Go Brain Girls!

***Go Brain Girls!*** (Japanese:- 進め豆悩女の子！| susume zuno onna no ko! [lit. Go Ahead Brain Girl!]) is a webcomic series created by @mik4loi. The series focus on a group of three "personality girls" as they manage the cognitive functions similarly to a mundane office building.

## Plot

Three girls work in the 'office': Dahiyo Masaki who manages Ambition and Desire (later changed to Foreign Affairs), Sakuhin Miyamoto who manages the Executive Department (later changed to Home Affairs) and Hana Matsunaga who serves as the permanent de facto chairwoman (later given the responsibility of Research and Development). The central theme of the comics circulate around the girls preparing for some forecasted armegeddon-like event that could threaten their credibilities and force them into non-existance.

During their time working together, the girls are shown to initially not care much for one another and prefer to see each other as colleagues. This is driven by the fact that the girls wanted to achieve excellence in their own field to outmatch the other and achieve prestige for themselves. Soon, they begin to realise that their jobs were meant to intertwine with one another and that each of them contributed one way or another to each other and soon their relations begin to become more amicable. They are hit with a number of challenges both emotionally and physically along the way which destabilises their relations from time to time but eventually they strengthen their ties together on the basis of achieving a mutual goal.

The series didn't exactly recieve a proper ending as the final installment simply showed the girls preparing for what they believed was the final day before the major-event (which they dubbed *The Omega-S Event*) and allowing fate to decide whether their actions were worth the time.

## Characters

There are four major characters in *Go Brain Girls!.*

### Hana Matsunaga

#### Appearance

Hana has shoulder length orange-ish hair with fringes combed to her left side. She has a gauze covering her left that is stained with unknown red marks (Hana insists it isn's blood as they don't exactly bleed). She wears an orange jacket with a belt wrapped around her midrim and a medal pinned to the left side of her uniform, a yellow undershirt and a brown tie. She wears pants of a slightly darker shade of orange with dress shoes, white gloves on each hand and a light brown beret.

#### Personality

Hana is the apparent chairwoman of the organisation, being the oldest of the three. She is shown to be carefree and even blasé when dealing with any kind of situation the office faces. As she says, *"A situation is only as bad as you make it out to be. With enough optimism and emotional resilience, being the only survivor in a nightmarish accident where all your friends and family die in front of your eyes as you wait weeks or even months for rescue as the bodies around you begin to rot beyond recognition potentially scarring you with lifelong PtSD is still an opportunity for improvement*[1]." Suffice it to say, she is also often exceedingly verbose.

### Daihyo Masaki

Daihyo Masaki manages the interpersonal relations in the office. She shares similar traits with Hana though less charmismatic and positive. While Hana's insouciance is often associated with disregarding failure, Daihyo's indeference is closer to laziness. She is shown to very often neglect her duties both set by herself or otherwise. As she says "*Our final destination is death no matter what we do, why bother?*[2]"

Daihyo wears a white blouse with a large red bow in the middle.
