The girl with the brown hair seems much like Kotori and the third girl has the same atmosphere than Chihaya with her facial expression in the PV.
See the girls of Rewrite again gies a good feeling.

Oh, I thought she quit the VN scene entirely. Didn’t think she’d just simply look for another place to work for.
Well from what I understood, she felt underused and unappreciated at Key. She wanted to explore new things.

She was burnt out for sure, but she loves drawing fantasy above all else so it is great seeing her design characters freely following what she is most passionate about!

I’m interested to see what happens at all…and to poke at it to see what kind of cake it is and if it is still a cake…but perhaps Summer Pockets potentially never getting released overseas is too fresh in my mind and the other project that Hinoue Itaru is a part of is still so far away. Slow and steady wins the race?
It’s very nice that an artist wants to try new things and keep designing and drawing for the audience that they care so much for though.
EDIT: I’m not trying to sound negative or to ruin good moments, memories, or to get hopes down in any way, but there is still such a massive “who knows” feeling.

Nice, her art certainly improved. I wish to see a re-release of AIR in that style… amazing.

Hmm… I might actually fish out some cash to get this, as opposed to Koropokkur in Love. No hard feelings, just not a big fan of the stor-, ar-… eh, just don’t like it in general.
Haruka Drive! has officially been released!
I believe it’s only being sold in stories, so find out more on the official website!

It really bugs me how this girl look like Saya, which is not really even Hinoue’s design… They have like almost exact same color of hair and eyes.
Other things I noticed…
Inoue comes back. Oh my gosh…
They tilt their head almost the exact same way. Just close Shiona’s mouth and they will look the same but with different color palette.
This ‘Harmonia art style’ is probably getting worse… I don’t even know…

I merged all of the faces to create the ultimate Hinoni.

Looks exactly like every other character she’s drawn since Harmonia.
It’s a real shame. I love the art of Harmonia a lot but it seems really extreme when all of the characters look exactly the same. And that’s not even factoring in the other game she drew for by mangagamer…
Yeah, I really do appreciate her Harmonia artstyle when I first saw it. I especially like the pencil texture approach on it.
But now, looking at her recent works, all I can see are bunch of Shiona clones with different rendering etc. which is really sad… And now, I can’t completely appreciate her Harmonia artstyle like I used too…

Yeeeaaahhh her VN character designs have become too homogeneous lately. Everyone’s eye shapes look practically the same now, and besides maybe the blonde girl there’s nothing distinct about their body language. But it’s not like her designs have ever been varied… and frankly that’s something I can say to a loooot of VN artists. I feel that this is only ever the case for heroines, probably because they already have this ideal image of an attractive heroine and limit themselves to it, idk.
To be fair, there’s definitely a bit more variety in the artworks she uploads on Twitter. I’m not a huge fan of how garish the color choices look sometimes, but I do still have a soft spot for her art ;_;
