Do you happen to have a link? I can't find anything other than fans thirsting over Senshi about that cover image.
So, I had to dig a good bit. Seems a lot of people didn't like the interview or are just going "well the creator's wrong".
But I did find it.
In both the anime and manga adaptations, most of the series' "fanservice" comes from peeks at Senshi's underwear. In the spirit of this, could you describe Senshi's sex appeal?
KUI: So the term "fanservice" feels a little off to me, but I have seen people talking about Senshi's sex appeal. The reason I came up with this idea [of showing Senshi in his underwear] is that when I was little, I used to live in this city where there was an old man hanging his laundry while just wearing his underwear.
It was awkward for me, and I really didn't want to look at him. But from his perspective, he really didn't care. He didn't care what other people thought. I found that vibe interesting. So, Senshi is a similar type of person who really doesn't care what other people think about him. Laios is probably more like me [and feels] a little bit awkward looking at other people in just their underwear. But I thought this vibe was really funny and interesting. That's why I drew Senshi that way.
i don't understand what there is to disagree with here.
There's another interview where she's supposed to expound upon that and she basically says that she found that guy gross and for her it was one of those things where the person was oblivious to how gross they were being because they didn't care.
ah i see
