    • Quotes
      I want to work on something with a particular feeling: something with a sensitive yet heartbreaking touch, the kind of emotion that one can only experience during their adolescence. I want to keep drawing for an anime that resonates with this kind of emotion. I will hold that feeling close to my heart.
