I love your most recent nrmy piece so much. Like even if they are not a couple it still fits their dynamic XD

Exactly!

When I was drawing, this scene kept popping up in my head, because it honestly has the same energy.

I love them so much! 😭💙💜

Interview under the cut!

My name is Kobayashi Tommy. I'm a freelance artist currently working on my own manga. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on my first zine.

When did you start shipping Narumayo? Back in 2021, I was scrolling through twitter one day, and noticed an influx of narumayo art on my timeline. Turns out it was narumayo day (July 4th), and I couldn't help but be charmed by all the incredible art. I felt like a lot of them perfectly portrayed the casual intimacy they shared, and that's what I love about their relationship.

What is your favourite narumayo scene? My favorite narumayo scene has to be when Phoenix gets a little overwhelmed by Maya's enthusiasm to be investigating together again. She even orders him to say something, so as to not awkwardly be the only one excited by it, and Phoenix replies back with "Y-YES MA'AM" twice. They're like a married couple, it's so cute.

Hello! I am loving your nrmy sketches :D they really carry across that purest form of love and admiration well <3 where do you get inspiration from?

Thank you very much for the kind words!

The subtle intimacy between them is what inspires me to try to convey that feeling through my art. Also, I started drawing narumayo because I felt there was a lack of it online, so I feel inspired and motivated knowing that more narumayo is out there in the world, and I hope to encourage others to do the same.
