Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers)

Fumi Manjōme Character Ask 1

Some of you may recognize Fumi and Okudaira here from their MomSwap entries not too long ago. In Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers) these two are childhood friends who reunite, and while it’s clear where their relationship is heading the anime adaptation never quite made it there. This is a canon couple, though, and one I’ve intended to draw since first bringing them into the Studio. I wouldn’t mind drawing Fumi with her ex, Yasuko, either, or just drawing more Fumi in general since I’m really fond of her.

MomSwap – Yasuko and Chie Sugimoto

This is the final of my three planned Aoi Hana MomSwap entries. Yasuko is a cool basketball girl that Fumi dates for a bit in the show. We meet her family, including a few older sisters and her mother. Chie, Yasuko’s mom, is a bit older than the other two moms from this series I drew. We only meet her briefly, but she seemed nice and I thought she had a nice charm to her so I wanted to draw these two while I was at it.

 

Also, for anyone interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

MomSwap – Akira and Sakiko Okudaira

This is the second of the three Aoi Hana MomSwaps I have planned. Akira is Fumi’s best friend and eventual love interest, and while I like her as a character she’s less my type design-wise. That creates an interesting dichotomy here for this entry, because it’s basically the daughter I’m least interested in plus the mom I’m most into, of the trio. Anyway, I hope some of y’all will enjoy these redheads.

MomSwap – Fumi and Yoshie Manjōme

MomSwap is a series I’ve been neglecting for a minute, so I’m going to attempt to rectify that by trying to do one monthly the same way I have been the Studio Life Magazine and Pokédex series. I’ve got a long list of mother/daughter pairings to work through, but I’m hoping to make some good progress now with this change.
Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers) is a cute yuri anime I watched with one of my siblings about a year ago. I’ve been waiting since then to do something with it, and I have three pairings from the series I want to do in MomSwap. They’ll be spaced out a little, but I’m excited to work on them in the future. Here we have Fumi, the central character of the show, and her mother. I really adore Fumi, and it was a lot of fun to finally draw her for this pic.
