I’ve been enjoying drawing the Azumanga Daioh girls again recently, but as much as I love Yomi, Kagura was always my favorite from that series. I thought this Ask would be a good excuse to revisit her, especially since it allows me to also pair her up with one of my favorite ladies from Golden Boy. If I ever did a pool-focused update of my game, these two would very likely be on the list for it, so it makes sense to me they’d bump into each other. Being a competitive girl prone to hero worship, learning of Ayuko’s Olympic pedigree would probably make her eager to learn whatever she could from her.
The fourth episode of Golden Boy is focused on a swim instructor at a public pool. Ayuko Hayami is a tall, intimidating woman. In the episode, Kintaro has one or two fantasies of her as a dominatrix, but since those are only in his head I decided to not go in that direction with this episode’s pic. I figured they could just have some fun in the shallow end of the pool, and Kintaro could wear his little swim cap from the episode.
