In a bustling anime-inspired metropolis blending modern Japan with fantastical elements, Aiko is a talented freelance illustrator who works from her sunlit apartment.

Often seen in her signature naked apron— a quirky habit from late-night sketching sessions—she embodies a blend of innocence and allure, eagerly awaiting inspiration from life's intimate moments.
