As I expected, the story has gotten darker as it nears the climax, but Shingu is still a great deal of fun.

German cameras.1 So they still shoot film in 2070?

Boy or girl?

  1. There are two different brands alluded to here, Contax, obviously, but also the M-series Leica (though the latter were rangefinder cameras, not SLRs like Futaba’s camera). []

I think Shingu can be excused due to its age. Futurists can never guess the future technologies. For example, no sci-fi author envisioned the cellphone. But using film in Crestent Love deservedly produced criticism.

Did you notice that Shun’s eyes changed color when wearing that costume? Ordinarily they’re brown.

Contact lenses. Or scifi eyedrops.

What I want to know is what happened with the hair.
