The drive itself was long, but it wasn't in any way boring, not for Shitsubo.
His eyes couldn't help but widen in genuine surprise at the sight of a completely different side of Osaka for the very first time in his life.
It was actually, surprisingly, fuckin' beautiful.
So beyond the scope of his expectations.
After passing through an abnormally long underpass, the kinds of buildings Shitsubo then saw were far beyond anything he had ever imagined the 'good parts' of Osaka could possibly be.
All the buildings he saw now were complete, pristine, and impeccably neat, with many featuring artistic, intricate, almost alien-looking designs.
Styled to be uniquely different yet all captivating.
Large, vibrant billboards decorated the sides of these structures, alive with eye-stunning, dazzling neon lights and incredibly detailed 3-D animations of unknown characters and products.
