I guess slight spoilers for the themes of the next few imagin, but the first set of imagin we got here are little references to Ryuki riders by using the same themes! Just a bit of fun

Oh, that's awesome. Thanks for the info!

It's essentially the backdrop of his real life beyond just his sister; replacing a setting like a job or school would offer. I just don't think Airi's simps are a fantastic execution of that!

I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure the show even feels that way? One of the better Airi scenes so far is the one where Hana drops in to try and find Ryotaro, and that happens in an empty Milk Dipper. It lets the story keep moving, and retains a focus on the most compelling characters. I'm not sure the verisimilitude of that place having customers outweighs the expediency of keeping that set free of distractions and dead-weight?
