I get the urge to pinch Iori's mole sometimes.

New key visual from the website:

That's pretty disappointing for a key visual art.

The moe effect doesn't work with the guys? lol

[winhlp32]

It does look a bit like the artists doesn't put in as much effort on coloring the guys than the girls.

Okay good it wasn't just me thinking that . I'm still watching the series since it looks good and silver link generally puts out good stuff it was just something i noticed in both the key visual art and the shots from the mags.

Hokagou Tea Time, my friend. The character designer for the novel is actually K-on's head Character Designer under a penname. Thus, the similarities.

Hokagou, Houkago, Haukagu whatever, is he/she also involved with the Sora no Woto designs?

Here's how it goes...

K-On Character Design = Kokoro Connect (the LN)'s illustrator/"Original" Character Design (Horiguchi Yukiko)
Sora no Woto Character Design = Kokoro Connect (the anime)'s Character Design (Akai Toshifumi). Sora no Woto's original character design is actually by Kishida Mel.

And according to Akai's Wikipedia entry (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B5%...BF%8A%E6%96%87), Akai respect Horiguchi (to the point that Akai has used "Horiguchi-kami" in his work), hence the similarity.

What's the story about? Straight-up love pentagon with body swap gimmick? I guess I'll have to pass then if it is. I like reading straight-up love story in manga, but watching it in anime or LN is just too excruciating for me due to the slow pace XD

[pinoscotto]

watched the 10 min. pre-air (the quality was really bad) and it was pretty good

No, it doesn't appear to be like that at all.

Spoiler for 3 chapters of manga and half an episode of anime:

Through 3 chapters of the manga and half the first ep of the anime, there is merely a hint of one member feeling something for another, and that is rejected out of hand. Actually, this far in, I'm not sure where the story is really going. There are multiple possibilities, and the situation may be somewhat darker than I expected.

And I'm enjoying it so far.

By the way, houkago is hou-ka-go: 放課後 "release-class-after," the normal Japanese word for "after school." The K-On band "Houkago Teatime" is "after-school tea-time."
