Maeda Ema

1: Ema/Sarah
Sarah decides that Ema really needs to relax, and she knows exactly how to help with that...

2: Ema/Kanako
Since Keitaro and Naru's wedding, Kanako has more-or-less given up on having him, and tries to move on. There's just something about Ema that draws her in, just like Keitaro did (well, does, really).

3: Ema/Keitaro/Harem
In order to help Ema with her nevousness and clumsiness, Kei and the girls decide that, whenever she klutzes out, whoever is nearby will punish her appropriately, and when the punishment is over, comfort her (and if she took it well, reward her), to show that there are no hard feelings. Apart from spanking, or being tied up, punishments might include things like loss of privleges for some length of time (for example, clothing privleges, either all at once, or piecemeal - she loses her blouse privlege, then her bra privlege, then...), and other interesting things.

(The last one was inspired by the untitled Sarah/Keitaro fic F1 posted to the Hardcore Lemon Forum, and would work as a sequel or prequel, if he doesn't object.)

Nice challenge. ^_^ It does tickle me, although I doubt I'll be working on any Love Hina stuff for a while, that fic seems to have brutally slaughtered my muse.

As for the third option well... I doubt it. I was going for a 'semi-realistic' (Yeah, riiiight... <<;; ) approach with that fic, and while Harems are fun, they're... not realistic in the current world setting.

That said, I'm all for this challenge. Ema needs some love too! ^^

To concept3,

I think you want to dissuade her, not encourage her... :snigger:

SimmyC · Sep 10, 2006

Definately a nice challenge. Especially since, Ema is so rarely used in fanfics (granted, for good reason since she only appears at the end of LH). And a lemon?

~

Well, sort of. Ema certainly isn't, um, up there in the looks department. If only Ema looked like Naru without the violent personality... :unsure:

That being said, I do like number 3. Though that one probably works best as a lemon. A lemon that I have no confidence in writing.

Fixed. Remember, boys and girls, Naru is unhot compared to our beloved Okinawa girl.

Dark Knight Gafgar · Sep 10, 2006

Only Mutsumi doesn't HAVE a violent personality. Your fix fails.

Dark Knight Gafgar said:

Depends what you mean for 'violent personality'. Mutsumi is certainly spectacularly good at inflicting violence on herself. How did it go the first time she met Keitaro? Trip, conk her head on the steel floorboard and get crushed by her own melon?

Okay, maybe replace 'violent' with 'clumsy'. But the fact remains she's a disaster zone in her own right.

Dark Knight Gafgar · Sep 10, 2006

The fact remains that Mutsumi doesn't have a Naru-violent personality. Again, your fix fails.

GenocideHeart · Sep 10, 2006

Dark Knight Gafgar said:

It doesn't specify Naru-violent, just violent. In fact, technically Simmy is wrong too, as he's asking for Ema to just LOOK LIKE Naru, not to BE Naru without the personality. And Ema's personality is the furthest thing from violent there is.

Seriously, since when is personality a part of looks?

Either way, I'd say all three of us fail. Simmy for confusing personality with looks, me for being anal and you for butting in.

Have a nice day.

And for the record, I could argue that Mutsumi HAS a violent personality, in a sense. She does her damnedest to get Keitaro and Naru together, EVEN THOUGH SHE CAN CLEARLY SEE that she does nothing but hurt him. It's almost as if she WANTS him to be hurt...

toraneko · Sep 10, 2006

Now you're reading too much into it, GH.

Mutsumi certainly has her devious side, but she's clearly motivated by her want to see Keitaro happy, and she thinks pairing him with Naru accomplishes this. Which, in canon LH, happens.

Anyway, Ema... yeah, I have to admit, Akamatsu really did a number on making her look as plain and unappealing as possible. However, it seems that by doing so, he unintentionally gave her moe appeal. ^_^
Also, I feel it pertinent to point out that Keitaro was a clumsy geek who had little to no appeal to the opposite sex at the start of LH, but by the end he's caught the eyes of all the Hinata girls (minus Haruka). Ema's intro is clearly meant to mirror Keitaro's (going so far as to include similar setups and even character poses), so that should be a tip-off that she'll wind up to be something special.

Dark Knight Gafgar · Sep 11, 2006

GenocideHeart said:

I can agree with that assessment.

SimmyC · Sep 11, 2006

Bah. GH is just being his anal self.

My point was, if Ema 'looked' like Naru (which I could argue, is 'hot' looking. Just not Mutsumi 'hot'. Which yes, IMO, WAY hotter than Naru. And yes GH, I could have mentioned ANY of the other girls too [Naru is one of the least hot girls in the series. But I'd still hit it if Naru got a lobotomy

]), keeping Ema's personality (mirrored to Keitaro as toraneko pointed out), I would have been more

~ to the idea of a Ema lemon. As it stands, Akamatsu did a fine job of making her THE most boring looking character in the series IMO.

As for Mutsumi, I just believe that she wanted Keitaro to be happy (and why that would equal him being with Naru the violent bitch is anyone's guess. But sadly, she wasn't the only one to think that in the canon <_<). While she is a walking disaster, I see that as more being clumsy than being 'violent'.

Fatuous One · Sep 11, 2006

IMO, the moe factor (as tora mentioned) for Ema shoots her 'hawtness' way up. In a way, being less attractive then many of the other girls makes her more attractive in a way, if that makes sense.

/no, it doesn't.
/well, too fucking bad!

SimmyC · Sep 11, 2006

Yeah. I mean, personality does kill 'hawtness' in say, Naru. So personality is important. But, especially for lemons, Keitaro in a skirt alone doesn't cut it IMO. Sure, I want her to do well like Keitaro, but I won't go

~ to a lemon fic with her either.

toraneko · Sep 12, 2006

Well, yeah, that's both the upside and downfall of moe: the character is a sympathetic one, so you'd at least probably like to give 'em a big hug, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'd wanna pork 'em. ^_^

I wouldn't mind a girl like Ema, and I'd bet that when she grew up she'd turn her share of heads. However, I'd probably think of her in a "little sister, not in the hentai sense" way if I met her before she finished filling out.

Fatuous One · Sep 12, 2006

Well, yes, but the downside of moe is only applicable if you're not a perverted fiend, which a good deal of the (active) residents here are.

...or that could just be me. ^^;;

/fiend? Would that be a succubus or incubus?
/neither, it would likely be a pit fiend...

...screw you guys... <_<

SimmyC · Sep 12, 2006

:rofl: Yup. We're all perverted freaks here.

So to reliterate, moe, great person to hug, great person to be friends with, great person to help succeed in life... not great to screw. Now, IF she does grow up and 'fill out' so to speak, different story (though she seems to be at that age where she won't be doing a lot of 'filling out'. Unless she has a sudden growth spurt. Or does some 'improvements'. :unsure: ).

Fatuous One · Sep 12, 2006

But, see, that's what I was saying... I beg to differ on the last point.

I find this very hittable.

But actually, I found Keitaro cute (and hittable) at the beginning of the manga too so... ^^;;

SimmyC · Sep 12, 2006

Well, with Keitaro... um, since I'm a guy so I never saw him as 'hitable' (and not in the Naru way.

). :unsure: But at least he wasn't some fat ugly guy like a lot of hentai mangas. Hence, the idea of him with a hot girl = win!

Maeda Ema? Looking at the pic again, actually, I will have to 'slightly' change my stance and say that yeah, I'd 'hit' it too.

Just again, compared to the resident 'babes', she's still low on the list. Heck, if Naru had a labotomy, I'd 'hit that first' before I go to Ema. :snigger:

Fatuous One · Sep 12, 2006

Yes, I realize I have strange tastes, which is why my opinion would be negated at times due to conflicting with 'normal' opinions.

Ema rates pretty high for me, actually. Head and shoulders above Naru (even with a lobotomy). But again, that's just me.

SimmyC · Sep 12, 2006

Yeah. I still don't understand why Keitaro would go to that violent girl. I mean, in terms of looks, Motoko and Mutsumi still beat her there. Heck, I might even add Kitsune and Kanako too (the latter though has 'family' issues so it is understandable why he wouldn't go to her). And the whole 'it is what the inside that counts', um, like the fact that the 'inside' of Naru seems to be an S&M girl wanting to get out? <_< No matter how you slice it, Naru is just... ugh.

Saying that, Akamatsu though still did a bang up job of making sure Ema looked 'boring'. Now, she is still nice looking, but IMO, still not up there, even to Naru (who as I said before, isn't quite up there in looks herself either).

Israfel · Sep 12, 2006

Eh, I'm gonna' have to back F-1 on this and say that, to me, Ema is extremely hittable. As F-1 said, maybe it's just my particular taste, but I find that sort of bookish plainness and awkwardness to be extremely attractive. So...

Dark Knight Gafgar · Sep 12, 2006

Geez, y'all act like Naru's Satan incarnate! C'mon, even Naru's got some redeeming qualities. She's attractive for one (I'd put her above Mutsumi, though not by much), she's patient when she wants to be (she becomes a schoolteacher, such qualities are fucking required), and she does treat Keitaro kindly every now and then (like when she voluntarily agrees to not tell everyone that Keitaro ISN'T in Tokyo University at the very beginning). Yes, Naru gets violent often (though usually it's due to Keitaro's rotten luck and clumsiness, or because the person getting beaten up deserves it [like Kentaro, as I've heard that he gets a few Naru-punches of his own in the anime]), but that doesn't make her something to be avoided like the plague.

It's not like acknowledging that Naru has SOME positive attributes is gonna cause a portal to hell to open up behind you where Satan will come out, spit in your eye, kick you in the balls, piss on you, then toss you down to where Dominatrix Naru is waiting to beat the shit out of you for all eternity.

Lord Raa · Sep 12, 2006

That is very true, DKG.

Naru is physically attractive, however, she does have a few issues to work out.

You never had my math teacher. The whole "teachers have to be patient" myth is bullshit. All they ask of teachers nowadays is that they know their academic stuff, patience is valued very little, assuming it's considered at all.

And I actually find Naru to be the least hot of the whole cast by a large margin.
