Subs are up! I mispronounced Myosotis so bad... anyways I hope that you enjoy this video!! I worked very hard on it!! As of editing and currently writing this conment, all I have to say is that I love Mafuyu and I hope you do too!

ngl mafuyu's the character i relate the most. the whole being a straight A student, having a caring/controlling parent who pushes you into an unfulfilling but stable, "perfect" life, having depression and feeling lonely and empty... it just hit home. i hate the people who dislike mafuyu because she's selfish or mean, the girl literally lost her personality and dreams because she was too selfless like??? and the whole guiding a lost child to what lies beyond event, i was like that chainsaw man meme repeating she's just like me fr fr lol. from the panic attack at a mock exam to bug to her mom. she's an accurate depiction of what loving with depression and crushing expectations is like. she's the blorbo from my gacha games and i love her so much, she's so kind deep down and i can't wait until we see her best self shine through after a 2+ year journey
One thing I really like about Niigo's story is the fact that Mafuyu doesn't magically become happy when she tells others her secret. Many times I see that in animes/mangas characters with depression become happy from one day to the next by telling their secrets to their friends, however Mafuyu doesn't, she can stop pretending with the other members, which helps, but she goes at her own pace trying to find herself and Niigo gives her time for it. Mafuyu is one of my favorite characters, I can relate to her and Nene (Because I have depression and social anxiety) and you see the character in a different way when you can understand their feelings Good video! I liked hear your story. Also you have the same luck as me with Kaito, I still haven't a 4 stars card of him ;-;
i remember when i first read what lies beyond guiding a lost child ,, i wrote this whole essay: “ when her mom found her synthesizer in her room and said “ is there anything you’re hiding from me, mafuyu? “ i felt genuine fear because i have a mom similar to mafumom but shes more angry and explosive.. anyway i felt fear because ive been in her shoes. i used to use discord a lot and when i would get caught talking to strangers i could feel the blood drain from my face (my face would feel cold) as i stood there before my mother, knowing i was done, and that nothing i say or do can get me out of this situation, that shes only confronting me because she wants to see me regret it. i feel mafuyu, and even more when her mother said “ i’m just concerned for you! “ as if she wasn’t taking away her freedom. and the way mafuyu was shaking after, knowing she screwed up royally.. her mom saying “ did i do something to you ? “ textbook manipulation and i know because ive fallen for it. and poor mafuyu feeling guilty and saying sorry. i hate mafumom and the next day, when she had the option to either go join n25 at the wonderland or go take the exam, saying “ (This is awful... My insides feel like they're getting all twisted up... I'm having trouble breathing…) “ i know how she feels, the genuine fear knowing what could happen if you’re caught sneaking behind your ‘loving’ parent’s back. even when i have to restart my phone i get afraid itll break and my parents will have to fix it and see whats on there.. i dont even do risky stuff though im considering using discord again its just.. i feel afraid because of what’s happened before. and when she got to pxl.. her mom saying that.. it made me remember.. your parents giving you permission but not actually *giving* you permission. dont even get me started on the flashback, poor mafuyu getting lost as a kid and instead of being like “ its okay i know it was scary! be more careful next time no stress! “ she goes “ why did you break our promise? “ i remember once when i was 4 i kept ‘bugging’ my mom on her birthday (aka talking to her) to the point where i wasnt even allowed to stand next to her. after another strike, she locked me in my room all night, even when i was crying and begging her not to. i feel mafuyu, how her mother didn’t care at all that mafuyu was a child and treated her like an adult. my mom did too, treating my toddler self as if i should know every little thing at such a young age. but i also get how mafuyu feels, wanting to be with her friends and not wanting to worry.. so im glad she went to phoenix wonderland. i just feel for her so, so much. “ mafuyu is such a big part of me tbh,, her character and her story’s helped me confront my issues im my life - seriously nightcord saved me .. i mean life is still hard but mafuyu,, just knowing somebody understands how it feels and wrote a character based off of it. i love mafuyu’s existence
I hope you’re in a better place now!! I also really relate to mafuyu, and her event stories always make me tear up. Anyways, I believe in you, and stay strong friend on the internet! :D
i also relate to mafuyu a lot LMAO i realised that i usually find interest in characters and end up relating or kinning them at the end so I really went "oh she looks cool and edgy" to "holy shit why do I relate to her so much" also mafuyu is probably my highest kin rn cuz her feeling of disappearing is so strong that its the same exact feeling I have as well and nothing else, might need to get therapy... But I rlly like her story cuz I used to be a high-achieving student and won awards years in a row but for some reason I got sick of it and started to just fail everything so seeing Mafuyu reminds me of myself
Mafruyu was real!!! I like these kind of narrative videos. And with the effort you put in the earlier "my story" video as well as this one - visually and narratively - make me feel like I'm experiencing your journey first-hand. Thank youuuuuuuu for sharing something about you ( and also deleting feh, that part was incredibly funny to me 😭)
I enjoy heavy detailed and narrative videos like this a lot, something I can really deeply get into and this hit it off the mark! I look forward to your other content 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️ 💗 I really like it, because the same thing happened to me when I started to be curious about Mafuyu because of my situation, I thought I was the only one or than only a few people felt this way, also tysm for the flower's names 'cause a wasn't able to find them properly even with Google lens, so, thank you for this ❤️
Your thumbnail was the first rank 4 i got, i was not interested about mafuyu before and only use her because she's a high rank, but as time goes by and kept reading her storylines, i seemed to understand and began to like her, MAFUYU FAN FOREVER 💜
what a cute (?) video!! idk if that is the right word to describe this but it is honestly so adorable and heart-warming to me, hearing ppl talk about their fav characters and their dedication to said chara. Esp when said chara was so influential, that they were pretty much one of the reasons to trudge through life each day (cough cough this is my feeling w/ tsukasa). here's hoping that you can safely get all the mafuyu cards you ever desire in the future!!! Edit: love the library of ruina music in the bg btw
New to your channel!! I really enjoyed your analysis (especially of Mafuyu's cards), you really have a way with words. Also I relate quite a bit on the someone else ruining a character or media for you, it's really not fun and unfair since people are allowed different opinions without making others feel bad for it. All in all great video
As someone who got into this game around October of last year, when the 2nd anniversary event with Mafuyu, she was also the character I was drawn to immediately because of her gloomy, almost dead looking apperance. Around this very same time I was still just a few months into my freshman year of college which proved very tough for me, and I ended up falling into the very same situation as the one you described in this video. Wanting to make my mom proud of me with my grades while my mental state continued to decline, and feeling as though such ugly feelings should be kept to myself. Because of that, after reading N25's story, Mafuyu immediately became my favorite character because in multiple ways I saw myself in her. Since then however I started going to therapy and being open with my mom about how I was feeling, which thankfully she understood. At that point I began finding myself being more drawn to characters like An and seeing myself in characters like Kohane or Nene (Social anxiety is something that's still a struggle to me but I'm really trying to overcome that, just like Kohane and Nene have been doing). While Mafuyu may not be my favorite character anymore, and yes she certainly can be quite cold as mentioned in the video, I cannot forget that she was my comfort character during a dark time in my life. I love Mafuyu 💜
At first I love kanade. But then I loved mizuki when her birthday started and I played her song IDSMILE for a birthday gift ! (Trying to fc it) ever since then, I’ve loved her :)
I can relate. I know this vid was one year ago but still. I played for so long saving up for Mafuyu. And I didn’t get her. My favorite character. Never got her. Ever. So I ended up getting the 3 star ones you can get in the exchange.
i can relate to her feeling of being scared. i hate it when i just can't do what i love because of those that really just don't care about others. it's gotten me getting anxiety. plus, we have final exams so that made it worse.
I alternate between relating to mafuyu at my worst and Mizuki at my best (lol). Mafuyu was my favorite character when i started the game, and she still is. Though I also really like Mizuki, Saki, and Airi as my favorites.
Jesus such authorities who push their own values on you... Same happened to me with Kanade and Mafuyu, and in terms of kanamafu ship too. Eventually I became annoyed by that.. Irl I met some ppl who thought in such a way. One of them has changed their views over time and understood Mafuyu, but the others... Well I as well wish I stood up for my favourites lol I liked your story a lot! I have a close friend who relates to Mafuyu in a very similar way as you and that's why I really sympathize with your story!! Never liked such type of videos but yours quite changed my view of it. Maybe it's not bad to try to discover other people's feelings like that
[I'm not done watching the video yet] I'd say I also kind of relate to mafuyu, but not as strongly as you. she's a character I hate a lot but I can't help but see myself in her. I guess that relates me more to ena then. but a character that really hit home for me was Kohane. she's basically like looking in the mirror for me. I don't like her that much, and I don't want to be her, but that's the same way I feel about myself. mafuyu in that sense feels like someone i’d rather be, someone who's still kind and helpful no matter how she feels. and also someone who always has someplace to rest and be alone, people she can trust with her real feelings, and something important to work towards.
@@ei4163 idk she was mean to Ena ;-; Seriously though, I just don’t think she has sympathy for anyone, including herself. She doesn’t see any purpose or meaning in being a nice person when there’s no consequences. She says what she thinks with no regard for how the other person feels But maybe I completely took it the wrong way or something
@@lisrainforest ah ! ahaha I see xD. well it's her personality i think. when she is like this i don't take her seriously, same with ena (when she is all angry xD) but i understand why you hate her !
I think Mafuyu was appealing to me for a lot of the same reasons as you, having to put all of your energy into school work while your head was an absolute mess. This happened to me even while I was on medication. Although I always joke to my friends about Nightcord being the emo group, I don't think that's a bad thing at all, there's a reason they're my favourite group other than the fact that they make banger music. Characters like Mafuyu are what gives this game passion and depth, and what makes there so much more to it than what's on the surface.
For me I first fell inlove with Kanade because she looked cute, after reading the story I resonated with Ena, further into the story after understanding Mafuyu's character, she became my favorite character for a long time, then I read secret distance and Mizuki is now my new favorite, Mafuyu stands at 2nd place tied with Ena, Kanade at 3rd place and An is tied with Airi at 4th
Mafuyu has been my fav ever since I picked up this game, and that was around january this year or december last year during the EN three legged race banner .. I love her so much, she reminds me of myself way too much 😭 I probably kin her most, Ena and Mizuki ties close second! I saved up for the Snow White In Oblivion banner for very long and got 51k crystals in the end but didnt manage to get her 😭😭😭 I always follow along her stories and honestly the recent anniversary story… WAAAAA 😭 I feel so proud of her and I really wish her the best, seeing how much she’s improved makes me so happy
