#Dr.STONE / Senku’s Starry Sky Science Class

I decided to create a Dr. STONE anthology together with a mutual follower from X (Twitter)!

Each participant is contributing a piece featuring their favorite character. Since everyone's favorite character is, in a way, the one who shines the brightest to them, we chose the title The Brightest One for the book.

One of my favorite moments from Season 1 of the anime is the scene where Senku and the others talk about the North Star. The three of them gaze up at the night sky, sharing their discoveries, thoughts, and excitement in a warm and peaceful atmosphere. When I came up with this title, that scene immediately came to mind.

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

The enormous brushbuddy is talking!
