Trivia

1/2

• Pina is named after Keiko's (Silica) cat (Munchkin) in the real world.
• Keiko's cat, Pina, has never made an appearance in neither the anime, nor the light novel, and Reki has yet to describe its appearance. However, Pina does make an appearance in both The Final Promise and Girls Ops mangas, though in both mediums, Pina takes on a different appearance, likely due to the interpretation of different artists.
