I was just giving the Safflower Lady a skeleton wiki page, so I have to ask: does Amano paint her and her dreadful nose?

[jinian]

Yes! Her nose has a downward-pointing tip and is sharper than most. He doesn't seem to have been able to bring himself to color the tip red, though.

I'm torn between being glad on her behalf and regretting the chance to gawk!
