Dengeki Online now has a Q&A with Kasumi! It’s pretty meaty, so it took a while to get around to this. This is my attempt at translating it; please let me know if you have any errors or corrections to report (with DM/ask/whatever).

Why did you decide to work with Dengeki Online?



When I think of school idols, Dengeki is the first to come to mind, so from the start, I decided that it’d be best to work with Dengeki—!

Someone who I absolutely don’t want to lose to, my personal rival, is actually working with Famitsu. So I look forward to having the editorial department work for—I mean, work with me!

Please describe your appeal point(s).

I don’t really know myself, but my friends often say that I’m cute.

I personally don’t agree at all, but I guess it does make me happy that they say so.

But really, I don’t think that’s true~ I’ll try my best so that more and more people will think that I’m cute!

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Ehehe, when I think about it, one of my hobbies is bread-making. Bread is useful in a lot of ways, after all.

Oh, that’s right. Next time, I’ll make bread for everyone in the editorial department! Of course everyone will eat Kasumin’s homemade bread, right? Right?

What am I bad at…?

Things like intimate girls’ talk? What’s with that joke—? Umm, I’m not good with exercise, especially long-distance running.

I don’t have a lot of physical strength, you see. But I think you need good physical strength to be a school idol, so Kasumin will try her best to improve!

What impressions do you have of Karin-chan and Setsuna-chan?

I’ve been very curious about Karin-senpai ever since we met!

She gives off a very adult-like and sexy feel. Those proportions are unfair—

I don’t have that kind of body, so I’m quite annoye… jealous of that!

Setsuna-senpai shines so brightly, while being charming and good at both singing and dancing, so she’s someone I look up to.

It’s like “She’s a model school idol!”. Setsuna-senpai’s leg… uh, stature is what I want to be able to reach someday!

How do you spend your days off?

When I don’t have plans with my friends, I make bread, and watch popular videos—.

TIme flies when you’re watching videos, you know?

When I start watching right after I wake up, it feels like it suddenly becomes nighttime. Huh? What do I do with my friends? I-I’ll leave that to your imagination ♪

Please tell us which subjects you like and dislike.

I like science and home economics.

I really enjoy doing experiments and mixing things—. Stirring stuff around is really fun.

What I’m not good at… classical literature and history, I guess? Kasumin always has her eyes on the future, so she doesn’t really like looking back at the past ♪

Why did you decide to become a school idol?

There’s a senpai I adore, and I wanted to participate in school idol activities together with them!

I’ve always wanted to become a school idol, but I worried about whether I’d be able to pull it off… so I never really got very far.

But I can do it if I work together with my senpai! With them, I thought, “I want to do this!”. In the end, Kasumin is well-suited to being a school idol, right?

What animal would you compare yourself to?

Kasumin loves cats—! So I’d say a cat, I guess—. Do you think that fits me? …sorry, could I start over with this answer?

Kasumin is a kitty, nyan ♪

What genre of music do you like?

I love idol songs, of course—. I watch a lot of popular idol music videos—ones that have a ton of likes on them.

No matter which one I watch, everyone’s so cute, and I get really excited. So much that after I’m done, I get kind of gloomy.

Like “But I really don’t want to lose to them~”. Well, actually, I’ll work hard so that I don’t lose ♪

Kasuka… (We restrained ourselves to avoid making her angry.) Please tell us about the origin of your usual nickname. If you want to, also tell us why you get angry about it.

Umm, Kasumin doesn’t really understand what this question means~. What nickname could you be referring to~?

By the way—not that it means much to me—but who came up with this question? Ufu ☆

What do you use to help with writing scandalous notes? (Perhaps crime dramas or mystery novels, for example.)

What could you be talking about~? Kasumin doesn’t understand. I only write super cute letters, you know?

By the way, would it be possible to get the address of the person who submitted this question afterwards? Aha ☆

Please tell us how excited you are for your upcoming activities.

Though I’m with Karin-senpai and Setsuna-senpai, I want to work my hardest here to get everyone excited, so that I don’t lose to them!

With those two lending their strength to me, one day I’ll feast upon all the delicious… *cough* fight fair and square to reach the top!

Please support Kasumin, everyone ♪
