Nice to see a weeb set that doesn't have sublegends but not having another alpha set with hiragana or katakana is a bit disappointing imo

I'm conflicted: on one hand, I really like these combination of colors, but on the other, why is this so pricy?

[//gainsborough]

does kono not offer the rama cap?  I don't see it on the GB page.

I like the colors, but I'm kind of confused by the naming and the inspiration of this set. Ishtar is a Mesopotamian goddess, but your inspiration on your IC is from an anime? Some of your kit names are japanese, but your description on the GB page says nothing about the anime. The website also says nothing about the anime either. I'm probably going to get some flak for this post, but it would've been neat to give it unique names and some consistency.

Yes its based on the anime, but to not get into legal ramifications it's more of a "if you know, you know" type of thing.

I think I got the base kit set from Kono. Hopefully, it gets fulfilled and I can get the Kuro and novelties sets later on.
