Shin Asakura Character Ask 1

I was thinking over this question for a while, and this is what I landed on. While Mr. Sakamoto loves little store and the peaceful life he leads, I’m not sure if I can really picture him starting up a new one in the Studio. Right now I feel like he’s probably in vacation mode, lounging around and eating a lot. If his wife came to the Studio, though, I do think that would change. I feel like she wouldn’t want to see him languish for too long and would push to get their store in the Studio just to give them both something to do.

Kurapika Character Ask 5

So at first blush I didn’t think I could really work with this question, just from the premise. I don’t think Kurapika would really have much opinions on assassins as a group, and the question feels a bit to me like asking someone what they think about other race car drivers because one of their friends comes from a racing family. I think the idea here was to do something with Kurapika and Shin, though, or at least that’s where my mind went with it. I thought it’d be fun to do something with them, so I tried to work with it here.

Dirty Thoughts

For anyone not familiar with Sakamoto Days, Shin (the blonde boy) is a mind-reader who works for/with retired assassin Mr. Sakamoto. Occasionally Sakamoto will get annoyed with Shin and imagine killing him graphically, which Shin of course sees and reacts to. It’s a recurring gag, but one I thought could be played with a bit if Sakamoto imagined something a little different.
