					<description><![CDATA[The standing gal&#039;s hand is actually the left hand. So it&#039;s not even the gesture of &quot;very little distance between thumb and forefinger, *this* small&quot;! 

(By the way, in many countries this gesture means exactly that - &quot;tiny&quot;, applicable to anything you care to call teeny-weeny, not a particular part of anatomy. Probably meant simply &quot;tiny&quot; in Korea, too, a few years back.)

Yeah, the fingers are drawn kinda crooked, nearly AI-drawing-looking, but a) questionable anatomy is par for the course in anime-style art and b) sheesh, considering how scantily clad the ladies are, below-the-belt jokes probably abound in the game universe - what&#039;s one more, even if it *was* one? 

Frankly, this reminds me of Terry Pratchett&#039;s vampire family, who had been learning all the possible religious symbols in the world and started to notice every cross and circle in the decor. If one learns all the possible considered-rude gestures in the world, one would be unable to move or draw a human. Or a non-human, come to think of it.]]></description>
