Example #602: Mistress of the Card Shop
Anime Relations:
Cardfight!! Vanguard, Cardfight!! Vanguard: Asia Circuit-hen, Cardfight!! Vanguard Movie: Neon Messiah
This is the six-hundred-and-second week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
*Topaz, as well as his assistants and a few other girls, are still in the Colosseum. Riri is on stage with one of the villains, who was revealed to be Misaki Tokura last week.*
: Welcome back, Everyone! I'm glad to see your wonderful faces gathered here again, and it looks like it'll be the next week of the battles between Topaz and the villains this year!
*The crowd cheers, or at least what little is there. Though there does seem to be more people watching than last week.*
: That's it, everyone! I'm glad to see so many new faces here, as it means that the impromptu battles are becoming more popular!
I can only hope so. I need all the people I can to read my blog. Then again, I have my devoted fanbase of friends and that's most important.
: (You've barely got any friends... B-but that's part of your charm too). You're just happy that your friends are reading this garbage.
: That's because they don't have anything better to do on Thursdays.
: And that's the motto!
: Anyway... It seems that Ririchiyo will be the next one to battle, and that Misaki is her target.
: That seems to be what she wishes. But I do not think that this battlefield is suitable.
: Eh? W-wait, I know that I confronted you, but I didn't think that I'd be facing you!
Himeko: You should have known that. Besides, all of you will have to face an opponent on my team eventually. Unless you happen to win the next two games, but what are the chances of that?
: Considering that there's only four weeks this month I'd say pretty good.
Hey now, no meta jokes.
: I'd be fine with that. That means that I wouldn't have to fight, but it sucks being out here under the sun like this for no reason.
At least it isn't a literal inferno here like it is in some places around the world.
: Enough about this small talk about the weather. I wish for the battle to begin!
: It looks like Aldra is being a little impatient about the time we take. Doesn't she know that building up anticipation takes time?
: If you keep stalling like that perhaps I'll stuff my fist right up your ASSticipation!
*Aldra even show off her fist using the hologram projection, intimidating Koto.*
: That's one “participation” award I wouldn't want.
: R-right. So how about we get Topaz to introduce the girl?
: I have a name you know. Besides, Aldra still needs to change the battlefield to the one that I specified.
: Ah yes. I suppose that there is that.
*She presses a button and the arena under Misaki and Riri's feet starts to open up. It changes to a table and chairs, with mats available for the fields of battle.*
: WHOA! At least warn us that the floor is going to change! I almost fell out!
: Don't give up like that, Riri. Topaz's blog is at sake!
: Like I care-
: But if you lose Topaz will be REAL disappointed...
*Ririchiyo blushes and looks away from Koto.*
: (Darn, hit me where it hurts why don't you?) F-fine then. I'll do my best.
Wow, I'm still amazed that Aldra had all of these card battlefields ready!
:: It's almost like they knew that this would happen...
Himeko: It's all because of my influence-OOF!
*Aldra pushes the over-inflated Himeko out of the frame.*
: Do not think that she had anything to do with this. It is merely an option that the Colosseum used in the downtime to earn extra money.
I wondered what happened with it in the off-season.
: Such a shame that we never noticed that, but I suppose that Misaki here is the first one that you've done from an actual card game.
: I am surprised by that, but I am still honored. But that said, aren't you forgetting something?
Certainly. I blame getting distracted too much, but as she's encouraging me to start the blog I consider that permission to talk about this week's girl. Now, I call, and by that I mean I say that...
: Call?
Would you have rather I said “Ride?”
: Heh, I'm sure that Topaz would like to ride her for sure.
: Do you mean Ririchiyo or Misaki?
: Yes.
*Both girls blush from this.*
: Now now, this isn't the time for that sort of thing. Can't you see that you're embarrassing the two?
: But that's the fun part!
We can have plenty of fun without teasing them, even if it is entertaining.
: That is correct. And what better way to be entertained than a battle!
*Himeko gets up off the ground, adjusting her inflatable”totally natural” breasts.*
Himeko: That's right. Oracle Genesis, wipe the floor with her!
: I don't think that you'll have much of a chance with THIS!
*Misaki holds out her deck of Vanguard cards.*
: It looks like the duel is about to start!
AmiGondola: E-eh? Duel?
Tamer: She doesn't mean like what you do.
AmiGondola: M-my mistake then. The cards must have confused me. Even if they look completely different.
: Heh, do you think that you can intimidate me with your deck? Take a look at MINE!
*Ririchiyo shows off a deck of Magic cards she kept in a pocket.*
: Er, that's the wrong game...
: Wait, you mean that there's card games OTHER than this? Why haven't we played them before, Topaz?
Because I'm a hack and a terrible planner.
: Hey, mocking you is what I enjoy doing. Don't take that away from me, nipah~
Fair. I blame it more on me getting into it, and not really getting into other games as much. Well, at least since my blog has been going on.
: B-but I can't play without a deck, Topaz! Do something!
: It looks like this battle will have to be postponed a little.
: No. I shall have it start soon.
: B-but there's no way! I can't battle her like this!
: I shall give you about thirty minutes...
*Aldra points to a clock.*
: Get a deck created in that time or forfeit. And Riri, to ensure that you don't run off you must stay on the arena.
: B-but how am I going to get a deck then?
Kimiko, Rika. Go help her out!
: What will you be doing then? You can't just stay here being lazy...
I won't. I'll start my blog to stall for time.
: Hear that everyone? It seems that Topaz is going to use his blog to entertain us before the match begins. Now, let's begin!
*Rika and Kimiko run off to search for a deck while Misaki is eyeing up Ririchiyo. Topaz begins the blog on the card game beauty.*
==Head==
===Hair===
Misaki starts off really good here. She has long hair, which goes past her shoulder blades and relaxes nicely against her back in a straight, well-maintained but still fluffy appearance. Her sides even go past her shoulders, framing her face and neck fairly well. Sadly it seems that she gets a haircut in the beginning of the third season, which is absolutely terrible. Not just because she cuts it too short, as her hair barely reaches her shoulders or because her sides are trimmed to match, but because it's some dumb “exposition” type of haircut which is supposed to “start afresh” or something idiotic like that. There needs to be a ban on girls cutting their hair to prove their resolve or after a break up or something. Though I will say that this is the second franchise I watched but avoided just before haircutting, darn you Monogatari and the haircut fetishist Nisio Isin... Anyway, back to Misaki. It does help that after the time skip, where she's an adult, she has longer hair. Unfortunately it's kept in a “dead mother” style with a ponytail over her shoulder. Not that I dislike it, it's cute and has a lot of mature charm, but I just hope nothing bad happens to her in that season xD. Speaking of ponytails she has one in one ED, though the ribbon holding her hair in comes loose when she runs. She also has various hats or decorations, including a cowboy hat. She also has crossed bangs, which come down past her eyes and is a cute touch. And of course we can't forget about Misaki's hair color. It's a nice light shade of purple, or maybe grey as it's hard for me to tell. Overall Misaki starts with really nice hair, but that darn haircut ruins any chance of getting an A even if I do like how it's recovered like with Sakura or Akari for example. I really do like her hair, so it's really the haircut ending up so short that ruins it for me.
Grade: B-
===Eyes===
Misaki has pretty good eyes as well. They're a nice tsurime shape, which gives a lot of power to her death glare though also makes it look really sexy too. The accenting eyelashes look really nice too, even if they're a little hard to see due to her hair. But they are nice in the corners which are also quite accented. On one hand Misaki does have blue or green but it is also a nice dark shade and looks nice with her kuudere appearance. She has round pupils and a second black ring in them, giving her a nice appearance though being fair most Cardfight characters have that effect due to the art style. Sadly as far as I remember Misaki doesn't wear glasses, which is really a shame as she'd look great in them. Also I'm glad that in the later seasons she doesn't become a “Reverse” zombie, or whatever that's called, as the targets have red marks under their eyes that look like they're crying blood. Thankfully that doesn't affect Misaki, and overall she does fine here thanks to the very nice tsurime shape that I enjoy.
Grade: B
===Face===
This is another place where Misaki does alright but not perfect. She's from a card battling anime, and while her face is pretty good it doesn't stand out too much. She has a noticeable nose but fortunately most of the time it's only two lines so it isn't as bad as it could be. Misaki is a kuudere/snarker-type which means that she doesn't show all that much expression, even if later seasons have her start to look less closed off to show how being friends with the main characters have changed her. In the later season she shows off her lips a little more, but I suppose that's due to that being the standard for adult women in anime it seems. Still, overall Misaki does pretty well here, with a nice kuudere personality making her cute even if her face could appear a little softer or cuter.
Grade: B
So what do you think of the blog so far, Misaki?
: Seemed a little short. I was expecting it to be longer.
This is only the first sections. Weren't you paying attention when I did Rio?
: Honestly, no.
: I don't know if I should feel bad about that...
Tamer: … Perhaps.
AmiGondola: You should support your friends more, Oracle Genesis! It's how heroes win!
: Wait a second. You mean that I'm not the hero in this?
You're a hero to me! But I imagine that they think that are just misguided villains.
Himeko: I am in no way misguided!
: Why, do those over-inflated blimps have their own navigation system?
Himeko: Leave my boobs out of this!
: It's hard when they're constantly being shoved in everyone's face. What, are you from a dumb ecchi series or something?
Himeko: I-I won't tell...
: Fine then. Keep your identity to yourself, cow. As for you...
*Aldra uses the hologram to intimidate Ririchiyo.*
: Your time is almost up, little one!
: A-ALREADY?! But the assistants aren't here yet, and Topaz only got through one section! There's no way that took so long!
Eh? I'm sorry, I was playing games...
: TOPAZ! You and your Robotrek!
At least I've finally beaten it! But you're right. The girls should have returned by now.
*Rika and Kimiko come back, panting.*
Where were you two?
: Trying to look through your room... pant... for your cards. It's a complete mess there!
I live comfortably, but at least it's not stacked up with garbage.
: How long are you going to milk that silly arc, Topaz?
As often as I can. But did you get the decks?
: I sure did! And it's full of paladin like guys too!
*Kimiko holds up a deck with brown backs, though not of the Magic variety. AmiGondola looks certainly excited.*
AmiGondola: Gasp! I recognize that! It's from... er, my universe!
: That is the incorrect game, Kimiko. And just to let you know, I think you did quite fine with my areas. At least it's better than a single sentence or something.
I've grown a lot since the days that I first saw you. At least as far as the sections go, as my height certainly didn't change!
: You're a fully grown adult, Topaz. Even if you aren't mentally.
: Your time is almost up, and your only cards are for the wrong game. You had better do something, and FAST!
: You can count on me, ni~pah!
*Rika reaches into a plastic bag and pulls out a box of Cardfight cards.*
: I knew that Topaz didn't own any, so I went shopping and got an intro pack. It doesn't seem to be too popular, so I was able to get it for cheap!
Thank goodness, I don't need any more expenses!
: It looks like Rika is back in the nick of time, but will this prepackaged deck have enough things to compete with Misaki's expertly-made deck?
: Hmmm, seems like an interesting battle....
*She smirks as Rika moves to the edge of the battlefield, handing Riri the package. Riri gets to the table and sits down opposite Misaki, panting as she barely made it in time.*
: You just made it, Riri! The timer is counting down, so hurry and get prepared!
: Don't rush me! I-I'm going as fast as I-CRAB CAKES!
*Riri tears open the package, and cards go flying everywhere. Several even land face-up, which Misaki notices. The timer goes past the half-hour mark as the youkai assistant collects all the cards, putting them back into place and puts the deck where it belongs on the mat. Fortunately she didn't lose any cards in the wind or off the table, thank goodness.*
: Phew. Looks like I made it...
*Back in the VIP room Himeko is making a big deal.*
Himeko: Look, Aldra! She didn't come back in time! She obviously forfeits!
: Ririchiyo did the best that she could, given the conditions. Besides, I said “ABOUT” thirty minutes. What is a half-minute or two going to make the difference?
*She sits down, prepared to watch the battle.*
: Alright everyone! It's time for the battle to finally begin! Draw your cards, and let's start!
: &
: Stand Up VANGUARD!
*The two start their battle by placing a face down card in the middle.*
: I sure hope that my announcing will be good enough. I have no idea what's going on here.
Neither do I! It's been far too long since I've seen this show, even if it's still ongoing. I guess it became too magical and crazy for me.
: W-WAIT! You mean to say that you don't know the rules of the game or anything like that?
: If you don't know, I doubt Ririchiyo would... I hope that she does alright.
: Now, as Misaki came prepared we'll have her go first.
*The two sides both nod in understanding.*
: I call Lozenge Magus!
Nice! I can imagine you wearing that costume!
: I'm going to forget you said that. Otherwise I'd kick you in the face.
Oh mistress! Please kick me without boots!
*Misaki is obviously flustered, looking away.*
: I-I have not time for such displays of gross affection.
: Besides, I thought that I was the only one able to do that-W-wait (Darn it, I said that out loud! Why does my brain leak sometimes...)
: Don't forget to flip your card, Riri!
: R-right, I've got to concentrate on the game here! Come forth, Barcgal!
Ugh. I don't want to imagine you like that, Riri. You're like a dog with a you face.
: I didn't play it so that you can make dumb fantasies, Topaz! This battle is serious!
: That's right! And now that we've started it's time for a word from our sponsors!
: W-WAIT WHAT?
: We just began! What, do we have to tell our life stories while dueling or something?
AmiGondola: Ah yes. The best way to stretch out a battle, and moreso if it's an important duel as well!
Tamer: Ugh. Battles don't need to be stretched out. They are fine as they are.
: Well, I'm sure that you want to know what Topaz thinks of you, don't you Misaki?
*The card playing beauty flicks her hair in a beautiful way.*
: I suppose so. I can only imagine that he is done with all the perversion as well...
If only you were paying more attention during Rio's blog...
*Topaz continues the blog. However, we cut up in the stands, where two familiar faces are seated.*
: What's the matter, Zettai? Are you not into this battle or blog?
Zettai: Well, it's not that I know the girl or show. I have no idea how the game is played, and Topaz needs to pick better girls. At least she's prettier than Rio, but that should be obvious.
: You seemed to enjoy the blog last time though...
Zettai: That's only because Menace came by and sat on my face through the whole thing! Her fat brown ass is unmatched, and it's a shame that she had to leave to pick up concessions...
: Perhaps you'll get another visitor soon...
Zettai: What are the chances of that?
*Suddenly Zettai's field of vision is covered but a slimy but sexy ass right in front of him. Her cheeks jiggle in a beautiful manner, looking fat and beautiful.*
: I wouldn't say that they're zero. After all, I can tell you're looking for some type of fun~
Zettai: I-I would really appreciate it indeed!
: Well then, you're in luck. This battle is boring even though it's barely started, so how about I take a seat right here. I'm sure that teasing you will be FAR more fun than some silly pieces of cardboard.
: Never underestimate the power of cardboard.
Zettai: True. People have fought wars over cards and-MMPPHH!
*Zettai is silenced by Melona sitting her huge ass against him. He's very smothered, and she shakes her huge ass to tease him further.*
: Ah hah hah, what do you think off my huge ass here, Zettai? Doesn't it feel so incredibly soft and sexy?
Zettai: MMPPH! So big and heavy indeed! Though I will have to say that Menace's fat brown ass felt even better.
: Ara, did I hear that right? You prefer that queen over my exquisite ass?
: He certainly did! It sounds like he needs some sort of punishment.
Zettai: MMPPH! B-but I can barely breathe! What could you do to “punish” me more, hint hint...
: Such a perverse request, but when you beg so cutely I can't refuse. Here it comes!
*Melona then lets out a huge sexy fart, even lifting herself off Zettai's body with her force.*
Zettai: MMPHH! This does smell terrible but so erotic! Though... Menace also did this, with her fat MenASS!
: I'm starting to become a little angry with your perverse thoughts, Zettai. But let me tell you, did Menace manage to do THIS!
*Melona's slime ass grows to a huge size, breaking Zettai's chair and covering his whole body. He's on the ground now, smothered by massive assflab.*
Zettai: MMPPHH!
: Oh ho ho, now I'm certain that you prefer my ass! You're so amazed that you can't speak, can you?
: It may be that he's smothered so much he can't make any other noises.
: Then I had better keep ripping my unladylike flatulence. I'm sure that he enjoys it, but I hope that it's not bothering you or the other viewers.
: As long as Zettai can absorb your gas I do not mind.
: Wonderful then. Let's keep teasing my little toy then~
*Melona continues to fart, covering Zettai with her gases and keeping him content as Topaz continues with the blog.*
==Body==
===Build===
Misaki has a pretty alright body, though it's not shown off all that much. It's not a fanservice series, after all. That said, it seems like she is purposely trying to annoy fans of asses. She wears a long skirt in the first season, and whenever she's wearing a swimsuit she's covering her ass with a skirt or pareo or something else dumb. She really needs to show off her ass more, like how Kourin did in the Mainichi Climax ED (though she was wearing spats, so don't expect nudity). It's a shame because I saw this nice fanart and thought it was official, with Misaki in the bathroom with steam and showing off her bare ass but sadly it doesn't seem to be canon so boo. Granted her waist is nice, including her navels, and she shows off her shoulders a fair bit but those aren't as sexy as her ass would be. Misaki is also said to be quite tall, though there are no measurements for this series (not that I would expect any, being fair). Overall while not bad I'd like if she would have shown off her ass more, or at least cause an iconic enough moment that I would remember after all these years.
Grade: B-
===Chest===
Misaki has a little bit of trouble here. She's not extremely mamocentric or busty, but she does have a “shounen body” which means that she has a fairly large chest or at least a medium-sized one. It's not as noticeable most of the time, but once Misaki puts on a swimsuit or something similar she seems to gain a cup size. Now, this might just be due to her jackets making her seem smaller than she is, as in the other outfits (including the ones where she's an adult) she looks about the same, but that's way too much detail to put into a woman's chest. Fortunately most of the time Misaki doesn't cause too much of an issue, and I don't think that her chest is ever brought up in the series proper either from any character (that I remember). So while Misaki has some issues she does do alright here, I guess, as it's hard to tell. But boo showing off her chest while her ass is so hidden!
Grade: B-
===Clothes==
I've brought up most of the issues with Misaki's more-problematic outfits, but I'll also explain her other outfits as well. Starting with what she tends to wear, at least in the first season, is her modified school uniform. It consists of a buttoned shirt, a black blazer with red highlights, and a long skirt with it torn at the top to show off her legs. Because her collar is open slightly she doesn't tie her ribbon. While working she wears a red apron over this outfit. In the second season she wears a pink sleeveless turtleneck that shows some of her middrift, a short skirt, and a blue jacket. She also wears a key on a necklace, which goes to a deck her parents left her way back. Some other outfits include a black bikini top with shorts and a cowboy hat, a blue-lined white bikini with pareo, and cosplay as various cards. In G, where she's an adult, Misaki wears an orange dress with a short white vest. She also wears a turtleneck with white sleeves and poofy pants. Overall Misaki's normal outfits aren't that terrible, and show off her body somewhat well but all that ass hate really drags her down. Such a shame I didn't pay more attention to that way back in the day though...
Grade: B-
: Such perversion...
: You know, you'd know if you paid attention to my blog...
: Nipah, no one cares about you, you cow!
: Sigh... How unfortunate for me...
It's not too perversion. Fortunately it's not like you're TOO forced as far as fanservice goes. I blame Shounen being mamocentric, and there needs to be more assy series.
: That's certainly right, but it seems that even after being flustered Misaki will still go ahead with her moves!
: Eh? We're still fighting? I thought that was put to the side until after Topaz's blog...
: You wish. Now prepare as I call... Weather Girl, Milk as my vanguard!
E-eh?! Evolution?
Tamer: Reminds me of something-oh, you said EVOlution. Sorry, reminded me of something... else..
Sounds suspicious...
: So is that all?
: Not quite, thanks to the ability of my Magus I can put it in my rear guard.
: Ehehehe... It's like she's pulling cards out of-
: NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY!
: That's right! We shouldn't pick on Misaki for putting a card on her bench!
Eh, close enough.
: So that will be my turn, as I cannot attack.
: That means that it's my turn... I draw, and ride Wingal on my vanguard! And with that I can put Barcgal back on my rear guard like you did!
More dogs? Ugh... I want you to wear sexy costumes!
: This isn't what you're supposed to imagine about, Topaz!
Fine Fine...
: In addition, I call Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine to the side! Now, Flogal! Attack Milk!
: KYAH!
*Riri shows the top card of her deck.*
: Hmmm, no additional affects... (darn it, why can't I draw a level 2? I need one for the level 3s in my hand...).
: Now, to check for an affect for me...
*Misaki doesn't show anything interesting either, and places the card in her damage spot.*
: It seems that Riri is so aggressive and took first blood!
: And I'm not done yet! Flogal, power up Elaine and attack Misaki's vanguard!
*Riri doesn't reveal a card as this isn't her vanguard attacking, but Misaki still checks for damage.*
: Nothing.
*She places it in her damage pile.*
: It appears that Riri is doing so well for it being her first battle! She's winning two to nothing, and she only needs six to win!
Get all your reverse prize cards and win, Riri!
: Do not think that you can beat me that easily. It is now my turn... Now, I ride [url=https://cardfight.fandom.com/wiki/Maiden_of_Libra]Maiden of Libra[url]
: Oh no, a level 2...
: That's right. And I also play Oracle Guardian Gemini!
Not the creepy angels!
: I suppose. But they are in my rear guard behind my vanguard. Now, Vanguard... ATTACK ELAINE!
: E-eh?!
*Misaki's attack destroys Riri's creature.*
: What are you doing? You can't win by not doing damage like that!
: Sometimes the illogical play is the best.
: You don't have to go easy on me.. Let's see...
*Riri looks at her hand.*
: (Curses... Still no level twos. But I have the ability to use Llew... WAIT!)
*She looks at her empty damage meter.*
: (I don't have the damage to use! C-could this have been Misaki's plan...?)
: Come on, Ririchiyo. Take your turn.
*Misaki smirks as she fans herself with her cards. Meanwhile Riri looks like she's being pressed.*
: Huh. It seems like Riri is on the defensive, even if she's winning right now...
: (Looks like I'll have to keep pressure on her...) I call Little Sage Marron!
That's something that you should have placed on your Vanguard, Riri!
: QUIET YOU!
Mumble cute meganekko mumble...
: Anyway, I'll use Barcgal to boost Wingal's power and attack!
: Huh? What's the matter, Riri. Don't you have better cards to play?
: Grrr, I'll show you! ATTACK!
*Riri shows off her trigger, which is nothing. Fortunately Misaki's damage card was nothing either.*
: It's now 3 to zero! Ririchiyo is halfway there!
: Oh? But the only damage that matters is the last one...
: I'll get you closer to that number than you expect! Marron, be boosted by Flogal and-
: I block with Dream Eater's shield!
*Misaki reveals the card, using it's shield power to weaken Riri's monster low enough that it wouldn't do damage.*
: What a play! Misaki narrowly avoided that damage, but how will she strike back now?
: Quite fiercely, if I say so. But rather than eliminate you quickly, how about we listen back at Topaz?
What about me-OH! The blog! I forgot about that!
: Somehow I'm not surprised...
Anyway, as Misaki apparently needs time to think let's finish off her blog!
==Mind==
===Personality===
This is one of the best things about Misaki, which also encouraged me to want to talk about her even though I've missed so many seasons of her show. I blame it starting to lose track of being card game based and working too much with magical powers and the like, but at least Misaki is a constant on the show through all the seasons. Anyway, she's a clerk who works at the card shop her uncle Shin owns. He's also her guardian as her parents died in a terrible car accident when she was six. Ever since she gained an indelible/photographic memory, meaning that she'll remember everything that happens. Sadly this means that every time before the start of the season when she'd play the game she got reminded of her parent's death and went into shock. She's not completely over it, as it hit her in the Asian Circuit and she nearly left the team as a result. Fortunately Misaki tells herself that her parents would be happy to see her playing and enjoying the game. In addition, her memorization talents really help because Misaki plays a deck style that allows her to manipulate the cards in her deck. She then goes into Genesis, another group of cards, to show off that mechanic/sell more of that sort of card. But her sad past isn't the only reason I appreciate Misaki. As mentioned before she's a great kuudere, with a calm and quiet personality. She is also quite a bit of a snarker, with silly comments to the other characters. Sadly this happens a little less as she starts hanging out with the lead, as she starts to open up slowly but I like her cool kuudere side more. She's also known as a “banchou” or “boss lady” in school due to her height, appearance, and personality. She's not actually evil or mean or anything, just very aloof. If anything she's like an older sister to Aichi and his younger sister Emi. Misaki also has an odd type of skill level; while she did have some difficulty learning about Limit Breaks and took a few losses as a result she got hit pretty badly in the fourth season where she didn't win a single game (while in the third season she won every one, from what I've heard). Misaki is voiced by Izumi Kitta, who gives her a very nice kuudere voice but also does the emotional parts well. It's a nice tone as well with a sexy touch, and some other characters she's done (though ones that are very different from Misaki) include Cordelia the flowery yuri detective from Milky Holmes or Tomoko from WataMote (the former being another Bushiroad production). Overall I really like Misaki and she's an amazing character, what with her sad past explaining her kuudere personality, growing from being friends with the lead, and her wonderful voice all combine to make for a great girl. It's a shame that she didn't do better in other areas though.
Grade: A
===Libido==
There isn't too much that I can remember, sadly. It's been a while since I saw the series, after all. There's the possible shipping with Aichi, who I would enjoy as he's a middle school boy that's shorter than her and very passive. Maybe I'm just imagining that, but as said she sometimes acts like an older sister to him. There's also the yuri rivalry with Asaka in Asia Circuit, though I don't know how long the villainess hangs around in the later seasons. There's also some moments that might suggest that she's close to Shin, but I blame that to be because he's the one that raised her after her parent's death. She's also his niece, which being fair is the type of relationship I'm not fond of (especially since he raised her). Apparently in the manga Misaki kicked people in the face for trying to imagine her in a skimpy card's outfit as well, though I don't know the manga too well so that's just second-hand. Overall she does fairly alright, but I wish that more people paired her with Aichi, both because this is a shounen so yaoi is a major problem and because that's my favorite type of pairing.
Grade: B-
===Age===
Misaki does quite well here. She starts off in the original series as a first high school student and starting in the third season went up a grade. In the fifth through eighth seasons she seems to be in her 20's, which is quite sexy. However, in the latest version she seems to have gone back to her original age (as it's a reboot it seems). There's also numerous flashbacks, even if in the newer “Shinemon” season Misaki is in a coma in her childhood. Her birthday is November 1st which is alright. Overall I'd say that she does pretty well, including being older than Aichi and I especially enjoy her older age in the later seasons.

Final Grade: B
And that's the blog for this week. What do you think about it?
: I was thinking I'd score a little better, but perhaps the years that you haven't been following the series caused problems.
More like your haircut and other small issues caused the problems. But you still did pretty good, even if I would have liked to appreciate you further.
: No matter. More reason to defeat your little assistant.
: That's one good taunt! What could Misaki be planning?
: It's my trademark card-CEO Amaterasu!
: N-no... Not a level three!
: That's right! But I'm not stopping there... I soulcharge and can look at the top card of my deck...
*She does so, placing it on the bottom.*
: I-is that all?
: You wish. I call Oracle Guardian, Wiseman and Silent Tom.
: It looks like Misaki has a number of high attack monsters out now! What can Riri do to stop this mad assault?
: With the booming echos from the stands I can tell that Oniisama is enjoying an “assault” of his own.
: I was wondering what that crash and stench was from. But no matter, time to continue! I soulcharge my Amaterasu...
*She looks at the top card of her deck.*
: Nothing... Go to the bottom. But don't think that my turn is over just yet! Wiseman attack!
*Riri reveals a Level 2 card for damage.*
: N-no! I needed those to do anything!
*It goes straight to the damage pile.*
: And don't think that I've forgotten about my vanguard either. CEO Amaterasu, ATTACK!
*Misaki reveals her first card, which is nothing.*
: Nothing, but with twin drive...
*The second card Misaki reveals is important.*
: Oracle Guardian Nike! Critical trigger! That means that I can not only deal double damage,but for the rest of the turn Silent Tom has +5000 attack!
: What luck! Wait, which side am I cheering for? Oh well, it doesn't matter.
*Riri takes 2 damage, one of which is a level 2.*
: N-no! Darn you getting land locked!
Even in this game cards are important! Darn you rules that cause you to occasionally get screwed!
: It is all part of the game. Now, Silent Tom! Attack!
*Riri takes another damage, with nothing triggering.*
: What a battle! In just one turn Misaki not only closed up the gap but is now in the lead!
: S-she just got lucky with that turn! I'll show you what my luck is like...
*Ririchiyo draws another card, but it's as useless as the others.*
: (Grr... if only I had a level 2... Wait, she's done damage to me now... I-I can...) Don't think that I don't have a strategy either! I use Barcgal to superior call Future Knight, Llew! And with his ability I can put him, Bargal, and Flogal into my soul to superior call... Blaster Blade!
Look! It's the icon of the franchise!
AmiGondola: Because it gains 500 attack for every dragon your opponent has on the field or in their graveyard?
: Wrong game!
: That's right. That's the one with the Dark Magician and such.
AmiGondola: A-ah yes, how could I make that mistake...
: Anyway, now that I have a Level 2 I'll use his ability! By paying two I can destroy Silent Tom!
*Riri pays the cost with the damage she has taken, flipping those cards face down. Misaki sends her card to the discard pile.*
: And that's not all! I call Knight of Rose, Morgana and place Bringer of Good Luck, Epona behind my Vanguard in the rear guard!
*She plays them properly.*
Wow, I wonder if Link knows you borrowed his horse...
: There's more to myths than just video games, you know...
: Now... Blaster Blade! Be boosted by Epona and attack!
*Riri reveals no triggers, and Misaki did not either.*
: Looks like Riri won't be taking this laying down! The score is tied now, and her turn isn't over either!
: That's right. I have to keep going... Morgana, attack-
: I guard with Nike!
*Riri's attack is useless with that guard.*
: It looks like she blocked that just in time. But just a little more damage, Riri! You're getting closer to victory!
: I'm afraid that your boasts are nothing but useless words. After all, it is MY turn... I soulcharge with Amaterasu once again...
*She looks at the top card of her deck, placing it on the bottom of her deck.*
: Now, let's put you out of your misery... I call another Oracle Wiseman, and behind him I place Lucky Bird! Now, with Lucky Bird I boost Oracle Wiseman and attack!
: I-I can't let this through! I block with a Llew in my hand!
: A noble effort, but now you have nothing to guard yourself from this. Amaterasu, ATTACK! TWIN DRIVE!
*Misaki reveals the top two cards of her deck, the last one being a critical trigger.*
: Psychic Bird. That's six damage, and my victory...
: Wow, with that victory Misaki really gave Ririchiyo the bird!
: It looks like the battle has come to a close, and Misaki is the victor!
: N-no... I tried so hard but I was screwed by the deck!
: I suppose that shows the might between us. Besides... When you dropped your cards... and shuffled your deck...
: Y-you can't be real. Did you remember where each card was? E-even my level 2s...
: Eh heh, I don't use this power much, but it certainly came in handy...
: YOU!
*Riri attempts to flip the table, but it's been firmly nailed to the ground. So she just ends up cutely exerting herself.*
: That makes me glad that I sprung for the good constructors that kept the table in place...
Himeko: Good job, Oracle Genesis! Now we only need to beat Topaz's team twice more.
: Sniff... I'm sorry that I failed you, Topaz. You must hate me now.
Don't worry, Riri. I'd never hate you for something like this! You weren't in your element, and she took advantage of that.
*He pats her head cutely.*
: Don't think that this is all. We have to talk about the next battle too, giving the viewers a taste of what's to come!
: That's a great plan. And as we're playing cards I'll use the ones that I borrowed from Topaz!
*Kimiko gets on the arena floor.*
: And I challenge YOU, AmiGondola!
AmiGondola: Me? Why me?
: Because you reacted the strongest when I revealed these. That means that you're from that universe, or something.
*She giggles as she approaches.*
AmiGondola: That's certainly right, I'm from that universe. For I am...
*AmiGondola throws off her cloak in an epic way, revealing her identity.*
*Topaz, as well as his assistants and a few other girls, are still in the Colosseum. Riri is on stage with one of the villains, who was revealed to be Misaki Tokura last week.*
: Welcome back, Everyone! I'm glad to see your wonderful faces gathered here again, and it looks like it'll be the next week of the battles between Topaz and the villains this year!*The crowd cheers, or at least what little is there. Though there does seem to be more people watching than last week.*
: That's it, everyone! I'm glad to see so many new faces here, as it means that the impromptu battles are becoming more popular!I can only hope so. I need all the people I can to read my blog. Then again, I have my devoted fanbase of friends and that's most important.
: (You've barely got any friends... B-but that's part of your charm too). You're just happy that your friends are reading this garbage.
: That's because they don't have anything better to do on Thursdays.
: Anyway... It seems that Ririchiyo will be the next one to battle, and that Misaki is her target.
: That seems to be what she wishes. But I do not think that this battlefield is suitable.
: Eh? W-wait, I know that I confronted you, but I didn't think that I'd be facing you!Himeko: You should have known that. Besides, all of you will have to face an opponent on my team eventually. Unless you happen to win the next two games, but what are the chances of that?
Hey now, no meta jokes.
: I'd be fine with that. That means that I wouldn't have to fight, but it sucks being out here under the sun like this for no reason.At least it isn't a literal inferno here like it is in some places around the world.
: Enough about this small talk about the weather. I wish for the battle to begin!
: It looks like Aldra is being a little impatient about the time we take. Doesn't she know that building up anticipation takes time?
: If you keep stalling like that perhaps I'll stuff my fist right up your ASSticipation!*Aldra even show off her fist using the hologram projection, intimidating Koto.*
: That's one “participation” award I wouldn't want.
: R-right. So how about we get Topaz to introduce the girl?
: I have a name you know. Besides, Aldra still needs to change the battlefield to the one that I specified.
: Ah yes. I suppose that there is that.*She presses a button and the arena under Misaki and Riri's feet starts to open up. It changes to a table and chairs, with mats available for the fields of battle.*
: WHOA! At least warn us that the floor is going to change! I almost fell out!
: Don't give up like that, Riri. Topaz's blog is at sake!
: Like I care-
: But if you lose Topaz will be REAL disappointed...*Ririchiyo blushes and looks away from Koto.*
: (Darn, hit me where it hurts why don't you?) F-fine then. I'll do my best.Wow, I'm still amazed that Aldra had all of these card battlefields ready!
:: It's almost like they knew that this would happen...Himeko: It's all because of my influence-OOF!
*Aldra pushes the over-inflated Himeko out of the frame.*
: Do not think that she had anything to do with this. It is merely an option that the Colosseum used in the downtime to earn extra money.I wondered what happened with it in the off-season.
: Such a shame that we never noticed that, but I suppose that Misaki here is the first one that you've done from an actual card game.
: I am surprised by that, but I am still honored. But that said, aren't you forgetting something?Certainly. I blame getting distracted too much, but as she's encouraging me to start the blog I consider that permission to talk about this week's girl. Now, I call, and by that I mean I say that...
: Call?Would you have rather I said “Ride?”
: Heh, I'm sure that Topaz would like to ride her for sure.
: Yes.*Both girls blush from this.*
: But that's the fun part!We can have plenty of fun without teasing them, even if it is entertaining.
: That is correct. And what better way to be entertained than a battle!*Himeko gets up off the ground, adjusting her inflatable”totally natural” breasts.*
Himeko: That's right. Oracle Genesis, wipe the floor with her!
: I don't think that you'll have much of a chance with THIS!*Misaki holds out her deck of Vanguard cards.*
: It looks like the duel is about to start!AmiGondola: E-eh? Duel?
Tamer: She doesn't mean like what you do.
AmiGondola: M-my mistake then. The cards must have confused me. Even if they look completely different.
: Heh, do you think that you can intimidate me with your deck? Take a look at MINE!*Ririchiyo shows off a deck of Magic cards she kept in a pocket.*
: Er, that's the wrong game...
: Wait, you mean that there's card games OTHER than this? Why haven't we played them before, Topaz?Because I'm a hack and a terrible planner.
: Hey, mocking you is what I enjoy doing. Don't take that away from me, nipah~Fair. I blame it more on me getting into it, and not really getting into other games as much. Well, at least since my blog has been going on.
: B-but I can't play without a deck, Topaz! Do something!
: It looks like this battle will have to be postponed a little.
: No. I shall have it start soon.
: B-but there's no way! I can't battle her like this!
: I shall give you about thirty minutes...*Aldra points to a clock.*
: Get a deck created in that time or forfeit. And Riri, to ensure that you don't run off you must stay on the arena.
: B-but how am I going to get a deck then?Kimiko, Rika. Go help her out!
: What will you be doing then? You can't just stay here being lazy...I won't. I'll start my blog to stall for time.
: Hear that everyone? It seems that Topaz is going to use his blog to entertain us before the match begins. Now, let's begin!*Rika and Kimiko run off to search for a deck while Misaki is eyeing up Ririchiyo. Topaz begins the blog on the card game beauty.*
==Head==
===Hair===
Misaki starts off really good here. She has long hair, which goes past her shoulder blades and relaxes nicely against her back in a straight, well-maintained but still fluffy appearance. Her sides even go past her shoulders, framing her face and neck fairly well. Sadly it seems that she gets a haircut in the beginning of the third season, which is absolutely terrible. Not just because she cuts it too short, as her hair barely reaches her shoulders or because her sides are trimmed to match, but because it's some dumb “exposition” type of haircut which is supposed to “start afresh” or something idiotic like that. There needs to be a ban on girls cutting their hair to prove their resolve or after a break up or something. Though I will say that this is the second franchise I watched but avoided just before haircutting, darn you Monogatari and the haircut fetishist Nisio Isin... Anyway, back to Misaki. It does help that after the time skip, where she's an adult, she has longer hair. Unfortunately it's kept in a “dead mother” style with a ponytail over her shoulder. Not that I dislike it, it's cute and has a lot of mature charm, but I just hope nothing bad happens to her in that season xD. Speaking of ponytails she has one in one ED, though the ribbon holding her hair in comes loose when she runs. She also has various hats or decorations, including a cowboy hat. She also has crossed bangs, which come down past her eyes and is a cute touch. And of course we can't forget about Misaki's hair color. It's a nice light shade of purple, or maybe grey as it's hard for me to tell. Overall Misaki starts with really nice hair, but that darn haircut ruins any chance of getting an A even if I do like how it's recovered like with Sakura or Akari for example. I really do like her hair, so it's really the haircut ending up so short that ruins it for me.
Grade: B-
===Eyes===
Misaki has pretty good eyes as well. They're a nice tsurime shape, which gives a lot of power to her death glare though also makes it look really sexy too. The accenting eyelashes look really nice too, even if they're a little hard to see due to her hair. But they are nice in the corners which are also quite accented. On one hand Misaki does have blue or green but it is also a nice dark shade and looks nice with her kuudere appearance. She has round pupils and a second black ring in them, giving her a nice appearance though being fair most Cardfight characters have that effect due to the art style. Sadly as far as I remember Misaki doesn't wear glasses, which is really a shame as she'd look great in them. Also I'm glad that in the later seasons she doesn't become a “Reverse” zombie, or whatever that's called, as the targets have red marks under their eyes that look like they're crying blood. Thankfully that doesn't affect Misaki, and overall she does fine here thanks to the very nice tsurime shape that I enjoy.
Grade: B
===Face===
This is another place where Misaki does alright but not perfect. She's from a card battling anime, and while her face is pretty good it doesn't stand out too much. She has a noticeable nose but fortunately most of the time it's only two lines so it isn't as bad as it could be. Misaki is a kuudere/snarker-type which means that she doesn't show all that much expression, even if later seasons have her start to look less closed off to show how being friends with the main characters have changed her. In the later season she shows off her lips a little more, but I suppose that's due to that being the standard for adult women in anime it seems. Still, overall Misaki does pretty well here, with a nice kuudere personality making her cute even if her face could appear a little softer or cuter.
Grade: B
So what do you think of the blog so far, Misaki?
: Seemed a little short. I was expecting it to be longer.This is only the first sections. Weren't you paying attention when I did Rio?
: Honestly, no.Tamer: … Perhaps.
AmiGondola: You should support your friends more, Oracle Genesis! It's how heroes win!
: Wait a second. You mean that I'm not the hero in this?You're a hero to me! But I imagine that they think that are just misguided villains.
Himeko: I am in no way misguided!
: Why, do those over-inflated blimps have their own navigation system?Himeko: Leave my boobs out of this!
: It's hard when they're constantly being shoved in everyone's face. What, are you from a dumb ecchi series or something?Himeko: I-I won't tell...
: Fine then. Keep your identity to yourself, cow. As for you...*Aldra uses the hologram to intimidate Ririchiyo.*
: Your time is almost up, little one!
: A-ALREADY?! But the assistants aren't here yet, and Topaz only got through one section! There's no way that took so long!Eh? I'm sorry, I was playing games...
: TOPAZ! You and your Robotrek!At least I've finally beaten it! But you're right. The girls should have returned by now.
*Rika and Kimiko come back, panting.*
Where were you two?
I live comfortably, but at least it's not stacked up with garbage.
: How long are you going to milk that silly arc, Topaz?As often as I can. But did you get the decks?
*Kimiko holds up a deck with brown backs, though not of the Magic variety. AmiGondola looks certainly excited.*
AmiGondola: Gasp! I recognize that! It's from... er, my universe!
: That is the incorrect game, Kimiko. And just to let you know, I think you did quite fine with my areas. At least it's better than a single sentence or something.I've grown a lot since the days that I first saw you. At least as far as the sections go, as my height certainly didn't change!
: You're a fully grown adult, Topaz. Even if you aren't mentally.
: Your time is almost up, and your only cards are for the wrong game. You had better do something, and FAST!
: You can count on me, ni~pah!*Rika reaches into a plastic bag and pulls out a box of Cardfight cards.*
: I knew that Topaz didn't own any, so I went shopping and got an intro pack. It doesn't seem to be too popular, so I was able to get it for cheap!Thank goodness, I don't need any more expenses!
: It looks like Rika is back in the nick of time, but will this prepackaged deck have enough things to compete with Misaki's expertly-made deck?
: Hmmm, seems like an interesting battle....*She smirks as Rika moves to the edge of the battlefield, handing Riri the package. Riri gets to the table and sits down opposite Misaki, panting as she barely made it in time.*
: You just made it, Riri! The timer is counting down, so hurry and get prepared!
: Don't rush me! I-I'm going as fast as I-CRAB CAKES!*Riri tears open the package, and cards go flying everywhere. Several even land face-up, which Misaki notices. The timer goes past the half-hour mark as the youkai assistant collects all the cards, putting them back into place and puts the deck where it belongs on the mat. Fortunately she didn't lose any cards in the wind or off the table, thank goodness.*
: Phew. Looks like I made it...*Back in the VIP room Himeko is making a big deal.*
Himeko: Look, Aldra! She didn't come back in time! She obviously forfeits!
: Ririchiyo did the best that she could, given the conditions. Besides, I said “ABOUT” thirty minutes. What is a half-minute or two going to make the difference?*She sits down, prepared to watch the battle.*
: Alright everyone! It's time for the battle to finally begin! Draw your cards, and let's start!
: &
: Stand Up VANGUARD!*The two start their battle by placing a face down card in the middle.*
: I sure hope that my announcing will be good enough. I have no idea what's going on here.Neither do I! It's been far too long since I've seen this show, even if it's still ongoing. I guess it became too magical and crazy for me.
: W-WAIT! You mean to say that you don't know the rules of the game or anything like that?
: Now, as Misaki came prepared we'll have her go first.*The two sides both nod in understanding.*
: I call Lozenge Magus!Nice! I can imagine you wearing that costume!
: I'm going to forget you said that. Otherwise I'd kick you in the face.Oh mistress! Please kick me without boots!
*Misaki is obviously flustered, looking away.*
: I-I have not time for such displays of gross affection.
: Besides, I thought that I was the only one able to do that-W-wait (Darn it, I said that out loud! Why does my brain leak sometimes...)
: Don't forget to flip your card, Riri!
: R-right, I've got to concentrate on the game here! Come forth, Barcgal!Ugh. I don't want to imagine you like that, Riri. You're like a dog with a you face.
: I didn't play it so that you can make dumb fantasies, Topaz! This battle is serious!
: That's right! And now that we've started it's time for a word from our sponsors!
: W-WAIT WHAT?
: We just began! What, do we have to tell our life stories while dueling or something?AmiGondola: Ah yes. The best way to stretch out a battle, and moreso if it's an important duel as well!
Tamer: Ugh. Battles don't need to be stretched out. They are fine as they are.
: Well, I'm sure that you want to know what Topaz thinks of you, don't you Misaki?*The card playing beauty flicks her hair in a beautiful way.*
: I suppose so. I can only imagine that he is done with all the perversion as well...If only you were paying more attention during Rio's blog...
*Topaz continues the blog. However, we cut up in the stands, where two familiar faces are seated.*
: What's the matter, Zettai? Are you not into this battle or blog?Zettai: Well, it's not that I know the girl or show. I have no idea how the game is played, and Topaz needs to pick better girls. At least she's prettier than Rio, but that should be obvious.
: You seemed to enjoy the blog last time though...Zettai: That's only because Menace came by and sat on my face through the whole thing! Her fat brown ass is unmatched, and it's a shame that she had to leave to pick up concessions...
: Perhaps you'll get another visitor soon...Zettai: What are the chances of that?
*Suddenly Zettai's field of vision is covered but a slimy but sexy ass right in front of him. Her cheeks jiggle in a beautiful manner, looking fat and beautiful.*
: I wouldn't say that they're zero. After all, I can tell you're looking for some type of fun~Zettai: I-I would really appreciate it indeed!
: Well then, you're in luck. This battle is boring even though it's barely started, so how about I take a seat right here. I'm sure that teasing you will be FAR more fun than some silly pieces of cardboard.
: Never underestimate the power of cardboard.Zettai: True. People have fought wars over cards and-MMPPHH!
*Zettai is silenced by Melona sitting her huge ass against him. He's very smothered, and she shakes her huge ass to tease him further.*
: Ah hah hah, what do you think off my huge ass here, Zettai? Doesn't it feel so incredibly soft and sexy?Zettai: MMPPH! So big and heavy indeed! Though I will have to say that Menace's fat brown ass felt even better.
: Ara, did I hear that right? You prefer that queen over my exquisite ass?
: He certainly did! It sounds like he needs some sort of punishment.Zettai: MMPPH! B-but I can barely breathe! What could you do to “punish” me more, hint hint...
: Such a perverse request, but when you beg so cutely I can't refuse. Here it comes!*Melona then lets out a huge sexy fart, even lifting herself off Zettai's body with her force.*
Zettai: MMPHH! This does smell terrible but so erotic! Though... Menace also did this, with her fat MenASS!
: I'm starting to become a little angry with your perverse thoughts, Zettai. But let me tell you, did Menace manage to do THIS!*Melona's slime ass grows to a huge size, breaking Zettai's chair and covering his whole body. He's on the ground now, smothered by massive assflab.*
Zettai: MMPPHH!
: Oh ho ho, now I'm certain that you prefer my ass! You're so amazed that you can't speak, can you?
: It may be that he's smothered so much he can't make any other noises.
: Then I had better keep ripping my unladylike flatulence. I'm sure that he enjoys it, but I hope that it's not bothering you or the other viewers.
: As long as Zettai can absorb your gas I do not mind.
: Wonderful then. Let's keep teasing my little toy then~*Melona continues to fart, covering Zettai with her gases and keeping him content as Topaz continues with the blog.*
==Body==
===Build===
Misaki has a pretty alright body, though it's not shown off all that much. It's not a fanservice series, after all. That said, it seems like she is purposely trying to annoy fans of asses. She wears a long skirt in the first season, and whenever she's wearing a swimsuit she's covering her ass with a skirt or pareo or something else dumb. She really needs to show off her ass more, like how Kourin did in the Mainichi Climax ED (though she was wearing spats, so don't expect nudity). It's a shame because I saw this nice fanart and thought it was official, with Misaki in the bathroom with steam and showing off her bare ass but sadly it doesn't seem to be canon so boo. Granted her waist is nice, including her navels, and she shows off her shoulders a fair bit but those aren't as sexy as her ass would be. Misaki is also said to be quite tall, though there are no measurements for this series (not that I would expect any, being fair). Overall while not bad I'd like if she would have shown off her ass more, or at least cause an iconic enough moment that I would remember after all these years.
Grade: B-
===Chest===
Misaki has a little bit of trouble here. She's not extremely mamocentric or busty, but she does have a “shounen body” which means that she has a fairly large chest or at least a medium-sized one. It's not as noticeable most of the time, but once Misaki puts on a swimsuit or something similar she seems to gain a cup size. Now, this might just be due to her jackets making her seem smaller than she is, as in the other outfits (including the ones where she's an adult) she looks about the same, but that's way too much detail to put into a woman's chest. Fortunately most of the time Misaki doesn't cause too much of an issue, and I don't think that her chest is ever brought up in the series proper either from any character (that I remember). So while Misaki has some issues she does do alright here, I guess, as it's hard to tell. But boo showing off her chest while her ass is so hidden!
Grade: B-
===Clothes==
I've brought up most of the issues with Misaki's more-problematic outfits, but I'll also explain her other outfits as well. Starting with what she tends to wear, at least in the first season, is her modified school uniform. It consists of a buttoned shirt, a black blazer with red highlights, and a long skirt with it torn at the top to show off her legs. Because her collar is open slightly she doesn't tie her ribbon. While working she wears a red apron over this outfit. In the second season she wears a pink sleeveless turtleneck that shows some of her middrift, a short skirt, and a blue jacket. She also wears a key on a necklace, which goes to a deck her parents left her way back. Some other outfits include a black bikini top with shorts and a cowboy hat, a blue-lined white bikini with pareo, and cosplay as various cards. In G, where she's an adult, Misaki wears an orange dress with a short white vest. She also wears a turtleneck with white sleeves and poofy pants. Overall Misaki's normal outfits aren't that terrible, and show off her body somewhat well but all that ass hate really drags her down. Such a shame I didn't pay more attention to that way back in the day though...
Grade: B-
: Such perversion...
: Nipah, no one cares about you, you cow!It's not too perversion. Fortunately it's not like you're TOO forced as far as fanservice goes. I blame Shounen being mamocentric, and there needs to be more assy series.
: That's certainly right, but it seems that even after being flustered Misaki will still go ahead with her moves!
: Eh? We're still fighting? I thought that was put to the side until after Topaz's blog...
: You wish. Now prepare as I call... Weather Girl, Milk as my vanguard!E-eh?! Evolution?
Tamer: Reminds me of something-oh, you said EVOlution. Sorry, reminded me of something... else..
Sounds suspicious...
: So is that all?
: Not quite, thanks to the ability of my Magus I can put it in my rear guard.
: Ehehehe... It's like she's pulling cards out of-
: NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY!
: That's right! We shouldn't pick on Misaki for putting a card on her bench!Eh, close enough.
: So that will be my turn, as I cannot attack.
: That means that it's my turn... I draw, and ride Wingal on my vanguard! And with that I can put Barcgal back on my rear guard like you did!More dogs? Ugh... I want you to wear sexy costumes!
: This isn't what you're supposed to imagine about, Topaz!Fine Fine...
: In addition, I call Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine to the side! Now, Flogal! Attack Milk!
: KYAH!*Riri shows the top card of her deck.*
: Hmmm, no additional affects... (darn it, why can't I draw a level 2? I need one for the level 3s in my hand...).
: Now, to check for an affect for me...*Misaki doesn't show anything interesting either, and places the card in her damage spot.*
: It seems that Riri is so aggressive and took first blood!
: And I'm not done yet! Flogal, power up Elaine and attack Misaki's vanguard!*Riri doesn't reveal a card as this isn't her vanguard attacking, but Misaki still checks for damage.*
: Nothing.*She places it in her damage pile.*
: It appears that Riri is doing so well for it being her first battle! She's winning two to nothing, and she only needs six to win!Get all your reverse prize cards and win, Riri!
: Do not think that you can beat me that easily. It is now my turn... Now, I ride [url=https://cardfight.fandom.com/wiki/Maiden_of_Libra]Maiden of Libra[url]
: Oh no, a level 2...
: That's right. And I also play Oracle Guardian Gemini!Not the creepy angels!
: I suppose. But they are in my rear guard behind my vanguard. Now, Vanguard... ATTACK ELAINE!
: E-eh?!*Misaki's attack destroys Riri's creature.*
: What are you doing? You can't win by not doing damage like that!
: Sometimes the illogical play is the best.
: You don't have to go easy on me.. Let's see...*Riri looks at her hand.*
: (Curses... Still no level twos. But I have the ability to use Llew... WAIT!)*She looks at her empty damage meter.*
: (I don't have the damage to use! C-could this have been Misaki's plan...?)
: Come on, Ririchiyo. Take your turn.*Misaki smirks as she fans herself with her cards. Meanwhile Riri looks like she's being pressed.*
: Huh. It seems like Riri is on the defensive, even if she's winning right now...
: (Looks like I'll have to keep pressure on her...) I call Little Sage Marron!That's something that you should have placed on your Vanguard, Riri!
: QUIET YOU!Mumble cute meganekko mumble...
: Anyway, I'll use Barcgal to boost Wingal's power and attack!
: Huh? What's the matter, Riri. Don't you have better cards to play?
: Grrr, I'll show you! ATTACK!*Riri shows off her trigger, which is nothing. Fortunately Misaki's damage card was nothing either.*
: It's now 3 to zero! Ririchiyo is halfway there!
: Oh? But the only damage that matters is the last one...
: I'll get you closer to that number than you expect! Marron, be boosted by Flogal and-
: I block with Dream Eater's shield!*Misaki reveals the card, using it's shield power to weaken Riri's monster low enough that it wouldn't do damage.*
: What a play! Misaki narrowly avoided that damage, but how will she strike back now?
: Quite fiercely, if I say so. But rather than eliminate you quickly, how about we listen back at Topaz?What about me-OH! The blog! I forgot about that!
: Somehow I'm not surprised...Anyway, as Misaki apparently needs time to think let's finish off her blog!
==Mind==
===Personality===
This is one of the best things about Misaki, which also encouraged me to want to talk about her even though I've missed so many seasons of her show. I blame it starting to lose track of being card game based and working too much with magical powers and the like, but at least Misaki is a constant on the show through all the seasons. Anyway, she's a clerk who works at the card shop her uncle Shin owns. He's also her guardian as her parents died in a terrible car accident when she was six. Ever since she gained an indelible/photographic memory, meaning that she'll remember everything that happens. Sadly this means that every time before the start of the season when she'd play the game she got reminded of her parent's death and went into shock. She's not completely over it, as it hit her in the Asian Circuit and she nearly left the team as a result. Fortunately Misaki tells herself that her parents would be happy to see her playing and enjoying the game. In addition, her memorization talents really help because Misaki plays a deck style that allows her to manipulate the cards in her deck. She then goes into Genesis, another group of cards, to show off that mechanic/sell more of that sort of card. But her sad past isn't the only reason I appreciate Misaki. As mentioned before she's a great kuudere, with a calm and quiet personality. She is also quite a bit of a snarker, with silly comments to the other characters. Sadly this happens a little less as she starts hanging out with the lead, as she starts to open up slowly but I like her cool kuudere side more. She's also known as a “banchou” or “boss lady” in school due to her height, appearance, and personality. She's not actually evil or mean or anything, just very aloof. If anything she's like an older sister to Aichi and his younger sister Emi. Misaki also has an odd type of skill level; while she did have some difficulty learning about Limit Breaks and took a few losses as a result she got hit pretty badly in the fourth season where she didn't win a single game (while in the third season she won every one, from what I've heard). Misaki is voiced by Izumi Kitta, who gives her a very nice kuudere voice but also does the emotional parts well. It's a nice tone as well with a sexy touch, and some other characters she's done (though ones that are very different from Misaki) include Cordelia the flowery yuri detective from Milky Holmes or Tomoko from WataMote (the former being another Bushiroad production). Overall I really like Misaki and she's an amazing character, what with her sad past explaining her kuudere personality, growing from being friends with the lead, and her wonderful voice all combine to make for a great girl. It's a shame that she didn't do better in other areas though.
Grade: A
===Libido==
There isn't too much that I can remember, sadly. It's been a while since I saw the series, after all. There's the possible shipping with Aichi, who I would enjoy as he's a middle school boy that's shorter than her and very passive. Maybe I'm just imagining that, but as said she sometimes acts like an older sister to him. There's also the yuri rivalry with Asaka in Asia Circuit, though I don't know how long the villainess hangs around in the later seasons. There's also some moments that might suggest that she's close to Shin, but I blame that to be because he's the one that raised her after her parent's death. She's also his niece, which being fair is the type of relationship I'm not fond of (especially since he raised her). Apparently in the manga Misaki kicked people in the face for trying to imagine her in a skimpy card's outfit as well, though I don't know the manga too well so that's just second-hand. Overall she does fairly alright, but I wish that more people paired her with Aichi, both because this is a shounen so yaoi is a major problem and because that's my favorite type of pairing.
Grade: B-
===Age===
Misaki does quite well here. She starts off in the original series as a first high school student and starting in the third season went up a grade. In the fifth through eighth seasons she seems to be in her 20's, which is quite sexy. However, in the latest version she seems to have gone back to her original age (as it's a reboot it seems). There's also numerous flashbacks, even if in the newer “Shinemon” season Misaki is in a coma in her childhood. Her birthday is November 1st which is alright. Overall I'd say that she does pretty well, including being older than Aichi and I especially enjoy her older age in the later seasons.
Grade: B+

Final Grade: B
And that's the blog for this week. What do you think about it?
: I was thinking I'd score a little better, but perhaps the years that you haven't been following the series caused problems.More like your haircut and other small issues caused the problems. But you still did pretty good, even if I would have liked to appreciate you further.
: No matter. More reason to defeat your little assistant.
: That's one good taunt! What could Misaki be planning?
: It's my trademark card-CEO Amaterasu!
: N-no... Not a level three!
: That's right! But I'm not stopping there... I soulcharge and can look at the top card of my deck...*She does so, placing it on the bottom.*
: I-is that all?
: You wish. I call Oracle Guardian, Wiseman and Silent Tom.
: It looks like Misaki has a number of high attack monsters out now! What can Riri do to stop this mad assault?
: With the booming echos from the stands I can tell that Oniisama is enjoying an “assault” of his own.
: I was wondering what that crash and stench was from. But no matter, time to continue! I soulcharge my Amaterasu...*She looks at the top card of her deck.*
: Nothing... Go to the bottom. But don't think that my turn is over just yet! Wiseman attack!*Riri reveals a Level 2 card for damage.*
: N-no! I needed those to do anything!*It goes straight to the damage pile.*
: And don't think that I've forgotten about my vanguard either. CEO Amaterasu, ATTACK!*Misaki reveals her first card, which is nothing.*
: Nothing, but with twin drive...*The second card Misaki reveals is important.*
: Oracle Guardian Nike! Critical trigger! That means that I can not only deal double damage,but for the rest of the turn Silent Tom has +5000 attack!
: What luck! Wait, which side am I cheering for? Oh well, it doesn't matter.*Riri takes 2 damage, one of which is a level 2.*
: N-no! Darn you getting land locked!Even in this game cards are important! Darn you rules that cause you to occasionally get screwed!
: It is all part of the game. Now, Silent Tom! Attack!*Riri takes another damage, with nothing triggering.*
: What a battle! In just one turn Misaki not only closed up the gap but is now in the lead!
: S-she just got lucky with that turn! I'll show you what my luck is like...*Ririchiyo draws another card, but it's as useless as the others.*
: (Grr... if only I had a level 2... Wait, she's done damage to me now... I-I can...) Don't think that I don't have a strategy either! I use Barcgal to superior call Future Knight, Llew! And with his ability I can put him, Bargal, and Flogal into my soul to superior call... Blaster Blade!Look! It's the icon of the franchise!
AmiGondola: Because it gains 500 attack for every dragon your opponent has on the field or in their graveyard?
: Wrong game!AmiGondola: A-ah yes, how could I make that mistake...
: Anyway, now that I have a Level 2 I'll use his ability! By paying two I can destroy Silent Tom!*Riri pays the cost with the damage she has taken, flipping those cards face down. Misaki sends her card to the discard pile.*
: And that's not all! I call Knight of Rose, Morgana and place Bringer of Good Luck, Epona behind my Vanguard in the rear guard!*She plays them properly.*
Wow, I wonder if Link knows you borrowed his horse...
: Now... Blaster Blade! Be boosted by Epona and attack!*Riri reveals no triggers, and Misaki did not either.*
: Looks like Riri won't be taking this laying down! The score is tied now, and her turn isn't over either!
: That's right. I have to keep going... Morgana, attack-
: I guard with Nike!*Riri's attack is useless with that guard.*
: It looks like she blocked that just in time. But just a little more damage, Riri! You're getting closer to victory!
: I'm afraid that your boasts are nothing but useless words. After all, it is MY turn... I soulcharge with Amaterasu once again... *She looks at the top card of her deck, placing it on the bottom of her deck.*
: Now, let's put you out of your misery... I call another Oracle Wiseman, and behind him I place Lucky Bird! Now, with Lucky Bird I boost Oracle Wiseman and attack!
: I-I can't let this through! I block with a Llew in my hand!
: A noble effort, but now you have nothing to guard yourself from this. Amaterasu, ATTACK! TWIN DRIVE!*Misaki reveals the top two cards of her deck, the last one being a critical trigger.*
: Psychic Bird. That's six damage, and my victory...
: Wow, with that victory Misaki really gave Ririchiyo the bird!
: It looks like the battle has come to a close, and Misaki is the victor!
: N-no... I tried so hard but I was screwed by the deck!
: I suppose that shows the might between us. Besides... When you dropped your cards... and shuffled your deck...
: Y-you can't be real. Did you remember where each card was? E-even my level 2s...
: Eh heh, I don't use this power much, but it certainly came in handy...
: YOU!*Riri attempts to flip the table, but it's been firmly nailed to the ground. So she just ends up cutely exerting herself.*
: That makes me glad that I sprung for the good constructors that kept the table in place...Himeko: Good job, Oracle Genesis! Now we only need to beat Topaz's team twice more.
: Sniff... I'm sorry that I failed you, Topaz. You must hate me now.Don't worry, Riri. I'd never hate you for something like this! You weren't in your element, and she took advantage of that.
*He pats her head cutely.*
: Don't think that this is all. We have to talk about the next battle too, giving the viewers a taste of what's to come!*Kimiko gets on the arena floor.*
AmiGondola: Me? Why me?
*She giggles as she approaches.*
AmiGondola: That's certainly right, I'm from that universe. For I am...
*AmiGondola throws off her cloak in an epic way, revealing her identity.*
