@ArcadiaDragon To say nothing of the cost of a full, well-made Goth loli ensemble; that's not something a kid can afford, especially when you take into account how, for lack of a better word, hostile Japan is towards the idea of young people working.
I'm going to go out on a limb and hope that she's just going to end up as good friends as Tadokoro. I don't think there's going to be any love drama with Rui, but you never know.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely getting some good vibes from Ranbara sensei. though with the amount of following and previous work she has, does she really count as a rookie?
@UmbraBird That's what I was thinking. If she's a "professional" illustrator, how can she be considered a "rookie/amateur"?
And I can't help but question how Rui thought about the quirk they share by saying, "It smells like..." Someone please help me! Do gays/lesbians give off a certain aroma? Is that how gaydar works? 🤔🤯
