Beach Treat, Page 5

Here’s page five of Beach Treat! I don’t think there’s much I can say about this page right now, but I tried to keep the story moving in a reasonable direction with the scripts I had. It felt like some ideas were eager to jump to a point that didn’t feel natural to me from where we were, and I hope those Subscribers don’t get discourage that their ideas didn’t show up here. I’m not against them, but I don’t want to force them in just to move the comic in that direction. I think this page flows naturally from the last, and I’m curious to see where we go from here.

Maki Gamou Character Ask 3

I was considering this Ask at first purely just because I like Gamo-chan and haven’t drawn her in a bit. As I thought about it more, though, their dynamic fleshed out a bit in my mind. Kobeni does kind of naturally lend herself to being bullied, so it wasn’t hard to fit them together like this. I think this is a bit of an unconventional crossover, but I had fun pairing these two up.

For the second page of Beach Treat I had a difficult balance to strike with the submitted scripts. The final page I settled on is kind of its own thing removed from any one direction people were pushing the comic, I think, but uses elements from what was submitted to get there. The first panel is something I really wanted to work into this comic but didn’t think would fit in later, though, so I kinda pulled an executive decision to fit it in.

Kobeni Higashiyama Character Ask 1

Kobeni has a brief line about her options for earning money for her family, where she mentions prostitution as something she could’ve done besides devil hunting. Now, I’m not advocating for prostitution as a great job here or anything, however I did kinda like the idea of Kobeni reconsidering that once she’s lived the NH Studio lifestyle a bit. For her partner here I went with Kaori from City Hunter, ’cause she reminds me a bit of the lady Kobeni gravitated to during the drinking party, which is my headcannon for her type now.

This month we begin our new yuri ongoing comic, replacing Pajama Party Pussy. It seems people wanted to see some of the Chainsaw Man ladies having some fun. At first I was worried about how this comic would mess up the narrative I had going with Denji about waiting for Makima, due to the SS ongoings posting earlier than everything else, but then the May NHML ended up doing that even worse. At any rate, Kobeni gets to debut here. Even though we only see them for a bit, I gave her and Power canon swimsuits we’ve seen before. I don’t think Makima has anything like that, though, but I figured a simple white bikini would work for her. Our ladies’ beach trip got steamy pretty quickly, and I hope y’all will look forward to the next page.
