Some characters lack talent, a fervent passion or self-knowledge, but...
LOLI OF THE DAY
Nene Sakura (New Game!)
A heroine for those who have grown up but lack purpose in life, as they drift like a sailing boat pushed by the wind.
Nene is the best friend of Aoba Suzukaze, the protagonist of the series. Both of them graduate from school and take different paths: Aoba joins a game company as an artist, whereas Nene enters university. She enjoys campus life, keeps her otaku routine without any worries and attends lectures like a normal continuation of high school. She is quite self-centered, so her usual whims and attachment to Aoba guide her idle time to play around and being goofy with Aoba when they meet up.
At some point, when she can't hang out with Aoba that frequently, university starts feeling tedious and this idleness annoys her, she gets a chance to become involved with Aoba's company. This experience feels awarding for her, which pushes her to search for that something she's missing, something she can do instead of remaining as the shadow of Aoba. She also discovers she has no strong points nor skills that could make her as remarkable of Aoba. That's when she bumps up with something even her can do: learning programming. She's neither good or bad at it, but she's determined to study it (in addition to her university itinerary) and she will keep at it, through trial and error.
Started in 2013 and with a total of 13 volumes, New Game! is a story centered in a workplace where the protagonist will grow and meet a large cast of characters. Rare is the character in this story that ends being the same as it started, everyone effort and personality will shape the progress of this slice of life comedy. Published by none other than Manga Time Kirara, the 4-koma doesn't stop the series from becoming engaging or fresh at every chapter. Later, by 2016 we had the pleasure to have the first season of the anime adaptation, followed by an OVA and the second season in 2017. This time around, the adaptation wasn't conclusive but helped us discover this fantastic series that we could look forward to see continue every week.
You may be wondering, why this character but not the protagonist, who also fits the bill to be qualified as loli? The answer is simple: Nene makes you fall in love with her the longest the story goes, moving from being a bratty student to a full-developed character that stands in its own feet. For many years, Shoutarou Tokunou used her as her profile picture in social media whereas he has always used her mascot (a hedgedog) for any afterwords or interviews from the beginning. Nowadays he has Mimisuke on social media, the main character of Idol x Idol Story, another hit everybody should read and may also be able to watch in the future! Another two great lolis await in there. Surely, we will get it, right?
Don't forget to do your homework and check this series! See you tomorrow with another unforgettable character!
