@Rin2k THANK YOU how come we're the only ones I've yet to see to think the same??
So far this whole arc has been pretty dissappointing... I was hoping for a tense, full of misunderstandings but nevertheless funny love triangle but then we get... semen demon titty satan prez ._. and after all that super dignified aura she was giving out at the beginning... Also, I don't think I'm very fond of the whole promotional Nekotoro campaign so Paisen could get more attention to his art instead of making it stand out on itself...
There has been some interesting bits though, like this mutual jelousy bits, or actually showing Paisen's art skills and sense, and also people genuinely interested in them; the former being I really appreciate his artistic eye on depicting his love interest in such a fresh and cute way through his art vision.
Anyway, I'll just leave the Lorax to summarize my whole opinion on this Cultural Festival Arc which I'll forever think was kind of a wasted interesting idea:
