Whoa … Miku joins Black★Team!? … or not. She simply mimics what she has just seen on Black★Rock Shooter OVA. ^^;

The idea came up after I watched the OVA and comparing B★RS with her Nendoroid form – which has not been released yet. IMO the blue flame on her left eye is supposed to be “transparent” as seen on the OVA, isn’t it? ^^

Recently, I have been tinkering with my Flickr account, researching for any features that I could use. I decided to add my blog to my Flickr, and this is the first photo that I posted directly from Flickr.

Well, this photo was taken when I went to a nearby park. There’s nothing particularly special in this photo, because … well, it was randomly taken. Kagamikku looks really happy though … ^^
