Here's a thought bubble. She says "What is this, a Manga Research Club?" But like. In universe, isn't that what they look like? Compare Paisen's drawing to Kouhai-gal, and it's pretty much an exact replica. So, are the characters self aware that they look exactly like manga characters? Is their self portrait always gonna be "manga" like? Would a realistic portrait of said character actually be considered a sort of avant-garde or unique are style for said artist? I am so confused.
