Her excited face or more like her face in general, like when she was running towards Oni, when she first saw them, was a bitch in heat, a total lust was shown there. lol and to top that her boobs do no good either, they just accentuate that.

I've often wondered if there were any other ways of showing female character growth, unrelated to cutting of hair. But then I remember that we don't really require such needlessly embellished writing.
Wow, i only read the beginning of this so far, but she escapes the guards trying to get her back to the castle only to go back there after meeting a random stranger. Peak comedy.
