Tactics (manga)

: Suzu is an anime-only character. She is the younger sister of a wealthy girl, whose fiancé Kantarou helped to exorcise in the first episode. Suzu falls in love with Haruka at first sight. Conversely, she pretty much hates Kantarou at first sight. She becomes good friends with Youko and Rosalie and regularly visits the Ichinomiya household, and ends up accompanying them in their work. Eventually, she warms up to Kantarou too. She passed away on the day Haruka had a fight with Raiko in episode 24, because she had fragile health it was due to just a mild cold. Other than herself, her family, and Kantaro, no one was aware that she was dead as her ghost visited Kantaro's house for six months, eventually passing on to the other side after helping Kantarou and Haruka reconcile.

Dōjinshi

Sakura Kinoshita and Kazuko Higashiyama form a dōjinshi circle called Mad Cookie Monster. They individually go by the pseudonyms Wasabi Katsuo and Wasabi Maguro, respectively. This circle has released many dōjinshi for their own series, including "Tactics", some of them containing explicit yaoi pornography. One of the rarest and best known of these titles is "Love Sick", a 72-page dōjinshi containing an illustrated short novel and an explicit yaoi comic, featuring the pairing Haruka x Kantarou. Other dōjinshi based on "Tactics" are "El Principe", which features mild Haruka x Kantarou, and "Lil' Crazy", which features Raikou x Haruka.
