Pictures are fine just don't let her take you on any trains.

When i first saw this headline I legitimately got the desire to go to Fukuoka. I mean, I wanted to go there already, but I think it just shows that for some people this sort of marketing works really well.

And if I was in Japan I would be one of the first running up for that picture. I'm curious to see if maybe there will be an original Matsumoto picture for the postcards.

There's a reason why she's standing in Fukuoka, but...she can't tell you the reason just yet. Anime cry
It's something you'll understand when you reach the end of your journey.

Wouldn't Maetel be considered 1 of the original waifu that is not a teen or loli character?
