    Hatsune Miku (blue) and Kasane Teto (red). They’re vocaloids, effectively AI ‘singers’, you run a program, give them lyrics/song notes and they’ll sing them. There’s other vocaloids, but these are the top 2 most popular.

    Not sure the point of the comic, unless it’s about Teto’s character being semi-vague (their official gender is ‘chimera’ and they’re the LGBTQ+ analogue character).

      their official gender is ‘chimera’

      I don’t know what that means but sounds like a cool and vaguely ominous gender to be

        Basically, they (technically) are whatever you want them to be? They’re usually assumed as a she, but ultimately it’s up to personal interpretation whether they’re cross/trans or he/she. As I mentioned, Teto is the LBGTQ+ inclusion character, which is why their gender is ‘chimera’ as in, ‘a mix’.

        I agree about the term used being based af, but it’s also confusing because they’re typically portrayed as a ‘she’, but you’ll easily find stuff where they’re a futa, femboy, dommy pegger, etc. Just that ambiguous a character.

        Thanks, I knew she started as a fan creation, never knew there were other types. I thought she was just made official after everyone loved her.

        Are the blonde twins the same or were they official when created?
