Summary
"The rough for Volume 12's cover. I decided to go with Kamijou & Mikoto for this one at a very early stage. It was basically my first thought. I felt having them linking elbows would tie the picture together well, so I went with it. By the way, starting here, I altered the designs even further. The most obvious aspect was shortening the characters, making their heads bigger, and shortening their legs just a bit. ...But the arms and legs still seem to taper off a bit. Maybe I still need to balance it all a bit better." ―Haimura Kiyotaka
