The candy shop set Lei inherited from her grandfather. Because she continues operating it refuse to move out, the surrounding area is deserted. This retro-style candy shop is characterized by its deep wood color. The walls, which were originally white, are now yellowed from aging, sun exposure, and nicotine stains. Go up the platform behind the cash register, and a Japanese-style room is revealed, partitioned by shoji screens and vinyl curtains. This space is Lei's small laboratory, where she conducts scientific experiments and also develops original candies.
I mainly participated in panel creation for the set's wall, painting, weathering, and aging effects.
For the costume, I was solely responsible for designing and creating the core for the humanoid Ichigo.
