The door chimed as Neku walked into Shibu Q Heads' Heads n' Cuts for his quarterly haircut.
"Hey Sota, how's it goin?"
"Neku, my favorite customer! Got any fun manga characters to inspire me?"
"Well actually..."
Neku showed him a volume of manga with a young man with spiky red and blonde hair.
"Can you make me look like Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!?"
"I'll do my best, buddy. Did you want me to highlight your hair too?"
"N-No, of course not! I'd hate having blonde hair!"
As Sota cut Neku's hair, the conversation turned to Tin Pin Slammer.
"Hey Neku, ever notice how that kid Sota kinda acts like an anime character?"
"I think we all act like anime characters sometimes, but yeah him more than most. He reminds me of a character from a different Yu-Gi-Oh series."
"Ha ha, you're such a nerd Neku."
"I resent that term."
Half an hour later, Sota held up a mirror for Neku to see.
"How's this?"
"I love it! This little curl on my forehead is gonna take some getting used to, but I feel so badass!"
