Round 700
The end of 2023 is fast approaching and Slowhand’s been bugging me to get in my final post of the game, so here goes.
I’ll begin with my final gift. I’ve noticed that Psychopuppet is very fond of Nyaruko, from Nyaruko: Crawling With Love (or Another Crawling Chaos,) so I have decided to give her to him. Treat her well… or else…

Now, I’ll take a point of personal privilege and post my final, long-delayed claims. I’ll start with a trio from the BanG Dream! Franchise: Mio Serizawa, Shino Kogani, and Serina Yamase, known as the idol group ViVidCanvas (a junior group of PastelPalettes*.)
Next, I’ll do two rescue claims: Tamaba Satori from Armed Girl’s Machienevalism:

and Gold Ship from Uma Musume:
My final claim for the game is a character from an anime series I’ve just learned about and will go back and watch. The anime is Warlords of Sigrdrifa and the bishie is Azuzu Komagome, the former de facto leader of the 909th Squadron.
Now, for my final thoughts. There was no way I could imagine, back in March of 2010, that I would still be doing this in December of 2023! What a long, strange trip, it’s been (to borrow a line from Robert Hunter.) I’ve had fun along the way and I hope you have, too.
As for how I’m leaving this iteration of Claim Your Bishoujo/Bishounen!? It’s done. Over. Complete. If someone wants to assume the title and the mantle of the game and game master, be my guest; but just as I respected Mystic’s work and made the game my own, I hope anyone that follows does the same.
And with this, I declare Claim Your Bishoujo/Bishounen! The Reboot/The Sequel! officially closed.
