Summary
"The four members of ITEM. Mugino's clothes have changed from before. Frenda is just a simple moe character design. Takitsubo has the least presence of the four. Kinuhata's age given in the text was changed later, so I drew her to be younger for the novel than she appears here. From the beginning, the plan was for ITEM to appear to be a breath of fresh air in the otherwise bloodthirsty Volume 15 and then surprise people with...you know. For this reason, I made sure to make them very Index-like female characters." ―Kiyotaka Haimura
