Well, apparently, France (where I lived before), is just that expensive. Probably the most expensive place in Europe to live right now, aside from Norway.
Plus, even when it costs much, yen to Euro exchange rate is still broken. By European standards I'm somewhere in "relatively poor" zone, but my money is worth that much more in Japan. The irony.
And yeah, that's the poster. There are also a lot of illustrations, and profiles of each individual girl.
There are a lot of taxes in buisness/sales, so companies make it up by rising the prices.
It's kinda balanced by the fact that French have a very extensive social security, to the point that you can literally get tons of money by just being an unemployed student. Although, that's kinda a reason why French economy will collapse at some point.
Yeah, I think so. Plus, there are pretty much all CGs on the girls profiles.
Hmmm, there are no pictures of them together, but they have a couple of nice illustrations.
Also, there are pages where the author presents some early design concepts for the characters. Hime had like, 4 hair colors proposed, including red.
Wakoto had some weird hairstyles, before they settled on the final one, which is arguably the best they came up with. Also, little!Hina lineart. SO. MUCH. HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG~
Nah, not many cosplayers today. But the weather was bad though, so they might have just stayed at homes.
