Reposting an old sketch I made when I wasn’t accepted into the skip and loafer zine LOL

romance as a subplot is SOOOOO GOODDDDD because 98% of the time it's an intense slowburn that develops over several chapters. the story focuses on the plot or character development more but somehow it makes the romance SO MUCH BETTER!!! idk how to explain it it's just so good...like when an author's focus is more on characters and plot it gives you as the reader a deeper connection to the characters which makes the romantic/platonic aspect so much better

shima believes himself to be unlovable and evil and mean and terrible and so he feels disillusioned when he asks mitsumi why she liked him and she says that it's because he's kind and he helped her. Because shima doesnt believe himself to be kind! he wanted mitsumi to give him a reason he hadn't thought of, something complicated and ugly he hasnt shown anyone, even if she has no way of fully knowing. but what shima isnt able to understand is that his "facade" for better and for worse is an active effort he made to make mitsumi more comfortable and at peace that at the time deeply affected her and kept her moving forward!!! He thinks all those times where he was nice are all just a prettyboy facade thats shallow and fake but fails to realize how those moments are what made him and mitsumi connect in the first place...

I have just realized that...

So yeah, if I were him..

..it would be exciting for me as well.

i think this line might be about mitsumi and takamatsu setting up that the reason they broke up wasn't so much that "shima didn't love mitsumi the same way" but that he was struggling with his own self-hate and the feeling that he's not good enough for mitsumi.

we've seen takamatsu slowly reveal this aspect of shima's worldview back in scene 65

if anything, i think shima hugging her at the end of the chapter is a sign that he's started to "catch up to her" like he said

Chat how normal are we feeling about this chapter???

yearning is such a beautiful thing. what i love about yearning and slowburn is that while the romance progresses, you can get to know the characters better, which makes the audience see how deep the bond in the relationship is. all the small moments have meaning. every interaction, every thought, and every glance means something and is a way to emphasize how much love (platonic or romantic) the characters have for one another. there is something so beautiful about yearning because it's so human to want something so badly, but you have a part of you that is afraid you'll never get it. romantic or not, i love watching/reading characters find their person and learning all about each other, becoming so close and connected that it's hard to imagine life without the other. yearning to know more, yearning to be closer. it's so beautiful to me!

I read through the entire Skip and Loafer manga in two nights and now i cant shut up about them👊

Also i found this new lineart brush that lets me do refined details a bit more easily, so my art style might be all over the place for a bit, pls bear with me ✌️
