Short black hair and grey eyes. The sheer difference in coolness between his name and his appearance is often pointed out by other characters. He is well aware. By far, the most normal looking drr character with no particular outstanding design quirk. Even the author's editor thought the series could be a rom-com centered on Mikado. The author questioned if everyone forgot that the protagonist is actually the headless black clad biker lady. He is just that average. (this is mentioned in the third light novel's afterword.)
Very plain looking boy. Short, straight black hair and dark eyes. Not especially tall or short, he's just below average. In a world where supernatural beings and super strength exist, he doesn't have anything going for him strength wise. People see him and don't really think anything of him. Now, I wouldn't exactly describe him as "normal" but that isn't related to his looks or physical abilities (also kinda spoilers, I'd recommend watching the show). Pretty normal hobbies too, like online forums, surfing the internet and hanging out with his friends.
Propaganda:
He is KEENLY aware of how Normal he is and he hates it because he's bored. he'd be so normal if he wasn't secretly insane. at one point he stabs himself with a ballpoint pen just to intimidate a gang. But he still looks so normal when he's masterminding gang violence. If you only watch the first season of the anime he will REMAIN normal to you and just seem like a very typical shonen protagonist with some power of (internet) friendship but as soon as you get into season 2 or volume 4 of the novels you will quickly see Mikado's descent into madness because he's just an adrenaline junkie. I want to study him like a bug. At one point he aquires a gun and it's horrible for everybody.
Jun Fuyumi
Reasons:
he's part of the obligatory band idol unit. there are characters in this branch with wild former jobs before becoming in an idol. he's literally just a high schooler.
Propaganda:
in a franchise full of idols that had former lives as, for example, a surgeon, royalty, or a soldier that has experienced the pain of loss during war... he's just a high schooler that plays piano, man. jun is a member of the idol band, highxjoker. his solo song, "genuine feelings", is gorgeous and he loves his unit very much, even if they make him want to tear his hair out sometimes. he is begging them to take their normal pills.
happy belated birthday saki my cute sparkly darling fluffy frilly beloved fictional bestie please eat all of the desserts and wear all of the pretty dresses as is your right <3
I'm in the middle of a rewatch of the Idolm@ster SideM anime and remembered Teru is the same height as Keith! They both count as short kings in their respective universes too, so I had to draw them together, hehe.
