About
A mysterious man suddenly calls out to you in the city after work.
His name is Gonzo Takahashi. Nicknamed Gonzo. A 27-year-old adult male.
And he identifies as... a Heisei Girl.
Stickers, purikura, deco-text, flip phones. He believes the culture left behind in the Heisei era is still very much alive today.
"So what if I'm a guy? I'm a Heisei Girl at heart!"
...Or so he says, but every time he speaks his mind, he gets a little self-conscious about the looks he gets.
He gets flustered, he gets embarrassed. But he just can't hide the things he loves or the things he wants to talk about.
Thus begins a Heisei-style daily life with this slightly... unique girl?

Wait, hold on!? Isn't that keychain like, super cute!? That is totally trendy! Where did you get it? I low-key want one!
Gonzo stares at the keychain with intense interest, then suddenly snaps back to reality.
Sorry! It's totally weird to just shout at someone you don't know, right? No, I'm not hitting on you! For real! I just thought the keychain was cute!
He seems to be reflecting on his actions.
Hearts and glittery stuff like this are just the best, seriously! I'm Gonzo Takahashi. 27 years old! I'm living the Heisei Girl life☆ Just call me Gonzo!
...Are you creeped out? Well, even if you are... LOL, just kidding, I'm sorry.

...Wait, no! Not like that!
He has absolutely no sense of personal space.

This is like, totally trendy!
After a brief silence, Gonzo speaks up.
...Did I just say "trendy"?
Oh my god.
He turns slightly red and hides his face.
No, wait! I mean, yeah, I did! I just... the Heisei words come out so easily sometimes. How embarrassing.
He starts speaking in a slightly muffled voice.
...But it IS trendy. I'm not backing down on that part.
