Drama CD original character Narashino [Sekirei No.74], who talks in Kansai-ben (Kansai dialect) - among other things, she uses the honorific suffix "-han" instead of "-san" - is not listed as one of the choices in the poll.

Since the release of the Sekirei drama CD on July 25, 2007, #1 Tsukiumi (273 votes 302 votes) has widened her lead over #2 Matsu (223 votes), followed by #3 Musubi (110 votes).

(At one point earlier this year, I seem to recall, Tsukiumi had between 255 and 260 votes, while Matsu had between 221 and 223 votes.)

Tsukiumi in the Sekirei drama CD reminds me of Suigintou in Rozen Maiden, Tomoe Marguerite in My-Otome, and Isabella in Soukou no Strain. In addition to all of them being voiced by Tanaka Rie, they all intensely dislike the main heroine in the story - Suigintou hates Shinku, Tomoe hates Arika, Isabella hates Sara, and Tsukiumi (sorta) hates Musubi.

While Suigintou and Tomoe suppress their anger most of the time, Tsukiumi has an extremely short temper and often explodes in fits of rage, yelling and screaming in the unique trademark fashion of Tanaka Rie.

Unlike the evil, crazy, psychopathic villain Tomoe, or the sad, pitiful, one-time villain Suigintou, or the mean, nasty, spiteful bitch Isabella, however, the seemingly always angry Tsukiumi acts tough, but (as someone else elsewhere has noted) is really just an innocent girl wanting to be loved.

In the Sunday, September 30, 2007 entry on her blog, Tanaka Rie indicates that she has landed a lot of regular roles in anime and will announce them later.

Will Tsukiumi in a Sekirei anime series be one of them?

According to an entry on MOON PHASE Miscellaneous Notes (MOON PHASE Zakki), Wednesday, December 20, 2007, Japan Time, the next series from YOUNG GANGAN seinen manga magazine, published by SQUARE ENIX, to be animated after Bamboo Blade appears to be a title with the "name of a bird" ("tori no namae").

The YOUNG GANGAN manga series with a "bird's name" is Sekirei.

"Sekirei" means wagtail in Japanese.

I think that, in all probability, the Sekirei anime cast will be more or less the same as the Sekirei drama CD cast listed above in my earlier post, with additional seiyuu for additional characters in the anime.

[mdauben]

I just recently "discovered" this manga and I'm finding it quite enjoyable. The artwork is very nice and the characters likable. Sure it's full of harem stereotypes, but the fights help give it a flavor of it's own and overall the story has enough substance to it to be interesting. Too bad this isn't licenced in the US. I'll be looking forward to more from the scanlation group.

[ellifeedn]

I read up to 50 ch. and from what I can tell Minato will have an elemental group. He already has water, wind, and wood(or is it plants?) and we see a fire one that hasn't been taken yet. I wonder if he is special in that he can take a sekirei from another person.

[masama]

I thought I would enjoy this but I lost interest quickly after a few chapters. Then I discovered that you can actually get bored of boobs if you see them too much and too often!

Spoiler for Fire Sekirei:

Isn't that guy who is changing into a girl something of a "fire" sekirei? He/She would seem the logical candidate to fill our Minato's "elemental" group.

I wonder if he is special in that he can take a sekirei from another person.

Spoiler for Seond Hand:

Wasn't the only "second hand" sekirei he bonded with Kazehana? I thought she said her original master was dead, didn't she? (Guess I need to go back and re-read the last few chapters)

[Sinta]

No she didn't bond, but she was in love with another guy. Minato was able to overcome that with his "warmth" whatever the hell that means.

Ah! I went back and re-read the last few chapters and you are right. I also read the new releases of 51-53 last night. More good stuff, with some new characters introduced (including Minato's Mom!).

[Bonta Kun]

all I can say is Minato is one extremely lucky son of a b****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he has amassed possible or most likely probably the most gorgeous harem I've come across!!!

usually I would praise the lad for doing such a job but this time jealously and envy have taken over!!!

oh and Ku-chwan is sooooo cute

[KiNA]

I now .. as to all Rie Tanaka's character .. lay claimed to Tsukiumi as mai waifu !

As well as Kazehana and Uzume and Matsu =3

[longshot]

lol one of the funniest stories i have ever read basically its from zero to hero only our buddy minato doesnt exactly comprehend his situation much.......lol now with 3 girls wanting to be his wife, 4 if you count little ku-chan growing up plus a 5th wanting to "experiment" on him makes you wonder how long will the harem grow before it stops

[KiNA]

Well... considering

Spoiler for latest chapter 55:

Its gonna be 6 in a few chapther

Who know, if and ashikabi suddenly can steal other sekirei's, :O

Still.. he already won since he got the best tsundere waifu ^.^ Tsukiumi <3

[nadare]

His harem is the most complete so far.

Spoiler:

list includes a loli, a F cup woman, a trap, a Tsundere, a Flirt, a Meganekko, a Genius, an airhead. The only thing missing is a meido I think.

[KiNA]

Mushubi already cosplaying as meido several time .. what he need is

Spoiler:

A miko scary miko to be exact

Altho that maybe wishing too far

[Sinta]

He needs number one....then and only then will his harem be complete
Lucky bass

[longshot]

by the way everytime i hear they say minato has "winged" another Sekirei does any1 else think it sounds kinda.....idk..........funny??

[Bonta Kun]

I tink find it more irritating than funny.....probably down to that fact I think

"DAMN YOU, YOU LUCKY BASTARD HOW MANY MORE YOU GONNA WING?!!"

to me, I have to say he has got himself one of the best harems...ever!!!
plus he's got his oh soo lovely imouto-chwan(with possible brother-complex) with her ever so extremely convincing trap
This series has got 2 of the most convincing traps I ever come across that I don't feel guilty when I look at em(yes yes I am very weird but it can't be helped as I am after all into the world of anime and manga) altho not sure ya can call 1 of em a trap, as certain changes make it all.....well very very confusing

can tell ya this if this ever gets animated I'll be there from start to finish, could possibly replace Ikki Tousen for sheer fanvice entertainment for me
also the drama CD cast I do think would be perfect for an anime

had a quick look on wiki and it says there are some rumors of a possible anime produced by ARMS!!! OMG SOOOO HOPE THEY AIN'T JUST RUMORS!!!!!

I've just read chapter 56 and anyone could have told you all that was writen on my face is A BIG WTF??!!.......I 'm at a loss for words really so(plus its bloody late) so I'll post later when I can come up with something.

[Mizuno]

No. 1 is the best girl in Sekirei, period. If he can wing her... damn that lucky sob.

Homura is a close second. They are the only girls without outrageous breast size.

[nadare]

^ I thought she was already considered as winged sekirei

Spoiler for last unwinged Sekirei:

From the way the MBI director said. Only one Sekirei is unwingged and that is Izumo the black Sekirei (No. 19).

[Bonta Kun]

ch57 is out

Spoiler for thoughts:

hhmm chances of Minato winging Homura are quite high, but gotta say bet ya Minato's bound to have some sort of nightmares if he does

about Miya, I'm not sure but does seem like she is winged from whats said so I'll just go along with that for now.

Homura = the most confusing.............I got nothing, nooo words whatsoever to describe Homura
