these results WILL surprise you

i'm happy to announce that the vast majority of you got this WRONG, while 4 of you got it right: yes, the right answer was NONE, these are both baby matoba!!

the left one is from this panel (left) in world unbent and the right one is from this panel (right) in hand extended

#natsume yuujinchou #anyways my objective with this was 1. to have a little fun #and 2. to see if a silly little joke i cooked up in my brain had any basis #hehe anyways #even tho baby matoba can be tanuma's spitting image sometimes #i only compared tiny tanumas and matobas so idk if this actually has any meaning lol #tho from comparing them i noticed that teen matoba has a smaller face and longer lashes in comparison to tanuma #tho it's hard to see that when they're tiny like this (tho you can kinda see the long lashes on the left one)#also i did compare current timeline matoba and tanuma #but besides the longer black hair (that is already so distinct in this sea of light haired ppl lol) they dont look that much alike #but i did notice that midorikawa has been drawing matoba with longer lashes in recent chapters #and even tho they're not as long as natsume's they're just as long as shinobu's #so (excluding the color) they have like the same eyes especially the narrowed snake-like format #no wonder matoba and shinobu can look so alike in some panels #tho shinobu is that much more expressive so we see her eyes being more than just narrowed lol #also also another thing i noticed #is that present matoba has a smaller face in comparison to natori and other adult male characters most of the time #tho it's not frequent enough for me to be sure that it's an actual character design trait (scratches head)#anyways #i managed to actually fool majority of you!!!#an actual win in my book #also ignore my vote i just wanted to see results bf the poll was over at some point lol
