Otome Saotome

Regarded as a prodigious artistic talent at Tokioka Academy, she defies expectations with her remarkably petite, child-like stature despite being a senior student. Driven by a gnawing creative void she could no longer ignore, she joined the anti-establishment underground collective SOX, taking on the role of illustrating government-banned erotic artwork. In everyday life, she carries herself with a calm, measured demeanor that belies her age in the opposite direction — composed far beyond her years. Yet the moment inspiration strikes, a fervent, almost manic energy takes over. She quietly observes the interactions among her fellow members, harvesting authentic emotions as raw material for her art.
