Yamaguro Nekuro Works Through a 30-Question Love Quiz on a Morning Stream

AOGIRI HIGHSCHOOL — Yamaguro Nekuro of Aogiri Highschool spent a morning *zatsudan*, or chat stream, answering a 30-question, two-choice quiz about romance, reading each pair aloud and explaining the pick for a little over two hours.

The stream opened with small talk. Nekuro said they had slept well, which they credited for a brighter voice than in recent streams, and talked about food and family: a sister who buys cake, and who kept pulling a capsule-toy machine until it produced the mascot character Nekuro likes. A promised trip to Hokkaido, Nekuro said, still had to happen before the year was out.

“Like is like. I’m probably not the type with a 50-percent like or a 10-percent like. It’s really love or dislike, one or the other.” — Yamaguro Nekuro, on a question about rating how much one likes someone

The quiz began about 17 minutes in. Nekuro said looks hardly matter to them and that they would pick personality over a high face score. They said they could not imagine a partner who sent 100 messages a day, adding that they turn notifications off in every app. Asked to choose between remembering anniversaries and remembering only a birthday, Nekuro picked the birthday, and they preferred a partner who shows affection through actions over one who only says it. Asked what they would want to know about a partner’s past, Nekuro said they were curious how earlier relationships ended, and that having no criminal record is one of the conditions on their list of types. Nekuro wrapped up by saying the answers would probably come out the same a year from now.

Chat joined in throughout, and the stream drew 22 Super Chats. Many viewers wrote in on their way to work and thanked Nekuro for a morning stream.

Near the end, viewers told Nekuro that a stream schedule would help, since the morning streams start without notice. Nekuro said they had stopped posting one because they were sure they could not keep to it, then agreed to try again. After some fumbling, a calendar-style schedule appeared on screen, and chat welcomed it back. Nekuro said it held little information so far, and that a stream they have long wanted to do depends on finishing their editing work.
