This One-Shot was pretty intense to work on, fitting in the most shown characters the script would allow. I tried to vary things up with three different approaches to a yaoi threesome, and I hope y’all will enjoy the results.
So I kinda saw this Ask as a way to tie together a few different threads, mostly revolving around Yuji. Yuji has more friends in the Studio than these four, but I think this makes a good group and any more would’ve been too much for me to manage. Corey’s sitting this one out since it’s not his speed, but I decided to let Kipo join him on the couch since this Ask is taking up a “yaoi” slot in my production schedule. Anyway, I like this odd little Studio friend group and they seem to be having fun together.
Here’s the final page to this little comic. Everybody gets to finish on someone’s face. Some of you may remember that this comic was commissioned to help cover expenses following a personal disaster, but the commission I sold was for ten pages. This marks the end of the first half of that commission, and sometime down the road I’ll begin working on another five-page comic that makes up the second half.
I feel like I’ve seen Yuji paired in one way or another with almost every pink-haired anime character out there, but I feel like Bocchi ranks high among them. Partly just due to their series getting popular around the same time, I think, I’ve seen many JJK/Bocchi memes, edits, whatever. I wanted to do something with them here, and hopefully this dynamic between them will be fun for people.
So I’ve had this notion in my head for a while now that Kipo would make naturally good friends for both Yuji and Corey separately. I won’t get into the reasons for either, but I see them as relatively platonic pals who can hang out together (although I’d say the same for Yuji and Nobara, and they still fuck, so I’m not saying that’s off the table). Kipo’s obviously way too young for Corey, but I still think they’d make good pals. I’ve mentioned this in passing a few times, so I expect the anticipated answer was something along these lines.
Like with the female performers, we had some ties with our top male performers, but at least here there was more symmetry. Yuji and Goku both tied for our top returning males, while Al and Sero tied for our male rookies. It honestly didn’t feel to me like I drew Sero as much as I did Al, but that’s probably in part because he served a mostly-anon role in one of his appearances. Regardless, I decided to pair Al up with Goku, since last year’s version of this pic had Goku with Ed. That left Sero with Yuji, naturally.
I always figured whenever Jiji made it to the Studio, one of the first people I’d want to cross him over with would be Yuji. I’m far from the first to notice the parallels between them, to the point I wouldn’t be shocked if Dandadan’s writer some day said Jiji was directly inspired by Yuji. At any rate I thought this Ask would be a fun way to do something with them.
