Kazuna|Zuanka

I initially drew this for the epilogue reincarnations but it DEFINITELY works for Rocker AU as well.

As soon as Genya doesn't have to wear his braces anymore they'll eat everything he couldn't enjoy before (like popcorn - well corn in general) and Otsuyu loves seeing him eat~

All in all their relationship doesn't last long but also never lacked intensity. And here's some thoughts on the details:

Song

I chose the Song "Let me die" (Soundtrack from the Apothecaries Diaries), because their lovestory is a tragic one. Otsuyu will have a phase in which she completely shuts down and later has to learn to let go to find happiness in her life. Eventually she will come to terms with his passing but she'll never stop loving the first love of her life.

Flavour

Sour and Sweet is a combination that can make you grin imo, but take away the sweetness and you're left with the sour... While usually I'd tend to go for bitter - in their case sour felt more appropriate. Especially since they didn't have much time together.

Time

It's hard to pinpoint how much time exactly passes throughout the series, but she's pretty much assigned to him by the butterfly mansion to monitor his health. From then on she sticks to his side and he can't get rid of the shinobi... Until he doesn't want to get rid of her anymore as they get to know each other better. It's hard to tell when exactly it turned romantic though haha~ they were already on a commitment level before either confessed their feelings. So approx. half a year is a good measure??

Favourite season

I HC Genya to like the summer, because for one: Watermelons! But on a more sad note: the days are longer, nights shorter, which means more safe time from demons (especially during the time he was an orphan) - also I can imagine that he had sweet memories with Sanemi from their childhood like going to catch bugs together. Otsuyu is definitely a spring girl - though her Haori has Plum blossoms (which bloom in January) she loves to see the world come to life. It has something hopeful to her and it actually makes her think of Tengen whose influence gave her hope in her life.

Favourite time of day

In Genyas case it ties to Demons again, but more in the sense, that the rising sun is a sign of survival. Also his smile during the sunrise in the Swordsmith arc is one of the cutest so <3 Despite the danger at night, Otsuyu thinks of the darkness as some sort of comfort to hide. It ties to her origin as Shinobi and the skills for stealth that increase during night-hours.

Attachment style

With Genya I was a bit torn, because I think he's afraid to get attached to anyone but his older brother and Gyomei who earned his trust. But he slowly warms up, but gradually becomes anxious to lose another person in his life. Otsuyu has a more anxious attachment style from the start, since her childhood wasn't filled with love and only after leaving the clan she learned just how precious connections are. So precious, that she's afraid to lose that treasure she's finally get to experience.

Otsuyu used charme, it’s very effective. Genya is confused.

This was honestly so fun to render hehe. Also, you can’t really see it anymore but on his shirt is the word (Stone) because of Gyomei. Also his bracelet is a sign they’re connected in this AU too.

Gyomei used to be a rocker, but has retired a while ago, now he found buddhism and is a monk - Genya in this AU is also a Buddhist 💜

"Asshole" but affectionately

"stupid birdbrain" but affectionately

"Good for nothing" but affectionately

I DREW THIS?!

He turned out so majestic! I am kicking my feet here.

Why I decided to turn him into a shapeshifting demon is his lack of color. Like he is a peace of paper who can turn into a masterpiece in a blink. Still have to figure out how he gets a grip on the appearance of somebody else. Especially if the person is already dead - like Rengoku.

about him ♥

Asami Akane or Asami Iwashita (depends which AU)

Family Akane (Haikyuuverse)

Akane siblings

Asami is the third child of Myorin and Hanzo Akane and unlike his siblings he has no passion for sport. No Martial Art. No Dancing. No Team Sport. He hates to sweat and prefers to just chill and listen to music. In his freetime he plays guitar, mixes music on his computer or writes songs just for fun and eventually he got discovered by an idol agency in Tokyo.

His relationship with Sameko:

Let's say, they love to tease each other. He is the very reason why she is immune to handsome boys, because she sniffs the rotten core in a heartbeat.

Sameko even opened a business with "Asami Ass Whooping Hotline" everytime he annoys someone and this person got her number...

Also he is a multiship OC. He is too fantastic to keep him for one person only.

He is in a ship with one of @kazuan His canonverse with @veilody If it just hits right and has comedy I am all in for the chaos
