Hello, I'm Ika (@ferventsunset), and I'm the graphics mod! I'm very new to Given. I've watched it a few years back and loved it but only now did I fall for it hard, and now it's all I think about. (1/2)

Hello everyone! I'm Jasmine / Connor (ryukita on discord)! Given has genuinely changed my life for the better; I don't know where I'd be if I never encountered Mafuyu and Ritsuka's story. (1/2)
