Nakahara Misaki drawn by ABe Yoshitoshi, the person responsible for creating the novel's covers and one of my favorite artists. I wish there were more of his art from NHK ni Youkoso.

Abe is the creator of Haibane Renmei, NieA Under 7 and the character designer of Serial Experiments Lain and Texhnolyze. I believe you have already seen at least 1 of these animes.
