Chapter One

So lowkey I had a hard time choosing one, it was harder than I thought. But this one was because we see that Sakura’s truly a kind boy, and he’s been hurt by so many people that this is the face of a kid thinking that being kind was being “weak” and he was only going to continue to get hurt. Hiragi saving him is truly one of the first acts of kindness in response to his kindness.

Chapter Two

He’s so determined and you can feel it with every line in this scene, and there’s just so much detail. We see very early on Nirei is not an emotionally or morally weak person, his resolve is just as strong as everyone else’s. He just doesn’t see himself like this.

Chapter Three

I absolutely love the way the shading gives me charcoal vibes. Like every character has their own style and I feel we can even see/sense it in the way they’re drawn, and Sugishita’s messy but powerful, and the charcoal shading and the smudges inder his fist and the almost sketchy feeling in the lines??? I can’t explain it.

Chapter Four

Anytime we see Sakura’s face after he gets true, genuine affection will always stab me in the heart. This poor boy is so unused to people being kind and gentle and loving he doesn’t know how to respond.

Chapter Five

*ahem* they’re just such badasses

HMs:

I LOVE THE KAJI PANEL CAUSE HE HAD HIS HEADPHONES ON THE WHOLE TIME SO I JUST KNOW HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON like all of a sudden this new kids clearly yelling about something and now he’s just flying over head??? and kicked a man several feet away???
