Ma~i.

She says ‘Pooh bear’ to glasses. Ahaha~


Mao, Chairman of the People’s Republic of Kouichi.

Mao and the Great Leap Forward into glasses land.


Tomoyo Before.

Tomoyo After. See what I did there, etc.


Hiromi, basketball player.

Hiromi, grabbing-undies-off-clothesline service gymnast.

Is this some sort of moe sandbagging or something? Hold back on some of the niche appeals, grab a person’s heart through genuine character development, and then, bam! Megane in the closing episodes of the show. Who do I have to thank for this idea?

(I feel like I’m missing a few from recent visual novel shows, but this should be plenty disturbing.)

(Clannad and KimiKiss reviews coming up eventually…seriously…)

  1. There’s this Asian (not sure which ethnicity exactly, but it could be a South-East Asian thing) saying that connects a new haircut or look with finding someone new/moving on… but I digress.

    You could probably relate this megane switch-and-bait to that, although what exactly makes it the trigger for each girl is hard to trace. An “I’m finally honest with myself” feeling, I guess?

  2. Or perhaps, glasses are just moe like that.

  3. Yeah, girl wearing glasses are hawt. >D
