This is the Four-hundred-first week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.

Welcome back after a short break of a single day! I'm still here at the Yonomori residence, where we discussed Benio yesterday for Meganekko day. Today we'll be looking at her younger true sister Kobeni, so let's begin!



: Rushing a bit?

Hmm? What are you talking about.

: Well, usually you talk a lot more before blogs.

In all fairness that's usually because there's a lot of build up and I have to ask the girl for permission. I got all that done last time, so it shouldn't be too much trouble.

: Okay, but I blame having to do two in a row making you lazy and having short parts.

It's not too short, though I can't be sure about this one. Either way, let's begin.

: I know I gave permission, but are you still sure you want to talk about me? I can't be too entertaining...

Nonsense!

: Right! Though I hope that no scumbags or perverts read this blog and give Kobeni undue attention.

: I doubt that anyone would read this would put that much effort forward.

: Eh? Why, are they not perverts?

: No, they're definitely perverts. Topaz too. They're just too lazy to do much.

: I see then.

*She turns to Topaz and points.*

: But still, you'd better not say anything unflattering about my adorable little sister!

I apologize if I do, but let's begin!

Head
Hair: It might surprise my readers, but I actually do enjoy Kobeni's hair. It's a reddish color, but not a bad kind. It's a darker shade I think, which sorta helps. Even more surprising is that Kobeni also has twintails, a style I don't normally enjoy. It helps that her tails do hang down from the sides, though she does need some sort of hair decoration such as a band or cute decoration in the base. Like in that one hot spring official art, though she does have the rest of her hair up in a bun. When down Kobeni's hair goes past her shoulders, but not too far (I'm guessing about shoulder blade-length). Her sides are also like her sister, reaching past her shoulders which I do like. Sadly I'm not too fond of Kobeni's bangs, she does have a zig-zag but also a large gap in the middle. Her bangs seem to split in the center, with the hair going towards the sides.
Grade: B-

Eyes: Sadly unlike her sister Kobeni does not wear glasses. Which is a real shame as she could easily have better eyes than Benio. Kobeni's purple eyes are a beautiful, wonderful color and they're really pretty too! I will mention that she did have similar eyes to her sister as a child, being a bit reddish-brown but I would say that this is an improvement. Though I guess that Kobeni does still have circular tarame eyes, though that fits her well. I even find the hearts in her eyes in the opening cute!
Grade: B

Face: While she lacks Benio's epic scenes Kobeni still has a great face. The art style is really great, giving her soft-looking cheeks and a bit of a puni curve. A small dot nose helps as well, and Kobeni's full-face blush is really adorable too. Overall she does really well here too.
Grade: A

Body
Build: Kobeni has a really great body actually, especially for my tastes. She has a curvy figure but she's afraid of putting on weight. It's possible that she's actually plump, which is good, but it's hard to tell. Either way the art style does Kobeni justice. Especially around her butt. She's a bit conscious of the fact that she has "childbearing hips", even if it's meant as a compliment. It's because it reminds her that it's easy for her to put on weight, though I doubt anyone would mind if Kobeni's butt would grow. I know Hakuya certainly wouldn't as he's awesome and thinks big butts are good. Though I guess Kobeni herself minds, as in the series I think she has to buy pants a size bigger because I presume that her butt has grown. That said she does need to show it (but, unlike a lot of other shows, she still has a nice bare butt official art image). Other than her butt she's not too bad, her legs have some nice curve and she's fairly well-proportioned. She also seems to have a scar on her abdomen, from her right side to the middle. Overall I'd say that other than needing to show her butt more she's excellent here.
Grade: A-

Chest: Kobeni does have a large chest, which is funny considering she's the younger sister. That said it's not like her bouncing is out of hand, other than the opening. There's also a moment with Hakuya and Mashiro's mother bounces Kobeni's chest a bit and comments on how heavy they are. There's also a few other moments I'm probably forgetting, and a high amount of official art (not to mention fan art) tends to focus on her chest. It is also said that all her weight goes to her chest, but Kobeni asserts that's a bad thing (I agree, some should go to her tush too). She even says a list of things that big breasts give her trouble with, such as running or squatting. Overall she's pretty nice, but I do wish she'd get more credit for her posterior!
Grade: A-

Clothing: Kobeni has a fair amount of clothing. Like Benio we usually see Kobeni wearing a blue sailor-ish suit with white collars and cuffs and a short grey skirt. Sadly this also includes short socks, must run in the family or something. Anyway Kobeni also has a lot of more-reserved outfits, though they're not boring either. I do like the one we first see her in, a long white shirt with long red and orange sleeves and purple pantyhose. Kobeni also wears an apron on occasion, though it would be much better had she worn nothing underneath. Some other outfits include a winter coat with scarf, a track suit, a pair of red-striped button down pajamas while sick, and in official art a white bikini and a pink bunny outfit. She also wears an olden-times peasant-looking outfit in one of Benio's fantasies. While nothing of Kobeni's is particularly outstanding and she could use some variety, a lot of the outfits fits her well and are cute on her.
Grade: B

Mind
Personality: Kobeni is a really adorable girl. She's a responsible little sister, taking care of most of the housework including cooking and cleaning. She is especially skilled at cooking as well. Kobeni is somewhat smart, though not a genius. She's also quick to accept things, though she occasionally shops to relieve stress. She's cheerful and optimistic as well. She is somewhat sickly on occasion, which causes problems as she gets injured as a child. Fortunately Hakuya saved her, but it did give her amnesia for before that moment. He gave her part of her power as well, possibly making her part-Youkai. Haruka Terui, Kobeni's VA, gives her a nice, gentle voice that fits Kobeni quite well. All in all, even if I can't describe why Kobeni is a really adorable girl that has a lot of appeal for me.
Grade: A-

Libido: The plot of the series begins with Kobeni getting into an arrange marriage with Hakuya, a quiet tall guy. Over the course of the series the two start to fall in love with each other in a realistic fashion. I will say it's more of a romantic love, while Hakuya tends to protect Kobeni from the background. She does finally admit her love, even if Mashiro has to point it out to the two. It's not too much of a perverse relationship, but at least Kobeni was alright with the set up (though she was afraid she wouldn't have enough food once Hakuya and Mashiro start living with them). I'll also remind you that Benio also dotes on Kobeni, not wanting to let her little sister go.
Grade: B

Age: Kobeni does have an official age, as she turns 16 in the first episode. She's also shown in a flashback, but that's not counted. Sadly I think that Hakuya is older than she is (though I'm not sure).
Grade: B

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

: Hmmm, still not as good as Benio. Though I'm not surprised by that fact.

: Yes! Now Kobeni won't get unsavory characters drooling all over her!

: Right, as one is enough...

*She glares at Benio, who does a silly fake smile with her tongue out the side of her mouth.*

: Whoever could you possibly be talking about?

: Hey, if Benio is so into lolis why don't you give her that one photo?

*Benio's eyes become stars.*

: What photo do you speak of?

Oh, I think she means this one!

*Topaz pulls out the photo of Astarotte and Asuha playing around in sukumizus.*

See?

*Benio's mouth gushes as she grabs the photo out of his hands. She wipes it with her sleeve.*

: SUCH BEAUTIFUL LOLIS! And look, you can see their succubus wings and tails! I accept this gift!

Alright, but that means you have to give me something of greater value!

: This is beginning to sound like some type of trading game from a video game.

: Shush, there's no reason to give out hints.

: What does it matter. It's just the vague concept that Topaz is referencing and not any precise one.

*Benio, who has been thinking about a proper reward (though distracted by continuously looking at the photograph and getting a gleeful smile) finally comes to a decision.*

: Come upstairs, Topaz.

*She grabs both his and Kobeni's hands and leads them upstairs.*

: You too, Kobeni.

: But why me too?

: Because you're a part of this reward!

I'm beginning to think this reward might be physical...

: Certainly!

*They head upstairs and into Kobeni's room where they lock the door.*

: This sounds suspicious, I should follow them!

*She goes up to listen to the door, soon followed by Kimiko.*

: This sounds sexy, I'll listen too!

: Sheesh. I doubt it's anything that interesting...

*They press their ears against the shut door, eavesdropping.*

What a lovely chest, Kobeni!

: Thanks, I got it from my mother.

: Here, I'll help you take your top off too.

: I don't need help-Errrgghh... Well, I guess I could use it. The top is surprisingly tight.

Just be careful that you don't bend over too far. Your drawers will fall down!

*Kimiko has a huge grin on her face, while Rika is glaring at her friend.*

: Stop being so excited, pervert!

*We still are unable to see inside though, but their conversation continues.*

: Hey, careful with those!

Of course, I'm just honored I'm able to see such hooters.

: I know, and just look at the boobies too!

Those are quite large as well! May I touch them?

: I suppose, but try to be delicate.

Don't worry, I know how fragile they can be...

*Suddenly the door bursts open, with Kimiko and Rika falling inside. There they see Topaz, Kobeni, and Benio with a chest between them. Inside are all sorts of birds made from various materials, including glass, porcelain, and tin. Luckily none of them are broken from the two falling into the room.*

Rika, Kimiko! You're being very rude to Benio and the others!

: But we thought you were... er...

: She thought you were doing something that Oniisama would be mad at you for. I at least hope that this terrible joke doesn't make him mad either.

What do you mean-OH! Well, I suppose it's a shame there's no birds named the "Tushie" or the "Newfoundland Derrière Bird" or something similar. That would have been better with Kobeni's childbearing hips

: HEY! I'm sensitive about my butt!

Does that mean that your butt is sensitive too?

: N-no!

I disbelieve that!

*Topaz flips up Kobeni's skirt and slides behind her. He then bounces her right buttcheek, exposed in the skimpy underwear Benio made her wear, and makes the left one jiggle as well.*

: AHH~

*Benio pushes Topaz away from Kobeni's tushie.*

: HEY! Get your grubby male hands off my precious Kobeni's amazing rump!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

: I understand that, but that's no reason to do something so perverse!

But it was so springy...

*Rika sighs.*

: Perverts, the whole lot of you...

*Mashiro pops out from behind them.*

: See, I knew it wasn't anything bad. Benio was just showing off Kobeni's bird collection. Not as cool as my UMAs but still...

: Exactly. Now, how about you take one of these?

Hmmm....

: What, are you looking to see which "Chickadee" is bigger or something?

Well, I don't want to take Kobeni's expensive-looking birds. So I'll take THIS unique one.

*Topaz holds up a wind-up bird.*

: Oh, that junky one.

: Just because I have multiple of that nightingale doesn't mean that it's "junk". I take care of all my collection, so if you wind that it won't make a noise.

: Wait, doesn't that mean that it doesn't work?

: I mean the winding is silent. Once wound up it sings a lovely song.

Seems like a good trade then.

: Perfect then. Now get lost. Even if that cute loli can stay.

: As much as I appreciate the kind words I feel Topaz will need my assistance.

: Sad to hear, but good luck with all the other girls!

: Right, and thanks for the blog too!

: I didn't get a blog but I imagine I might not score well anyway so I don't mind.

: Don't worry, Mashiro. I'll blog you every night from now on!

*Benio hugs Mashiro.*

: This isn't what I wanted! Nooooo!

*Topaz slips the bird into his pants and waves goodbye to the girls. They then return home, but as they approach it Kimiko remembers something.*

: Wait, didn't the fortune teller say something else?

What fortune teller?

: The one who told us to wait for you. And yeah, she did. Something about "wraith" following shortly. I sure hope that doesn't mean Sohara!

*They enter the house.*

I doubt it. I haven't finished the manga and might not as it sounds boring. But I do wonder who will show up then.

*As they turn the lights on, they are greeted by a mysterious woman sitting in the living room.*
