Ah, Valentine’s Day… the ultimate lose-lose holiday. If you have someone, be prepared to pay for your love, and if you are single, be prepared to have that fact shoved in your face for weeks on end. As the old saying goes, misery loves company.
Three Guys Spending Valentine’s Day Alone
- Suzuki (Shugo Chara): No one knows your name, and the object of your desires is surrounded by no less than 3 super-hot guys. Oh yeah, they also have cute Guardian Chara, but at least you will eventually be able to program your own eroge.
- Hayato Ike (Shakugan no Shana): You’ve settled into the doomed “helpful friend” role, and the girl you’re crushing on is in love with a guy three times as manly as you. He also is always recharged every midnight, while the latest episodes have clearly shown that you have a stamina problem.
- Gio (Dragonaut): The ladydragon you’ve sworn to protect is in love with a human, and you’re always on the lookout for the male stalker who wears a thong on his head. And just because you had that itsy bitsy blowup on Mars, now everyone hates dragons and you are stuck cooking for Toa and Jin.
Three Girls Spending Valentine’s Day Alone
- Pheles (Shakugan no Shana): Johan won’t return your calls and wants you to stay away. You should have known better than to schedule the Reiji Maigo to automatically download all the newest H-doujinshi at midnight. I hear Wilhelmina is available… still.
- Odajima Reimi (Bamboo Blade): One look at your mother is enough to send the guys scampering, and Miya Miya only has eyes for little Dan-kun. When you’re alone with your photographs, you pretend that Miya Miya is smiling for you.
- Chloe (Spice and Wolf): You just let the town’s wolf spirit get away with your crush, and she’s an even better merchant than you are. Things were going so well, before Lawrence compared you to your dad and then slipped out of town.

The day of self-conscious reflection while eating chocolates you made yourself…
No soloing the deep dive into that brown stuff for me this year because I found someone after a 3 year draught. Although I wouldnt mind spending some time with those three lovely ladies above.
w/e! Suzuki is just a loyal fanboy!
…same goes with Reimi LOL
And still writing loads of smutty Wirhelmina x Pheles fanfics. LOL
*gets out his Bucket O’ Gibs and tosses them at Kabitzin. Then flings a grenade.
I will feast on your entrails.
Gio’s the saddest of the lot. From potential love rival to emasculated cook-cum-housekeeper is worse than falling into the Friend Zone, if you ask me.
I agree that Gio is a sad one, but not just for the reasons you mention. Think about it, the only female dragon main character left now with huge bazoongas is Widow. Not only does a name like that imply MAJOR baggage, but she hangs out with thongface =(.
Wilhelmina drafting a valentine card with Tiamet’s help is sad and moe at the same time. And how is it possible for a cute-meido to be that unappreciated as a suitor? Is it the mask?!
After watching episode 6 I’m thinking Chloe is the saddest of the lot.The words “No Hope” may as well be tattooed across her forehead now. At least the others had a shadow of a chance.
Bah, Valentines Day I am celebrating Adnan bin Saidi Memorial Day.
Oh man, how could I forget my most favorite loser Suzuki (maybe cause a certain handsome blogger i know doesn’t blog this series no more
)?! I do feel for him though (mostly because he describes me almost perfectly), but of course, US LOSERS BECOME SUCCESSES IN THE FUTURE!!! Like, for sho!
(oh, and its been itching me for awhile, but is the “You Are Not Alone” a reference to Michael Jackson or Evangelion… I MUST KNOW!)
LOL! But Suzuki is <3! Suzuki fangirl speaking here! that’s a half-meant joke XD
LOL, Ike, that poor guy xD I truly feel sorry for him.
