I now know who it is but just checked rules and cannot guess again. Confused

Hint 1: spoiler[This anime is set during the Taishō era.]
Hint 2: spoiler[She is arranged to marry an army lieutenant, but is initially opposed to the marriage.]
Hint 3: spoiler[While this anime is fairly recent, it was adapted from a manga from the 1970s, which also had a TV adaptation in the 70s.]

I always try to make sure I'm confident in my answer before guessing, though sometimes I spend a little too long. Anyway, hopefully someone else can figure out the answer with one more hint.

Honestly, I didn't even see the first hint before I posted even though it was there first, I think I had an old screen up since I was busy doing other things and didn't refresh it or notice the hint until later, if I HAD noticed it first, I wouldn't have guessed what I did first. I also didn't realize at the time I could make only one guess though. Anime cry

Well, I don't think we want one person to just guess over and over again, which is why we limit it to one guess.

Anyway, there is a little over an hour left on the image. I always make my last hint something easy to look up, so I've never had an image go unguessed yet, but this is looking like it might be the first time.

Well, the image wasn't successfully guessed in time, so the turn is open. The answer was spoiler[Benio Hanamura from Haikara-San: Here Comes Miss Modern Part 1].

So, is anyone else here other than me and bonbonsrus? If so, does anyone want to post an image? I know we've only had about 6 players recently, but I was hoping that was enough for the game to continue.

Hint #1 spoiler[This character is a Capricorn. Just kidding! Well, apparently he is, but that isn't the hint and wouldn't normally be known outside of specifically searching his character.
Anyway, he is a support character, both in terms of being seen in the series and his character is there to provide support for the main character.]


spoiler[Also, I hate using spoilers for the hints, I think they are pointless]

I knew I had seen this, but I wasn't remembering who it was until I saw the hint.

It is spoiler[Ryō Yoake from ReLIFE]?

I also agree that the spoiler tags are pretty useless.

You are correct. Since it does seem to be you and I consistently with others popping in, when it wasn't guessed right away I checked to see if you'd seen it and sure enough, you had and rated it highly, we seem to like a lot of the same shows which are the ones I remember most when thinking about a character to post. My memory is sometimes straight awful with characters and certainly shows I didn't like as much leave my brain quicker.

I've seen so many anime at this point that sometimes it is just hard to remember which one a character is from.

Next character:
