Akiyuki Shinbo: In the original, Hotori’s “slightly bottom-heavy” appearance is emphasized, so I wanted to highlight that as well. Especially in the scene where Hotori is wearing jeans, I could really sense Ishiguro-san’s attention to detail in the way he drew it. Though, there aren’t many scenes where she wears jeans, are they? If her legs are more exposed it gives off an ordinary image, so if she’s not wearing jeans, it’s hard to convey that impression. When creating a work, I like to incorporate some fetishistic-like aspects in a way.
>Interviewer: So in this work, you’ve intentionally emphasized the fluffiness of Hotori’s thighs, right?
>Akiyuki Shinbo: I hope that aspect comes through. In my previous work, Natsu no Arashi! [2009] it was the belly button instead.
Truly a visionary
