Description One of my favorite aspects of Ichiruki is that they have this kind of obvious subtlety to them. They're both such straightforward people--you always know what they think about something, and they won't hesitate to put you in line--but at the same time, they can be so reticent about openly expressing friendship and love. I feel like so much of their relationship, at least how they handle it in public (when they're not bickering, of course), would be based on subtle touches and quick glances out of the corner of the eye rather than open displays of affection.

Which is fantastic, of course, and I love them for it, but sometimes I just want to draw them being cute.

Hand-drawn, lined and colored in Manga Studio & CS2.

Even though this is a very affectionate piece (which I love) you still kept that wonderful subtlety you mentioned in the way they touch- Ichigo's light touching of Rukia's hand and her tugging on a single lock of his hair.

BEAUTIFUL. As always the expressions are PERFECT and so very very them.

This is wondeful! I like ichiruki very much ,they know eachother very well .

In my country ichiruki is the number one ship .

lulu.Rukia is tough, strong, independent, and yes, forceful. These aren't the typical

traits of shounen female characters. But she's also very gentle, kind, caring,

disregards her own welfare for others, loving.

Ichigo had a piece of Rukia's soul as a part of him.

Gorgeous!

With the current situation in Bleach, I miss good IchiRuki terribly! And this... oh it's just perfect to feed my OTP hunger
Thank you for making this and for brightening my day!

WHOOPS, that was an accident. I'd submitted it to an incorrect group and was just trying to get it out of that one, and I must have clicked the wrong group. If you'll send it another invite, I'll put it back in. My bad!

I've been following your works at BA where I tried repping the post where you share this but failed. BA said I'm giving you too much rep that I have to share it first to others before I could give you more. Good think you have a deviant art account.

On your fan art this is just lovely and I really find Rukia very pretty

If you're into pairings, you should join the group I just made! "Casa-De-Pairings" and we can all see your pairing work on there and you can check them out

ditto this

also just so you know this pops up on page 2 of searching IchiRuki

you would probably suck less if you were online more.
