So there’s a running gag in Bocchi the Rock! that Ryo, despite coming from a well-off family, is always broke and borrowing money from her friends. This is usually chalked up to her always buying new guitars and such. Now, in the Studio, I’ve more than once implied that they don’t really use money, or at least it’s not necessary to get by since it’s a sci-fi utopian type location. However, due to rule of funny, I think Ryo would still find a way. I wanted to pair her with someone else who would still place value on money even in the Studio, and Kanamori seemed like a perfect fit for a few different reasons.
