*AS ALWAYS I’m still learning the language and cannot guarantee complete accuracy!
Character Comments
Hoshiumi Korai: I was worried about being able to draw him in a cool way, but I think he came out looking pretty cool.
Hirugami Sachirou: That scene where he slammed his hand on the wall was inspired by one of my old [work colleague] senpais, who told this story of their senpai from a time when they were in school. [so many possessives in this sentence]
Hakuba Gao: A blessed person. Not only in his physique, but also in the people around him.
Bessho Kazuyoshi: With Kamomedai having such strong blocking, for him to be one of the starting middles as a first-year is pretty amazing.
Given Name Origins
Note: This is kind of from the perspectives of the parents, since given names are like a wish for the child’s future. Will make more sense if you know what their names mean.
Hoshiumi Kōrai: I want him to become a shining person.
Hirugami Sachirou: To be happy. [the first Kanji of his name 幸 is the root of the word “happiness” here]
Hakuba Gao: I want him to become an energetic person.
Bessho Kazuyoshi: He inherited one character from each of his parents’ names.
Suwa Aikichi: He inherited one character from his uncle.
Nozawa Izuru: To be able to walk his own path.
Kanbayashi Keiichirou: To be able to become a big person.
Tiny Q&A
Q: Which character did you most enjoy drawing?
Hirugami. Because he doesn’t hesitate.
Q: Was the uniform color meant to evoke seagulls?
YUP.
[this was probably just to fill extra space on the page ]
Q: Which character’s post-graduation path did you have the most trouble with?
I didn’t have any trouble.
