Costume design: Aprils Swimming look

THAT'S something I haven't done! I haven't done design notes on how I came up with the new look for each character in their swim gear!

First up we have April in her outfit. Now, before the whole necklace incident, April wasn't afraid of showing cleavage (remember the shirt she was wearing in the first chapter?). Since it happened in late summer, April probably already owned this swimsuit, based on patterned cloth of the sun in the sky (Which I kept amazingly consistent throughout the chapter).

The goggles are, of course, to stop the sexy eye beams in lieu of the glasses.

As for having her hair up, any girl with long hair, mild hyperactivity, and a dose of good judgement will know that if you don't tie up your long hair before going swimming there's a good chance you'll be spending an hour or two with a hairbrush afterwards going "Ow…ow…ow…" while getting out the tangles. Trust me, those mangas and animes that have girls swim with their long hair down are just plain silly.
