Sorry for this stupid question, I haven’t read mp100 yet just binge watched the anime, but I see you say that manga and anime Reigen is different, I’ve strolled around the fandom for the past few days and have not seen any other one brought this up so I’m just curious how was the anime differs (and btw do you have a strawpage or something like that i wanna draw you something 😊)

Not a stupid question at all 👍 I havent finished watching season 3 but I completed the manga years ago, so my memory might not be very good but I dont think theres any difference between manga/anime Reigen when it comes to his personality, at least nothing very significant (like the hand gimmick he has and other small things the anime left out from the manga. I think there were more things about him that were anime-only but it doesnt affect the story). Only their palettes are very different but I think color choices matter a lot when it comes to building a character so that's why I consider them two separate characters.

I remember reading something where ONE wanted anime Reigen to have a blue tie, but the character designer convinced him to pick a pink tie instead, because blue was too formal, and an unnatural tie color (pink) would be more fitting because it makes Reigen look more like a fraud. I thought it was a poor choice, but it's small things like this that make me think he's being interpreted differently.

Thats entirely my own perspective, but Reigen is a very average guy to me. He has his own quirks, likes to have flashy websites and colorful posters to advertise his business, but appearance-wise he doesnt stand out from others, that's the impression I got when I first read the manga. Others think he's more flashy in appearance, which is fine too. I prefer coloring him with his manga palette because I mostly take ONE's art as reference whenever I draw, and coloring him with brown hair is more fitting since it was what ONE initially meant to portray him (and I think brown hair is better in general) I like his black tie too, but Ive been coloring him with a red tie more often now, sometimes dark purple. I wonder what blue would look like on him if it did end up in the final design for Reigen... I might color him with it one day.

Also I do not have a strawpage, I'm sorry 💔 At least not for the moment. Maybe eventually I'll open a page 👍 Thank you a lot for your message 🫶💜

What do you think of the idea of Girl Reigen and Minori? Give that thang a mom

Yknow I actually thought of it before but I discarded the idea. Mainly because Reigen would just end up being like a big sister/auntie figure to Minori, and I think the idea of big sister Reigen can already be done in a more complex and impactful way with girl Mob. So unfortunately there's not really much to explore when it comes to this, but I still think that the idea is cute and I like seeing anything when it comes to them.... so I wouldnt be opposed to seeing content about it at all 🫶

But in general I think Reigen's gender matters a lot whenever I think of Minori and Reigen. Not just because of Minori's father but because of Reigen having seemingly nothing in common with a teenage girl which makes it troubling for him to deal with her... it's this sort of disconnect that makes it fun for me to draw them together. Girl Reigen would already be more familiar with Minori's behavior since both of them would be girls, and it wouldn't ever get to the point of it being very distressing for Reigen. My goal is to make Reigen as uncomfortable as possible because I like it when he's uncomfortable

Also! I wanted to say I find it interesting that you pointed out the mom thing... I know it's probably because I mentioned her having father issues, but if we talk about family relations then at most she would see Reigen as an older brother rather than her father... I don't really think she'd consider him her "new father" or anything like that. Fathers have power over their children, and Minori wouldn't be comfortable with Reigen if he had power over her instead. I like to think that she would be more casual with him but still enjoys being spoiled by him, kind of just using him to fill the role of a reliable adult in her life who doesn't force anything on her (and whenever he scolds Minori, she doesn't really feel threatened by him which is something important for her)

I think she would behave this way because of her father being overly protective of her and deciding everything for her, and she finds that annoying especially if it affects bigger aspects of her life like career and marriage. But it would be done subconsciously without the intent of finding a new father if that makes sense... that's just what I personally think.
