Sumiyoi Sakura

initially started as a character from an adult anime and revitalized as a vtuber, Sumiyoi Sakura -- also known as the Benefactor's 'other side' -- has been known for covering obscure and mostly-adult media in order to appreciate the work that came from within.over time, it had transitioned to vtubing (as a different character initially following an in-network collab) in order to commemorate the end-of-service of a game that she loved.following her interest in manga, the channel became a hub for covering and compiling the best of what manga channels had to offer. however, following realization that most of the newer releases have been repetitive and that "the real danger lies up ahead", that venture has come to an end with the release of the 2025 best mangas playlist.【Project:177013】 is then established in its place in order to accomodate the Benefactor's new mission through Sumiyoi: to 'rewrite' the stories of the heroines that have gone through the worst of times. dubbed as the "Unfortunates", they represent the bigger picture of real-world concerns surrounding sexuality and dignity; and what real-world solutions apply to these cases. the project originated from the sensationalism surrounding the numbers 177013 -- a "sauce code" associated with Shindo L's Metamorphosis -- earning the phase "Metamorphisan Legacy".in order to consolidate these projects, the collective was changed to 墨宵桜と友達！！ (Sumiyoi Sakura and Friends!!) -- with Sakura as the helm and the guiding light. this collective will be vtNet (and tbmassoc)'s approach to tackling real-world issues with emphasis on sexuality and womanhood.
