Description why did I think this was a good idea

This was super-fun to draw though. I seriously enjoyed myself

I ship Tenma with p much EVERYBODY.

Grimmer/Tenma is sweet as hell. A doujinshi I found pretty much sold me on the couple. Not just cute but they can also be quite sensual.

Not gonna lie. I didn't expect to ship Johan/Tenma at all because I don't usually go for that kind of relationship dynamic but the fics have been so good. And, Johan's a lot more complicated than I initially thought.

As for Nina/Tenma... Nina just sounded so cute and happy when she heard Tenma was coming back. The VA made it sound like she had a crush. Re-reading the earlier volumes she asked Tenma if he was her 'Knight on a white horse'. And, if you've seen/read Monster you know that actually isn't too far from the truth in a lot of ways.

Aww, thanks for sharing the short tenma/grimmer doujinshi story in the comments below. The download for "Blow-up" doesn't work anymore but that's all right.

At first when I saw a page of the doujinshi in your tumblr I thought it was from the actual manga itself and I was like "HOW COME I DON'T REMEMBER SUCH THING HAPPENING ;__; ", haha, the artist imitated Naoki-sensei style so well.

I agree, the height difference is so cute [link] .

I love that oekaki so much. It's so adorable and I think that artist is my favorite Monster artist.

no problem and thanks. I'm surprised the original artist uploaded the Red Riding Hood Tenma story to her Pixiv.
This awesome artist is also one of the few that still draws Monster fanart regularly~ and sadly Pixiv overall doesn't have much Monster fanart.

Grimmer/Tenma? Hahah, no way. Poor Tenma was put through hell during that series, he deserves to be with a hottie...I nominate Johan! I like this pairing because Tenma is a total sweetie and Johan is a murderous psycho, yeah this pairing would be terrible in real life but for some reason in fiction I find it cute.

By the way, great work!

I love you with a passion. This is wonderful. It's hilarious, it's well drawn, I love the style and the sketchiness of it and Weeaboo Runge is great. Personally, I'm a shipper of Grimmer/Tenma myself. I like how you added in Eva, too, of course. A lot of people seem to be opposed to that shipping even if it was canon in the beginning. I like it, too. If only a Monster Dating Sim existed, I'd hope it would be made like this.

Thank you! It was fun and maybe a little embarrassing to make ahahaha.

Grimmer/Tenma is awesome and seriously adorable! I love how they almost look like a married couple when they're together. It makes me HGNHHHH and they are so sweet. Not gonna lie, I was actually kinda rooting for Eva and Tenma to make up, but the Martin episode dampened that a bit because it made me realize that it probably wasn't gonna work out. They had both changed too much.

Thank you for your comment ^^

XD You're welcome. It inspires me to create things of that sort of my own.

Oh, I know! They are precious. That's really why I support them. They have great chemistry too. I completely agree with your comment, all the characters changed significantly by the end. Now that you mention Martin/Eva, I'd have to say that made a lot more of an emotional impact on me. Their relationship was tragic and beautiful.

But, you're very welcome again!

I understand that feeling all too well.

I agree, definitely! I love how instantly they got along. Grimmer is kind and gentle to to a weary Tenma. He's very careful with his words and knows just what to say. And Tenma is patient and understanding with Grimmer. They compliment each other well.

Ohh yes, I cried during that episode. I always got excited when Eva appeared because I knew it was gonna involving and emotional episode.

GuroxChan In reply to cloverinblue [2012-01-15 01:53:51 +0000 UTC]

I perfectly agree. Their personalities compliment each other so well! I don't usually grow so attached to shippings like this, I'm not a person who's strictly canon or anything, but at the same time I don't ship things unless they make sense, and frankly I just can't see Grimmer or Tenma with anyone else but each other.

Ahah, me too! I love Eva. I plan to cosplay her someday. Her episodes were always so intense and rich with emotion. I wish that her and Martin would have had a happier end but I doubt it would have been as powerful as they had.

I don't know if you support femslash, but am I the only one who sees potential in Ana/Lotte? Their friendship was so adorable...especially when Ana defended her at the party.

cloverinblue In reply to GuroxChan [2012-01-15 17:16:39 +0000 UTC]

Mm, I understand. I can't -just- ship two hot dudes for the sake of seeing two hot guys together. There has to be more to it.

That's so cool. Will you be wearing a wig or using your natural hair? And I don't think Eva's transformation would have been as complete sadly enough. I hope she found happiness after the series.

Oh, I like femslash too! At the time, it didn't occur to me but retroactively, after seeing everything, it's definitely a possibility. Their personalities seem to fit.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

GuroxChan In reply to cloverinblue [2012-01-15 22:59:35 +0000 UTC]

Exactly my thoughts! Likewise with any other sort of shipping, I can't just ship two characters because I find it aesthetically appealing...there has to be some sort of connection. Grimmer and Tenma are basically perfect to me in that sense.

I'll be using a wig, my natural hair is a much darker colour. My friend will be cosplaying Anna with me. We also plan to cosplay Tenma and Johan someday as well. I agree, I really hope so too. It saddens me when the fandom belittles her development, too, and only sees her as the snobby rich girl that she was in the beginning of the serious. She's so much more than that.

Yeah, I agree. I just love the friendship they've formed and I love their interaction. They are adorable. Personally, I'm not a fan of Karl either...especially not after all that happened with him and Lotte.

By the way, I followed your tumblr! (I'm 21stcentury boys on it) You've quickly become one of my new favorite artists and your tumblr is exactly my kind of thing.

That sounds really cool. I wish I knew someone irl that liked Monster.

Hmm the way I see it when Eva gets hated on, I think the people who do that don't understand her yet. lol I remember when I was in 6th grade I absolutely hated Relena and Wufei from Gundam Wing. Hahaha, but looking back on it they were both probably one of the more interesting characters from that show for sure.

I saw! I followed you back too. You are too kind, hahaha. I apologize in advance but I'm actually pretty shy so sorry if I seem aloof. I get the impression that I give that vibe. ;;;

GuroxChan In reply to cloverinblue [2012-01-22 23:25:46 +0000 UTC]

To be quite honest, I don't really know anyone that likes it irl. My friend jumped on the chance to cosplay Johan because he interests her, and she knows of Monster briefly, but it's more of a single character fascination. Likewise with how she's going to cosplay Anna. I don't mind, though, we always cosplay in pair...so it's good to have at least a little matching group. I wish I knew people who really loved Naoki Urasawa in general like I do irl. /sorry for mini rant

Yeah, I get you. XD That is true. A lot of people don't really see beyond her than what they initially learn of her. Oh, I use to be the same with that sort of thing! XD I use to hate all sorts of characters, especially if they do one single thing wrong that irritated me. I haven't watched Gundam yet, though, how's it like?

Yes, I noticed! Thank you. No, no, I think you're too kind. Most would dismiss me as annoying...(I don't blame them. XD) Oh, not at all. You're very kind and friendly, thus you are my sort of person. I love your art and I hope you know that you inspire me a lot, I've sort of taken a long break from art as I felt really awful at it, but your art makes me want to pursue it further.

Sorry for the very long response.

This is so awesome! I just love the *stare at the ground with a pensive look* XD so great!

If you don't mind me asking, but what are the fanfics of Johan/Tenma? I can't find any to save my life, and the ones I have found are too OOC for my liking ^^"

cloverinblue In reply to IzQuizicall [2012-01-09 15:28:12 +0000 UTC]

Surrrre, I'll post the ones I've liked and found convincing.

Time for a Change by deecherrywolf - ([link] ) - Tenma returns from his time with Doctors Without Borders to watch after Johan. Adult and takes place post-series Has a little bit of Tenma/Nina too.

Worse Than Death by futotta neko - ([link] ) - Tenma faints in the library at the end of Munich arc. He wakes up to " find himself completely at the mercy of the monster he had been hunting."
This one sold me on the pairing. A very fantastic fic that demonstrates the push and pull between Tenma and Johan. Sadly though, it it not finished but I highly recommend reading it anyway. Adult and takes place during the series after the Munich arc

House Call by Tsukiori - ([link] ) - A certain meddling doctor thinks that even would be Anti-Christs need the occasional checkup. Johan/Tenma, Alluded Tenma/Lunge. This is my personal favorite. Takes place post-series.

Happiness by Tsukiori - ([link] ) - Drunk Johan and fluffy in a plausible way. It's not explained how but in this fic but they seem to be living together. Post-series?
