All His Favorite Things

Of course, what would an overseas trip be without two of Felip’s favorite activities, shopping and getting his locks done. He was spotted around town in a spending mood, once with Novel Core and Reiko. 

Homeward Bound

Just like that, Felip’s whirlwind Japan promo trip for 7sins came to an end. With all that work crammed into just five days, it is to be expected he’d take a breather, but most solid fans know this isn’t likely. After all, 2025 is just around the corner, and he might already be cooking up his next project. When he’s done, we’ll take the trip with him all over again.
