Not much to say on this one, other than I thought it might be fun. Due to how I wanted to answer this one the character being Asked doesn’t get to show his face, but that’s not the first time and I think the trade-off is worth it.
The relationship between Mai and Maki, and furthermore Nobara’s relationship with each sister, is complicated and I won’t get into it here. However, with Mai debuting as an anon one of Nobara’s scenes, I think at least these two are on the right path to working things out in the Studio.
With the first Ask of this block I mentioned the Subscriber was looking for a different pairing, and this was it. While I couldn’t really justify doing anything with Nobara and Power for that Ask, a Dare is different. I had a bit of an idea for how they might banter, and thought it’d be fun to see play out.
So, obviously Nobara is not correct about there not being anyone like Inosuke. In fact, I have a pretty good idea of who this Subscriber had in mind with this Ask, but I wanted to do a little something different and I’ll explain why.
I kinda feel like Nobara would find Yuji’s weird boar friend annoying, or not really like him. For whatever reason that’s just the feeling I get when I picture Yuji trying to hang out with both of them at the same time. I also don’t necessarily see her organically forming a friendship with the character this Ask was looking for, although I’m sure they’ll fuck eventually and maybe something could develop under the right conditions in the future. So, I went a different direction here. Nobara and Ashido met during the Febuary ’23 One-Shot, although they didn’t appear on-screen together. These two have pretty different personalities, but I kinda see them hitting it off in a peanut butter and jelly kind of way, and I thought it’d be cute to see a fresh crossover with two characters I’m pretty fond of here. I hope the asker for this one won’t be too disappointed with the outcome here, but I do think this answer actually kinda sets up some alternate paths towards the ship they were looking for.
Yuko Ozawa is a minor character in Jujutsu Kaisen who is an old classmate of Yuji’s. She has a crush on Yuji, and I wanted to do something with her. I also like her dynamic with Nobara in the episode she appears in, though, and had this idea I thought would be fun using all three of them and playing into their dynamic a bit.
This is another Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers. The Subscriber wanted the person fucking Nobara to be Mai Zenin. Unfortunately, I couldn’t think of a good way to make that clear visually, so I decided to add a speech bubble to convey it instead.
So this is an Ask I wanted to do basically for my own reasons… the first and last time I drew Maki and Nobara together was as a commission reward for a Subscriber. It was before I’d seen Jujutsu Kaisen or knew anything about either of them, so it didn’t mean much to me at the time. I really like their relationship in the series, though, and wanted to do something with them again, even if it’s a simple pic like this. Like with Yuji before, I don’t really ship Nobara with any of her friends, but I don’t have any problem picturing her having a fun casual sexual relationship with them.
Usually for these types of Asks I’ll pick a character from another franchise to do a crossover. I was thinking about this one, though, and even though I don’t ship Yuji and Nobara at all, I do think they’d have great sexual chemistry and just kinda wanted to give them a little spotlight just the two of them. So Nobara’s subverting the usual formula for this type of Ask here, but I hope y’all will be okay with that.
This Ask is referencing Jody Crowley’s first Ask, in which Nobara appears. There’s a few potential futas in the Studio, and based on other questions this Subscriber submitted I think they probably had Harkey D. Quinfy in mind. Maybe we can do something with Nobara and Harkey eventually, but I had this image in mind of Nobara having to deal with Inky and Pinky, two OCs of mine from the Spookyverse who can be something of a handful for whomever they set their sights on. I imagine Nobara recruited them to help her demonstrate her answer, but then these two completely overtook the shoot with their antics.
Here’s the One-Shot comic for February 2023, using a script submitted by one of my Subscribers per usual. The idea here was framed as an inter-school competition of some sort between U.A. and Jujutsu Tech, though I don’t know if these scenes depict the contests themselves or just the participants having fun on their own during the event. Either way, there’s a lot of popular characters here, so I hope y’all will enjoy seeing them interact here.
