Oooo, you're on the "Hajime Retrieval" Arc of the story! I sort of wanted to do something specific, so I started writing that arc. Also, I'm happy you enjoyed Hiyoko! Though, when I do the rewrite, I may replace Hiyoko with Monaca to be more accurate to Persona 4 (and Hiyoko is in Hajime's class), plus in this story Monaca would get the happy ending she wanted. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

YASS I AMMM!! IT'S SO INTERESTING, I loved Hiyoko in this so much you don't understand!!<33 OOOOO Adding Monaca to replace her would actually be so cool, like I despised her in my playthrough but she was still so interesting, one of my favourite antagonists now, OMG HAPPY MONACA I'M CRYING I DON'T LIKE WHAT SHE DID BUT I STILL WANT HER TO BE HAPPY 😭😭

If there was a similar situation with Kaede, it could be a really pivotal friendship moment for all of them. Nagito being convinced he's found proof that the mastermind is cheating, and challenging Monokuma to a class trial to prove it. To which Monokuma replies that if they go through with it and he fails, the penalty will be the death of not just himself, but the entire class.

This makes Nagito falter for a moment, and look to them. Not sure if he has the right to make that call. Only for Mahiru, Gundham, and Sonia to step forward and say that regardless of whether or not he wins or loses, they're gonna stand with him on this. Mikan, Hiyoko, and Kazuichi follow, deciding they're tired of the Killing Game. And that if they do end up dying here, they'd rather go out united as a class.

The way Nagito discovers evidence of a Kaede-like situation could parallel Makoto's Chapter 5. With Nagito being framed for Imposter's death (they could have discovered something important and been killed), and being put through an execution that fails due to his luck. Leading to him falling down to some location where there's evidence of some kind of cover-up. Only in this AU, the execution could also parallel his life in the main verse. With him losing his left arm in the process of narrowly escaping.

Could make it extra funny when he crawls his way back up, walks into the cafeteria, and is all like "Heeeere's Johnny!" when revealing himself to the others. Who all start screaming and going WTF. After a few seconds of silent staring, he's just like "S-surprise. Not dead, guys.". Before finally he just falls over comically, having fainted from the blood loss. Mikan has to scramble to properly treat the wound.

THIS IS SO GOOD, oh no he falters- YAYYY THEY GOT HIS BACK WE LOVE YOU GUYS YOU'RE AWESOME, YASS THOSE GUYS TOOO, CLASS UNITE AGHH, I really like them supporting him for once :D, OH EM GEE THAT COULD WORK SO WELL, Ooooo that's an interesting look at it, AHAHAHAHAHAHAH THEY'D BE LIKE BRUH YOU WERE DEAD AHHHH OR SOMETHING, Kazuichi would be the loudest screamer and I love him for that, AHAHAHHAHA he falls over ( kind of like that scene in chapter 3 ) and Mikan would freak out and attend to the wound, this scenario is both silly and amazing- thanks for sharing this with me my favourite anon 💞💞

Sorry if this is out of nowhere, but in P4+D2, who are you favorite characters/character dynamics?

Tsumugi and Chiaki have a nice dynamic to me :)) The cosplay kid and the gamer kid would definitely get along so well hehe, Sato and Nagito have to also be one of my favourites, this isn't a relationship but I really like how you wrote Hiyoko, she's still got the sass and I love her for it<33 And I love the whole Hajime getting brainwashed or the NWP or how it adds to the lore!! And I got a lil carried away again, Heyyy don't apologise it's okay to leave an ask hehe, but I really love the whole thing so far!! 🩷🩷

I can't remember exactly where I found it. But there was one concept for a class swap similar to that one I mentioned somewhere on this site. It was more focused on the Despair Class 78. But I was immediately interested when it had the idea to make Nagito the protagonist. Since in most other class swaps, it's typically either Chiaki or Hajime. I feel like you could do a really fun character arc with that premise.

I believe the other survivors were Mahiru, Gundham, Sonia, Kazuichi, Mikan, and Hiyoko. Could imagine lots of fun friendship/shipping stuff with that group. As well as some tragic potential with deceased classmates like Chiaki and Imposter.

I don't think the outline I saw had ironed out all the details of the THH scenario. So I adopted my own headcanons. Like Class 77 retaining memories of the first year, since they're older and it'd be harder to cover up the amnesia (especially with Hiyoko's growth spurt). As well as stuff like Imposter being the last one to die, and bonding scenes with them makes their death hit Nagito much harder. Also mused about the idea of Chiaki being the blackened in a similar way to Kaede. The mastermind realizing that the retained memories of the first year means Chiaki has to be eliminated and discredited early on, because Class 77 are a lot less willing to participate in the Killing Game in this AU.

MIKAN BEING A SURVIVOR WOULD BE AMAZING ( I know they all survived at the end of the anime but that's a long time later and this group would be adorable ) Mahiru would be so kind to them and take care of the others I love her so much, I think I heard that Hiyoko was originally supposed to be a survivor which would've also been cool, GUNDHAM TANAKA WE LOVE YOUUU, him and Sonia would get along well and Kazuichi would be like >:0 or something lol it's okay we still love you Souda, Mahiru and Hiyoko would also bond, and maybe Mahiru could help out Mikan a bit or a girls night with them or they can all have sleepovers and take care of one another and-

Hehehe I got a lil carried away, I just love survivor groups, they're so wholesome and a found family, but I think Gundham and Mikan could get along well because he's a softie deep down and we love Tanaka!! 💖💖 IMPOSTER BEING THE LAST TO DIE NOOOO WE LOVED YOU BRUH!! They deserve the world!! It would, so much angst and hurt HAHAHAHH I LOVE IT!! *evil laughter lol* >:)

OMG THAT'S GENIUS LIKE A SIMILAR SITUATION TO KAEDE NOT ACTUALLY BEING THE BLACKENED, The similarities!! :00 that's a genius idea, her dying earlier on when they retain their memories, this can work so well!!!! Chiaki you were amazing, and also she deserved better, she slayed so hard they decided to kill best girl twice, but I love the idea of her having a Kaede role <33

Nagitos of all kinds pop up in the gathering. Nagitos from non-Despair verses, AUs, gender-flipped Nagitos, even a small handful of Nagizurus/Kamukura Nagitos. Like the Komahina club for example will have some FemNagitos that are in yuri Komahina relationships (or FemNagito x Hajime, Nagito x FemHajime, or even non-binary Komahina).

And of course the Nagitos from verses with a version of the Tragedy compare notes with those from non-Despair verses. The Komaegi Nagitos from non-Despair verses feel so vindicated learning from their counterparts that their boyfriend became the Ultimate Hope in other universes, being like "I KNEW MAKOTO WAS SPECIAL!". The Komaegi Nagitos and Matsukoma Nagitos in general are a wee bit braggadocious about having won the love of Makoto and Yasuke. And take pride in having some exclusivity.

Though things get really funny when they learn how things went in class swap verses (where Chiaki, Hajime, or even Nagito himself became the THH scenario's protagonist). And are shown footage of Despair Makoto. They all start fanning themselves and going "Oh my!" because of just how very...captivating he is. Especially if there's some foe yay going on between Despair Makoto and Protagonist Nagito.

Most of the clubs have their own variant of "Octagon!". Like with those prior three, the Kuzukoma Nagitos giggle at the thought of Fuyuhiko being grumpy and shouting "Dumbass!". The Komazumi Nagitos get all dreamy at the idea of Mahiru with her hands on her hips and going "Geez!". And the Twokoma Nagitos are like "Does your Imposter wag their finger and say 'Nagito, no' to you too?", to which they're like "YES, LMAO!!"

The Komahinanatsusatozumi Nagito we talked about earlier is like a weird celebrity among them. Most polyship Nagitos will usually only be in a relationship with two people. Some Komahinanami Nagito will see him brandishing his Komahina, Komazumi, Natsukoma, and Komasato membership cards and be all...

"Gee Nagito, how come you get to have four relationships?"

"Six. Getting the paperwork for my Matsukoma and Kuzukoma memberships sorted out."

"Does the Natsumi in your universe know about you and her brother?"

"Yeah, she doesn't mind. After seeing so many universes with a Tragedy I'm only more certain now than ever that what we have is wonderful."

"Well, at least I know you'll never get to experience the joy of being a Komanami Nagito."

"Actually our verse's Chiaki and her girlfriend Mikan are thinking of joining our polycule. Sato invited Mikan."

"...Dammit."

OMG DESPAIR FREE VERSES, AJSBSJSJN Gender flipped Nagito!!!! That's so cool AHHHH YURI KMHN MY BELOVED, ooooo enby kmhn I need more of themmm BRUH THIS IS SO COOL, "I KNEW MAKOTO WAS SPECIAL" GAHHH MY HEART 💞💞 This is so amazing I don't know what to say!! Hahahha braggy Maeda, he would do that ehee OMG HIM AS THE PROTAG OOOOO THAT'S SOMETHINH WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED BUT DESERVE, hahahah how very captivating, just say you love him you dang poet hehe, there would beee!!

Haahhahah kzkm's one is accurate, MAHIRU WOULD, I CAN IMAGINE THEM DOING THAT LOL IMPOSTER WE LOVE YOU, well wow Nagito you went from a hopless romantic to having 4 people in a loving poly, LOOK AT YOU GOO!!<33 Six!! Tell him my guy, YEP Natsumi wouldn't mind!! Maybe they'd fight over him sometimes because aggressive blondes haha but it would be chill with her, YEAH NANAMIKI RIGHTS!!!! THEY GONNA BE THE BEST POLY EVER AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD OR SOMETHING I DUNNO I'M JUST HAPPY TO SEE HIM BE LOVED!! 💕💕 hahahah the remark though-

Actually there's something goofy I came up with that I sent to theamityelf and Fala in asks that I thought I should share. A Komaedaverse gathering where it's revealed that there's at least one universe for every Nagito ship. And the Nagitos at the gathering form clubs with other Nagitos who are also in a relationship with their respective partner. Where they gush about how much they adore them.

For obvious reasons the joint Komahina + Kamukoma club is the largest. With even some of the other clubs' Nagitos being granted honorary membership (since it's hard to find a Nagito that doesn't crush on a Hajime even just a little). There's nothing that'll make a whole bunch of Nagitos start giggling like schoolgirls like shouting out the word "Octagon". But you've got others like the Komaegi club, the Komanami club, the Matsukoma club, the Komamiki club, clubs dedicated to those three rarepairs I mentioned in the other asks, and many others. And of course Nagitos in other polyships can have their own multi-memberships.

They all like to gush about ways their respective partners will show affection. Take those three when it comes to kissing for example. Fuyuhiko will sometimes shut Nagito up by grabbing him by the collar and pulling him in for a kiss on the lips. It leaves Nagito a blushing mess. Imposter will put him on their lap, wrap their arms around him, and give a comforting kiss on the forehead. Which just makes him melt in Imposter's arms. Mahiru likes to do surprise kisses by approaching from behind, wrapping her arms around his waist, and kissing him on the cheek. Some Nagitos eventually get the courage to return the favor to their Mahiru. After which they get flustered and apologetic, being all like "Oh no, was that too much?". Only for Mahiru to assure him she likes this newfound confidence after getting over the surprise.

Though it's not always peaceful. Occasionally little fights break out between the Nagitos in regards to certain partners. The Komamiki club is made up of fiercely loyal Nagitos who are ready to throw hands with the "Mikan-skeptical" Nagitos of the multiverse, that are all like "What do you see in her, dude?". And of course the Junkomaeda club is super-controversial.

OOOO THIS IS SO SILLY I LOVE IT 😭😭 IT IS HARD TO FIND A NAGITO THAT DOESN'T LIKE HAJIME EVEN A LITTLE, LIKE BRO WAS INLOVE FOR 3 CHAPTERS AND STILL OBSESSED WITH HIM EVEN AFTER HE FOUND OUT HE WAS TALENTLESS HE AIN'T FOOLING NOBODY- hehe the octagon reference, yayyy the Komaegi and Konanami club :0 honestly every Komaeda ship is adorable!! He'd work so well with lots of people, the Matsukoma club!! AHHHHH ohhh the Komamiki club (my two babies, yes I adopted them keep scrolling) YAYY THE POLYSHIPS LESGGOO

AOSKSOSIJS THAT'S SO CUTE I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE IT, AHHHHHH IMPOSTER WOULD BE SO NICE TO HIM, And the way they kiss is just so cute, Twokoma is underated honestly!! Like the way imposter still moved him out of the way under the table and protected him from dying made me close to tears at my playthrough- MAHIRU WITH SURPRISE KISSES AGHHH I LOVE HER SO MUCH, SHE WOULD!! This is giving me diabetes in a good way 🩷🩷 oh sheet the fights hahah, YEAH DEFEND MIKAN WE LOVE HER SHE'S AN ANGEL ( Me the and the Mikan defense squad lol ) ahsjjzjzja the Jnkm's are maybe a bit controversial eheh ( NO OFFENSE TO TYE SHIPPERS ) Thanks for sharing this with me my favourite anon!!!! This is so cute HOW DO YOU GET THE MOST ADORABLE IDEAS- BE A WRITER!!!!<33

😭 Precious sketches, all of them! Thank you, aeymii!

NO THANK YOU ANON YOU'RE LITERALLY THE NICEST!! 😭😭

Actually maybe I could share some mental images I have for those Nagi rarepairs?

Kuzukoma:

Nagito and Peko taking great amusement in playfully teasing Fuyuhiko together. His bodyguard/childhood friend and boyfriend turn out to be quite chipper around each other. And will get into some zany misadventures to protect Fuyuhiko from things that they assume are threats. The end results usually leave Fuyuhiko holding his face in his hands in disbelief. But he just can't hold it against the two. Especially when Nagito pecks him on the cheek.

Komazumi:

Nagito never imagined he could enter a loving relationship with an Ultimate. But what surprised him even more...is just how comfortable and at peace he feels with the relative normality Mahiru offers. The simple act of doing household chores together feels gratifying to the both of them. Mahiru loves having a partner she can rely on to pitch in. And for Nagito these moments provide a sense of stability and tranquility. It's a mutually caring relationship where each of them are constantly trying to make sure the other isn't fatigued or overworked. Like Nagito will be all "Mahiru-san doesn't have to do any work today!" on her birthday, which she plays along with for a smile. But she'll step in and assists after a few hours when it's clear he's starting to feel a bit tired. And Mahiru is slowly making progress in selling Nagito on the idea that he is an equal partner.

Twokoma:

Nagito actually manages to figure out that Imposter is not who they say they are early on. After carefully observing the animation work of "Ryota Mitarai", and realizing that while the stuff "he" does in class is decent, there's a noticeable quality gap between that and the animation brought in from "his" dorm. As well as discovering from older photos that Ryota Mitarai was supposed to be very skinny less than a year before Hope's Peak. It leads to Nagito confronting Imposter, fearing for the safety of the real Ultimate Animator. Only for Nagito to perk up immediately upon learning that he's discovered a secret Ultimate with an incredible talent. He agrees to keep it a secret to a grateful Imposter (who was relieved the confrontation came from a place of concern for Ryota). And that leads to the beginnings of a close relationship, with Nagito eagerly agreeing to help Imposter with their "Nagito Komaeda" impersonation. Which is quite good, although Imposter can't convincingly replicate Nagito's bizarre luck. Which they actually use to make a "See, there is something quite special about you" point to a protesting Nagito.

ASJFYJSJW these are so cute AHHH, I love all of them, the Komazumi is so adorable, the Twokoma is chef's kiss and I love the Kuzukoma one too!! WHY ARE YOU AMAZING AT THIS ANON YOU KNOW WHAT, A good idea deserves some sketches!! 💕💕 Also I tried to draw the others but I got a lil lazy.. but to make up for them I drew something at the end

Oh wow, lol! Dove right into that comic recommendation, to the point of talking with the author. Glad you're having fun with it.

Hehe it was so interesting!!<33 thanks for the recommendation my favourite anon :))

Thank you again for the kind words and compliments. If you don't mind me asking, what's your favorite chapter from what you've read?

I can't choose there's so many good chapters!! But if I had to pick a few favorites it would have to be Izuru siding with Junko, and the other Nagito and Sato chapters because I love those two alot!! :))

And the new killing game one where we met the whole cast (v3 + 2) I really like how you wrote Tsumugi and gave her more personality, oh and how you wrote her interactions with Chiaki 💕💕

Dear aeymii,

I am the author of the P4 + D2 comic on Reddit. I would like to say thank you for taking an interest in the comic. Once I'm done with the entire comic, I'll probably give it a rewrite on...A03, assuming that's where things go.

However, I must admit, I could have done more character dynamic build up (I'm trying to get the story done at this point and focus on the character building later), and I may shift some characters around (I don't want to give away too much of the story so far, but i feel like i played into a specific personality of a character a bit too much and I'd like to change that)

But other than that, I am very happy you took an interest in it and hope you like what parts you read, though admittedly the specific Nagito and Sato chapter is a few chapters back.

From, Kame.

P.S, I promise there's a lore reason to everything as I've gotten in the habit of making things up but making them story "relevant". This includes the amnesiac Sato and the Nagito and Sato in a cult part

AHHHHHH THE KAME IS TALKING TO MEEE?!?! :0 I feel honoured, I love your comic so far!! I'm already hooked, OMG I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO AN AO3 REWRITE ( If you ever feel like making one ehehe)

Personally I think everything is amazing, the way you write them all in character and the dynamics it reminds me a bit of my favourite writers work, which filled me up with nostalgia and it's honestly amazing, yeah there's a few flaws here and there but it's really minor and the plot is way more interesting and the lore is so good!!, I'm so happy you reached out to me I think I'll go cry now :))

Last ask, and this is a wee bit indulgent. But would you ever feel in the mood to draw stuff like those Nagito rarepairs/polyships or platonic friendships the fandom sleeps on? Lots of fun potential with Natsumi and Sato. Him and Fuyuhiko can be very cute, and I love this one headcanon where Nagito's imaginary Fuyuhiko is noticeably taller than the real thing. Nagito and Mahiru can also be very cute (he just vibes well with tsunderes in general), and I like to imagine there'd be a lot of mutual affectionate caretaking. I think he also has a fair bit of potential with Imposter too.

I'd love too!! He deserves having some friendships like him and Ibuki (something I'm working on hehe) and polyships/rarepairs!! They deserve more appreciation and multishipper me is going to give him that, ahh he and imposter would be so cute too, personally kmhn/tpg is my favourite but these ships are also ADORABLE!! Him and Mahiru is also nice and you can give me an ask whenever you like anon<3 🤍🩷

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I really love your art. All of your work is so cute! The animation of TPG walking together was so so so cute, it made me cry (sorry, I'm a little crazy fan who likes them too much awhuifgfjkdj). I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the future! <3

AHHHHHH I FEEL SO HONORED 💞💞 Why are people so kind on this site?!?! IT DID OMG I LOVE THEM TOO, TPG is just so wholesome (platonic or romantic or a secret third thing that blurs the line eheheh) That's so kind of you I'm tearing up right now haha

I remember now. The comic with Nagito and Sato was called P4 + D2 by Kamekameha7 on the Danganronpa subreddit.

Say no more, imma go read!! :D also thanks again for the asks anon, it made my day 💖💕

I believe the first fic was one called Paper and Steel. An ongoing FuyuPeko fic that has some neat Fuyuhiko + Nagito quasi-friend interactions. Which is doubly fun for me, as Kuzukoma is actually one of my fondest ships for both characters. He reveals to Fuyuhiko that he actually requested a withdrawal and transfer from Principal Kirigiri so that Natsumi could take his place. There's also one fairly recent Nagito x Natsumi one-shot I came across, where he goes to her funeral with Fuyuhiko.

The other one was an ongoing Persona AU comic on Reddit. I can't remember the exact name. But yeah, it had Nagito and an amnesiac Sato end up in a cult that worships talent. Where they end up developing a kind of sibling bond, with Sato as Nagito's only real friend. A big turning point for both characters is when they finally defy the cult leader and leave together.

Tbh...I actually can't help but fantasize about Komahinatsumi and Komasatozumi AUs as well. Since I'm also a fan of Komahina, Hinatsumi, Komazumi, and Satozumi. Maybe Nagito would be platonic with Natsumi and Sato, or maybe it'd be romantic, who knows lol. Or wait...a Komahinanatsusatozumi verse! In which somehow that cheeky shit becomes the unifying cog-piece in a complex five-way relationship that prevents the Twilight Syndrome incident...And he may also be having some flings with Natsumi's brother on the side. Yasuke can join in too.

Paper and Steel got it!! I definitely have to give that a try soon, AHHHH IT HAS FUYUPEKO MY BABIESSSS ehehehhe that sounds adorable Kuzukoma is cute too!! AWW HE DID THAT'S SO NICE OF HIM FUYUHIKO WE LOVE YOU BOI!! The last one looks angsty!! I live for angst haha

Oh my gawd I love the idea of Nagito and Sato being a found family, defying the cult leader and leaving together?!?! AHHHH THAT'S SOUNDS SO GOOD HOW DO PEOPLE WRITE SO WELL!!

KOMAHINANATSUSATOZUMI SUPREMACY PEOPLE‼️‼️ They should all just poly it out, YEAH yasuke should!! And a Nagito having a few flings with Fuyuhiko hehe poly ships are just so adorable and would you look at that it prevented a murder too!!💞💞

That new art piece reminded me. I think the fandom sleeps on potentially interesting relationships that could be explored between Nagito and Natsumi or Nagito and Sato. Like I've seen a couple of interesting fics where he feels more drawn to the former than other Reserve Course students. Seeing her as a potential "diamond-in-the-rough" that he believes might be Ultimate quality, and thinking she should replace him. And also because he feels Class 77 would be all the more stronger for a Kuzuryuu sibling team. Meanwhile with Sato, their mindsets are eerily similar to each other. I've seen one interesting AU where they have a kind of sibling dynamic after getting roped into a talent-worshipping cult.

EXACTLY!! like we could've gotten some interesting dynamics, ooooh that fic sounds amazing though!!<33 I could definitely imagine him thinking they have potential talent and like "Wait this reserve actually seems talented??" :0 or something hehe, YASS THEY ARE THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS- SATO AND NAGITO HAVE SIMILAR MINDSETS, I kept thinking of the parallels during my watch, SIBLING DYNAMIC THATS SO COOL LIKE WE WERE ROBBED OF THEIR INTERACTIONS, Talent worshipping cult OMG

heeey uh I just wanted to say that I love your art and I really wish I could draw like you also I realized that we like a lot of the same fandoms so that’s cool! Uh keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see some more of your art :3

-@spideyboiiiiiii

Hsgshsihwgwtisbsf thank you sm!!!!!!!

I love finding people who are in the same fandoms as me, I'm so glad you like my art! I saw your art on your profile, and it's really good too, so don't put yourself down like that! I hope you have awesome day/night :)
