Since floating Norman took over my timeline, I'm bringing back Posuka's new arts again because why not
TPN's first and final quotes were the same: Emma answering her family's call. Emma's motto "Humans aren't weak" was widely publicized during Volume 20 promotion. A promotional poster displayed in Shibuya had a cameo in Shirai's one shot "We were Born."
Shirai usually avoids making Emma wear a dress, but he likes the sunflower illustration drawn for WSJ 2017 issue #33 cover. As per editor's advise, he pays attention to not make her someone the readers should have a crush on.
A TPN prototype one shot was Ashley Goeth no Yukue (2015). The titular character Ashley was trapped inside a hospital (actually a prison) with his memories, name and previous identity removed. Ashley's prisoner ID and Emma's farm ID are rearrangements of the same numbers.
Norman having trouble with games in Posuka's arts has almost became a running gag by now. In 2019's new year illustration, he was losing in Hanetsuki. In the Identity V collaboration art, he lost a match. Usually we see him cheering from the sideline instead of participating.
In spite of their conflict being a major theme during the final arc, Norman and Emma never shared a duo cover. But some drafts for Volume 14 had the two of them together.
In every Vol.14 concept, Norman's face was hidden in a way or other.
LRT wahh I love it sm because how well it goes with my headcanon too ;~; We haven't seen much of Ray and Norman post canon but they usually had hot drinks with them so I think they developed this coffee drinking habit together while staying up late when Emma was missing 🥺💕
Shirai compares Emma and Norman to a knight and her white horse, a relationship similar to that between Process Knight's Sapphire and her horse Opal. Instead of being a prince, Norman's role is to support Emma as a partner so that she can move as she wishes. (multiple sources)
-Fanbook, artbook, and interviews. Almost all questions you have about TPN are most likely answered by the author already.
TPN's artbook doesn't have a digital version, but I'd highly recommend buying it. The book has many draft sketches and new illustrations in it.
I thought the whole day about how to wish him, but I think I've reached a point where words can't convey my adoration for him anymore.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORMAN! 🎉💙#22194ノーマン誕生祭2021
Hope you have this bright smile on your face for the rest of your life!
