririchiyo is, depending on when you're talking about in the story, either 15 or 16. That doesn't sound too bad, but she's still outside my "perfect" zone. Also, some people claim that the relationship between her and Soushi (who is in his low twenties) is odd due to age. Not because Ririchiyo is underage, but more that the distance between their ages is too great. I'm not one of them, though.
Grade: B

Total Grades: 80
Average score: 8.9
Final Grade: B+

And that's another favored girl from 2012 down. It's unfortunate that, despite being my favorite loli, Ririchiyo didn't get enough points to deserve an image.

: Well, it's not like I got an image either! I was your favorite loli once, right?

Who said that? And where did Ririchiyo go?

: Stop ignoring me!

I'm just joking Rika *pats her head*. But with all the things that you've had to go through I thought that I'd get a new assistant.

: WHAT? But I've been around for years! How dare you replace me!

(from the other room) : Don't worry, I'll be sure to protect Topaz quite fine.

*Topaz and Rika turn their heads to face Ririchiyo as she stands at the door frame*
