I have been working along on my fourth season and I have come up with a bit of a problem that I was hoping to get some input on. When are the birthdays of the major characters in Mahoromatic. I know we had a discussion about Mahoro's birthday a while ago and basically came up with a date sometime in the beginning of May. We also know when Suguru's birthday is (December 21st from both the Anime and the Manga). Rin mentions that her birthday is January first in the Manga (at the Christmas Party).
In episode 8 of the first season, Ryuga says that he was created 3 years and 8 months before that episode, which would put his birthday sometime in the second or third week of January (my bet is somewhere around January 19).
And I kind of set Minawa's birthday on July 23rd.
That still leaves several characters with unknown birthdays... specifically Miyuki (and her sisters), Hamaji, Kiyomi, Chizu and Shikijo.
I do have some ideas for Miyuki and her sisters due to the seasonal nature of their names (Miyuki is "beautiful snow"; Natsune is daughter of summer; Harune is daughter of spring; Akine is daughter of autumn). It is perfectly possible that this might relate to the season of their birth.
If anyone else has any suggestions or ideas, I welcome them.
After thought and side note:
Several days ago I received a request for permission from someone who wants to write a fan fiction story based on New Beginnings. 3400+ hits so far
