Sometimes some (guest) artists put their illustrations on pixiv/deviantart/blog and they might get crossposted on shimmie that way. This happened in the case of the image you mention, but as a general rule artbook illustrations won't be uploaded on shimmie.
<Aura> would you squeeze a warm PVC bottle between your thighs and call it "manaka-chan"

Not really my job to answer here, but I'm fairly sure Aura is a dude.

This is probably gonna seem a bit out of left field (as it has little to do with the game itself), but may I ask where the reference for the Art Classroom came from?

So there will be no digital release?

Oh, so it was you who wrote Rin path? Cool. I mean - it's the most unusual path of them all.

So... did you plan Rin to be autistic from the beginning or just wanted to make her weird and she just ended up acting autistic?
Is she diagnosed with anything? Aside from acting autistic she also does show signs of Asperger's syndrome.
But considering she's an artist and knowing my few weird artist friends I'm not sure about anything when artists are involved :P

There might, but don't count on that. Dangerous is a bit of a special case in our artbook series.

Rin has been diagnosed for just about every possible mental disorder by internet armchair psychologists. I'm not gonna give any kind of straight answer to this sort of question ever. She is what she is.

Hmm. Okay then. Whole room just looked very familiar to me. Reminded me of the art classroom at my own high school.

How so?

Also, I did see that one of the pictures was by a 4LS member.

Also, I saw that twitter post from VCR:
"So I'm a bit slow but I just learned the theme for the KS artbook was "tasteful erotica"
Would've been nice to know before I drew Hanako taking a dildo in both holes man, I would've drawn something a lot more mild"
Uhhhh :lol: How the hell did that happen?
I write take a look, would you kindly?
I also draw, kind of.

Dangerous was mostly weee's solo project (there's only her artwork and a few guest pieces) so it's up to her whether she wants to make a digital release or not. There was just a failure in communication between VCR and weee that resulted in the rather humorously off tone guest art.

Ahh, okay. That makes a lot of sense. Also, that's quite a bit of communication failure where instead of "tasteful erotica" it's "hardcore hentai" :lol: That's honestly, really hilarious.

That's pretty fascinating; I've seen convincing arguments that Rin's story is one of her pursuing Hisao (in her own inscrutable way) — and somewhat bumbling it as a good protagonist should.
6. There is a bad end.
VINDICATION! I hate that people have accepted that it's only neutral. To me, it's one of the more heartbreaking things in the game.

Question: What are the (approximate?) ages of Akira, Yuuko, Nurse, Mutou, Meiko, Jigoro, Nomiya, Sae, and Shopkeep?
NB: none of the above is a request

Both of those are interpretation things, and anyone's interpretation is valid as long as it's plausible.

Akira: mid-twenties
Yuuko: early twenties
Mutou: late forties
Meiko: forties
Jigoro: fifties
Nomiya: late fifties
Nurse: Older than he looks
Sae: ■■■■■■■■
Shopkeep: ∞

Which artist was responsible for Kenji's sprites? I have a feeling it was Raide, but I want to be sure.
