Finally finished up my Kawaii build!
I decided to hand assemble the boards without a stencil, I regret doing this and would highly recommend getting a stencil as recommended. However, it is possible if you are insane (cc @Lazr).
Here are some noodz:
This design is so clean and optimized, it was a joy to build. Something that really doesn't come across from the photos is exactly how absolutely tiny this thing is. Also the aluminum shell is incredibly tactile, really nice to hold in the hand.
Massive props to @YveltalGriffin, @Wesk, and @Ding for the slick design and flawless manufacturing.
Also, huge thanks to @subierekt for doing the PCB group buy.
