Taichi Nanao/Taichi Makeover Plan

A Real-Deal Complete Outfit Coordination

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Taichi	All the clothes here are so cute!
Yuki	Aren’t they? They’ve got cute clothes for a cheap price. It’s hard to resist.
	Oh, this one’s pretty good.
Taichi	That one’s so cute!! It’d suit you really well, Yuki-chan!
Yuki	Lemme see in the mirror.
	Hmm… Yep, this one’s alright.
Taichi	It suits you really really well!!
Yuki	Right? I’ll hold it for now though, there’s a lot more I wanna check. Let’s go see the dresses next.
Taichi	Roger!
Yuki	Hmm... Each one of the dresses in this new line-up is pretty cute.
Taichi	Ah! This dress donning autumn colors is so adorable!
	Even someone like me might fit in this kind of dress, so maybe I’ll try it out~! Haha, just kiddin—
Yuki	If it’s something that you’d wear, then I think this one would suit you better than that one. Ah, but this other one would pass too.
Taichi	Eh?
Yuki	No wait, maybe this one instead… Although, if we’re prioritizing the silhouette instead of color…..
Taichi	Uhm… Yuki-chan?
	(I was only passing it off as a joke, but he’s sincerely going around and picking dresses that would match me…!)
Yuki	Alright, this one’s for you for sure. Ah, but I probably should ask you first— So? What do you think of this dress?
Taichi	Eh!? Uhm, well. The color’s easy on the eye, and it’s pretty cute so, uh, I think this one’s good too!!
Yuki	Knew you’d agree. Well if we’re going with this dress… Ah, this hat might fit well with it.
	Don’t know why, but I really wanna go for a complete outfit coordination with this, so we’ll need to get some socks and shoes too.
Taichi	An outfit coordination…!?
Yuki	Obviously. I can’t have you wearing that dress if everything else won’t match with it, so it’s gotta be consistent from head to toe.
Taichi	(... Uu, Yuki-chan’s having too much fun with this, I can’t just tell him that I wasn’t that serious about what I said anymore.)
	(But, since he’s already trying to come up with a full fit just for me, may as well…)
	(‘Sides, I can definitely slay a cute get-up no problem!)
Clerk	Thank you for coming~!
Taichi	… Y’know, we went out today to shop for your own clothes, so is it really OK for you to be getting these just for me instead?
Yuki	I wouldn’t have done it in the first place if I wasn’t.
	I had fun myself, so I did it because I wanted to, that’s all.
Taichi	I see! Thanks either way! Well, should we be heading home?
Yuki	What’re you talking about? I said I wanted to get this as consistent as possible, didn’t I? Let’s find a wig next.
Taichi	You want it with a wig too!?
	(He did say he’s going for a complete look, but if he’s going this far, then Yuki-chan really must be serious…!!)
Yuki	Okay, that completes the outfit. Mh-hmm, looks good. Have a look at the full-body mirror yourself.
Taichi	Wah, it’s like I’m a completely different person…!!
	The outfit was so cute that I was getting worried if it’d actually suit me. But thanks to the wig, not a single thing feels off about this super cute look at all!
Yuki	Naturally. It’s a complete outfit coordination that I came up with, after all. Now then, here. Hold this.
Taichi	A plushie of Yurukuma…? Are you gonna take a pic?
Yuki	Yep. With this, then there’s nothing else left for me to add. After I take the pic, we’ll take a walk.
Taichi	Eh, with me in this!?
Yuki	Why else do you think you’d dress up this much for? It’d be a waste if we didn’t go out and show off such a cute fit, you know.
Taichi	Ehhh!?!?

Taichi	(Coming all the way here in an outfit that I’m not used to had me all nervous, but I think I’m getting a little used to it now…)
Yuki	What do you wanna get?
Taichi	Let’s see…….
	(What I really wanna order is some soda, but since I'm sporting this cute look right now——)
	I’ll have a cake slice and some tea.
Yuki	Huh, no juice or the like? Or are you doing this to match the outfit?
Taichi	Yea— Ahem. Yes, that’s right.
Yuki	Ho-hoh. As expected of the actor who played Zero and Olivia. The mannerisms and speech fit just right with your look.
Taichi	!!
	(Yuki-chan complimented me…!)
	Ehehe, you think so? I’m so glad!
	(Now that I think about it, if I treat this like an etude, then it’s actually pretty fun!)
Taichi	Ohh, this general store is doing a collab with Akapoyo-kun! They’ve got loads of new goods that I’ve never seen before…!!
	Hmm… There’s too many good stuff to choose from. Hey, Yuki-chan——
	(HUH!? Yuki-chan’s not here! I didn’t even notice when we got separated. I gotta go find him——)
Man A	Heeey, sweetheart. You’re a bit on the broader type but you’re still pretty cute.
Man B	Wanna come have tea with us, missy?
Taichi	(Am… Am I being hit on!?)
	Uhm… Errhmm……
	(Wh-What should I do… I could just say I’m actually a guy and no girl, but…)
	(Even just saying that out loud would be too embarrassing…!!)
Man A	Hey, you’re fine with that, right? Just a little chat over tea, y’know.
Tenma	Hey, can’t you see you’re being a nuisance?
Taichi	(T-Ten-chan!? Why is he here!?)
Man A	Ha? Don’t get in the way.
Man B	None of your biz, bud. It’s rude to barge into someone’s convo like that~
Tenma	…None of my biz?
	This guy’s a friend of mine. Of course it’s my biz.
Man A	….Eh? Su-Sumeragi Tenma!?
Man B	Shit, like we can go against him! W-We’re always supporting you! Sorry for the trouble!!
	*RUNNING FOOTSTEPS*
Taichi	(Were they fans of Ten-chan?)
Tenma	You alright?
Taichi	Yeah! Thanks for saving me! But wow, I’m surprised you could actually tell it’s me.
Tenma	It’s hard to really notice from afar but… Well, this morning, Yuki had mentioned that he was gonna make you wear this dress here.
	So I figured it out from the clothes. Plus, anyone who’s seen you play a female role more than enough times would be able to tell that it’s you once up close, right?
Taichi	Is that really the case?
Yuki	Geeeez. So this is where you were.
Taichi	Ah, Yuki-chan!
Igawa	Tenma-kun, I’ve been looking everywhere for you—!! —Huh? You two are here as well?
Taichi	Igawa-san!?
Yuki	What’re you doing here?
Tenma	We were heading back from work, but Igawa had some shopping to do so I tagged along. Since we’re here already, why don’t we go around together then?
Igawa	I can drive you all by car on the way home.
Taichi	For real!? That’d be awesome!
Yuki	If that’s the case, then maybe I should shop a little more.
Taichi	Oh, I’m going to check this store with the Akapoyo-kun collab first, then we can go around after that!
Yuki	Actually. I just realized… Is it really OK for you to go around like this with us?
Tenma	Like what?
Taichi	Ah!! Now that you mention it… With my current get-up, you don’t think— Someone from the weekly mag might catch a pic of Ten-chan being with two girls!?
Yuki	Never mind a weekly mag. Just about any ordinary person can take a pic, upload it, and let social media do the work of spreading it around.
Igawa	W-W-We have to be careful about that! That’d be no good at all…!!
Tenma	But this is Taichi, no matter how you look at it. It should be fine, right? Besides, even if someone does take a picture, they’re the one who’s misunderstanding it.
Igawa	…Misunderstanding or not, I can’t just let our affiliated talents be at risk of a possible scandal blowing up...!!
Igawa	UHMM! S-SAY!!! Taichi-kun, Yuki-kun!! Your outfits are looking adorable today, aren’t they!!!
	Yuki-kun and Taichi-kun! Those outfits reaaaaally suit you guys you knoooow!! Adorable! REAALLY ADORABLE!!
Tenma	What’s gotten into you all of a sudden, Igawa?
Yuki	You’re being too loud.
Taichi	Everyone’s staring at us…!!!
Customer A	Oh, so the ones walking with Tenma-kun are boys too! How cuuute~!
Customer B	Huh, aren’t those three from MANKAI? I wonder if this is for a role study.
Customer C	Maybe! But who’s the one shouting behind them….?
Yuki	… Never thought the day would end up like this.
Taichi	I was expecting to be noticed by people, but even THIS is way too much for me..!!!
