Summary
"Side characters part 2. For the characters in Kamijou's everyday life such as his school life, I try to avoid any excessive gimmicks in design, but I also have to avoid having the designs be too similar to an existing character. Also, female characters with more extreme facial features are difficult to put into the standard moe format, and this clearly shows with Kumokawa... On the other hand, I didn't have to think about that kind of thing at all with Balbina, so I focused on making her more adorable than moe. The same goes for Sakashima-san...Really, I should have just given him an afro." ―Kiyotaka Haimura
