Trivia

Plot

Dreaming of Art School

Hanako Sakuraba hoped to get into Tokyo University of the Arts.

She studied hard and went to class with Yatora Yaguchi and other students.

For the art practice, she wore uniforms or jumpsuits so she wouldn't worry about getting dirty.

Working at the Bookstore

After failing her second try for the university, Hanako took a job at a bookstore.

At first, her coworkers called her "Venus" because of her lovely looks.

After some time, they started to call her "Avatar with expensive items" because her clothes were always so unique and different from anyone else's.

Giving Up the Art School Dream

Hanako decided not to keep trying for art school after getting a job offer.

She didn’t want to spend more money and was perhaps a little tired from trying for so long.

Even when picking up her art supplies from the school, she insisted on carrying them home by herself rather than accepting help or a ride.

Serious and Responsible

When her class took a break to visit a bone museum, Hanako was the second person to arrive, showing her responsible side.

She mostly keeps to herself but pays attention to the rules and tries her best in everything.
