He's actually participating in one of the threads right now.
That makes sense for the most part, though there's still the issue of home A and home B being apparantly quite far apart. Home B is apparantly south of Yamaku and far enough to make commuting not overly practical as Lilly eventually moved into the dorms. Home B is apparantly fairly close to the company office.Suriko wrote:It's been years, and Lilly's path was a mess of continuous and haphazard edits. From what I can remember, this is closest to what was intended.
I'm pretty sure it was something like:Atario wrote:It seems to me it's like this:
- Family lives in House A (the one near a city on Hokkaido)
- Family moves to House B ("our real house", the one fairly south of Sendai/Yamaku), keeping House A as a vacation home
- Parents move to Scotland
- Lilly and Akira decide to (and/or convince parents to) sell House A to buy House C (the small Hokkaido house in the country which we see on the weekend trip)
- They continue living in House B, using House C as a vacation home
Family lives in A, owns the summerhouse as C
They move to Scotland
Akira sells up and she and Lilly move to smaller southern house B (the 'real house')
They keep C as a holiday home/retreat

Probably no longer on-topic, but it would be a school something like this one—Catholic, boarding etc. Akira would have boarded, and Lilly might have commuted later. But that's a suggestion and not an answer. Sorry.Guest Poster wrote:Akira and Lilly attended the same (strict girls-only) middle school. Akira attended it while the family was living in home A. Lilly attended it 7 years later while she and Akira were living in home B. Seeing how far home A and home B are apart, one of the two (or both) would have needed an airplane instead of a school bus to go to school each day. Unless it was a boarding school, but it feels weird to put 12-year olds in dormitories and I don't think middle school/boarding school combinations would be very common if existent at all in Japan.

What about upper-class Japanese/Scottish families who might be on the other end of the world a few years later?Guest Poster wrote:I actually did some looking into private Catholic schools in Japan some time ago and I noticed that most of them were English-speaking international schools intended for children of diplomats who might be on the other end of the world a few years later. This clashes with Lilly's statement that many wealthy families sent their children there. Upper-class Japanese families would not be quick to send their children to an international school where courses were generally taught in English and kids from all parts of the world attended.
Lilly mentioned that many wealthy families sent their kids to that school. I think the Japanese/Scottish demographic who's also upper-class is actually far too small a group to tailor an expensive private school specifically to them. Most upper-class Japanese families, for whom the idea of being on the other side of the world a few years later would probably not be an issue, would probably want an education that would benefit their kid in the society they're currently part of.What about upper-class Japanese/Scottish families who might be on the other end of the world a few years later?
And, this, from their English-language page on their high school... (I know, Lilly couldn't have gone THERE, due to being at Yamaku, but...)What are dormitory and interview?
This is the time of the dormitory interview, but it is in the order of entrance exam interview → → dormitory interview. I will give you the day time. The guidelines for applicants, there are items in the dormitory qualification. Because I judge in the form along the dormitory qualification, the decision of whether life in the dormitory, please face the interview Omotte consciousness to the communal life, to protect the rule, that master of its own.
For some reason, that reminds me of Lilly, she takes that to 11. (Or full retard, as the case may be.)The mission of Sendai Shirayuri Gakuen is to nurture pupils to live honourably before God. Through the promotion of humanity, moral values, and global awareness, pupils are guided toward looking beyond their own needs and fostering the spirit and capacity to help others.
What do you mean by physical detail? Provided by who? To whom? If by physical you mean their actual physique, the strategic measurements question was discussed a few pages back. We didn't count the number of moles on anyone's butt, but obviously things like mannerisms, posture, body language and such are important to be able to both write and illustrate a character. I spent a lot of time with kamifish thinking about Rin's body language, because she can't use hands which are a fairly important form of nonverbal communication.brythain wrote:Then again, imaginary boarding school for imaginary girl who goes to imaginary academy… would be nice to find real-life analogues all the time, but what can we do? :)
Question: how much physical detail was provided for each character when working on art and story? Or were just the obvious plot points worked out?
Thanks; I think that outlines the range of my question and answers it in general. While you didn't count the number of moles on anyone's butt (to use your figure of speech), was there anything you did at that level of detail re the characters' physical selves? For example, where exactly do Rin's arms end, and what is the extent of Hanako's scarring?Aura wrote:We didn't count the number of moles on anyone's butt, but obviously things like mannerisms, posture, body language and such are important to be able to both write and illustrate a character.
