Hot gimmick vol. 4

The artwork really amplifies the tension, but I wonder what thought process went into capturing those pivotal scenes. Did the artist have specific inspirations?

Some decisions felt morally grey and made me question my sympathies. Was that the intention, or did it just happen naturally?

The relationships are so layered and nuanced. I’m curious whether the author aimed to comment on real-life social pressures or if it’s purely fictional drama.
