- There are some (BIG) indirect hints about their relationship, though, especially in terms of hinting WHY the Ryuseitai juniors (including Midori) are so important in Chiaki and Kanata’s lives.

- If you’d like to know how Chiaki scouted Midori to the club and unit, this story covers it a little, as it’s set in the early spring timeline of their high school.
- The story isn’t focused on Ryuseitai, but it’s nonetheless a cute story that shows Chiaki’s enthusiasm to guide his juniors!
The moment I entered the school, Morisawa-senpai came to my classroom and yelled stuff like, ‘Ossu! My name is Morisawa Chiaki, and I’m the captain of the Basketball Club! Starting today, you’ll be joining us at the club! It’s nice to meet youuu~♪’…

- Chiaki joins a temporary unit called ‘Rain-bows’, with Jin as the leader. So it’s also an interesting look into how Chiaki is like when he isn’t acting as the leader of a unit! (Hint: that’s pretty important to Ryuseitai’s development as of 2023, thanks to Supervillain)

- Bonus points for Midori’s CG being related to Chiaki!
- The Chiaki and Midori mini talks are extra fun content that occasionally mention the two.

- One of Midori’s top most crucial stories to read, and gives insight on Midori’s feelings towards Chiaki.
- Although Chiaki doesn’t appear in this story, Midori THINKS he’s here as a dog and in the process, expresses some of his most honest feelings about Chiaki. It’s a short story to boot, so it wouldn’t take long to read!
- In my opinion, it’s one of the best stories to get an understanding of his character (his silliness, empathy, pettiness… it’s got it all!)
Morisawa-senpai, did you transform into a dog…?

- The sequel to Rainbow. Just like that story, this isn’t related to their relationship, but it’s nice supplementary material to learn more about Chiaki.
- Since Chiaki is only a 3* in this story, it’s not as crucial to read as Rainbow (unless you’re in the mood to learn about the reveal that Eichi and Chiaki met in a hospital when they were young… winkwink)

- Ryuseitai’s Repayment Festival story (i.e. graduation story). This is one of the most CRUCIAL stories to read for their relationship, and especially for Midori’s character development. It acts as the foundation of their development and character arcs in the next year (i.e ES!! Era)
- What’s more, the 5* pair is Midori and Chiaki, and their CGs match!
- Their mini talks are nice as extra content too!

- A post-graduation story that was written before Climax (the story that delves into Midori’s development). Despite that, it still gives nice insight into Midori’s potential post-graduation, and most of all, he’s talking about Chiaki here and there even though he doesn’t appear in the story.
- Keep in mind that it’s a tinsy bit outdated as this story was written before Enstars decided to create the agencies (i.e, ES!! Era).

- This story is fully voiced. The experience is greatly enhanced with the voice acting!
- The main story is obviously long, so I recommend reading at least the parts where Ryuseitai appears (especially where Midori or Chiaki do). It’s important to have a basic understanding of what happened to Ryuseitai in the main story, since it’s referenced a lot in their ES!! Era stories, and affects Midori and Chiaki’s actions/feelings throughout the year.
- Most of all, it’s a nice sneak peek of how Midori wants to grow and be reliable for Chiaki and Ryuseitai’s sake.
- Bonus: Their unbloomed CGs are related to each other!

Also available on the English version of Ensemble Stars!! Music
- As Ryuseitai continues to receive unfair treatment by reality, society, and their agency, Midori’s overflowing love for Ryuseitai makes him take a very drastic decision in order to keep them together…!
- Comet Show is the GO-TO story to read about Midori and Chiaki’s relationship, how far it’s come, and why it means so much to the two to stay as Ryuseitai together. It is also a must to read this story to understand the events that happen to Ryuseitai after Comet Show.
- Bonus: The event’s MV has a lot of sneaky moments of the two together, and their unbloomed CGs are related to each other!
- It is an ABSOLUTE MUST to read Midori’s mini talk from this event. His mini talk is also much more light-hearted than the story, so I 100% recommend it!
Yeah, how come you know everything ‘bout him? Do you regularly search for ‘Morisawa Chiaki’ online or somethin’?
Yeah, I do. What’s wrong with that…? I don’t actually care if he’s dead or alive, but I need to monitor him to see if he says anything bad about me, y’know…?

2022/9/30
Also available on the English version of Ensemble Stars!! Music
- This story is fully voiced. The experience is greatly enhanced with the voice acting!
- Note: This story is part of the 1.5 main story. However, Midori’s scenes have little to do with the overarching plot, so I personally think it’s okay to only read his (and Tetora’s) scenes if you prefer that.
- Shows the aftermath of the decision Midori made in Comet Show, as well as Midori’s feelings on it (Spoiler alert: he’s super depressed about it and feels like he didn’t succeed in saving his beloved unit.)
- This story is more focused on Midori and Tetora’s relationship, and explores their misunderstandings since Comet Show. It’s wonderful insight on Midori’s character and his mindset.
- Midori mentions Chiaki a few times in some important scenes as well!

- If you’re in need of healing and want something more fluffy from ES!! Era Year 1 stories, this is the story for it!

- Ryuseitai & Akatsuki’s SS story; it explores the aftermath of Comet Show and how it affected Ryuseitai, but also how they want to do what it takes to overcome their difficulties! There are fun moments between the two, but also angsty moments too.
- For more context on why Midori and Chiaki start to miscommunicate severely at around this point, I highly recommend reading Supervillain’s prologue, as it’s set before Submarine took place. (The rest of Supervillain gives even more context)
- I recommend Chiaki’s mini talks as well, though they too are a mixture of cute and angsty.

- The final story to the SS main story. Ryuseitai only appears in a few chapters (11 in total, and 5 of them are Chiaki only), and they (sort of) have a duel against Madara, an ex-Ryuseitai member.
- The main reason I recommend it is for Midori’s petty attitude when it comes to Subaru (like I said in Orihime and Hikoboshi, these three are pretty relevant to each other), and an indirect nod to Midori and Chiaki’s relationship.
- Note: The partial translation is a link to the scene mentioned above!

Not only is it a crucial Ryuseitai story, but it also explores how the decisions taken in Comet Show and Submarine have finally come to fruition.
- What’s more, the story is littered with important interactions between Midori and Chiaki, hinting that their relationship will continue to grow and develop in Ryuseitai stories set after this story.
- There’s more! The event’s MV fully highlights them as a duo, and this is further emphasized by the new formation: Midori and Chiaki are now side-by-side together in the new unit logo.

- This story is fully voiced. The experience is greatly enhanced with the voice acting!
- Pizza & Potato Fries is REAL! (Look at Chiaki’s bloomed CG to see what I mean!) This is part of the 3.0 main story, where idols participate in an audition!
- It’s also Chiaki’s first 5* ES 2nd year story, focused around him and everything to do with him. Although this story doesn’t come with a Midori card, Midori and Chiaki’s lives are so intertwined by this point, that it inevitably means Midori will be mentioned and shown a LOT!
- Not only is it a must to read, but it is a must to look at Chiaki’s new casual outfit, his unbloomed and bloomed CGs from this event, and more. Everything that these two shared between each other, everything Midori has done for Chiaki up until this point, led to many beautiful moments happening in this story.
- Please also consider reading through the translation note explaining nerdy references the two make in relation to each other, it has a lot of interesting things to think about ♪

- Ryuseitai event with Tetora as the leader! Despite the serious-looking faces they’re making, the story is very light-hearted and fun.
- Parts of the story are during the audition’s period (VS★GOURMET), so we get to see more of Midori reacting to the “stunt” Chiaki pulled during the audition.
- Midori and Chiaki’s moments here are fun and silly, and as always, Midori doesn’t stop mentioning Chiaki. They also have a moment together in the MV!
- I absolutely recommend reading Chiaki’s mini talk.

- Why is this dialogue important? Yume is on good terms with Midori and is sort of like a "junior" to Midori, shown in Yume's Idol Story 2. It looks like for this reason, Yume recognized Chiaki on their very first meeting!
- What's more… Chiaki and Yume IMMEDIATELY got along from their first meeting. I absolutely recommend reading this story, where Midori's senior and junior have nerdy chats together ♪
Yume knows you. Yume sometimes sees you with Midori-sama, after all.
Ahh, I’m so happy to hear that you know me~♪ Please do get along well with Takamine, too! ☆

- Chiaki is once again involved in the main story! And his very first scene is with Ryuseitai, with a heavy focus on Midori!
- Midori is anxious on the first day of live-streaming at Mega Sphere. Chiaki tries to get him used to the new environment by live-streaming as Ryuseitai together, but things don’t go as planned. This is an extremely short, but fun and important read for the two’s relationship!
- It is a must to read Chiaki’s mini talks! I also recommend reading the Mega Stream mini talks listed right before this story.
Heeey, Anzu! Have you seen Takamine anywhere!? He couldn’t accept the fact that we’ve been locked up in Mega Sphere, and ran off.
