KoshaVinka suggested this in the image suggestions thread:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blitzo_adopts_loona.jpg

People expressed concern about Loona not fitting as she was technically just about to turn 18 so just under adult age. Personally I think its close enough but just in case I do have another suggestion:

TBF my concern was less that Loona's an older teen in context, and more that because she's meant to be a teen they made her dress the part. It's subtle and if you don't watch the show it's probably not as obvious as it is to someone who gets the intent, though.

"In some jurisdictions invoking the Not Blood Relatives trope on purpose is the only way to get legal protection for same sex couples"

Bit clunky though someone might be able to do better.

I have one problem with the image. It's to be read right to left, so I suggest to flip it.

[up] I'd rather just put a note saying which way to read it because I don't like it when manga is "flipped" very much.

[up] It's standard practice to flip the image on this site. It'll be an easy flip too, you just have to swap the first two speech bubbles.

Right, we don't assume readers are familiar enough with Manga to know how to read these images, and putting notes assumes people will check.

Oooh the speech bubbles, that's fine. I was worried you meant the art itself which can make things go... off looking.

As for the caption, the image itself says pretty much everything.
