Other aspects of the artwork are all up to Gainax's usual standards; settings such as a skeletonized forest, the town, and even a junkyard are visually pleasing at worst, and gorgeous at their best. The Mahoromatic-esque character designs are definitely female-centric. Hikari, Akari and the rest of the female cast—with their round faces, liquid eyes, and colorful hair—are distinctive, attractive, and memorable—especially Hikari and Akari's cosplay-ready clothing. Male characters are far less appealing, bordering on plain—although Takeru's half-transformed state is strangely pleasing. And, sorry oglers, this volume is almost (if not quite) nudity free.
