My submission for the Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Picturesque Arc Zine, a project based on the Picture Perfect Arc of the series.

Nene and Shijima attempts to escape the ideal canvas world, while Hanako's desolate eye in the real world looms over, watching them.

My card pieces for a hanafuda card deck and zine project, based on the Toilet-bound Hanako-kun series. The Picture Perfect arc was my favourite part of the series, so I wanted to pay homage to it!

Based on the March cards, the hanami curtain and a branch with three clusters of cherry blossoms:

Nene and Shijima both grapple with life, death, and their looming fates, so I wanted to show that while basing the composition off of the card's original design.

Switched roles AU: Navy captain Kazuha + travelling mercenary Beidou

Fugitive Kazuha is captured by the Shogun’s forces and serves time as firstly, a prisoner of Inazuma’s thunderous seas and secondly, to monitor the coasts for any unauthorized travelers. He cuts his hair and rises the ranks to become the naval captain of his own ship, Captain Manyou of the Gusting Gale. 

After a major storm that decimates the Crux, Beidou ends up near the coasts of Inazuma. She is rescued by the naval captain and temporarily joins him before she begins her journey to find survivors of her own crew. As a mercenary, she gathers her victories and funds for travel from bounties. 

More notes because I’m a kazoo simp and baedou is my SEA QUEEN: 

Both Beidou and Kazuha carry their original elemental visions and original weapons (ex. Beidou still carries an electro vision and wields a claymore).

The major storm that decimates the Crux was the battle of Osial.

Of the two, Beidou is still better at sailing than Kazuha having longer experience as a pirate. 

She keeps her hair in a ponytail-bun to fight without much hair in her face.

Initially Kazuha becomes a sea laborer and sailor in exchange for keeping his vision. This is meant to be a life and death sentence in itself considering the treacherous seas of Inazuma, riddled with broken ships. With his keen sense of the winds, he has been able to survive the sea storms longer than anyone has expected.  

Pressure from the commissions leads Kazuha to change his identity to avoid rousing public eye. Kazuha or “万葉” can be read as “manyou”.

Kazuha still plans to change the Vision Hunt Decree, and he is biding his time. As captain, he also bends the rules and attempts to take Inazuman escapees into his crew if they choose. 

He wears more green over red to show that he has yet to break free from the Shogun’s control. This reflects how maple leaves are green before turning red in autumn, and his secret ambitions. In colour theory, green is a natural corrector to redness and the opposite of red. For aesthetic purposes, I used the leaves of Japanese black lace maple as inspiration:
