I'm
still mostly on the Touma and Misaka bandwagon for this series, but that
doesn't stop me from being interested in the other beta couples portrayed here.
I don't actively ship Accelerator and Last Order but I can't deny their charm.
In fact, this doujin uses the latter pairing's brand of chemistry as its
selling point. And, honestly, I'm sold.
The
setting is a simple slice-of-life scenario between our two leads. No plot to
speak of, no outright danger to fight against, and none of Aleister's plans
that needs to be derailed.
Just a snotty little punk, a hyperactive little
girl, and sharing a scarf in cold weather.
Accelerator
gives us a rare example of a male tsudenre character, if his actions are
anything to go by. Mostly he acts like a jerk, then he gives us a glimpse of
his heart of gold. Just don't mind the child abuse. That's how he shows he
cares.
Aww. Humbug.
Last
Order, like always, is just a little ball of sunshine. And she's all it takes
to convince Accelerator to turn around do whatever she wants him to do. And in
this case, it's to try making dinner.
Key
word here is try.
This
doujin does a good job in showing us just how cute and heartwarming this
pairing is. Which, compared to any relationship the actual hero of the series
is having, at least this one has some actual canon development and is more
likely to have more resolution.
If
only Accelerator stops acting embarrassed.
Also,
this doujin seemed to be part of a series made by the author, but only this issue and one other
had been translated into English. I'll cover the other translated doujin soon
right after this.
