Not sure if this is doable, but...

These folks?



Don't worry about whether they'd fit in; we have an entire planet to tell stories in. And they wouldn't be the first slice-of-life cast in Refuge -- there's the folks from Azumanga Daioh in Los Angeles and the core four from Lucky Star in Montreal.

You'd be setting yourself up for some challenging stories, though. The Haibane are used to what amounts to a small town, and Manhattan is definitely not a small town. But culture clash makes for good stories.

Yes, them indeed!

I'm going for them because of the challenge and the culture clash.  And I'm going for Manhattan because I spent the first 39 years of my life there.
