Summary
"Thor. I was originally instructed to give him yellow and black coloring and I vaguely thought that was fine, but I then realized that coloring had been used for Kumokawa Maria-san from the previous volume. That was why I disobeyed my instructions with my first version (the leftmost one). But even though the roughs are often not as refined as I would like, I felt his look was especially unrefined, so I made a corrected version that actually followed the instructions (second from the left). The version ultimately used is the third one. ...To be honest, I was initially less worried about him having the same colors as Kumokawa Maria and more worried about him looking too much like Accelerator, but I feel like he has secured his proper position as a "bad boy" between the original roughs and the Volume 6 illustrations."―Kiyotaka Haimura
