It's time for me to gush about Ako-baby, because she is just precious and perfect. 

Making her first appearance alongside Kanade's younger brother, Ako comes off as harsh and cold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUbVst3bsaI

She typically makes single scene appearances from then on, providing that episode's daily recommended supply of snark, almost always with Souta by her side. 

Around episode 11 the debut of the mysterious masked Precure, Cure Muse arrives. 



With her Fairy Tone doing all the talking for her, and her height being greater than that of Ako, even knowing who she was I feel like I wouldn't have made the connection. Especially since the show teased us with the thought of at least three other candidates.

It's not until the early to mid 30s that we start to see signs that Ako is in fact Cure Muse, some more obvious than others. We also start seeing that she's not as cold as she seems.

I honestly thought I wouldn't adore Ako as much as I do, since she seems so cold and mature. But once she unmasks herself and reveals her true intentions, it becomes obvious beneath that tsun tsun exterior she's a little sweetie. 

and and and and! Ako's princess dress! 



It's just the cutest thing in the universe. The sunflowers on her head!

/stops gushing about Ako.

I really like Ako! I do ship her and Souta. I just wish her being Cure Muse was written in a bit better.

Oh? What did you feel was wrong with the way it was written?

The end of Suite felt rushed. I kind of wished Cure Muse joined the team a bit earlier? Or at least have the history of her kingdom explained better. I think that's what's bothering me. I felt like her dad becoming evil came out of no where. Siern of all people should have known that once she became Cure Beat and told the other Cures. Hummy is kind of an excuse because well it's Hummy...
