Gee Tokiyuki, How come your mom lets you have two Kojiros?Previous thread: >>3929229
Glad that the bugs are plot relevant now
>3 million pre-anime to 4 millionKeep it up.
>>3933439This is good to hear. I hope it keeps increasing. I have seen a good bunch of fans who even subscribed to WSJ now on top of buying the manga. Hope they will eventually release more merch, particularly figures. If the merch sells well further success and adaptions are more likely. I am pretty sure that figures or nendos of Kojiro and Sadamune in particular would do well. Probably more than Shizuku.
>>3933460If he was real he would have been lynched by the fans before having the opportunity to explain himself. I fear he's about to do something stupid, though.
Leaks:>>>/a/273595059SPOILERS: It's over...
>>3933636>that blushGod this looks so much like something straight out of a (yaoi) NTR hentai, the "friend" even has the fucking ugly bastard rapist face, what the fuck Matsui
>>3933636>tfw he's an actual gay slutStill think he's the cutest boy
Last week I was one of the ones coping that there wasn't really another man. But now I want that rat bastard to die.
>>3933974Sucks for Sadamune, but I guess not everyone can have a faithful husband like Kojiro.
>>3933974Ichikawa always struck me as turbo gay so the moment it was hinted that he talks to another male individual I was convinced it would be a new boyfrendo. Hate and love it at the same time. I need more gay manwhores in manga and Ichikawa is cute, but I don't want Sadamune to suffer. It's complicated. Somehow Matsui has made some doujinshi ideas canon before the fans could draw them.
Cute. But the flashback in this made me sadhttps://x.com/YosiYosi_100/status/1863949110442967216
>>3934342That's some cool art. I feel like way too much of Takauji's fanart is genderbending or too moefied for my taste.
>>3934345I don't mind the moe stuff but it's true that it's hard to find artists who portray Takauji's appeal as a man
>>3934273I hope random nameless guard swoops in to comfort our hero with his unwavering loyalty and love.
>>3934376I don't believe he will ever appear again but it would be cool if he did. That dude has an unreasonable amount of fanart for a nameless character that only appeared in a single scene. Well technically two, if you count the omake panel at the end of the chapter.

>>3934558It sucks that we didn't get a color version, so here's a color version I made with AI.

>>3934605>Premieres in 43 hoursAwww, still excited though
>>3934657Yorishige looks better in this costume IMO. I always liked his design but wasn't a big fan of the white priest clothes.
>>3934345I wouldn't mind the genderbends if it weren't grotesque coomer art most of the time.
>>3934729Same but that's typical for most genderbending art regardless if it's made by women or men. A female Takauji with similar charisma as the real one would be cooler.Talking about it I strangely never saw genderbending art for the two you posted save for sketches from one artist. I assume that Sadamune is just too much of a CHAD to genderbend and Ichikawa is probably too gay to be a girl.
I sometimes wonder how big the adults in this series are. They look huge but they're probably manlets for modern standards but it's hard to tell and there are rarely multiple characters shown standing side by side.
>>3934832Historically accurately: Everyone's a manletGiven this manga doesn't care too much about historical accuracy especially with designs: Measure character heights by number of headsGiven Matsui's character's proportions can be drawn inconsistently: Shrug your shoulders and imagine them as whatever heights you like
>>3934615Did you rike it?
>>3935445It was very nice. I hope they use post-timeskip material in these types of promotions but I guess they're waiting until the anime gets there.
There is fanart for the Sadamune teacup they're selling
Whatever, I think the dude with fkmt nose is cute
>>3936262Soon
>>3936367Best shota IMO
>>3935911Nightmare mode Takauji is peak.
>>3936551This is my favorite genre of Takauji fanart as well. I wonder when we will see him again.
This series has so many peak male characters and designs, bless Matsui's creativity.
>>3936913Even if he doesn't make another historical series afterwards, I hope others in the industry have caught on to his talent here and take him on as a character designer
>>3937165I am very glad that he made something historical in hindsight. I feel like his creativity with designs even increased but traditional uniforms and clothes always make it even better. And I am a fan of samurai, hitatare/eboshi fashion and katana anyway (besides liking military shit) so this is made for me. I can get into almost every dude in this series and I think I like all of them or at least see the potential in them, in case that it's someone who only appeared in a bunch of panels.
