It really does. Great layouts too.
(Not gonna post spoilers but I'm thinking of a few really good uses of the division between pages in volume 6.)

Of course, cultural narratives shape us and our expectations of the world, but I still think at least a part of us exists beyond those influences.

This is maybe especially true in your case, given that you resonated with this gendered narrative _before_ you were prescribed that narrative.

I don't think finding resonance with cultural narratives of gender is inherently sexist, even if there might be sexist aspects to those narratives.

Imo, the thing that matters here is not the narrative or the context from which it emerges, but the resonance and what it clarifies about yourself.

Truly, there are few things less surprising to me than the existence of Hello Kitty Char Aznable merch.

And here's the interior detail

Two details I'm especially proud of:
- the metallic gray color accents on the railing (done carefully with a sharpened pencil)
- the door at the top of the stairs (present in Mozu's build but missing in the kit, I scratch built it with leftovers)

Full view with of the papercraft kit. The wall has been removed, exposing the full inner detail. A paper backing frame supports the back and side walls and keeps the staircase centered.

Close-up view, angled-left.
There is a door at the top of the stairs, with a window on the center of the door and a handle on the right.

Close-up view, angled straight ahead.
The staircase, handrail and poster can be seen in full.

A peek up the staircase

Close-up view, angled right.
A handrail can be seen on the right and back walls, as well as a light switch on the right switch just above the handrail

Close-up view, angled straight ahead.
The handrail continues up the back wall. There is a small framed poster above the handrail.

Close-up view, angled left.
The handrail continues up the stairs around the left turn and out of sight.

MOZU Studio × sankei
miniatuart – kobito series
Little Stairs

Close-up picture of a small box
The box is on its side, with the top facing forward
On the top of the box is the image of a wall outlet with the text "Miniatuart koibito series"

Picture of the box opened. Inside the box is a papercraft miniature model of a wall. The wall has wallpaper texture, wooden wall, wood floor at the bottom, and an outlet just a bit above the wall trim. To the right of the outlet is a small opening in the wall which looks like a tiny doorframe, and inside the opening is a tiny staircase. The staircase goes up a few steps and then takes a turn around a corner to the left.

It's a lot of time to remove not a lot of material, but the result is very satisfying

note that some kits have multiple instruction manuals, so including those would require additional links

e.g. the MGSD Aerial has an instruction manual and a sticker guide

Have you ever seen a translation so good it moved you to tears

(from My Dress-Up Darling Official Anime Fanbook)

恋（コスプレ）は変える。姿も、心も。

Love (cosplay) [changes/transforms] . Both in [shape; appearance] and in [mind, heart, spirit].

(My Dress-Up Darling Season 1 tagline)

Love, like cosplay, changes you inside and out.

(translation from My Dress-Up Darling Official Anime Fanbook, translated by Taylor Engel)

They really take an entire week off from the main plot to celebrate the announcement of their own anime, complete with spelling out the structure of the series and speculating about voice actors.

Lilysa: I wonder how it'll turn out...

Lilysa: How're they gonna handle the early chapters with heavy fanservice? As it progresses, it turns into a passionate sports anime, but...
Noa: True, it might be a bit much for a wider audience.

Okumura: Still, that fanservice is at the core of the protagonist's character.
Lilysa: I know they can't do everything, but I hope they don't cut out any of the stories.
Tsubaki: "Fanservice at the core of..." Does that even make sense?

TwoAi @twoai.bsky.social · 16d

Rereading 2.5 Dimensional Seduction for panel research and I completely forgot they just say it out loud

(Correction: They're talking about Lililili, a completely unrelated and definitely fictitious manga)

Lilysa: That high school sports rom-com! Lililili is getting an adaptation!!

(Everyone cheers)

Tsubaki, to the side: I've never heard of that manga before!
