FAQ for Isekai by Moonlight
Q: Why does the text say Makoto has auburn hair? She's a brunette!
A: In the anime, she's a brunette. But there is official art showing her as either a blonde or a redhead – there wasn't anywhere near as much consistency in manga characters' hair colours back in the 1990s as there is in the 2020s – so there's some room for customization here. And Makoto's hair colour is a convenient way to show that Isekai by Moonlight does not take place in any of the canon realities.
Q: You keep misspelling Ryo Urawa's given name.
A: That's not a question. <g> See above: spelling his name "Ryou" is an even more convenient way to show that Isekai by Moonlight does not take place in the canon '90s anime reality.
Q: The writer's name is Rob. Is Rob Donaldson an author avatar or self-insert?
A: No. While they have some things in common, writer-Rob and character-Rob are different people. For one thing, they have different birthdays. Besides, if this was a self-insert, Rob would have ended up with Ami. <g>
Q: Why does Ichigo seem so hung up on her ancestry?
A: She's a teenager, so she's going to have issues about something. <g> It's difficult to tell whether there was or was not actually still a cultural bias against Ainu in Japan in the early 1990s; evidence either way is difficult to find in English online, but there was still a preference in omiai at the time to meet non-Ainu. Whatever the reality was, Ichigo thinks that there is a bias against her people and acts accordingly.
Q: How did Robu-san end up in the story's Sailor Moon reality, anyway?
A: Sore wa, himitsu desu. <g> This scene has been written and is scheduled to appear in the epilogue.
