Mentioning there's a 3D series of arayoru where Mei (or uh, May) is a girl seems to be a thing people really like to mention these days, so hey yeah sure, here's something with the 3D characters! It's Barry (the blue one) and Gabu.
I've drawn the 3D characters before too, starting from 2012, so yeah hey the series is nothing new to me. This is the first time I even try to draw Mei though, I generally don't really care for the goat designs in that series. Tho Kuro looks pretty good.

The entire One Stormy Night franchise is for children. First are foremost. The moral is that enemies can become friends when given the chance, and that friendship can survive with courage. That's it. That's all there is. But adults need to project both their own agenda and their own libidos into everything, to show how smart they are. And so nonsense like these controversies arise.
