Ooi and Kitakami. Ooi and Kitakami. I looked back at all the Ooi posts here from the early days and you couldn’t walk a step without stumbling over a picture of Ooi clinging to Kitakami, with a lot of them depicting her as a deranged stalker. I feel like if this had been drawn in the early days, then Ooi would have explicitly been handing her gift over to Kitakami.
You still see it, but these days you’re just as likely to see Ooi with the Admiral, maybe even more so, and scaled back from psycho to more general tsundere. And I can’t say for sure, but I also feel like it wasn’t a gradual shift, but happened pretty abruptly at some point, and I wonder what caused the change.
