Chapter 182: Something's Taken the Bait

A looooooot being set up this chapter! The person in the beginning of this chapter is one of the space globalists/Kur. Her (?) conversation with Count Saint-Germain is like a talk with the devil, he looks for people who are vulnerable and need help to trap them into an agreement.

We also have the crew splitting up, one team to Shimane to find the hammer that can (hopefully) reverse everybody's curses, and the other team is staying behind to help Kouki as she faces the mysterious person who gave her the power-stealing knife.

Momo and Okarun's promise can come true if her curse is reversed! I'm so excited to see how this arc and what happens when they finally reunite 🥹 I also like how understanding Momo is, their friends' safety comes first. Plus the way the team is split gives more opportunity for unjiji and yukitori moments, so I approve lol.

Part 1, the second one's here! Admittedly this is my favorite of the two

Unji Zuma done with Posca acrylic paint markers, Copic multiliner pens, and Copic alcohol markers! I inked the drawing first, then I colored it in, then I digitally put the scanned lineart over the colored version. I had a hard time figuring out how to get the outlines to line up with the colored version. Next time I use Poscas, I’ll probably ink the picture after I’m done coloring it. I love how his expression turned out here. He feels so real. I had a really hard time with his arms, and his shoulders still look uneven, but I like the overall look of this. I think the Copics and Poscas went surprisingly well together.

Ken Takakura smiled a big, carefree smile, the kind that gave the impression that he thought of life as the greatest gift. Zuma couldn’t help but stare as though he saw a ghost.

Ken’s expression turned to one of concern as he noticed Zuma’s blank stare. “You okay?” He asked sweetly.

“Oh, sorry,” Zuma replied, as he came out of his trance. “You just… reminded me of someone.” Zuma looked away, obviously lost in thoughts, and those thoughts didn’t seem like good ones.

“Do you, uh, need a hug?” Okarun asked, able to tell that he was in need of some affection.

Zuma didn’t say anything, but he lifted his arms up ever so slightly, inviting the smaller boy to wrap his arms around him.

Okarun did so. “You can hug me back, if you want,” he offered.

Zuma squeezed Okarun tighter than expected, but Okarun didn’t mind. He got the impression that Zuma needed to relieve some bottled up feelings. Okarun felt something wet drip onto his scalp. He let Zuma cry and hold him for as long as he needed. He didn’t pressure him to explain it. But he did say “I’m here whenever you need me, okay?”

Zuma nodded. He let go of Okarun and wiped his tears away. He saw Ken Takakura as a blessing. Maybe this was his second chance to be a good big brother.

“Hey, uh,” Zuma wants to call Momo over and tries desperately to remember her name. He awkwardly guesses. “Mochi!”

Jiji and Aira overhear this and think he’s trying to be offensive by calling her plump like a mochi, so they run over and pummel him.

[lattewithatwistoflemon]

What if Zuma projects his little brother onto Okarun and protects him with all his might? <3

Thanks for all the interactions, guys! I feel like I’m part of the DanDaDan fandom now. ☺️

https://www.patreon.com/posts/120488780?utm_campaign=postshare_creator My first time drawing Jiji x Unji (unjiji)! I’ll post this on tumblr whenever I get more of it done, but if anyone wants to see the sketch so far, you can see it now on my patreon! I’m really happy with how Zuma is looking. He looks sufficiently shy, and I made his physique a good balance between muscular and chubby. Jiji turned out good too, especially considering that I was less enthused about drawing him. I was worried the picture would end up just being Zuma making a blushy face without Jiji in the picture. xD I don’t yet know what the future will bring with these two, but what I can say is that Jiji is thus far the only character I’ve drawn Zuma with where it doesn’t feel inherently wrong (like with how Momo is obviously supposed to end up with Okarun as part of the main plot. And well, let’s not even talk about my other Zuma ship.)

[lattewithatwistoflemon]

Question to myself: why don’t I adore Okarun as much as I did in the beginning?

Answer 1: He’s recently been off-screen during a lot of my favorite parts.

Answer 2: They still didn’t give the poor guy a backstory or life outside of what we’ve seen with Momo.

[lattewithatwistoflemon]

I can’t forget to draw the muscles on top of Jiji’s muscles on top of Jiji’s muscles. xD

[lattewithatwistoflemon]

I’m drawing Zuma’s new design, and he just looks like thick Okarun now. xD Everyone is going to see this picture and think it’s Jiji x Okarun.

[lattewithatwistoflemon]

Today I feel more like I want Zuma to be the top when shipping him with Jiji. Zuma’s the one who penetrates during sex, but in all other aspects of their relationship, Jiji is the one who takes the initiative. He’s more openly affectionate, so he smothers Zuma in kisses. Even in public, and Zuma’s like “really? Right now?” *sigh* and then he finds someplace private to kiss him back.
