Shigure Ui (しぐれうい) is a female Japanese manga artist and illustrator. She also did the character designs for various popular light noverls and mangas.
It was like any other usual day; I was at home by myself trying to think of ideas for my next manga, which is about sports in high school. But I was having some struggles to write the plot as I’m currently 25 and no longer a high school student. That is when I thought of a great idea: using my old high school gym uniform.
It does not take long for me to find the outfit in the closet in our bedroom. As I take the outfit out, waves of nostalgia hit me. The form-fitting short-sleeved white shirt with a contrasting dark blue trim around the collar and sleeves and the high-waisted dark blue shorts still look new and fresh.
But the moment I put the uniform on, it was too late for me to realize the mistake I had just made. I can hardly move around in this undersize uniform. In short, this old gym uniform…is so freaking tight!!!
