For the shinkumi Valentine's Day exchange

Request: "something in which Shin shows his bemused exasperation (think *facepalm*) with Kumiko's dorkiness, cluelessness, lack of foresight, etc. :D"



I'm not sure what bemused + exasperation together looked like but, Shin always have that stoic expression. Yankumi being clueless that's she dragging him by the hand, punching the air energetically lol. I'm starting to notice in the live action drama, she's portrayed more cheerful type than in the manga.

My first colored Shinkumi fanart too XD;; (I'm so lazy) Gokusen is such a fun series~~ *got into it some years ago after hearing lucathia mentioning the drama. Shinkumi is ♥


Another Valentine's Day...something I don't really care about. But I do like how Ellen Degeneres said it about being a day to celebrate the freedom of being single. Hehe. Nice way to put it.

Despite its simplicity, I somehow REALLY like this. <3 Shin's pose really looks like he's being led, hee hee.

I can't say that I am much of a fan of valentines day either, but I am always a fan of sketchy lines :D

Cute! ^_^

I think you captured the bemused/exasperated idea -- sorry for not being able to explain it very well. ^^;; And definitely Yankumi's cluelessness. XD;

I really like their clothes. Reading the manga, I get stuck in Shin=uniform, Yankumi=jersey/kimono mode. Having them wear other things is like changing the setting. :o

I'm too lazy to look at reference XD And I like to put chara in casual clothing :3

Ouu that icon was the first thing I recalled when I wanted to draw this~! But I didn't have the reference to look at (too lazy to open the other harddrive to look for it...).

Thanks~
