They are all very popular due to being quite attractive.

## Personality

Yukari can be blunt, harsh, and cold and is noted to have a short fuse on. He doesn't hide his feelings and can end up hurting others because of this. He also has a tendency to become very aggressive when upset, and may throw things at others. Despite his harsh exterior, he is very kind and selfless at heart, putting others desires about his own. This is seen especially with his job at V.B.R., where he dedicates all of his time and energy into making his customers happy and ensuring that he doesn't miss any deadlines. Him and his father Aoi Arisaka are similar in this way, as they both are very dedicated and hardworking, willing to do anything for their customers. Yukari recounts the stories of his father staying up late the night before a deadline with annoyance, although he does the same thing, and would help his father when he was in these situations.

Yukari is thick-skinned and can easily brush off negative comments about himself, although when someone insults his friends he immediately defends them and get very angry. When Shizuya Kuromine insulted Mitsuya Kuromine and his job, Yukari threw him out of the shop and told him to never come back.

## Backstory

When he was 5, his parents divorced because his mother was quite neglectful and never fulfilled her promises. Before his parents divorced, Ririko often took care of him and babysat him, and helped out at home. His father later married her, and they had Sakura Arisaka together. Yukari never contacted his mother after the divorce, and he says that it doesn't affect him because he feels fine. He refers to her as "that woman" when first talking about her.

## Relationships

### Mitsuya Kuromine

Mitsuya is Yukari's best friend since high school. They work together at V.B.R.

### Ageha Shiroi

Ageha is a part-time worker at V.B.R. who Yukari meets when Hibari Shiroi went to V.B.R. to get her wedding dress made.

Just stay away from resources that upload downscaled releases and put watermarks on them.

Especially Mangafox. Seriously.

## Reverse image search engines

 File:1281402651050.jpg
IQDB: \*booru board searcher. Use it for anime images. It's probably gonna be the first thing you should use for source. Also has a 3D option.

SauceNAO: Anime-related image searcher. It's your second option if IQDB doesn't work out well. It also has a few anime screenshots. Pretty good hentai searcher, if you have a screenshot or GIF. Also offers a browser add-on/extension, Image Search Options, which searches several of the other reverse image search engines.

Ascii2D: Japanese 2D image searcher (read comments if you can—it also gives the source). Use it when both IQDB and SauceNAO fail.

WAIT: What Anime Is This: Anime scene search. Use any screenshot to find out which episode and which second it is taken from. Works best with most anime released since 2000. Also has a brief video preview of the results.

TinEye: General image searcher. Matches variations on the image searched for, but not similar images.

Google Images: Drag-and-drop, keyword-entering magic. A good place to start for general image identification.

Doujin/hentai portals like The Doujinshi & Manga Lexicon (formerly at doujinshi.mugimugi.org) and E-Hentai support file search, as seen in the right picture. Some of the board archives also support searching for posts with the same image hash. And remember, looking at the filename, recognizing artist/studio styles, and knowing the current airing season will really help you not look stupid.

## Lists of image sites

AllChans - OverChan V.3: Huge list of image sites

Overchan: Another list of image sites.

Imageboards at TV Tropes.

Pixiv: A Japanese online community for artists. Almost every good 'anime-styled' image you've ever found on the Internet was from this site. The biggest art site in Japan. A lot of mangaka, illustrators, animators, doujinka, and hobbyists use this site. In Japanese, English, Korean, and both Traditional and simplified Chinese.
