Day 17 - Favorite Tsundere

Yuuko Amasawa (Isako) [Dennou Coil]

Tsunderes...not really a topic I dive into a lot. The tsundere character type has shifted over the years, but has generally solidified into a single character type that's almost always the same now. To the most part, other choices were Hinagiku Katsura, Yomi Isayama (she...sort of...counts), and Shiki Ryougi. Most of choosing Isako was her ultimate goal: to be reunited with her brother. Everything she did was to get herself closer to that goal, and she really came off as an ass to everyone that got in her way. The tsundere side comes from her relation with Yasako. She started out as a "don't get in my way" type, and slowly opened up to help. At the end she ends up becoming good friends with Yasako. It may not be a lovey lovey relation, but it's still tsundere.
