The art-style reminds me a lot of Akira, is it just me? Idk ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
you're not wrong! :D syundei really loves that movie! ^-^ if you go to her website, she's posted some of her colored artworks and it's very similar to that 80s type of style, there's even some fan art of Akira :3 She says she feels very nostalgic towards that time, it's all so lovely! she's an amazing artist, I think she's so underrated, seriously!
I really hope that this situation with blondie aint gonna turn into another bullshit way to make the story longer, and add in some half-assed drama to spice up the story when it isn't necessary. It happens far too often in romance stories like these when the relationships begin to stabilise and I'm praying that this is gonna be one of the better ones but I aint banking on much ( ̄へ ̄)
