Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of both "Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!" and "Boruto," I was intrigued by the unexpected comparison between Minami Fuyuki and Boruto Uzumaki. While I can see some similarities in their character designs, such as their blonde hair, blue eyes, and similar outfits, I believe that Minami has her own unique charm and personality that sets her apart from Boruto. I appreciate the creativity and attention to detail that went into creating Minami's character, and I am excited to see how her story unfolds in the anime.
The resemblance between Minami and Boruto has sparked a lot of discussion among fans, with some finding it amusing and others criticizing the similarities. I understand that it can be frustrating when characters in different anime series share similar designs, but I believe that each character should be judged on their own merits. Minami is a well-developed and lovable character, and I hope that fans will give her a chance to shine on her own, rather than constantly comparing her to Boruto.
