I’ve ended up drawing the Parks with Nanami a lot more than I thought I would when I first introduced them.
Charlotte debuted with Tiana back in 2010, and I have to assume their friendship is stronger than ever in the Studio. Nanami’s become a big part of Tiana’s life in the Studio in recent years, so it makes sense to me she’d have something going on with her two favorite blondes.
In Erwin’s last Ask I mentioned he was somewhat like Nanami, so I figured there wasn’t any better candidate for someone he could unwind with.
Here is the One-Shot for November 2025, featuring a handful of different pairings/groupings, including a few of my OCs. Our first panel features Rocket Raccoon and Emma Frost from Marvel Rivals, and while I’m quite familiar with both in comics I know nothing about this game. Second panel is two of my Applebridge characters, Marko Laine and Casey Buckner. The third panel features Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling, and the final panel sees a reunion of Applebridge’s Max and Faith Park with Jujutsu Kaisen’s Kento Nanami.
So I think if you have two people you spend a lot of time with, it’d be hard to say who you spend more time with unless there was, like, a huge disparity. Rather, I figured Yuji could focus more on using this Ask as an excuse to get them together, since I kinda feel like they wouldn’t share much time all three of them. Both have their own unique dynamics with Yuji, and then when Gojo and Nanami are together they regress to their schoolboy days a bit with Gojo annoying Nanami and trying to get a reaction out of him. So that’s how we got here; I hope it makes sense.
I know some people were interested in seeing a bit more of Mr. and Mrs. Park, and while this isn’t exactly how i pictured their first non-bio pic, I think it’s a fun one. Max is, of course, the same type of guy as Nanami in a lot of ways, so Faith arranged a fun little meat-up, I mean meet-up.
My original plan for this Scenario was for them to just be having some kind of dry business talk, but nothing I was coming up with sounded like real business talk and also just… didn’t click. I decided to find a different thing for them to talk about instead.
I don’t really know exactly how active Nanami and Gojo are together in the Studio, mostly because I think Nanami would see himself as having better things to do than indulge Gojo. That being said, a little something here and there’s not off the table, and I thought this answer would be fitting.
So this is a new reward I’m testing out for my $20 tier on SubscribeStar. The idea is that Subscribers at this level or above can submit to me scenario ideas, little story-based scenes involving characters within the Studio (though they don’t have to be set in the Studio, like this one is). Each month I’ll choose one that interests me and do my interpretation of the concept. Since this is a test run, how people respond to the concept (both in and outside the tier) will help me decide if it’s something I want to try and keep doing every month.
For this idea I thought it’d be funny if Gojo was just annoying Nanami while he tried to relax with Tiana. That makes this one sort-of a sequel or epilogue to Closing Time. I thought maybe some folks might enjoy seeing this pairing return with a slight twist.
So this is kind of a simple one, but I thought it’d be cute.
This Ask is worded a little confusingly, but I think I got it. When I think about the type of guy who James would most go for, I see him as someone with a bit of a daddy complex. So I ran with that here.
