The Queen of Mary Sues, her royal pain in the side, Yukimura Chizuru -Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan-
“Chizuru Yukimura heads to Kyoto to search for her father. While there, she witnesses a fight between Rasetsu and members of the Shinsengumi. The Shinsengumi take her into custody and, once learning she is the daughter of the doctor they are searching for, decide to keep her close at hand. Chizuru follows the Shinsengumi in their battles to help the shogunate.”
The victims:
I don’t even know where to start with this one. Okay, I’ll be honest and admit that she was supposed to be a Mary Sue because Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan was first an otome game and then an anime. But did she have to be so damn annoying? Every time I see her, I just want to hit the screen and throw the PC out the window.
The anime (if I am honest and push aside the Shinsengumi and how damn hot they look) is the capital city Bordomville of the country of Yawnutopia. Everything is centered (of course) around Chizuru. They have to be because she is the main character so let’s screw the real reason why they did what they did and say it was for her.
Actually, I could have lived with that if she wasn’t a complete waste of colors, paper and screen time!
If a male character refuses to listen to the others who he has know for years, she simply waltzes in asks him nicely and he does as told. And they don’t even get any from her, so you can’t say that she’s good in bed and that’s why they are following her so blindly! And thank god they don’t bed her. Who knows what they’d get from her if they did.
She doesn’t look interesting at all (again, because the one who plays the game has to identify with her...I would sue the gaming company, really. That thing is a freaking insult to every woman out there, I swear) and she has these big (HUGE) dull eyes that are empty and her mouth is always slightly parted because she is always caught off guard or she sees something that shocks her. A freaking deer caught in the headlights of a truck has nothing on this dumb creature.
She looks like she’s the twin sister of that creature from Okane ga nai (I didn’t see/read it, I only saw a mock-review about it and it gave me nightmares). I think they also have the same personality...Actually, they might all be related to Bella. Yet, right now, I hate Chizuru more than Bella. I don’t care about that waste of space because she isn’t aiding in the killing of the characters that I like (because I hate twilight and because there’s no such thing as good vampire books anymore), while Chizuru is taking up the screen time of the Shinsengumi and making them hurry to their deaths while trying to protect her.

Creature from Okane ga nai
The story of the Shinsengumi is dramatic enough without her. She is completely useless and even in its changed state this story could have existed without her. Yet, because it was an otome game at first, we are cursed to have to put up with her. The episodes mostly follow history (changing a few things here and there to make it even more dramatic or to get a few more tears from the one who is watching it) and where they couldn’t adapt it to make it seem as if they are there because of her, she is still forced down our throats with a couple of useless lines that lead to the end that would have been there even if she didn’t exist at all.
You know what? Screw canon parings in Hakuouki. All live forced yaoi parings and random parings. I’d rather ship Hijikata and the freaking plum tree than him and Chizuru. In fact, I ship Hijikata and Souji. Yes, I ship a yaoi paring and only Chizuru is to blame, really. I ship them every-freaking-where! I don’t care anymore, she annoyed me that much. My mind is made up and no one can change it. In fact, the Chizuru/anyone-in-the-Shinsengumi-and-anoyone-that-is-an-oni is more forced than what I ship
And Chizuru’s real paring is Itou (because I hate that character everywhere he appears. I hope the real one is burning in the deepest pit of hell) and they planned on causing a rip between Okita and Hijikata so they could date them, yes.
Chizuru's true paring no matter what anyone tells me
