Description
"I thought you didn't like skinny sticks?"I drew this as a Valentine's Day present for ~MadameManga. And between this, and chapter 152 of BOTI released in Afternoon this month, I'd judge she's been having a VERY good valentine's day!
I was trying to make it a sort of parallel to the 'body like a barked twig' incident that earned Manji a sake pitcher to the head.
I've got a few complaints about it, like how through a few different factors, Rin came out looking much more mature than I was trying for. And the sort of background frame is kinda lame, but it gives the piece a more finished air than most of my pieces look. It's a step in a direction at least.
Manji and Rin, from Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura. Check it out :3

If you enjoy this pairing, or at least would love to see it explored further, Mme Manga has done an EXEMPLARY job with her fic 'Abstinance Education.' (Link to her collected volumes: [link] )
It's tone, violence and drama are very true to the source, and like the series, the realizations and drives of the characters have to be reevaluated along the way as everything turns out not to be as simple as 'love' or 'revenge' would seem
The store starts in the middle of volume 14 (After Rin and Manji are reunited after Kaga) too, so your pretty well set as far as not getting too spoiled with what's happened before those volumes.
I've always had a simmering interest in the dynamics and tension of this subtle pairing, but it took Mme Manga's insight and her fic to actualize it to the point where it was real (not to mention fun) enough to draw.

thank you so much! This will do a great job of adding fuel to the fire. >D
I can't seem to get enough of this pairing. It can go either ways, I swear. So thanks again for the linkage ^^
I'll let you know when I post fanart. Which should be soon, because I have excess amounts in my sketchpad, haha.

I have to admit I've always been fond of Rin's toes in this sketch. <3
