like currently is I suppose “Yukio” for character I most think about lately and my mind goes to, including surge of feels I have for him. but like he doesn’t necessarily fit fav character now cuz while I love him so much and think about him a lot, my mind is like nope! right now! and who am I to argue. the moment for fav character is gone. and then there’s Ryuuji who has been steadily increasing up the list — because hey! im loving all the aspects of his character so damn much! but he’s not really a fav because I don’t think of him as often as should be. and there’s, you know, izumo who I have a immediate “love” to. like she’s everything, from her design to her character to her story: I love her so much. also she always gives me oh my god I love her as soon as I see her. like truly, a fav but SADLY I DONT THINK OF HER AS OFTEN AS I LIKE. so in that way, she doesn’t fill the category completely of fav characters but def a fav of everything. :/

and there’s shiemi who was such an old fav and always surges up this feeling of just overwhelming love and i love everything about her character and her diff multi layers but man. I really DO not think of her as often (but lately did since heheh new chp manga thank You), and even when i think about characters lately, she is not upfront at all in my devastingly so 😔😔😔 and there’s koneko who has been fav as I got back into aoex lately n rereading.... just being a fav next to Yukio as he was steadily increasing in my list cuz I def did not give him much deserved appreciation before but lately lol he’s not been in my mind as before. but his dynamic with Renzou n scenes and his dynamic with Yukio has been in my thoughts not a lot but There… and there’s Renzou…..! there def was a period when he was my fav character. there’s so much to him and he’s so fun, why wouldn’t I<3 and honestly in almost every idea I have there’s always a Renzou creeping around Somewhere. he’s not on my mind as much right now tbh, but he’s def a fav of something. also strangely, and weirdly, I don’t feel idk how to describe it. but while I got his character I don’t feel like I got him. my mind is super weird like that, sometimes I have to take diff circles and diff thinking for things to click and just taking that slow journey for it to click for me. and it’s been going! I think im nearly there…

speaking of that.. like for writing: renzou n Izumo r like a Fav. but I feel like Yukio’s my go-to and especially lately lol. since he’s been on the mind….!

I would have loved to say Kinzou is a fav. He is and he just surges up feels of wow this character is just wow but sadly he’s not even really in my mind except when myo dho comes or renzou’s fam. hfjkdkdJDJDK but he’s such an absolutely idk even how to describe that I just love him. his presence is always A+ (not for Renzou at all tho lol) but I do love a got a sudden idea for a fic for him. this is great progress. hes like that character where hes like everything and he would be all over my fav but like he’s not that important to me LOL so im like. [clenches hand] oh why must he be so un important to me. he’s perfect otherwise LMAO but I feel like because he’s so un important. it adds to charm. I love that I don’t care about him much and I love that he’s in a freakin band, most unexpected thing. that extra is my fav. and I love how obnoxious he is and ridiculous and awful and I love that he doesn’t even realise it. you know, he reminds me much of yuzuki from gsnk. they have a lot in common. wow another idea! this is so much progress LOL

and paku… I love her so much n she’s def a fav of something but cries unless I think of her I forget she exists. AN ABSOLUTE CRIME….. it’s not that I even forget she exists. it’s like I have object permance(?) or however you spell that. like she doesn’t exist to me unless I think of her. HFJFKKFKF. 😔😔😔

so anyways, the cram gang is def like a fav of my mine. like I almost always circulate thro them and the dynamics they’d have. it’s such so good.

and yeah, I haven’t at all mentioned Rin yet. Well. Because. I was gonna to geer up to a “well I guess he might be my fav all rounder” since he was like my first fav, we started the manga with him, I have such big fondness for him and enjoy his character so much…! like big special place in my heart even when I don’t think of him as often tbh.. also I feel like for me, Rin and yukio go together….! Like they’re a pair! Especially right now in my mind. When im thinking something of yukio, there’s always a rin close by. and vice versa. They go hand in hand!

So while rin is probs my fav character over all. but even that’s not a real indicator since it feels like that now cuz while I was thinking about this question, but won’t be after (yeah as im rereading this it’s true) lollll rin is such. like a nostalgic character but not actually nostalgic. he’s The old fav! when I think about him n his roots, I always do go. wow. def fav!! we started the manga with him! I watched his story! I love him and his personality! he’s so endearing! he’s frustrating! he’s so embarrassing! he’s the story! so of course, I love him and he’s like the fav probably!

but if you were to make me think of character of aoex: it’s gonna be yukio and then Ryuuji. they currently occupy my brain. and I cannot believe that I can’t answer this question with izumo as I do not at all think of her as often and by that, I mean — really… like she’s always pops up as association with a character or smth. 😔😔😔 but if I wished, I would have loved to answer this question with her. she’s a fav of my heart. Rin’s fav of my soul or smth I gUESS. Yukio’s the fav of my brain and his design is sooooo. I love everything about it. Everything I see it, my brain is suchhhh. Yeah yeah yeahhh. And fav of reading currently including Ryuuji. Ryuuji also fav of thinking. He’s soooo fun. I love his character and his sincerity and how much he puts all of self into something and how his character was going thro turmoil and how defeating Satan itself was not his ambition and yeah. I could talk about him a lot. Yukio’s so a fav of the characters — as in, im loving and appreciating his character’s complexity and how it layers over and all the diff parts of him that make him him. and my current fav arc that feeds into that… and leads to obvs Rin as they really go hand in hand….! Renzou such a fav of personality. I love n adore his personality, the exaggerated character who is ridiculous is always a Love in my books and the layers of him??? he’s sooo complex….! the spy stuff…..! his relationship with bonneko and Izumo due to that 👌 chefs kiss. he’s so so fun. and I love his kind of pov, cuz hello…… I love the energy he brings and idk how to put into words, but like as much as easy going and carefree n lazy he seems and he is honestly, there’s like this.. hmm. kinda more serious idk how to describe it but it’s so good i love it. also yeah. I just love his personality. and there’s Izumo…..! fav of my heart. I think I said that, I just got deja vu. I truly, throughly love her. her personally is a big one. she’s awful when we first meet her and now she’s not so awful and I love her snappishness, her oh gosh her whole personality with paku, her love for cute things and how she reacts, her dynamics, how she’s god-awful argumentative and was such terrible <3 at the start, her friendship with shiemi gah, her freaking design!!!!! I love everything about it!!!!!!! the purple, the eyebrows!!! the shape of her eyes!!! that one eyelash….!!! her fringe shape!!!! truly. I go crazy over hers. and while I loveee yukio’s one too, it’s more of an “wow this design has that best itch in my brain idk how to say it” but it brings me such great &:):&;&!!!!!!! I want him in my pocket, honestly. Izumo is more like. wow. when I see it, my brain is going off fireworks. AND SHIEMI!!!!!!! not last or least, fav of my heart/soul honestly. she’s was such an old fav. I don’t know when, but like after rin it feels like. I love love love adore her story. it’s so good. I love her vibes. I love her personality. it brings me such joy. she’s soooooo good. I love her arcs and where her character was and character is going….. it’s the best and so good and I love how her insecurity just shows. like it always blows me away, I forget that she even has them sometimes because she’s so incredible??! and then it just shows how insecure she feels in self and im like!!! girl!!! I love that she has that and while being more confident, still has it. it’s just so…! I love her story and how it starts. just honestly fav parts of aoex that cememts in my mind as like part of aoex is always like that scene in shiemi in the garden and rin, izumo’s crying in the changing room, and her giving the clothes back to rin, the Exwire exam. n of course whole rin n shiro thing at start. anyways yeah….!!!!!! I thought I talked about konekomaru but it seems I haven’t!!!! So to him!!!! I don’t really know what a fav he is of yet. But man. Man. I LOVE him so much. he was def a fav of thinking before, he’s soooo good. seeing his lil face brings me such joy<333 every time, especially when I first doodled his face for first time and was like “wow” im so into his design. it sparked off Something.

I really love the presence he gives into the manga, and the his place in the kyoto trio. and honestly while there’s a lot I love, it’s hard to bring it forth and into words since im still discovering and more really getting to know koneko as character honestly. since before before i didn’t really think of him much in my mind. same with paku. speaking of paku while she’s not really a fav, she’s a fav when she appears. I adore her design and hair shape and her whole presence if that even makes sense. like I just think paku and the feeling she encapsulates honestly… it’s such a big. <3!!!!

anyways yeah. my answer to this question was lolllll but I think honestly I can just say with confidence right now, it’s Yukio n Bon. LOL. man was it such a long road to take. but honestly it fits. the whole cram school gang being a fav cuz they are….!!!! wait I do have that shiemi wip that ive quickly sketched yesterday and was kinda brushing up today. it includes all of the cram school people… I haven’t really gotten to Ryuuji yet since I’ve been drawing this mostly from my mind and MAN do I always forget how he looks like. Like I know. But I haven’t really sat down and memorized and thought. I barely drew him before. Anyways.

I drew this like on layer but MY GOD does izumo really bother me here :/ she’s too tall… or smth idk but it Bothering me. and how her clothes are on her neck.. idk… I kinda messed it up and it wasn’t like I had a proper base for it since I was truly in mind of in and out for this art JFKKDKDDK. for how much I love yukio’s design it pains me so much how im not able to capture what I love about it so much… I need to get work on it more… I redrew his smile so many times cuz I was unSATISFIED

Man. I would loved to spend more time on it but my hand + I am lazy + I really don’t know how to make art look finished. im always sketching messily…… so finished art always has that air of how do I even get there for me.
