: So, what are we doing in Wisconsin, we only just got back from Britain
Actually, given my release schedule, it has probably been at least two weeks since then. We’re visiting an assistant of a friend, it’s about time I blogged them.

: The entity referred to as Ririchiyo Shirakiin has already been blogged, and you are as of yet unfamiliar with the home universe of Ekaterina Kurae.
That’s because I’m blogging Topaz’s other assistant. Don’t think I forgot about her.

: Good morning, Nipah! *switches to her serious voice* If you’re trying to sell me something, whatever it is, I’m not buying!
![]()
: He’s not a door-to-door salesman, he’s Empry’s friend!
![]()
: How can he be Topaz’s friend, he looks nothing like Onii-sama!
![]()
: He’s not, this is Spartan 119, don’t you remember him from the 2017 guest blogs? He also did a blog about Riri recently.
Nice to finally meet you, Kimiko and you too, Rika, I’ve heard a lot about you from Topaz.
![]()
: Nice to meet you too, I am a big fan of your blogs!
![]()
: Mostly for the fanservice I bet!
![]()
: Nothing wrong with that!
![]()
: But if you’re looking for Topaz, I’m afraid he’s out of town and going to be away for a while, something about a tournament arc.
That’s OK, because today’s blog is on:
Hair: Rika has blue hair that reaches about to her mid-back in a hime cut which looks very good on her and matches her eyes very well as described below.
Score: 10/10
Eyes: Rika’s eyes are a dark purple that matches perfectly with her hair.
Score: 10/10
![]()
: Two perfect scores. Pachi Pachi nano desu!
Body: Rika is not a character I perv on, as I am not a Zettai… I mean lolicon…
![]()
: Stop making fun of Onii-sama
![]()
: I assure you he had no malicious intent.
That means this section won’t be analyzed like some other characters or score as highly. Still, I can’t deny that she is very cute with her small frame, and this scores OK here. Sadly, she also shows breast envy which is another problem.
Score: 6/10
Butt: Rika has the occasional ass shot, most notably an incident where she uses her ass to clean a window in the Kira OVA. That being, I do not perv on Rika and did not care much for any of the gag OVAs, so her score is limited by this.
Score: 5.5/10
Age: Rika is physically 10 or 11, however, because of her repeating timelines, she is mentally at least 110. That being said, I unlike some other lolihags, perhaps because of how I got to know her, I still see Rika as a child. Sure she’s cute, but she’s really not ideal for my tastes. Sorry, Rika.
Also, she was born on August 21st.
Score: 4/10

: Let me guess, it’s because of my lack of…
I assure you it has nothing to do with that.

: Don’t believe him? Just looks at Yuki! *points out Yuki’s flat chest*
Clothing: Rika has a good collection of outfits, the most well known her most well-known being her white and black school uniform, light green summer dress, and her miko outfit. She also appears in a gym uniform, multiple casual outfits, a swimsuit, a cat costume, a maid costume, a yukata, and a magical girl costume.
Score: 8/10
Personality: Rika scores very highly here. On the surface, she has a personality fitting with her child-like exterior, with her cheerful demeanor and kind personality, as well as her habit of using cute sounds or phrases at the end of her sentences, most notably “nipah”, “mii”, and “nano desu”. Rika also, however, had a second secret personality, a result of her having spent over 100 years repeating her life, only to die and restart over again. This older Rika is much more serious and sometimes has a darker outlook on life. Part of Rika’s secret mature personality is that she enjoys eating spicy foods and even drinking alcohol, much to the dislike of Hanyuu
Oh yeah, she is, for most of the series, the only one who can see Hanyuu, the ghost of one of Rika’s ancestors, but has a loli appearance like Rika. Hanyuu guides Rika from one reincarnation to the next. As such, Rika is Hanyuu’s only friend. Hanyuu’s senses are linked with Rika’s, something Rika takes advantage of, drinking alcohol, which Hanyuu dislikes, when Hanyuu annoys her.

: Hau au au… They’re talking about me now!?
Oh, Hi Hanyuu, and of course, you are an important part of Rika’s story after all.
![]()
: You can see me!?
![]()
: Blame Yuki’s plothax on that one!
Overall, Rika, with her dual personality makes her an interesting and likeable character and thus scores top marks here.
Score: 10/10
Libido: Rika doesn’t show much of this, which makes sense with her being only ten years old physically. She is also not a character I ship, though Keiichi sometimes shows lolicon tendencies, albeit mostly as a gag, and is also sometimes shipped by fans with Hanyuu or Satoko. Sadly, she also shows breast envy towards some of the older girls.
Score: 5/10

: Onii-sama taught me why I shouldn’t concern myself with that.
Reception: In terms of MAL likes, Rika has over 4500 favorites, the second best in her series after Rena, and has over 4500 images on Pixiv as well, coincidentally. Rika also is a major character and the main character of some arcs, but does not crowd out the others. Overall, she scores perfectly here.
Score: 10/10
Voice: Rika is voice by Yukari Tamura, who does an excellent job with both her outer “cute” side, including her catch phrases like “Nipah” and “Nano desu”, as well as her inner “serious” voice that she rarely shows.
Score: 10/10
Final Score: 78.5 - Very Good

: Wait a minute, is that it?! Where’s the fanservice!?
![]()
: I think you’ve had quite enough fanservice, especially considering that former blog villain servant did lewd things with both you and Topaz!
Wait, you mean Rider or Semiramis?
![]()
: You want fanservice? *puts on a pair of glasses and immediately gets into a white button-down shirt and panties, before walking over the Kimiko and pushing her against the couch* How’s this!?
![]()
: HOLY GLASSES!!! *gets a nosebleed*
Well, I’m not going to interrupt the fanservice, so see you whenever the next blog comes out.
