i've never gotten burned (well never stayed out long enough to tan or burn) but i suppose on hot days a parasol would be nice even if you might get weird stares for carrying an umbrella during brightness, versus some 'frilly lolita' design XD;
IDK how much the 'average' umbrella costs, i got one with a nice blue floral design at a cheap store tho i haven't rly used it since i'm in a part of the south that doesn't rain too often and i normally wouldn't go on a long walk during the rain anyways versus a sudden storm but i suppose it'd always be convenient to have
lol, gyarus aside, considering how much Asia values pale/lighter skin and probably not as many ppl into tanning on purpose, i wouldn't be surprised if even the 'cheap' sunscreen/uv protection is decent (i guess spf30-50 should be fine unless you stay out super long/sensitive skin?) And lol the bucket hat/sunglasses are cute but if ur going onto the train you wouldn't rly need any more coverage at that point? Unless you're right at the window or the sun beams brightly through those as well
i wonder how much the author gets paid for name dropping brands like milbon or if it's something they're allowed to mention without censoring but they still wouldn't get free samples/products from them or so (like that one fashion manga that mentions uniqlo like every other chapter XD)
Sucks that he lost it but in JP i can imagine they're more likely to hang onto it than a random person stealing it lol
