To GG Readers,
Because I am becoming fond of Tiffy, here is a pic of her... anime-style~
I know I have been neglecting the chart for the GG Char Tourney for a while now but I can assure you that it’s done on my computer and that I haven’t had time to post it up yet. I realize that being sick is not fun when you are behind in everything- writing, schoolwork, and projects. After recovering from my evil flu, I am thankful for good health once more. As my friend aka character Theresa Chelsea Alonso like to say, “The secret to a happy life is good health and a bad memory”. Hurray for me having both~ Maybe that’s why I’m so cheerful constantly?
I know it’s been a while but Chapter 68 is finally here and thanks to my demon editor who I will not name unless he gives me permission to, my horrible grammar won’t be as obvious as previous chapters. Thank you, my demon editor for all your hard work! Let’s hope that you won’t run away as quickly as the others~ ^^ Moving on, I haven’t been able to create double matches for the GG Char Tourney for a while so to make up for it this time, there’ll be an exhibition match for fun. I’ll post the results along with the next chapter. Please vote in Round 42 and stay tune for that!
Exhibition Match:
VS 
CERINA CELESTINE VS SANDARA MARINA
If there is one comment I hear a lot in regards to the GG Char Tourney, it is that both Cerina and Sandara should be in it. Unfortunately, both Cerina and Sandara are introduced a little too late in the story so they didn’t make the cut even though their arcs are finished before other characters in the tournament. Besides being close friends, Cerina and Sandara are considered very strong female figures in GG. Cerina is super competitive and will do anything to win the man she wants over. Sandara is a prideful Hispanic woman who will do anything to prove to the school that she is more than what she seems. Both girls are talkative and flirtatious in their own ways. They have enough screen time with one of the major characters (Jezebelle and Jordan respectively) and they are promising candidates for GG Tourney if they made it. Between these two young ladies, who will be blessed with an exhibition match win?
VS 
NATHAN FORSHAW VS LIONARD LEVINE
There are a lot of things Nathan and Lionard have in common. First, they are both part of Marching Band and very musically-orientated. They are both Jewish and passionate. They both like to talk a lot. The difference between them is probably that Nathan is all about being a man and Lionard the complete opposite. While Nathan preaches on what it takes to be a real man, Lionard is off knitting and shopping for clothes. Both of these young men were introduced late and didn’t make the tourney either, though both of them might have done decently well against the others in it so far. This is a test of masculinity of both of them. Will the funny and enduring Nathan prove that a masculine representative is favored in this exhibition match? Or will the intelligent and sweet Lionard prove that only real men wear pink and white?
VS 
EUN SUNGWOO VS STAN LEE
to be added
Round 42 (Wins are neglected thanks to the outdated chart):
VS 
VENUS HERMOSA VS SOPHRONIA STEVENS
to be added
VS 
EUNICE HONG VS CRYSTAL SHIRATORI
If there is one person who should hold the crown of unpredictability, it is none other than Crystal Shiratori. Whether it is because she has the same name as the most beloved character in Sweet Heart or because her character is that memorable, Crystal has been slamming down very hard opponents lately. Too many in fact that Eunice might be in danger. Eunice is doing extremely well, moving one spot up each time, until she is in sight of the top sixteen. If she gathers a couple of more wins, she might make the top sixteen for sure. Unfortunately, it is time for Eunice to be up against someone who can’t be predicted to win or lose. It is fate that Eunice and Crystal are fighting on this day. What will come of this match? Will Eunice lose her slow but steady momentum? Or will Eunice show Crystal that consistency is the key to victory?

Hello Minnie,
I know I’m behind in Kampfer. I’ll get that post out as soon as possible.
Judging by the completed arc list, you are done with the Playmakers, most of the tennis girls, the Femme Fatales, the Populars except for Monika, and various students from other groups. Will Minnie get to all of them? I doubt it but we’ll see.
I thoroughly enjoy this chapter, especially the Sandara and Lionard bits. I like both minor characters immensely. I love Sandara’s story slightly more because of the closure, unlike Lionard’s. I like the Jordan/Sandara pair, but I agree with the Sandara ending. Sandara getting together with Jordan would have ruined her strong woman character image. I prefer that they both went their separate ways, each taking something from the other. It’s bittersweet and fitting. As for Lionard, I can tell he’s quite taken with Jezebelle. I’m not sure if you’re going to build him up to be a love rival or not though. Let’s hope not.
Hurray for Jin! Hurray for Jin! Hurray for Jin! Yes, I need to say that three times to cool my inner fanboy. I know there’s a JoRin scene (I love that petting moment!)/JorJin scene (Jordan’s crush!) and I love them too but really, Jin by himself makes me happy. Jin runs over to do the laundry and makes Rin-chan’s bed for her. He’s so ridiculously nice and thoughtful. I love how Rin and Jordan are on the same scale of housework idiocy too. Those two have a lot in common than I thought. After that, Jin mistakes their emotional affair for a sexual one and is having corrupted mental fantasies about Jezebelle. Oh Jin. You are so awesome. In addition, Jin manages to defend and inspire Sandara in the restaurant later. He’s so much win. Best main character ever.
Kristian, will you win Rin back this time or will it be the end of the line for you? I hate that cliffy. I want to know what happens next.
Update soon Minnie!

[“I'm coming then,” said Jordan, smiling cutely and heaving himself up on top of her bed] Are you TRYING to make me explode from the cute? <333
[Jordan pulled Rin into a hug. “My wife and I must share a room and a bed. ] *explodes*
What the fuck are you doing to me, Minnie? Why does he like touching her so much and yet insists that it's not sexual? It's sooo cute <333.
[Rin remembered and said to herself, “It's only petting. It's only petting. If it were Kristian, he would go way further than that.”] Oh, Rin-chan, you know you secretly like it.
[I know it too because you're starting to look good.] Tee hee. Roundabout way to give a compliment, Jo-kun. Saying it like an insult.
HAHAHA JinRin moment was so cute <333.
pwahaha, horny!Jin is so weird.
About Jordan/Sandara, my shipping sensibilities are getting in the way of my writer sensibilities. That is, I love Sandara as a character, and she's great with Jordan. But I love Jorin, so I have this tiny, tiny grudge against her, and I hope they don't become the canonical end couple. I mean, Jorin is highly unlikely at this point, but still. Jordan/Sandara seems a little convenient since you only introduced her a few chapters ago. Don't listen to me, I'm just being a lame shipper right now.
Oh god, cliffhanger! I kind of hate Kristian at this point, but Cory and Gary get plus points for this. But man, making her wait 2 hours? I guess Kristian kind of got caught up in thinking of himself as the noble boyfriend who does no wrong and couldn't see that Rin-chan was trying her best. That, and he's probably also a little intimidated by Jordan Greene, the most popular boy in school. It's good to see him straightened out though. Now I really can't wait for next chapter. <3

PS: No, I don’t really hate Kristian, but I’m a girl and Rin-chan and a Jorin shipper, and all those add up to being on Rin-chan’s side all the way. Also I think you purposely painted Kristian as less sympathetic here.

Of course you have permission to let out my name. Since it seems that most people use their actual names, that’s fine with me too, unless you recommend I stick to my alias, but with this post, that’s all kind of irrelevant anyway.
Anyway, time for the Jin fanboy to emerge. The boy is such a cute little ball of fuzzy warmth, it makes me tingle inside to see someone like him (because I”m sort of like Jezebelle, won’t lie). Then again, I have the sneaking suspicion someone’s going to break him soon. I honestly hope that that doesn’t happen, and it seems like Jin is impervious to breakage, but you never know. The bigger (or in this case more awesome) they are, as the cliche goes.
Kristian’s being a dick, nothing new there, but at least he came to his senses with a hand from his cute lil b!atch (who I love and is completely and totally adorable, by the way). However, I’m also quite sure he’s going to go into some sort of seizure when he sees not only Jordan, but Jin as well, with his lovely “Rin-chan”. But I do love Kristian. He is a hottie after all, he’s just not as cute as Jin
Anyway, loved the chapter, and I’m looking forward to reading, and editing, as much as you care to throw at me.
Good Job and Good Luck =D
