I wanted to share this one for some time, but I didn't want to spoil the anime-onlies while tagging. But now I can finally share it with everyone!

I hope all Wakamiya x Hamayu shippers have a good day!

The Northern House (three generations): Shiratama (the third daughter), Oryo-no-Kata (the matriarch, the former Lady Nozen), Prince Genya (the patriarch and the supreme general of the country’s army, the Urinten-gun), Yukiya, Lord Kiei, Mutsu-no-Hana (the first daughter, Shiratama’s mother), Lady Fuyuki (the second daughter, Yukiya’s mother), Lord Genki ? (Lord Kiei’s father)

The Western House (two generations): Akihiko, Lord Akira, Nazukihiko, Izayoi, Masuho-no-Susuki, Akeru, Fujinami

The Eastern House: Futaba, Asebi, Lord Haruhito, Ukigomo (who don’t look alike)

The Southern House (two generations): Lord Tōru, Lord Natsuka, The Purple Empress (Omurasaki no Omae, a.k.a. Yuzemi), Nadeshiko (Tōru’s only biological daughter), Lady Hamayū

The Four Houses, according to Natsumi Matsuzaki

Q: In the novels, there are often descriptions like "the facial features of the ○ family" or "the bloodlines of the ○ family"—I would like to hear about what you were mindful of or paid attention to when translating those into manga...! The Minami family looks unmistakably like the Minami family!!! The Nishi family is the Nishi family!! The Kita family!!! The Higashi family!! I really like the expressions that let you instantly recognize a parent's face. 💛

A: I'm glad that many people have complimented me on this!

It's difficult to explain in words... The impression I got from the depiction of their behavior and the character designs for the four princesses, Yukiya, and Nazukihiko largely determined the bloodline characters.

Additionally, when incorporating the bloodline into the design, simply having similar bone structures or parts would result in an unconvincing depiction like stamp pictures. So, as an added element, I emphasized the idea that the facial features and expressions come to resemble each other due to the atmosphere within each family, derived from their main industries and the climates of the regions distributed to the first four children of the golden raven.

Now I don’t know how old Yukiya is, but he did say he hasn’t even come of age yet… Are you sure you should be trusting him this much???

What did you do there, except make enemies? - Are you worried for me?

The Imperial Brothers!!!

Am I even exaggerating if I say that the summer episodes have the best endcards? If we can also get one with Hamayu and Masuho-no-Susuki, the I can die happily.

Anime vs Manga, Chapter 36 & Episode 13

I’ve been waiting to post this manga cap.

The Yatagarasu anime is so BL-coded, so I’m inevitably a YukiWaka shipper. As an anime-only, I wonder what the experience is like to those who read the novel/manga first...

I have no complaints about Hamayu being chosen in the end because she’s cool and I like her, but not gonna lie, it caught me off guard when her history with Wakamiya was revealed and when Wakamiya suddenly acted so familiarly with her. I did not connect her at all to the ragged kid who was with Wakamiya in Asebi’s flashback, so the whole Wakamiya-Hamayu pairing feels sudden to me.

Was the pairing perhaps built up more in the novel/manga?
