When I first introduced the idea of Denji waiting for his first time to be with Makima, I didn’t really plan to ever draw Makima so that was just gonna be the joke. She ended up winning NHML before that Ask even went public, if I remember correctly, or just right around that time or something, so the joke got ruined pretty quickly. After that, I leaned more into the idea that Makima would want to string him along a bit, tease him slowly for a while. That ended up lasting longer than I’d originally thought it would, but the time’s finally come to wrap this arc up. So Denji’s fully on the market same as any other guy in the Studio now. Power was a little impatient and insisted on being involved in this shoot. For those interested in the minutia of lore, Denji and Makima decided to have his first time be a private affair, just the two of them without cameras present. This shoot is more a public announcement of his losing his v-card, or just a celebration.
