Webtoons are good for the soul [Long post] [but worth it] [hopefully]
Bit of a long one (for a change...), sorry.
I haven’t read that many that’s a lie but here are my favs!
Tumblr media
Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe [ongoing - every Sunday]
or when Hades met Persephone. It’s a love story, fluffy yet deep and sad at times. Very well told and with incredible art (as you can see from the cover ci-dessus), in a pastel/watercolour fluid style, as is the storytelling. It has compelling characters, character growth, love, funny moments, and basically the best you could ask from a romantic story. And it had enough material to get you through good number of hours of reading before you have to break down every sunday in wait of the following week like the rest of us.

Love Advice From the Great Duke of Hell by unfins [ongoing - every Friday]
Paul is in love with a cute girl who works in a café nearby. But Paul is shy and can’t work out how to go ask her out. So Paul does what anyone would do and summons one of the Great Dukes of Hell in order to get better at fumbling his sentences and blushing at beautiful maidens. It’s about discovery of one’s true self and how getting deep into shenanigans will lead you to find so much more. Also, sister. (You’ll understand when you get there.)
It’s funny but also compelling and serious but still incredibly funny. I don’t think I’ve laughed as much reading any other webtoon and yet the story is also really cool. It strikes a perfect balance, or near perfect. The expressions and the action scenes are just incredible too.

Tumblr media
Suitor Armor by Purpah [ongoing - every Friday]
In a land with magic and war between humans and fairies, Lucia is the princess’s lady in waiting and her only goal in life at the moment is to get her Lady to have the wedding she wishes for and deserves. But then she gets a flower from a magic armor and everything changes. Also, she’s a fairy.
It’s well drawn, characters all seem unique, varied and personnality-driven. The art style is beautiful. It’s also deeper than what I expected, with inklings of different types and levels of drama.
Alright, I’ll say it, it feels like a ‘promising new Lore Olympus’. By which I mean not to compare but simply to say I felt as taken by the story as I did with L.O.

Tumblr media
Facing the Sun by ArtbyTesslyn [ongoing]
Aarya reaserches the intricacies of dobotics and artificial intelligence with her companion robot Liza who's expiration is long everdue. Things change with a hardware update. One can’t live without the other, and neither can the other.
It’s dark but beautiful, both in the art and in the story. The sci-fi elements aren’t overwhelming and pieces of lore bring begin to pain a picture over time. It’s a slow burn but oh lord! if it isn’t going to be blazing hot...
I Robot/10
Tumblr media
Spellbound by Ronce [ongoing]
Eglantine joins a new highschool midyear and finds herself paired with a refractarian roommate. She does her best to fit in to her new school despite not conforming to all the expectations that others might have of her. Or of her strange but likeable roommate.
It’s a cute and queer little romance, very underrated in my opinion. The art is wonderful, it’s black and white in the beginning and starts having touches of colour here and there before going full blown coloured, and I didn’t even realize it had until many chapters into it... The characters all all diverse and interesting. Also did I forget to say it’s set in France and it’s a wizarding school? Because it is!

Tumblr media
180 Angel by King Katbird [ongoing]
Chloe is an angel, she lives in Heaven and goes to school in the hopes of becoming a delivery angel one day! However her plan are compromised by her inability to do anything well except halo manipulation. Even flying is not easy for her. But a fateful meeting with a reaper sends her on a trip to Hell and back which changes her. Or is it that she had always been different?
It may not seem much from the banner but I tried it and I got hooke. The art is great and still improves over time, the plot takes a bit of time to set in - I’m still not sure it’s fully set in yet - but it’s worth it, and the characters are visually deep. It sometimes jumps weirdly between scenes or sequences but not so much it completely loses you.

Letters on the Wall by JaelynGs [ongoing]
Tara comes back fom spain after a five years abroad to find things have changed and others haven’t, to her equal pleasure and dismay. This is how she and her friends deal with these old relatioships that they are now reviving.
Everything doesn’t go smoothly despite each and every character deserving them to. The art is good to begin with and manages to improve over time, as well as the storytelling. Where it might have been a bit hectic before, it smoothes over time. It was for the longest time the only reason I would stalk Webtoons everyday to see if there was any updates. Also each chapter has a colour in the name and that’s just cool!
If Da Yomanville Gang [see below] got me to come to Webtoons, this sealed the deal for me to stay. [And then there was Lore Olympus.]/10
Tumblr media
Not So Shoujo Love Story by Curryuku [ongoing - every Tuesday]
Rei Chan-chan loves Hansum, the chin chin chinny goodest looking student, more than she loves her shoujo manga. But gorgeous Hannah is in her way and won’t seem to let her get her way with him. Why is that? Well, gaybe there’s a secret hidden behind her motives? Read it to find out...
It’s funny, it’s cute, and it’s so, so stupid. I love them all. It’s dumb but so much fun to read. There aren’t that many chapters yet but enough to get into it. Also, sisters. (You’ll understand when you get there. Bis) So this is what the spring of youth feels like, huh...

Always Human by walkingnorth [completed]
Sunati, a young engineer in training, fan of all those mods you can add to change your appearance, meets Austen, a beautiful yet modless girl who she’s been admiring from afar for a while now. She thinks the girl’s beautiful, but sdly she’s refused when she asks her out on a date, and for rather good reasons.
Now watch as they gravitate around each other and how it influences them both.
It’s a slow-burn quite realistic lesbian sci-fi story about finding love and accepting oneself and others in the midst of life and all it brings upon us. It’s cute, it’s fluffy, and it’s heartwarming despite broaching serious subjects - in a good way -, and it’s finished so you can read the whole thing! (It has enough chapters to give you a few hours of reading)

Tumblr media
Da Yomanville Gang by Jason King [ongoing - every Tuesday]
Layla moved recently, to get away from a dose of angst she didn’t want to have to deal with. She meets new people, fun and friendly people, but it seems the angst can’t quite seem to leave her alone. Alone is what she’s not to deal with it anymore, however.
This is the one, long before Lore Olympus, which brought bme over to Webtoons. It’s not the best drawn, not the most compelling, but the strong point and what made me love it - beyond Layla’s chara design - is the depth of most of the characters, how not all good is good and all bad is bad, and reality often lies in the middle - and how they evolve over the course of the story. Definitely worth a read.

Tumblr media
Love Bot by Chase Keels and Miranda Mundt [ongoing - every Sunday]
In the near future - the year is (Blade Runner) 2049 - technology has advanced enough to creat pseudo-artificial intelligence and thus lovebots. Xada mods and repairs those emotionnaly intelligent robots for a living. What brings this story about is him toying with a less-than-friendly client’s bot so much so that he finds himself in quite a pickle when the bot ‘wakes up’.
It seems to be BL. Let it be BL, please! The art is very nice, the story feels dark but the pitch give way to many interesting possibilities, and, well, the characters are quite nice to look at, I’ll admit... Also, angst. I don’t always enjoy it but when I do, I do.
Not many chapters but it’s getting there.
i’ll let you bot my love/10
Tumblr media
Mage & Demon Queen by Color_LES [ongoing - every Thusday]
Malori is the best and the most promising mage student at her school. Aided by Cerik, her best friend and swordsman party member, she attempts to conquer the last floor of the demon tower, reigned over by the ferocious Velverosa, the demon queen, whose defeat will bring glory and richess to those who defeat her. But all is not quite as it seems and, what is that, might it be a crush I see over there? Oh, wait, no, that’s just our protagonist getting squished by the weight of her love...
Once again, it’s fun and stupid (a pattern? noooo) but it’s worth a read.

Tumblr media
Down to Earth by Pookie Senpai [ongoing - every Tuesday]
Kade live alone and depressed in spite of fleeting relatioships since his big breakup, content with simply going by life while he works in retail. One day, an alien crashes into his backyard. Zaida’s an alien but she’s cute, seems innocent, is unfamiliar with everything, so he agrees to help. Thus begins a slice of life story of them roommating in his appartment until, maybe, one of them crashes into the other’s heart?
It’s cute, heartwarming, and I sort f relate with the main character. Although I don’t know if’d prefer a cute alien, a dragon or a stalking neighbour... [that’s an inside joke, I’ll explain if I ever make a list of the good yamete onii-chan! I’ve been reading] It’s a slow burn with enough depth to hook you up. Some characters are still uncertain in my eyes but that makes me curious.

Tumblr media
The Remarried Empress by Alphatart / Sumpul [ongoing - every Wednesday and Sunday]
Navier Ellie Trovi is an empress. Perfect and perfectly content in every way with her life until the day a mistress enters her husband’s life. Things sort of go downhill from there. Or do they? For she also learns about herself and what she might actually want out of life to be happy. Breaking the status quo might be the way.
It feels like one of those poor quality isekai comics or manga in which the MC is brought back to a time where she has the power to change her life and decides for emancipation and revenge, but it’s not. It’s more ‘yolo’ and had interesting characters, especially the MC - no pushover - and a slow-burn plot. Don’t expect to see the flash-forward in the first chapter quite yet, but come to experience the whole affaire in detail and in the most satisfying of ways! Also the art is cool!

Tumblr media
Muted by Miranda Mundt [ongoing - every Friday]
On her 21st birthday, Camille fails the ritual to become a full-fledged witch and is isolated from what remains of her old and successful family. This leads to her discovering truths about herself and her powers that will change her and those around her.
By the same author as Love Bot. I haven’t read the whole thing yet but the designs are good, the plot is interesting, the characters have depth and personnality, it has witches, magic, romance [I guess, still unsure of the details though], a bit of angst, and it’s set in Louisianna. All good points.

Tumblr media
Cursed Princess Club by LambCat [ongoing - every Monday]
Gwendolyn and her sisters, each a princess in their own right, are set to be betrothed to three princes of a neighbouring country after living all their lives happy and sheltered with their father and brother. Unfortunately, Gwendolyn is not like her sisters - and brother, for that matter - in that her beauty is... less than conventionnal. Devastated by what outsiders think of her she escapes into the forest and meets kindred spirits in the form of the Cursed Princess Club - non-gendered, they also have that one prince there! - and it might just help her grow into the confident woman she is destined to become.
I clicked for the funny hahas ‘because she’s ugly’ and cursed princess trope, I stayed for the genuine laughs and smiles and the heartwarming good nature of most of te characters. Also, haha, funny characters are funny. So, yeah, I started this with a bias - still haven’t caught up yet - and have been seduced by this lesser known webtoon. Don’t let the visuals fool you, it’s really good!

Tumblr media
Andy Bass by KenneDuck / Gia [ongoing - every Friday]
Andy Bass is our average highschool girl. Litterally. She’s half human, half fish, a real mermaid but vertically. That leads to less-than-friendly looks and reactions from others. However, the arrival of a new, and frankly very cute, transfer student might change all that.
Haven’t read it all yet, not that there are many chapters out, but it feel fun and promising. Also, physically imperfect characters are best characters. Down with the reign of beauty and up with 𝔠𝔬𝔪𝔪𝔲𝔫𝔦𝔰𝔪!

For the Sake of Sita by Haga [completed]
A medical student passionately falls in love with a fallen goddess during his volunteer abroad in Nepal, and he desperately tries to fight off destiny to save his love. [the actual summary]
Okay, I’ll be honest: I haven’t quite read that one yet. I’m guilty of only having looked at the beginning and the end to see if it seemed worth it and, oh my gorsh! it does. The art is beautiful, the story seems sad yet beautiful too (I had tears reading the last chapters without knowing much of the rest) and it’s short, so jump on it!
[I’ll probably come back to that later when I’ve actually read it completely]/10
Tumblr media
Us Right Now by yurineseventeen [ongoing]
Rina's long-term girlfriend, Noa, decides to run away from home. Rina has limited time to find her.
Not much more to say other than it’s sweet and it feels real. I like the beginning, haven’t read the rest yet, but will definitely soon.
keep going/10
Tumblr media
New Normal: Class 8 by Youngpaka [ongoing - every Sunday]
Dongwoon has a big head. It does not make life easy. But what if he wasn’t alone being so... different? He discovers it is the case when he joins his new school a special class full of people who are different. Things get weird fast but also better and fun.
I haven’t read this in a long time, it’s on my list though. But until the moment I stopped at least, it was fun, funny, and interesting. It’s slice-of-life comedy, often ligthearted and stupid, sometimes more serious, but globally a pleasure to read.

Tumblr media
The Witch and The Bull by Moonsia [ongoing - every Thursday]
Tan's job as the King's royal advisor has nothing to do with his hatred for witches, but it does make him a prime target for a curse that turns him into a BULL! The only way to undo this hex is to rely on the beautiful witch, Aro. Can her kindness turn his feelings around, and break this spell? [the actual summary]
There are two bulls and they have to ask it questions to know which is the real bull? I dunno, I haven’t read this one... But it’s been recommnded by @berigolote​ so it’s worth a try I guess? She did recommend Lore Olympus to me, so it’s on my list anyway.

The Right Knight and Our Days in Lumain by buttersphere [completed & ongoing]
A fun short comic about a play on the ‘knight comes to fight dragon to save princess in her tower’ trope and it’s sequel. The sequel is not finished yet (seems on hiatus) but they are worth the read for cute, funny, fluffy knight and dragon/witch romance and grumpy princesses.

NetOL by Forever9Nine [completed]
A slice of life comic about a veeery shy cat-girl (not literally) falling in love with a warm-tempered bookshop employee ( and NOT her colleague), and all the shenanigans that ensue. It’s short, it’s fun, and it’s cute. What more to ask?

Susuhara is a Demon by Soya S. Holm [ongoing]
The usual romance storyof perfectly perfect girl meets absolutely bazongers delinquent and reluctantly carries her unconscious ass to her appartment to help her after witnessing a gang fight between multiple idiots and her (future) idiot and saving her from a knife attack by bashing the last standing dude with a wooden shop sign. Legend says there’s a demon in K-city, I still am unsure of whom it might be.

It Stems From Love by Soya S. Holm [competed]
A short story about a girl who loves flowers and finds herself unexpectedly coughing them up dramatically whenever she’s jealous of those around her crush. It’s short, it’s cute, a bit dark at times, but definitely worth a read!

Lesbiampires by fabarts [ongoing]
So, yeah, lesbian vampires. Nuffin’ ta add.
Well, anyway, it’s cute, it’s funny, it’s serious too, it makes me root for antihero type characters who actually murder people for fun (but in a fun and respectful way, I swear!) because, well, love./10
Tumblr media
Perfect Harmony by bluebloodtanuki [ongoing]
An Overwatch fan-comic about Symmetra and her disaster roommates.

Love Doesn’t Talk by Ann [completed?]
A misunderstanding is fine. Two? Hmmm. Three? Surely that’s fate, no?

Sunflower by EtoileKonijn [ongoing]
Wednesday, an art student, meets Sophie, a friend of a friend. Feelings ensue. It’s beginning to have a good number of chapters (even if they are short) and it feels like it’s actually the slowest burn of them all. Very much worth a read though, for the art style especially.

Tumblr media
It Takes Two by love_of_pi [ongoing]
Common art style: imperfect but improving. Classic story: normal girl meets famous girl by accident and leave a great first impression. Shenanigans and romance ensue. However the tints of drama, the fun interaction between characters, and the smooth plot make it worth it.

A Mild Flavor by Ru-rin [ongoing]

The Greenhouse by Viesallon [ongoing]

My Masochistic Boss by Arisas_Art [ongoing]

Half-zombie girl meets emo boy, baby ensues.
After the zombie apocalypse, they have to survive, and despite their differences, maybe together is better?

And there you go for now. These are my picks. I haven’t read everything on Webtoon, I haven’t even read everything I’ve subscribed to, but if I had to recommend anything I have tasted, here it is.
Sorry if I missed any you deem worthy; feel free to harass me and mock my lack of culture by flaunting your own.
Maybe more later, in the mean time: keep scrolling, scrub!

She first started out playing volleyball at a young age and still continues to play it to this day, the reason is unknown why she plays volleyball.
Appearance:
Kato is a slightly tall first-year girl with a fit toned muscular body, Unlike most charter, Kato doesn't have a particular aura she is seen to be calm and friendaly most off the time, but when provoked or annoyed she is shown to have a more intimidating aura than Kageyama which can be highlighted and shown on her scowl face and piercing cold eyes, which gives off a look as if she is going to murder someone.  She has black medium length hair with bangs that cover up most of her eyebrows and often has it lose, but when at practice or during games she has her hair ties up in a high ponytail. Her typical attire consists of either her school uniform or practice clothes.
Background
Kato started taking interest in volleyball during her second late year in elementary school, after finding some of her mother's old photos. Since than Kato took interest in the sport and started playing volleyball by herself in her backyard. Her brothers would sometimes assist her with her play, but would oftentimes be busy with there own sports.
After meeting Iwaizumi and getting saved by him from her neighborhood boys who bully her. Kato, later on, met Sayuri a new transfer student at her school, seeing how the girl was new Kato decided to befriend her and show her around. But when she sawed her getting bullied by a few of her neighborhood boys, she decided to take Iwaizumi's word into action and beat the hell out of her neighborhood boys, without realizing her strength. Since then the neighborhood boys where no terrified off her because they just turn a shy girl into a beast.
Ever since that situation happend, Kato ended up becoming less bullied and more of a person who was scarry. She ended up getting nicknamed the Raven beast of terror by most of the neighborhood boys because, she was now like her older brother Takaro, hot-tempered and scary looking.
After befriending Sayuri, Kato found out that she was in the same neighborhood as Iwaizumi wanting to see the guy who gave her confidence and not be afraid to stand up for herself she decided to hang out with Sayuri in her neighborhood. There she met Oikawa being impressed by his volleyball skills Kato pleaded Oikawa to teach her how to play because she had a hard time finding a mentor or learning how to serve.
Not wanting to teach the young girl, Kato ends up asking Yurika for help in volleyball because all Oikawa ever did was made her be his ball girl while he practiced. Seeing how Kato loved the sport, Yurika end's up teaching Kato how to play volleyball, all though Yurika would often play volleyball with Oikawa and Iwaizumi, she would sometimes ask Oikawa if Kato could join them.
All though Kato did join them, the situation would be quickly changed by Oikawa saying that she can't be on a team unless she show's aggression, which she does show later on by severing the volleyball towards Oikawa’s face out off dispute anger because she was getting tired of him criticizing her.
Oikawa, being the egocentric self, found Kato's weakness which was her temper to prove herself, worth. Whenever they played volleyball he would try his best to rile her up whether she was on his team or not, he knew that her pride and anger was her weakness. Seeing how Oikawa was bullying and tormenting Kato both Yurika and Iwaizumi knew that the next serve Kato was serving was gonna send Oikawa straight to the hospital if he didn't stop his attitude. Seeing how this situation was continuing towards there later years and not getting better. Yurika decided to give Kato a pep talk before she entered Junior high seeing how short-tempered Kato was, Yurika knew that Kato will have a bad path in volleyball if she kept this type off altitude.
When Yurika, Iwaizumi and Oikawa reached Junior high, Kato started to realize their friendship started to fade and fade away, not wanting them to break there friendship because of Oikawa's stupid antics off how Yurika was a traitor just because her father wanted to her to go Shiratorizawa junior high, she tried her best to make things neutral between them,  that way no fights and arguments would arise, but that didn't start to end well for them. By the time Kato's entered her first year in junior high, it was clear that she had potential that would be much greater than other players on her team including Yurika the one who taught her how to play volleyball. However, Kato's exceptional abilities and knowledge of consideration for others and their struggle allowed her to become a favorable setter by those around her, she earned the nickname "Ms. know it all setter", because she was able to bring the best in all her teammates no matter what there flaws where even though she was a stubborn protectionist.   Since her true meaning nickname was meant as a playful joke by her teammates as to how she was able to control her, teammates and show good leadership. Outside players assume that it was something bad but after a press review from her coach it was stated that her nickname given by her teammate was meant as a playful joke because she knew how to bring the best out of the people. During her first year of Junior high, Kato meet Kageyama at the junior high athlete meet, after accidentally bumping into him due to her droping her phone, and him returning it to herm the two later start to discover that they a lot in common than they have ever realized, the main one was how Oikawa being a huge jerk towards them. But after finding out that Oikawa, Iwaizumi and Yurika slipt there ways, Kato felt a bit pressured on how she was going to be dealing with the situation now that her Senpai splatted. By the time her third of Junior high, Kato's ability with her teammates have grown to the point where they made it to nationals during their second year. During Kitagawa Daiichi and Yukigaoka Match Kato was impressed at Hinata's jumping ability all though his wing spiker technic was poor he had potential to grow, but ever since that match, Kato started to get a bit worried about Kageyama seeing how bad his behavior was Kato was shocked to see the setter being benched during there later on games when confronting him what was wrong, Kageyama pushed Kato off saying nothing was wrong and she should mind her own business
At some point during the junior high national competitions in her third year, Kato ends up passing out on the court due to severely pushing her body off its limits and falling into cardiac arrest, which leads her teammates and her best friends into a state of panic because they taught they were going to lose her. During, present-day, Kato tries her best to not push her body too far as she did in her third year in junior high but since choosing Karasuno and realizing that all lot of the girls lacked potential due to there lack practice, Kato knew she had to break that promise and work hard for herself and team.
Statistic:
Power: 4/5 Jumping: 4/5 Stamina: 4/5 Game sense:  5/5 Technique: 5/5 Speed: 4/5
Being nicknamed the "Raven beast off terror" by her neighborhood boys and "Ms. Know it all setter", by her former teammates, as talented all-rounder setter and player, Kato has the potential to unify and lead her team with her overwhelming talents, all through she is able to communicate properly with her team and get them going threw the game. She never insists on how she feels and keeps her emotions towards herself. The only time she would show off her anger and control attitude when her teammates were not practicing all though Kato never experienced this during her junior high years, but when she came to Karasuno she tried her best to control her anger and temper around them, but ever since the inter-high she's expressed emotions off anger and controlling making her teammates think that she was now turning into the new king off the court. But after some time she quickly calms down and apologized, towards her teammates during the spring high saying that she was sorry because she was put under so much pressure by a lot of people. Asides from her being a really good setter, Kato has incredible game sense and speed, which allows her to play other positions including Wing-spiker and middle blocker, but she chose to play the setter position because it allows her the control and helps others at the same time. In addition to her skills, Kato can play other positions such as the wing spiker, middle blocker, and pinch server, since she has been playing volleyball since her early years of primary. But decided to choose the setter position during middle school, when her coach kept positioning her as a setter, do to her bringing out the best in her team.
Height and reach
Fingertip height: 208 cm
Jumping Reach: 330 cm (spike) / 310 cm (block)
Skills
Pinpoint Accuracy Kato is able to accurately throw and hit the perfect toss for her spikers anywhere on the court.
Overhand serve: Kato has a powerful overhand serve that her opponents are aware of and made comments about it being similar to Oikawa's Jump serve. All tho her overhand serve is'nt, strong as Oikawa's it is close to his range to a mimic of his jump serve.
Jump serve All though Kato has a good strong jump serve she, struggles to keep the aim off the ball in her opponent's side and thus causes the ball to go out, due to her strength. But during training camp before the nationals, she was able to perfect her jump serve aim, but still maintains to struggle a bit with the force because if you push or throw too hard, it goes out and if you try to aim it properly it might not have that much of a strong impact.
Outside setter: One of the most difficult sets, move Kato said she had performed. This move was originally made by accident during the Karasuno girl's high team aginst Shirato girls match. Kato performed this move by trying her best to save the ball from going in, due to quick hesitation the setter set from outside the court where the ball was going to go out. Seeing that the ball was back up it allowed Sasaki to spike the ball all through the spike was blocked it was still back up do to the team's consistent fit off keeping the ball up. All tho this was one of hardest moves to perform she tries her best to improve on the move by calculating how high or low she should set the ball.
Two setter attack Kato also has a sharp straight spike, which allows her to act as an extra wing spiker on the right side when her teammate Aoki is used as a setter.
Perfect set Her best toss is known as the perfect set, which allows her spikers to hit effortlessly unlike Atsumu who toss the ball to create an illusion, Kato, on the other hand, increases the difficulty of her sets thus creating improvement for spikers and there ablity yo get used to different type of sets.
Observant Perception Growing up with five older brothers who all played sports have given Kato an advantage to observe her opponents really well, due to helping out her brothers and watching them practice she was able to pick up a good game sensing ability before she even joined a team, as a result, she was able to read her opponents moves and emotions much like Oikawa how he was able to read Kageyama and Hinata's strategy on their god-like quick.
Trivia:
Favorite food: Shabu-shabu
Current Concern: She is insecure about her breast size
Kato wears black volleyball shoes with and dark blue-grey accents.
Kato has been playing volleyball since second year of Primary school.
She is the only female child out of 6 children and is the youngest out, of all her siblings.
Kato is extremely smart in both her studies and her volleyball ability.
Before choosing Karasuno, Kato got accepted to the top girl's volleyball school's ( Seijou, Niiyama,) but decline them all because she felt like if she where to go to any of those school she will be betraying her senpai's and friends and that will cause a lot of drama for her than she already has.
Kato might be the only female child but she has 5 older brothers who are extremely overprotective of her, during Kato's middle school days she brought over Kageyama to her house to hang out only for him to be attacked and frightened by her older brother Takaro.
The quotes that are mention on Kato's relationship with Katsuro and Hiroaki takes place in her childhood.
Kato currently lives with 3 of her older brother's instead of 5 because the other two already were married and have started there own Carrere's while the other's are just finishing up there university's.
Kato is the same height as Noya and Michiyama.
Due to growing up with 5 brothers Kato is a bit more boyish than girly and prefers to wear sports clothes than skirts and dresses.
Kato's father work as a Deputy Chief director at Sendai's metro police station.
She shares the same jersey number as Enoshita, Yahaba, Fukunaga, Futakuchi, and Kanoka Amanai.

Savin’s Answers from Twitter, Part 3!
Well, looks like it’s been nearly 2 years since the last SAfT post... sorry about that! Time really got away from me on this one. Due to the backlog, this post covers tweets from October 2017 through April 2018
As always, tweets are in order from most to least recent, and answers may not 100% true/canon since things may change during production of the sequel. Text is unedited save for formatting; in a few places I added [comments] for context.
Part 1 | Part 2
Also: If you’re going to ask Savin something, please be respectful and appropriate. He’s a person just like you and me.
@fictionjustis: Out of curiosity can a Nourasian and human have a child together? Also can humans conceive children with other humanoid species in the galaxy?
@EiffelSavin: I don't think any such birth have been recorded in the Oban universe, at least yet. But humans and Nourasians having a very similar DNA, it should be theoretically possible. There have been quite a few fanarts on that topics already 🙂
(x)
@PudgyDragonLair: Also how big is the Arrow in comparison to Molly like actually height and length?‏
@EiffelSavin: From my original notes: Whizzing Arrow 1 - length 8m, height 7m, weight 10t Whizzing Arrow 2 - length 10m, height 7m, weight 14t to be compared with the final designs
(x)
@PudgyDragonLair: hey Savin I'm not sure if this would be considered a spoiler or not but how Long are Nourasian life spans in comparison to humans and other alien species?
@EiffelSavin: I'm not sure anymore. I'd have to find my old notes... But if Nourasians approximately live the same number of "years" as humans, they are "Nourasian years" which are much longer  than our "Earth years" due to the longer distance between Nourasia and its sun. May be 2 or 3 times+
(x)
@JPLangley_: Something I've been wanting to ask is how was Eva able to get away with not following the gender-specific dress code at Stern? Did faculty just give up trying to discipline her since she nor Don didn't care?
@EiffelSavin: I think my justification for that was that Stern's school rules only stated that wearing the school uniform was compulsory, without specifically mentioning that the short dress was for girls and the long pants for boys. Also they had bigger issues with Eva than just her uniform.
(x)
@PudgyDragonLair: what was the Arrows original purpose before Don and the Goverment took it ? Me and my friend rewatched OSR and we noticed alot of things that would be atypical for a Star Racer (key among them a gun turrent ). Was the Arrow made to be some kind of stealth ship?
@PudgyDragonLair: It has capabilities to check Molly vitals and mental state while she s racing, as well as the hyperdldrives which I doubt would be allowed in racing circuits, and a remote access to the gun torrent, and hand off access shoukd the pilot be unable to man it.
@EiffelSavin: You got a point there. For better or worse army funding helps develop new technologies that are later reintroduced into civilian life/products. The "prototypes" Miguel had been working were not your typical star-racer and aimed at a different market...
(x)
[continued from thread below]
@Helloworld1012: And the fact that Eva was a beautiful young girl certainly didn’t hurt
@EiffelSavin: Yes but more than that the fact that she's not your typical girly girl beauty. A long haired bimbo would not have awoken  Aikka's interest.
(x)
@ILOVE659709491: Is there any chance one of the reasons Eva was so quick to trust & befriend Aikka was because the prince’s personality was similar to her father’s personality before Maya’s death? Both were reserved,well cultured & gentlemanly but kind + both had a passion for racing
@EiffelSavin: Freud would like the implications no doubt, but I think the relationship with Aikka is more simple and direct. He's good looking, a prince, well mannered. She's feels rejected  - especially by her dad - a bit of an "Ugly Duckling" and he takes an interest in her.
@ILOVE659709491: I’m curious though why was Aikka interested in Eva ?
@EiffelSavin: Just as he's the opposite of what she's known, she's a total opposite for him: tough, outspoken, pure - and touching. The noble girls he's met in Nourasia's palaces were not like that!
(x)
@JPLangley_: Also, unrelated question, but if the second season of Oban does ever make it to the public, will it explore what happened to Thunderbolt and Jordan after the events of OSR?
@EiffelSavin: Can't guarantee both...
(x)
@JPLangley_: Did Spirit originally have wings, and him transforming into a bird was a second thought?
@EiffelSavin: The concept was always that he would transform into his own ship but judging by Thomas's drawing I guess we tried more classic wings first.
(x)
@Helloworld1012: Stern boarding school prided itself on disciplining their students what did they mean by discipline? Also, considering DW’s personality before Maya’s death seems to have a anime rich kid with controlling parents background vibe to it, what social class was DW born to
@EiffelSavin: In my view, Don Wei comes from a modest background. Being a self made man he can be very demanding, expecting from others to obey the rules he's imposed on himself in order to succeed. Maya and young Eva soothed him up, but that went away after Maya's death
@Helloworld1012: Yeah but everything else about him doesn’t seem like he’s a self made man. Or just a selfmade man. It got to me, he’s still young when Maya died & also it’s possible that he could have grown up rich & still be a self made man because his parents gave up on him.‏
@EiffelSavin: That could also be possible yes I put him out there, but you're totally untitled to make him yours now !  🙂
(x)
@ardaozcan98: Did you get any inspiration from B-2 Spirit aircraft while designing Spirit in OSR or is the resemblence just a coincidence?
@EiffelSavin: Interesting. I came up with the name without being aware of the connection & I don't think the plane was ever a reference for the design, but we should ask @thomasintokyo and @Brunetstanilas too.  As you can see below (2002 rough by Thomas) Spirit went through a lot of phases
@Thomasintokyo: Never heard of this plane. That’s a coincidence!
(x)
@emaf_CntCmnd: I wonder if you have known who works for BANDAI VISUAL and helps to release Japanese ver. of BD like Mr.Takanashi Minoru. (I wish he were still alive.)‏
@EiffelSavin: Mr. Takanashi disappearance came as a terrible shock. But we're working on establishing new connections with Bandaï.
(x)
@ardaozcan98: Do you consider producing comic books or novels instead or alongside with the sequel. There are lots of unknowns and potential for backstories of the galaxy and species i think. And books may be cheaper or easier to create. Loved the original art-book.
@EiffelSavin: That's not a bad idea. Any talented manga-comic book artists interested around here ? 🙂
(x)
@Valeria_Lacava: Could you do something for the italian rights? Jetix closed and it's impossible to find online the episodes in italian
@EiffelSavin: STW doesn't own those rights but we'll try to negotiate them if Disney agrees and if this can be done within the bluray budget.
(x)
@Helloworld1012: How was Don Wei able to pay the financial cost to form a race team with Maya and make her a champion? Race teams cost a fortune, but sponsorship was unlikely since DW stated & the timeline shows Maya was the first person he was a manager to, so he had no credibility.
@EiffelSavin: Mostly true but not completely true. If things were always so then I would never have been able to produce Oban Star-Racers, having no hard cash of my own, and having never produced nor directed an entire series before 🙂
(x)
@dragbax: Do you have any idea how big of an impact this show had on me as a kid??? Plz don't disappoint me of backing down or handle it poorly... My heart can't handle that. Especially how Samurai Jack was treated with its last season.  :(
@EiffelSavin: It may still be a long road ahead, especially since we don't intend to sell out, but I can promise we'll do our best!
(x)
@Helloworld1012: I’m curious did Don Wei stop caring about Eva after Maya died? I mean he did abandon her just for resembling her mother & tried to forget she even existed for 10 years and would have CONTINUED to do so Had Eva not done anything about it, so did he stop caring?‏
@EiffelSavin: He tried to forget so well that he almost completely did
@Helloworld1012: Wait, doesn’t that basically mean that yes Don Wei did  stop caring about Eva once her mother died?‏
@EiffelSavin: Yes basically (what an awful dad!). Seeing Eva reminded him too much of Maya and of his guilt. He couldn't bare it and walked away, at least until he was ready to face her again.
(x)
@n0sichan: I hope subtitles  for disabled peope will be available this time.
@EiffelSavin: If we have enough presales yes
(x)
@MattGiusti: What is your thought process when it comes to animating characters speaking?Do you need to keep in mind how other languages will line up to the animation?Or do you do everything with one language in mind and alter the script accordingly later on?
@EiffelSavin: One concentrates on one main language. On Oban i wrote all scripts directly in English and the lip sink was based on those. But then i spent a whole month in front of an editing machine rewriting french dialogues that matched that lipsink
(x)
@McKhendon: How do you accomplish 16:9 without losing parts of the picture?
@EiffelSavin: You're bound to loose part of the picture but if you address the process creatively you can produce new strong images by selecting shot by shot what u keep & what you discard
@SonicMrgame2017: The show was made on 16.9?
@EiffelSavin: No, in 4/3. It was still the transition period between the 2 formats at the time and our investors required 4/3. The remastered 16/9 version was done this year, reframing the original master shot by shot under my supervision.
(x)
@ardaozcan98: All the dubs would be really nice especially for children.
@EiffelSavin: We'll see if something can be done but it sounds complicated. Sav The World doesn't own the rights of these other versions.
(x)
@Wnika457: Is it possible that the online game wil be reopened? That would be awesome, I remember playing it when I was a kid :)
@EiffelSavin: That would be cool but we don't have the rights nor even a copy. But there'll be other games if we manage to pull through the sequel project
(x)
@RadekFalhar: I just found out you are making Saya no Uta adaptation. I really hope you don't think the abortion that is the US manga is in any way related to the VN.
@EiffelSavin: The US comic probably had good intentions but turned Saya into smthng very different & sometimes opposite to what it is. The adaptation I work on also take liberties with the original material, but I try to remain very faithful to its spirit & to the mindset of the characters
(x)
@lilacwondercat: Is there really a sequel in the works? I am such a huge fan, please say it's true!
@EiffelSavin: It's true but still a long to go. Creation takes time and the financing is the most pressing issue...
@lilacwondercat: Is there anything die hard fans can do to help?
@EiffelSavin: Most certainly though I can't think of anything precise right now. Helping spreading the word about the bluray is one though. The more people buy it, the stronger we can be when talking to potential financial partners.
(x)
@Ekana_Stone: Does Blu-ray have the English dub, I would assume so
@EiffelSavin: Yes, French and English language are guaranteed. We would like to add Japanese too but there are question of rights we must try to sort out.
(x)
@fictionjustis: Considering the fact that Oban star racers indeed had Japanese influence, I’m curious did u base Maya’s character design on a character from sailor moon, ( The 1990s version not the 2010s version) a well known anime & manga?
@EiffelSavin: Maya's character design clearly has anime influences but it was developed organically, drawing after drawing. It was not influenced by one show in particular.
(x)
@Zeether77: Would love to see this on Blu-ray here, but not cropped to widescreen...does Shout Factory still have the rights?
@EiffelSavin: DVD & Bluray rights have reverted to us
@Zeether77: Would the BD release be a limited time thing? I just got a player but I don't think I could commit to a preorder sadly
@EiffelSavin: Can't confirm right now
(x)
@ILOVE659709491: I’m trying to figure out what it is exactly because he [Savin] could be saying that the wei surname was meant to be Chinese or DW was Chinese but I just can’t figure out what it is, & unfortunately for some reason it has been driving me crazy yesterday so what is it in that question?‏
@EiffelSavin: Don Wei is of Chinese origin or at least his family is
(x)
@sergeigaponov: #obanstarracers Could you write a list of countries in which you can send blu-ray Oban: Star Racers?
@EiffelSavin: Too early to confirm but my guess would be in all countries.
(x)
@Nick_Kharin: How much can Blu-ray boxset will cost (approximately or the maximum price)? I’m very excited about the news about the project.
@EiffelSavin: Still evaluating.
(x)
@Adultito: Will the Blu Ray have the Japanese audio and the original OP+ED
@EiffelSavin: Japanese audio we'll try. There could be pbs of rights. French and English at the minimum.
@Adultito: speaking of Japanese audio, will there be the original OP "Chance to Shine" (shown in most international broadcasts) on the English dub because the US broadcast (as well as the Shout Factory DVDs) used "Never Say Never"
@EiffelSavin: We have the rights to all the original songs and tracks but not to "Never Say Never" which was produced by the US broadcaster of Oban. So we would use "Chance to Shine" for the opening.
(x)
@Maj0r_Crisis: Will we ever see a release of the cancelled second volume of the Original Soundtrack?
@EiffelSavin: If we have enough preorders, one of our plans is to add most of or even all of Iwazaki Taku's 80 original tracks as a bonus to the bluray edition
(x)
@delicatedowner: I wish you good fortune on making the blu-ray release a reality (will your company self-publish the BDs like with Ankama and their Wafku sets?).
@EiffelSavin: We may self publish too but could go the kickstaryer way. Unlike us Ankama is a rich company!
@delicatedowner: Even Ankama went the Kickstarter way.  And it backfired on them.  I hope you'll do a better job.
@EiffelSavin: We'll see. But if you meant "selfpublish" as in "creating the design packaging etc" ourselves, yes that would be the plan. We have some good people we can work with.
(x)
@nothisiswindii: Do you think you guys should make a 4:3 aspect ratio version of the Blu-ray? A lot of studios tend to simply "zoom in" their old shows to fake a 16:9 ratio, and they end up losing a lot of detail on the top and bottom as a result.
@EiffelSavin: Probably but it's something we'll discuss with all those who register with the Oban Bluray project when the times comes. In all cases, I can guarantee the 16/9 remaster is not a "zoom in". We took care of things on a shot by shot basis (see the video on http://obanstarracers.com )
@docsane: I'm curious: why was Oban not originally shot 16:9? I thought it was unusual at the time to still see an animation being released 4:3.
@EiffelSavin: Oban was signed just at the time when productions were beginning to shift from 4/3 to 16/9. But our financial partners asked for 4/3 so we produced and delivered 4/3.
(x)
@harpnote: The new site looks slick! I am sad the forums are no longer up. It was a good time there.
@EiffelSavin: We have the copies. We may put them back online but already have our hands full right now
(x)
@MattGiusti: Will [OSR] HD be exclusively a blue ray release? Or can one buy a digital version online?
@EiffelSavin: The first goal is the bluray release.
(x)
@ILOVE659709491: Considering Wei is a Chinese surname & with the exception of his temper DW’s manners and taste indicate a certain upbringing is there a possibilty that Don is the son of a high class family in Asia and he moved to America or Europe because of his passion for racing?
‏@EiffelSavin: In spite of the obvious connection with Japanese anime, Wei is a Chinese name indeed and it was meant that way.
(x)
@sergeigaponov: There are no such scenes [dramatic scenes in children’s shows], because people are interested in toilet humor. The time has already passed when people cried over such scenes. There are few people who are crying. I hope in the #second #season of the drama will be more, because #Eva has matured.
@EiffelSavin: If it 's only up to me I'll say definitely yes and in all cases that what we want to aim for. This said, I have a feeling traditional broadcasters are targeting younger and younger audiences and aim even more for comedy than before.
(x)
@ILOVE659709491: Considering Maya was DW's first champion, DW  stated her charm was her recklessness, That Maya seemed to be more dominant in the relationship, & considering DW's and Maya's personalities in the past is it possible Maya introduced Don to the racing world?
@EiffelSavin: Interesting thought. But I'd say no. Don Wei was born to be a race manager.
(x)
@lbigreyhound: Any idea when and where it [the HD remaster] will be available?
@EiffelSavin: The new HD master will be used in future broadcasts of OSR, at least one of whitch is planned for 2018. When we go ahead with our plans for a bluray relase, we may use it as well, or else chose to stick with the original 4/3 format.
(x)
@ILOVE659709491: so I’m curious, what inspired the idea for OSR I’m super excited for the sequel but I am curious on what inspired the idea for OSR 2 Since it’s been over a decade since OSR?
@EiffelSavin: The 10 year anniversary of the first release brought the original artistic team together. We all thought it would be nice to look back at the world we created.
(x)
[Not sure who he’s replying to here, but the question seems to be about Maya’s race with Spirit]
@EiffelSavin: If I remember correctly there just wasn't enough time and she gestured Spirit to stand out of arm's way.
(x)
@RedVioletPanda: Why is the Holy of Dol, well, holy? In the artbook, there is a mention of elemental magic of the Nourasians, what is that exactly?
@EiffelSavin: Nourasian are close to nature. Magic and the use of natural ressources more than makes up for the lack of technology. As for elemental magic its source of power is nature itself.
(x)
[Again, not sure who he’s replying to]
@EiffelSavin: We continue to work on dvlpmnt but it's a costly project & bringing the right financial partners together is the long and uncertain part...

Allen’s Rambling: Why Power Levels Exist
You know... I was originally going to make this Rambling about RPing villains, creating conflict, and the general staleness of most RP interactions on Tumblr, but... then I started to talk about power levels and... I have to talk about this now. Like, I seriously need to talk about this in depth. I need to just get my thoughts out and really explain why I hate dealing with this Power Levels nonsense. It’s the reason I avoid most Canon RP communities, it’s the reason I’m so damn picky about who I interact with in the first place nowadays, it’s the reason I do a lot of the things I do in terms of RPing from how I write my OCs to how I do my profiles. So... let’s talk about this for a bit.
Also, after editing this Rambling 50 times I’m just gonna’ break this down parts so I don’t end up with a 30 paragraph essay that takes 3 months. That... wouldn’t really work on Tumblr, so... yeah.
Just to clarify, when I say “Power Levels” I don’t mean the actual level of a character’s power. That’s part of it, but this is a just a catch-all term I use for the general debates, arguments, and hostility that comes from discussing a character’s battle strength, be it Canon or OC. I get annoyed by this because of the type of RPer I am. As I have said many, many times, I’m a huge fan of shounen/battle anime and manga. I love action media in general. It actually sparked me to take actual martial art classes in my childhood, but I won’t go into further detail on my life here (it ain’t munday yet after all). 
I think before I talk about why I hate Power Levels, I should explain why they’re even a thing in the first place. After all, there is a reason they exist. As a writer, I don’t have an issue with power levels on the surface. It’s handy to have a tier list of which characters are stronger than which, who can soundly beat who in a fight. It’s just a handy writing tool to have. Being able to define that with an overall number score helps when you have a series focused on battle and one-on-one combat. Having that tier list publicized can be... irritating depending on how you do it, but it’s overall not a bad idea.
As an role-player, this handy tool can become an annoying crutch for anyone wanting to do action scenes and fight narratives when applied in the wrong area. Having a score number to show your character’s combat ability can work will in a group or Forum RP where everyone follows the same rules of physics and reality. That helps when finding opponents, planning out fights, and can allows for some more fun stuff to happen when making a narrative. In fact, I was (and partially still am) a part of an RP forum that focuses on combat and fight narratives. Now I won’t link that forum since it’s a +18 site, but we use a sort of power scale for our characters and it works well because everyone is on the same level of physics and reality. We know what a 10 is compared to a 1. That way, we can easily plot and compare characters, form ideas for the fight, figure out who would win, things like that. 
In a free-form RP site like Tumblr this just doesn’t work. Everyone’s character is following different rules of reality. Everyone’s character comes from a different universe in a sense. Using this blog as an example, Claudia is from a basic D&D-esque world where magic and stuff exist with a bit a ancient hi-tech stuff  from long-lost civilizations. Think a mix of Tales of Symphonia and Elsword if any of you are familiar with those two series. On this blog, Claudia is dealing humanoid aliens, dimension hopping witches, power-hungry demon wolves, and those are just the people I’m actively RPing with. There was that time she tried (and failed) to fight a living goddess, ran into Buddy from Lisa, not to mention all the Fate blogs. That’s... a lot for a 5′2″ knight to deal with. Compared to all of those guys, she’d be a 4 at best. And... while I can personally turn that into a good fight narrative, I can’t see that being fun to do it constantly. Now I trust most of my partners to... well, not smear my 5′2″ Useless Lesbian against the wall, but that mostly comes from me being so picky with who I follow.
My point being, Power Levels aren’t a good tool for Tumblr with how free form it is. For group RPs, yeah it works fine, but outside of that... not really.
Alright, first official Rambling on Power Levels is officially done. And as I edited this, I realize my issue really isn’t so much Power Levels, but writing a decent fight narrative. So... these Ramblings might take a different turn of events now...
I’ve got a loooong series of essays ahead of me.
