#20072017

By request: the Doushitemo Furetakunai Extra chapter from the 20072017 Fanbook. 

As far as I remember Yoneda-sensei was asked during the planning phase of the fanbook who she would like to have a talk with, and she asked for Kusama Sakae because although she had been a long time fan, they had never had an opportunity to meet before. They talk about how they both became mangaka, and also how they both became fans of each other’s works. Kusama-sensei’s first encounter with Yoneda-sensei was a doujinshi by her that she read at a friend’s house, and Yoneda-sensei has also been a fan of Kusama-sensei’s since her early works. They talk about a series Kusama-sensei used to draw doujinshi for. I don’t think it was a series I know, so I don’t remember the title.

Yoneda-sensei says how she loves the way Kusama-sensei draws men in suits, so they talk about suit fashion and what they like about suits. Kusama-sensei likes to see guys dress more than the undressing part (in manga at least), so she talks about how she wanted Yashiro’s arm to stay limp, so he could always be dressed by Doumeki. Then Yoneda-sensei complains how difficult it was to constantly remember that Yashiro couldn’t move his right arm, and how Doumeki’s little finger tends to randomly grow back, so Kusama-sensei suggests gloves for him.

They also talk about what kind of guys they like. Yoneda-sensei is all “glasses!” when it comes to guys in real life, but this preference doesn’t extend to manga guys. They also talk about male actors in western TV shows, about what “moe” means to them. Yoneda-sensei confesses that she has never watched Titanic because she doesn’t watch romance movies at all. They talk about how guys need to be cute and not cool, and that “cool” isn’t even a compliment, because if you like someone you wouldn’t say “He’s cool” but rather “He’s cute”. And that calling someone “cool” somehow sounds as if you wanted to tease them.

They ask each other about their seme and uke preferences. Yoneda-sensei mentions how she likes semes who would agree to be topped by their uke if he asked for it. She also likes it when the uke has lots of experience while the seme is still a virgin, so the uke totally underestimates the seme but then gets completely worn out by him. Both Senseis are incapable of drawing “super seme” characters.

Yoneda-sensei also talks about how difficult it is to draw characters with special professions like Yoake from Op, because she has to read up a lot of legal stuff for it and even relies on a lawyer to check the chapters for mistakes. They comiserate on how difficult it is to decide on the panel layout for pages. Yoneda-sensei admires that Kusama-sensei has such a unique drawing style whereas she always wonders if her own style will ever be fully developed/complete. She also refuses to draw long haired guys, because drawing long hair is a pain in the ass.
