From getting and playing 100% Orange Juice as a silly thing to do with friends, I took note that Suguri was the cutest looking of the starting characters. I actually didn't know how the profiles in the game worked yet, so I made a second one so I could have her as the avatar instead of QP, which I selected for the very first profile because I didn't know what the fuck was going on. That was entirely unnecessary since it could be changed on the fly, but that became my main profile. As I learned how the game worked, Suguri's playstyle as a unit became my favorite, while simultaneously giving me tons of grief. The game had me utterly enraptured, I loved it and all its RNG bullshit. I got many friends to play it and I played it on my own vigorously, using Suguri for most of the time I played. At this point, I was at the stage of "Suguri is best girl" and found out that there were threads on /v/ about OJ. After a while of this, I had started to become more obsessed with OJ in general, but I also stealthily became very fond of Suguri. Then I found out that 100% OJ was actually an anniversary game combining the rich history of Orange_Juice's games, such as SUGURI or Flying Red Barrel. I found out about the music of the SUGURI games, and awakened to my passion for trance music, which lead to an amazement with the SUGURI series of games. After a while of this infatuation with the soundtracks, including much exploration of arrange albums and such, I decided I would take the plunge, purchase the game SUGURI, and see where that takes me. What I didn't realize at this time was that it was super apparent to everybody around me that I was obsessed with Suguri. I didn't notice the gradual change in my emotional attachment to this character. So it was about November of 2016, and one of my friends gifted me the games. I played it, got my ass handed to me for the first time since WipEout HD, but persevered and finished it.
