This is the Two-hundred-and-seventy-fourth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

==Previously, Topaz has been climbing the tower of an idol company, hoping to get a song that turns people into zombies taken off the air. We finally begin this blog just as he arrives at the manager's office...==

Secretary: I'm sorry, you can't go in there.

Kotori? I should have expected you here. Why can't I go in to see Ritsuko?

Kotori: She seems to have been swamped with a lot of scandals about idols recently. She told me not to let anyone in unless they have an appointment.

Well, perhaps I can change your mind if...

*Kotori raises her hand.*

Kotori: Don't even think about writing a blog about me. No one wants to read about a C-Christmas cake like myself....

Nonsense, I'm sure loads of people would and-

Kotori: Plus you don't have a rough draft of my sheet and you wouldn't do a blog without that. AND you'd mess up your carefully-planned Arc end if you moved your favorite idol to next month.

That is a good point. I'm sure many people came to read about Ritsuko so I'd better give them what they want. But how do you know about my blogs?

Kotori: Woman's intuition! *opens a newspaper to hide her blushing face.* Anyway, you still can't see her without an appointment.

????: Well, luckily we have one!

*Both Kotori and Topaz turn to the purple-haired loli.*

Riri!

Ririchiyo: That's right, I've finally done my job of being your assistant and made an appointment!

Good job Riri! *Rubs her loli head, barely messing up her hime cut. She blushes as a result.*

Riri: I-It wasn't anything. I figured that you would have been DUMB and not made one so I made one while you were missing!

*Kotori rustles through papers.*

Kotori: Indeed, there IS an appointment for a one "Ririchiyo Shirakiin". Go ahead inside, but watch out for the Puchi.

The... Puchi?

*While discussing the matter of appointments, a white haired and head-banded chibi character fell asleep in front of the door onward. It snores cutely.*

Awww, so cute!

Riri: Psst, which one's that? I've forgotten.

I don't blame you. That's Takanya, Takane's puchi. Even I forgot about discussing her during Takane's blog. Well, it's more that I wasn't thinking of referencing the Puchis at the time, but still. Now let's gently move her...

*Topaz bends over to move Takanya, but a gleam appears as her eyes open. Suddenly it jumps up and kicks him in the face with a vertical kick. She even hits him with her other foot on the rebound. He staggers back with a bloody nose.*

Riri: This is no time to be turned on by a chibi's panties, Topaz!

This is an injury-based nosebleed, not a perversion one!

Riri: Oh, and then why is KOTORI's nose bleeding?

*Indeed Kotori's nose seems to bleeding like a near-waterfall of pink.*

THAT would be a perversion one... But getting back to Takanya, how are we going to get past that SPECIAL move?

Riri: What, did it make you see SAKURA? (This isn't the time to make jokes, Riri. Now everyone will know you watched such a perverted show!)

Fortunately it did not, though sadly I don't know what to do next...

*Takanya makes a noise and scribbles on a sheet of paper. She then holds it up.*

Sign: Grumble Grumble

*Takanya then lowers it and both Topaz and Riri hear her stomach growl.*

That's a great idea, Takanya!

*Topaz leaves the room and purchases a bowl of ramen from a vending machine as well as using a water-heater to cook it. He then sets it on a nearby table and wafts the scent towards the puchi. She wanders onto the table and does her "Pose of acquiring Ramen", essentially just spreading her arms over her head as well as she can, and begins eating with determination and cuteness.*

Riri: I'm surprised she'd eat vending machine ramen.

I guess she was really hungry, but it won't give us much time so onward!

*Riri and Topaz enter Ritsuko's room. There they see her slaving away at papers.*

Ritsuko: I thought I told Kotori not to let anyone in.

Riri: Don't worry, we made an appointment.

Ritsuko: *sigh* I guess I'd better listen to you then. Go ahead and take a seat...

*Topaz and Riri move papers from two chairs and take a seat before Ritsuko's desk.*

Ritsuko: So what can I do for you, and make it quick.

I want to do a blog on you, and also-

Ritsuko: A blog on ME? Aren't you sure you want another one of our idols? Perhaps Takane, or Azusa? Both are bigger than I am...

But you're BETTER!

Riri: Plus he's already done BOTH of those girls. Yukiho too.

Ritsuko: Wait, Yukiho too? That's a coincidence. All three of them have scandals going on. *glares at Topaz* You didn't have anything to do with them, did you?

*Topaz is nervous* O-of course not!

*Ritsuko catches his lie.*

Ritsuko: NONSENSE! You look JUST like this guy Azusa was with last week! *slams a scandalous newspaper on her desk in front of Topaz.*

Riri: I KNEW I had to watch you. Look, you're dating some dumb busty girl! *tosses the newspaper at Topaz's face. He holds it up and reads it afterward*

H-hey, this is from last week! We were just in THIS building, and she was just helping me find the stairs!

Ritsuko: That... actually is a fair excuse. What about the guy who fell into Yukiho's hole and was never seen again?

Also me, though as you can see there's not a scratch on me. Well, excluding the nosebleed but that's more Takanya's fault...

*Ritsuko writes quick notes on a piece of paper for later.*

Ritsuko: Your eyewitness reports are PERFECT then, you're really helping solve some of these scandals. Just one more; speaking of Takanya, or at least Takane, what happened in that Ramen shop that made all those customer's ill?

Gas leak.

Ritsuko: That sounds sort of farfetched...

Riri: You can't lie like that Topaz.

I'm not, plenty of gas leaked right out of Taka-

*Ritsuko interrupts him.* Alright, alright. That's a bit too much information, I don't want to know in case I'm questioned. Though you ARE right, there was a "gas leak" in a certain way. *finishes writing* And with that, my workload is finished!

That's good to hear! It means you've got plenty of time for the blog now!

Ritsuko: *sigh* I guess I can be talked about. Go right ahead.

You heard her everyone...

Today's girl is:



Ritsuko Akizuki
from
The iDOLM@STER


Head
Hair: Ritsuko's hair is a very nice shade of brown. I do like brown hair as it's one of my favorites. As far as length her hair is about... medium, possibly? It's hard to tell as her hair is usually up. Usually it's either in braided pigtails or in a high-bun. Personally I like the pigtails more, though I'd prefer if they were a bit more Moemura and less old-fashioned burger icon. We do at least see her with more shoulder-pigtails (IE: ones that rest on her shoulders rather than sticking up like a couple shrimp) as well as with her hair down in the credits for her episode. It goes about to her shoulder blades, if you're curious. She also seems to have two antenna, though they're less obvious when her hair is up. In a past picture we see her as an idol with a ponytail, though this isn't how she is in the games (sadly). Her sidecurls go to her shoulders which is nice so I predict that her hair down is about the same. She has straight bangs but not a hime cut (both because it's not dense enough as well as her side curls not being thick enough as well). I blame her part, though it's a lot better than in Xenoglossia. I really dislike the M-style of bangs she has there.
Grade: A-

Eyes: I mainly know Ritsuko from the Slice of Life show so I see her more as a brown-haired girl than one with blue eyes (which is great as I like matching eye and hair colors). Her eyes are also nicely puni-looking as is the case with most of the idols. She does have an eyelash in the corner, though that's not too big of a problem. Sadly she doesn't have a slope though, I wouldn't mind her with a Tsurime...
Of course, we can't forget that Ritsuko wears glasses. Not only that, but she PERFORMS in them and is rarely seen without them! There is one card without them, but I assume that's because people are dumb and at least it's a SR. Still, boo that. As far as the glasses themselves, they're a somewhat thick-framed pair with narrow lenses. Not so narrow that I can't see her being able to see through them and at least it covers most of her eye as well. Though on occasion, like with a lot of full-frames, she'll be drawn without the top frame so you can see her eye more.
Grade: A

Face: Like the other girls this month Ritsuko has a generic A-1 face. Soft-looking and with a small nose (even if it's implied to be larger than shown by her glasses) but still not all that elegantly drawn. It's especially bad in Ritsuko's case, not because her glasses are some magnet for failure writing, but instead her episode was especially shoddy it seemed. Something just seemed.. off, and they seemed to overuse certain angles (like three-quarters top-down view shots) far more than they should have. That said, she's still a pretty girl and I shouldn't complain too much.
Grade: B

Body
Build: Ritsuko is 156 cm tall and weighs 43 kg. Her measurements are 85-57-85 as well. As you can see, she's probably the most "balanced" girl in Idolmaster as her bust and hips are the same measurement. And it's a fairly sizable measurement at 85 in each, that's about the bare minimum for my "A" rank as well. Unfortunately for her, "minimum" doesn't work as well when you have girls like Azusa or especially Takane to show you up, and Ritsuko looks more slender than anything. Nothing wrong with that, and she DOES have a nice body, but her curvier costars seem to show her up here. I will say that her butt is nice and round as well (as it should be, she was in second hip-wise until Takane blew the rest of them out of the water), at least as far as I can tell.
Grade: B+

Breasts: As stated before, Ritsuko's bust measurement is 85, and that's just enough for an "A" rank. Bare minimum, but there's nothing wrong with that. She doesn't compare well to Takane or Azusa again, but she's medium-sized as far as the show goes. While not as bouncy as Azusa in Puchimas, Ritsuko is fairly "boing-boing" (though Chihya still respects her and doesn't bite).
Grade: A-

Clothes: Ritsuko occasionally wears an idol outfit, though it's much rarer for her to do so. It's only about in "her" episode as she's filling in Azusa and then the finale. The former being a pink and white one that doesn't show off her body all that well as the chest isn't exaggerated and she has a somewhat-tight skirt but the pantyhose is a nice touch (even if it is pink). The latter is a blue and white outfit with a frilly skirt and a shooting star-like strap. To practice she wears a green track suit with it being zipped up and her sleeves pushed up to her upper hands. She also wears at least three bikinis, all of which are some sort of green pattern. Sadly in the show she wears a mini-jacket to hide some of the shape of her chest, but the official art helps. In fact, there's one magazine spread that's JUST Ritsuko in nice clothing!
However, Ritsuko isn't an idol and instead is a manager. Because of this she tends to wear a SUIT more often. I love girls in suits, especially dark ones like Ritsuko wears (it's a nice navy shade). Under the blazer she wears a long-sleeved white blouse with a ruffled collar and on bottom is a matching skirt, though sadly not a tight one. Unfortunately she doesn't wear a tie, let a lone a necktie, though she does have a white ribbon around her neck. There's also another office-like outfit as well, being a white long-sleeved shirt with blue stripes and a tight black skirt with a big belt. It looks very business like as well, and while I like her suit more I expect this to be cooler during the summer months. Even Ritsuko's casual outfits are great!
Grade: A

Mind
Personality: Ritsuko is the type of business-minded girl any company would be happy to have. She's both smart and cool and can stay focused under pressure. She also likes putting things in order and analyzing data (really, these are things her official profile says she likes). She's mainly nice but can be demanding and hard on those that need it. She'll even work someone to the ground! Especially shown in her episode where the two girls Iori and Ami try the same thing on her (though that also backfired for them). She'll even scold the producer if he does something wrong. But it's not like she's played up like a villain either, she's just trying to get the girls to work up to their potential. Not only that, but it's not like she's money-grubbing either so despite being hard she seems only concerned with getting the girls famous and nothing more. She probably knows how hard it is to be an idol as well, considering she's a former one herself. She even has a group of fans that stay loyal, coming to her surprise concert when she filled in for Azusa.
Ritsuko has an above-average voice. I like some of her songs as she has a nice pitch as well and most are pretty fast as well. Her pitch is good in general as well, being right above "average" for me (though my pitch tastes are lower than some). Her voice actress, Naomi Wakabayashi, surprises me by even being a meganekko herself, and Ritsuko is one of her two biggest roles (the other being, surprisingly, Kudryavaka Noumi from the Little Busters).
Grade: A

Libido: In the show proper it seems to be more that Miki going after the Producer while Ritsuko doesn't concern her with such things. However, there's a good amount of fans that would love him to go with Ritsuko instead and this is how Puchimas seems to portray it as well; even Ritsuko's puchi Chicchan gets overly excited when she got patted by the Producer. She's a bit tsundere for him though, not in a bad way though. It's more that she facepalms to idiotic things that he does but still retains her genuine care for him.
Other pairings I've seen for Ritsuko are Kotori and Ryo. Kotori mainly because they're both staff in the shows and I imagine that's the reason. I'm not sure, I haven't done a lot of research as I'm not big on the pair. Ryo however, I wouldn't mind. Sure they're cousins but any girl willing to put a teenage boy in drag I imagine should have a nice libido. Blame my perverse fetishes! Oh, and I guess I should mention her love of penguins in Xenoglossia. I haven't seen the show myself but I've seen her hugging another girl in a penguin suit for some unexplained reason.
Grade: B+

Age: Depending on the point you are in the franchise, Ritsuko is either 18 or 19. I only know her as a 19 year old though. She's a great age, though I'd say that 20 is my limit for an A+ so unfortunately she doesn't surpass that. Also, her birthday is June 23rd.
Grade: A

Total Grades: 90
Average score: 10
Final Grade: A-

Wow, that's a surprisingly great score! I'd better change it...

Riri: Hey, what are you doing? I thought you liked Ritsuko!

I do, but with images being denied I don't know if I can give a great score like this. We haven't had this occur yet.

Riri: It'll be fine. Just add a link. Like this.

That's a great image AND idea, go glasses adjusting! And with that, this blog is complete!

Ritsuko: Wait a minute. You didn't just want to blog about me, right? Because if you did you could have done that without me. Though I do appreciate you asking for permission.

Riri: How could we be so forgetful! Topaz, the song!

Oh yeah! There's been this song called "Kill Topaz" that's been turning people aggressive towards me! We heard that this company had something to do with it, so we came to ask you to stop it.

Ritsuko: Kill... Topaz? That doesn't even sound like a song one of our idols would put out. Even then I'd have to sign off on it. *looks through papers* Ah, here it must be. Eh?!?

*All three are surprised that the notice was signed by a "Ritsuco Akusuchi".*

That's not your name at all!

Ritsuko: Obviously someone wanted you to suffer, and enough to sign my name incorrectly off on it. And apparently the idol's name is just an alias as I've never head of this.. "Patchebel" anywhere. She's certainly not part of 765 productions, at least.

Riri: So you'll take that stupid song off the air?

Ritsuko: You bet I will! Our company won't be suffering any more scandals at this rate! *raises fist to show passion.*

Glad to have that figured out then. Well Riri, I guess it's time for us to close out this blog. Thanks for being such a good sport as well as my favorite idolmaster girl, Ritsuko.

Ritsuko: Always glad to meet a loyal fan.

*Riri and Topaz both leave.*
