Maria and Yuzuru from A Silent Voice!!
I haven't yet watched the movie of A Silent Voice, but judging from the fandom I can tell Yuzuru and Maria probably never interacted. Even in the manga they barely did; but every one of those rare moments was precious, so I expected that would be sufficient to prompt a few fanworks or at least discussions. Instead, let alone the duo, I've barely even seen Maria get acknowledged. Like how?? She's so adorable?? And so drawable.
So here I present a little drawing of my favourite underrated duo. I love the wholesome chaos of the Ishida family, and I love how Yuzuru basically got adopted into it. It's so heartwarming. Shoya's sister was canonically pregnant at the end of the manga -- I like to imagine Yuzuru hanging out with Shoya and his half-Brazillian niblings(?)(is that what you call nieces and nephews?) and confusing the hell out of everyone they pass by with their unique yet adorable family dynamics.
I hope there are other people out there who also enjoy this duo! I've honestly not met anyone who's read the manga, which is a shame because I absolutely adore it.
