4/14 - Chiikawa is infecting my life
It all started at a Miniso where I kept seeing the little keychains and I was like “I cannot buy a little trinket of a guy if I have no idea what it is from.” And for a few weeks it was just like that! But then, I started going to the mall a bit more, and I kept staring, and I finally picked up my first trinket. A little Usagi keychain. Something based on the character design alone got me interested, and the last time that happened (2019 w/ Taki and Sabina) I knew I was going to be obsessed.
Then… I was watching the clips, seeing all the cute fan videos… oh I am hooked. The universe of Chiikawa seems so pure and innocent but it seems to be much deeper and potentially darker than you might think. But, the show still is very much a fantasy slice of life and I really enjoy it!!! I usually enjoy the more simpler types of shows so this really scratched such a nice itch.
Also I love them all (with momonga growing more on me thanks to Kani) but I really love Usagi and Kurimanju. I also looove Hachiware and Chiikawa and AHH THEYRE ALL SO GOOD.
I also just now have a new thing to collect dear lord…. Not again!!!! I still love my labubus but I am like… pretty content with them. Same with my agejo closet… I’ve got one dress otw but after that I’m going to work on going through my casual wear and sorting that out.
When it comes to casual wear… I got some tracksuits ordered and a few usagi specific clothing pieces. Even though they aren’t gal brands… it would be fun to do gal codes based on Chiikawa characters!! Especially Usagi. I have a done like a fun Usagi esque code but when I get the tracksuit it will be *chefs kiss*
But I also now have a lot of plushies again…. WAH!!! I am definitely going to work on making a Chiikawa shrine SOMEWHERE. My Takisabi Shrine will exist in one part of my apartment as my Chiikawa shrine grows. I try to stick to just getting Usagi but there’s some sets I wanted the main three (I have the Miniso pajama party and ordered the magical outfit set!!) And I want to eventually get some merch of the others too. Usagi is really easy for me to get the Miniso merch bc they’re not as loved… which makes me sad but also happy because yay no scalping!!
I might stop in Boston this weekend as I found out a store got some Chiikawa plushies in stock… But I may also hold off and save money bc I have an anime convention next month and I will pray a booth has Chiikawa merch… or Miniso restocks some soon…
For now chat… I leave you with this.
