I didn’t see that until you pointed it out!

are seen as a nuisance, annoying, and obnoxious

Maybe that is the important part and the particular drug used is not that relevant. If so, the characters wouldn’t really change that much? In the west in decades time, when young people assume the position in society that boomers have right now, we might actually see stoner characters and vaping characters become somewhat normal like drunk characters.

I don’t see weed as taboo, maybe it’s different where you are from. It seems way more popular than tobacco these days. Of course alcohol is still the most accepted drug around.

This is such a gaijin question to ask 😅.

Actual marijuana usage in Japan is low with only about 1.8% of Japan’s population ever trying cannabis, compared to 44.2% in the United States.

I can’t say I miss the representation of it. I can’t imagine my favorite characters stoned of their ass 😭. Fun article to bring up the topic and think about it though.

I hope they don’t try to appeal to the west too much and lose that thing that makes it special. Before the 2010’s the west seemed to hate moe a lot. Imagine if they hadn’t made Lucky Star and K-ON! for that reason… Lately I learned that Gochiusa doesn’t even have a western dub. So if they start caring too much about what the west likes good things like those types of anime will become less frequent.

Shes like cat who found the last sliver of sun.

Aaaah to be able to say “itterashai” to an Ayano…

Interesting. The poses are really cute indeed.

I’m not sure she is sleepy here, she says that “annoying things are better done quickly”.

Wonderful… Not so sure about the white ones but the black ones are perfect. Maybe the white one is more flattering on an non-white background. Alice from Kimoza pulls the white ones off well.

Kyuubei with the Sakurako hair is kinda fitting though, at least for their shared seiyuu.

It sure does! Although I saw it much later (after 2020?).

I like the blue one.

Thanks! 99k yen is more than 500 euros, and yea, I’m no position to cough that up unfortunately 😭

Wow! Love the hand made aspect of it. I can’t really spot the price by looking over it, and it’s going to be at least twice as expensive to get it outside Japan…

I love it when character put their squishy cheeks together.

Extra headpats for Kokoro from now on.

The art style is indeed delightful, really one of my favorites. It is simple yet has something refined to it. And just so cute 🥰. I’m curious how your drawing turned out. Don’t be afraid to post your fan art .
