I noticed a weird discrepancy between LNs and their illustrations that seems to crop up a lot.

I first noticed it in (cokesakto's) translation of KnK. Art: Red jacket. Description: Black jacket.

Breakfast time. It’s a western breakfast but Jiro prefers Japanese if he can help it, with things like rice and miso soup. He does drink milk though.

Today’s the day their high school is founded, so they get a holiday.

Kureha asks if Jiro is going to eat or not, and he finally started. Jiro’s extremely nervous because Kanade is sitting on his lap as they eat, and his gynophobia is acting up. Both Subaru and Usami is looking at him with a complicated expression.
