Si nos fijamos en Totsuka objetivamente, su historia no es muy feliz.
No recuerda el rostro de sus verdaderos padres. Al parecer, cuando Totsuka tenía tres años le dijeron “espera aquí mismo” y lo abandonaron en un parque.
El primer matrimonio con el que habló entonces resultó no tener niños y decidieron hacerse cargo de él, pero el marido era un ludópata sin remedio, y su mujer se desentendió de él y se fue. Cuando se marchó, no se llevó a Totsuka consigo, sino que lo abandonó, dejándole con su terrible padre adoptivo.
Al conocer su situación, la mayoría de la gente pone cara de dolor.
Pero están equivocados.
A Totsuka le resulta indiferente que sus verdaderos padres lo abandonaran. No le guarda rencor a sus padres, ni ha sentido nunca el deseo de saber quiénes eran. No es que se hubiera resignado a ello, sino que aceptaba la situación como algo natural, pensando que “bueno, en la vida te puede pasar de todo”.
Para Totsuka, el mundo estaba rebosante de cosas que le provocaban un profundo interés, y un pasado algo problemático no iba a hacerle sentir tristeza.
Totsuka, que sentía interés por cualquier cosa, sabía más que nadie sobre juegos que no costaban nada. Podía tocar innumerables canciones en una armónica roñosa que había encontrado en casa, y era insuperable cazando escarabajos. Su casa medía menos de 8 m², pero su base secreta tenía un fuerte y un anexo donde pasar las vacaciones. Se sentía fascinado por la enorme cantidad de juegos a los que se podía jugar con solo una pelota, y siempre iba corriendo de aquí para allá con los niños del barrio.
Su padre adoptivo, a quien tanto le gustaba apostar, era un desastre como marido y como padre, pero si pensaba en él como un amigo irresponsable, no estaba tan mal. A veces se iba de casa sin avisar y no volvía durante semanas, pero Totsuka tan solo pensaba “supongo que el viento ha vuelto a llevárselo de viaje” e intentaba comprenderlo. Al cabo de un tiempo, su padre regresaba con un souvenir barato para Totsuka, y se lo llevaba por ahí como disculpa. En general, el destino solía ser una montaña cercana. Subir a las montañas se convirtió en el pasatiempo favorito de Totsuka durante su infancia.
Hubo muchos momentos en que tenían tan poco dinero que les cortaban el gas o la electricidad. Una vez incluso les cortaron el agua, y en otra ocasión les cortaron todo a la vez.
-Ay, perdona…
En momentos como ese, incluso su padre agachaba la cabeza y se disculpaba, por supuesto. La verdad es que quizá hubiera sido mejor dejar que el hombre relexionara sobre lo que había hecho, pero Totsuka siempre acababa sonriendo y animándole.
-Calma, calma… ¡Ya se arreglará de algún modo!
Cuando se quedaban sin comida, Totsuka recolectaba hierbas comestibles mientras consultaba un libro de plantas salvajes, y hacía la comida con ellas. La infancia de Totsuka estaba repleta de recursos tremendamente originales.
-Tú no tienes corazón.
Cuando su padre adoptivo le dijo eso con cara triste, Totsuka acababa de empezar la secundaria.
-Aunque los padres que te abandonaron deben de sentirse dolidos por haber hecho eso en el pasado, a ti no te importa y sigues viviendo como si nada. E incluso a mí me da pena que tengas un padre tan penoso como yo, pero como eres así, no puedo mejorar.
-Eh, no hables como si fuera culpa de otros.
Por supuesto, tras haberle ofendido, su padre le contestó con un sincero “perdona”.
-Pero sin embargo, has demostrado que no tienes corazón.
-Mmm… ¿eso crees?
-Muestras interés por todo, pero no te aferras a nada.
Totsuka no sabía si aquello le convertía en un ser sin corazón, pero era cierto que no se sentía ligado a nada.
Tal como Totsuka lo veía, el mundo estaba repleto de cosas verdaderamente interesantes, pero no temía perderlo, y nunca había sentido aprecio por nada que hubiera perdido.
-Espero que seas capaz de encontrar algo que sea tan importante para ti, como para que quieras aferrarte a ello.
Y entonces, Totsuka conoció a Suoh.

Some people already got the mini K novel featuring stories penned by the seven GoRA members. Most of them are non-canon compliant, save for Black’s story about the Dresden trio.
Sweet Valentine (Blue) - Awashima gave everyone in SCEPTER4 botamochi(Japanese sweet made with rice and red bean paste). Andy took his and Kamo’s share and shoved it upon Hidaka. Munakata got an entire box of Awashima’s botamochis.
Hinamatsuri(Pink) - Tatara made a kimono for Anna. Since most of the HOMRA members were absent, Anna asked Yata to help her put it on. Yata splutters and blushes as expected. “P-p-p-please…t-t-take off your..c-c-clothes…first….” In the end Mikoto helped Anna put on her kimono.
Hanami (Orange) - SCEPTER4 members play the king game while viewing cherry blossoms, except Munakata always wins the draw and gets to be king. Munakata takes advantage of this to heap various amounts of work onto his subordinates. Hidaka “This isn’t any king game! This is a tyrant’s game! Shouldn’t a proper king game be a lot more fun than a superior forcing heaps and heaps of work onto his subordinates!?” In accordance to Hidaka’s wishes for a fun atmosphere, Munakata (who had won the draw yet again) orders Fushimi to put on a pair of those joke glasses with a nose attached. The next time, Hidaka actually wins the draw and gets to be king…he orders Munakata to also put on joke glasses.
Sand Castle (Yellow) - Hidaka suggested SCEPTER4 to have a beach vacation…except Munakata interpreted beach vacation as ‘survival training on an uninhabited island’. They have to hunt for their own meals, and apparently Hidaka had a merry chase with a shark in the ocean and had to draw his sword. Munakata is extremely interested in his subordinates’ various activities…seeing Enomoto searching for clams and the like in the sand, he follows suit. Seeing Fushimi trying to build a sand castle, he follows suit (even orders SCEPTER4 members to use their abilities to strengthen the sand castle so it doesn’t get washed away…) In the meantime Awashima manages to catch a fucking marlin for dinner.
Halloween (Red) - Kuro said that he didn’t really get to experience festivals like Christmas or Halloween back at Ichigen’s, because another of Ichigen’s disciples (Kuro’s senpai, so to speak) didn’t like it due to some problems with his love life. Though Kuro doesn’t know the details, since that particular disciple of Ichigen left a long time ago. Kuro was forced to crossdress as part of Halloween activities (his luck is shit). Though everyone is in awe of how good Kuro looks, Shiro says “Creepy.”
Christmas 1944 (Black) - Ah, the only short story in this collection that could be considered canon. As most of you have guessed, the investigation on the Dresden slate was carried out under Nazi orders. The investigation took place beneath a church(the Dresden Frauenkirche, to be precise). Weismann was the main supervisor of the project, and hadn’t known Kokujouji for more than a year. The slate was originally property of the church, and Weismann and his sister practically stayed underground all the time for research.
The Himmelreich was designed by Weismann himself back when he was still involved in weapon development. He developed it for the air forces, but they never found a chance to do a test flight because Germany was the target of many air raids. Weismann was extremely enthusiastic about seeing the Himmelreich in the sky, but the first time the Himmelreich took flight was that scene in episode 9…
Kokujouji was sent to Germany to oversee the Dresden slate project because of his capabilities in one particular area. The research into the slate only started recently, when someone observed a flying moth or something glowing red when it got close to the slate, before burning up in the end…(…hahahahah)
Kokujouji detected a lot of seals on the Dresden slate and managed to break some of them. It is thanks to his efforts that the research into the slate saw good progress. Apparently Kokujouji belonged to Japan’s astrology department, and he’s like…an onmyouji or something. He’s trained in the Five Elements, and was able to break the seals on the slate (which uses wood, fire, metal, water to seal earth) by disturbing the cycle of the elements. (okay this is starting to sound like a different anime). The slate’s powers have been sealed for a long time, it seems. The Latin word for “King” appears on the slate.
New Year (Green) - The main HOMRA trio, Tatara, Mikoto and Kusanagi visit a shrine. Tatara casually suggests for Mikoto to manifest his Sword of Damocles thinking that it’ll get them donations because it looks like a sign of good fortune. Kusanagi “Sign of misfortune, you mean. What a dangerous thing…Mikoto…please don’t take him seriously, alright??”

The cast of Junjo Romantica on Tomodachi Collection Shinseikatsu for 3DS.
I’ll probably make Sekaiichi next.
Dudes dating, having babies in Tomodachi Collection
A bug in Nintendo’s Japan-only life sim for the 3DS, Tomodachi Collection: New Life, allows male Miis to live together, marry, go on honeymoons, and even have children, according to a report from Kotaku. Female Miis don’t get to enjoy the same rights, but this is at least more than what you could do in Fire Emblem: Awakening, in which you had to settle for innuendos and Old Hubba being a creeper.
Someone claims to have spoken to Nintendo’s customer service and heard that the publisher will patch the bug, which is pretty lame. Also lame: still no announced plans for a Western release.
