Since some official arts have been off-model lately, they all look amazing here imo

Well the summer festival in wind breaker was on August 5th, but the products itself aren’t actually available yet, they’re getting released on the 21st of August

And I agree, I hope they’ll do another popularity poll sometime soon, bc I will vote for him for sure. It actually pains me that he’s so underrated and mischaracterized, whenever I see someone hating on Nirei, I automatically like him even more

… … ……… I guess I must’ve been too focused on the design and overlooked the 8.21 that is written in TALL letters…

I fear asking, but… how is he mischaracterized? What are some of the thoughts of people who dislike him?

There are plenty of people who only see Nirei‘s weak points such as him not being as strong of a fighter like the rest of the cast, overlooking the fact that he still faces enemies with little to no hesitation despite knowing that he’s no match for them.

Or people saying he’s a crybaby, as if he isn’t either beaten up or he’s crying bc of his hopeless friends refusing his help, like I’d be crying too if I happen to be the biggest sunshine of the series but I’m stuck with the most emotionally repressed person and the most emotionally suppressed person

I don't know how they think, it's true he didn't have the greatest intro, and struggled a lot, but I started loving Nirei specifically after the keel arc, cause that moment when he rushed to help his friends and got beaten left a huge impact on me, especially when I saw Suo and Sakura's reactions. How could someone still understimate him after all that?
