So glad they changed Naoto's original looks to something a bit more female like because that bottom picture is pretty creepy.

I do like the no hat school uniform and no jacket detective clothes looks, though.

Yes, I loved the original design as well.

Thanks for the translations.
So Naoto was supposed to be a "pretty-boy", eh?

naoto is a girl

Yes, but according to the designer note in the bottom left corner, she was originally supposed to be a 'pretty-boy', but they made him too pretty, so they just changed him to a girl.
Thank god they did.

If Naoto was supposed to be a "pretty-boy," how do you guys think the whole interaction with Kanji would've been like? Maybe Kanji got the wrong idea and was turned down when they rescued Naoto... But then, what about the other times when Kanji still looks romantically interested in Naoto?

I'll just think they didn't have any of that set in stone yet |D

Am I the only one who likes the suspenders version at the bottom?

No. No you are not.

Though the expression on the middle bottom one looks like it belongs on a character in the Cthulhu mythos.

Yeah, Naoto looks pretty freaked out. I, too, love the suspenders.

hmm... the original design for naoto still looks like a guy to me. but again the little adjustment (im guessing in the facial structure) makes a large difference.

Naoto looked a bit like Minato Arisato in the middle bottom pic.
