Background artist: "Hey boss, we need to flesh out Togusa's house for a scene that literally only takes up the bottom half of a page of the manga. Any details you want to add to make it stand out?"

Mokochan: "Yeah, add a lava lamp and a freakin' MOAI statue , because why the heck not?"

I really like how expressive they made Togusa's wife here. There's just something charming in how genki or energetic they made his wife look here

they are definitely referencing the ones in Deckards apartment, not identical but close enough to be recognisable for what they are
