Gsnk 15th anniversary art. Mayumiko miis in tomodachi life. And somehow both books for muku sensei’s towa-e-moa??? Truly a mayumiko renaissance. Dunno how my life is going otherwise but mayumiko brain is THRIVING. Anyways if anyone needs me I’ll be rewatching gsnk, the comic bang and re-reading moeblobmegane’s mayumiko thread.

happy 15th anni mayumiko <3

Highschool Mayumiko Headcannons!

Or: the brainrot that has been eating away at my brain cells for weeks on end that no one asked for or prompted :)

The art for this can be consumed just as regular mayumiko hc's bc they don't really hold any continuous narrative, but it just tickles a very specific part of my brain to see them aged up like this. Most of these hc's are also still in baby dot point forms because I don't have the power to manifest them into something with more thoughts yet... (I don't want to make little mayumiko comics... but the voices.. the voices tell me to...)

Pls enjoy: HS Year 1 Mayu x HS Year 3 Mikorin

Side: Mikoshiba Mikoto

3st year at Roman High School

Now that he's a senior, Mikoto feels that he should be more confident and relaxed (and also more sure about these feelings he's trying to figure out), but his tendencies to get embarrassed easily seems like they are here to stay.

Doesn't quite understand how Mayu got EVEN TALLER from when he was in middle school (seriously what is that kid eating...)

Cardigan just because I really like cardigan mikorin from the volume. 13 cover :3

Mikoto quickly got to know Kobayashi and Mayu's new friends from Judo club from seeing them at times when he'd wait for Mayu outside the gym for him to finish practice. He's tried to see if he can make Mayu even a little red by imitating Kobayashi ("How was school today, Maa-kun? :3), but Mayu didn't really react and actually told him he would not like to be addressed like that. ("Maybe I should've known... Mayu's probably been friends with Kobayashi for way longer and the nickname is reserved for people he's closer to...")

Mikoto is glad of course that Mayu is making new friends at high school and have more space to grow his passion for Judo, so he's really trying to push down the voices that keeps saying Mayu won't want to hang out with him anymore now that he's around more people, or that Mayu just sees him as "older brother's friend". The years between them in this new senpai-kouhai relationship makes him feel a little bit more lonely than he'd like to admit.

Mikoto has an album of pictures of when Mayu sleeps next to him at lunch break or when he's playing video games or when he's helping Umetarou with his draft or... (you get the point). The resemblence to Noir, the black cat he has at home, is uncanny, apart from the part where Mayu is almost 190cm and can probably eat him for breakfast if he is a feline animal of that size.

Side: Nozaki Mayu

1st year at Roman High School

On the first day of high school Mayu got stopped by at least both the basketball club and the volleyball club thanks to his Nozaki genestm by very passionate seniors (that probably also tried to scout Umetarou), but that didn't stop him from making a beeline for the Judo club.

Isn't a biggest fan of the fact that the uniform includes a tie (troublesome).

Although it's nice that he's now again a junior compared to the older kids at high school and gets to be doted on by his senpai's, Mayu also feels like the senpai-kouhai relationship put up more distance between him and Mikoto. Mayu wonders if Mikoto just sees him as the little brother of a friend, or his junior at school. He wants Mikoto to know that he can also be relied on and dependable.

Mayu is sure that he likes Mikoto-san, probably more than the average person can tell. He enjoys the time they spend together, the way Mikoto would usually let him get away with anything if he stares at him long enough, that Mikoto buys him food, the way that Mikoto rambles on about galges and shoujo-manga and things that he likes, and the way he gets red so eaily. But it's troublesome to try to predict what will happen to their relationship if he speaks these feelings out loud, so he is sitting on them for now.

Mayu doesn't tell Mikoto that the reason why he won't let him say Maa-kun is because he secretly really likes how when Mikoto-san say Mayu, it looks like he is pouting his lips for a kiss* and that's also why he stares.

*(this is actually not my headcannon but I love it so much and desperately needs it to be cannon. source credited to ナツメ on pixiv for this mayumiko fic)

Side: Mayumiko

Since Mayu started going to Roman HS...

Takes the train home/walk together on days when Mikoto isn't going to Nozaki's for manga help

Mikoto dragging Mayu along on his otaku adventures at the mall buying figurines and anime merch (at a cost of a sweet treat every time)

Mikoto always coming to see Mayu's Judo matches ("Anything for my beloved kouhai! And for school spirit of c-course, no personal reasons...")

Kobayashi and the team gets jealous at the crowd of fangirls that starts to form outside the gym in support of Mayu and tells them a harmless little lie (without knowing) that Mayu is actually already seeing someone, namely the red-haired senior that always waits for him after practice. This spirals into a rumour that grows beyond the Judo club and results in a very panicked Nozachiyo for different reasons ("No Nozaki-kun you can't grill your little brother for details about his relationship for the manga!!")

Side: Height difference

These have no narrative importance. I just can't stop thinking about Mayumiko height difference. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Figure a: standing in a Very crowded train carriage :))

I've been dying to draw this since the volume (13?? 14?? 16?? I cannot for the life of me find it when writing this) bonus with middle school nozachiyo chance meeting on the train.

Figure b: probably a scene that would happen in the library

That's probably the bulk of the rant I have for now but I have a few more hc's that I'll post if I find the time to draw them. If this scratches an itch in anyone's brain feel free to take it and run with it and make anything else. I would also like to advertise here again that I am once again in need of your supporttm (read: I really want new Mayumiko fanfics to read) and I would love to do art trades for fics.

afternoon nap

[crabboytahomaru]

the colour difference is really funny to me

[oolongchabomb]

mayumiko tinies!

[oolongchabomb]

vampire mayumiko from tsubaki sensei's art for the vol.13 bonus! <3

[oolongchabomb]

The mayumiko in The Comic Bang does not mess around. Like wdym Mayu is just staring longingly at Mikorin running away in ep20?? Wdym he caught him falling out of a tree twice in a roll??? Wdym he kinda looked guilty when confronted by Nozachiyo about why he was out at a park late at night with Mikorin??? The balance of flustered Mikoto & stoic Mayu dynamic is so perfectly recreated 1:1 from the manga and I am fed. Nourished even. Its also crazy how fast it's implied that they become close?? In the manga it's obviously because of the both of them hanging around Nozaki but in the show there's none of that and it just happens,,?? I imagine this is how it probably seemed to outsiders/Nozachiyo & friends anyway lol because of how much 1 on 1 time mayumiko spends together. This is fufiling years of yearning to see manga mayumiko moments made into motion picture and the live action is now canon in my heart <3

[crabboytahomaru]

I am Reasonable about the mayumiko encounter in this episode. (ep 16 i think...?)

I was slightly less insane when they explained what happened bc my mind was orignally going "mayumiko in the park at night and there is a hole in mikorins shirt that looks very purposeful. do NOT tell me he is somehow wearing a tiddy window shirt"

ANYWAY

first of all: what the fuck are you two doing. it is literally almost midnight. "im teaching him how to get down from a tree" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT??

this is where i did a double take bc that did not look like a ripped shirt to me i was like mikorin i was not aware of your game.

I can't lie when mayu moved to stand in front of mikoto i thought about the umbrella scene w nozachiyo where nozaki walks on the road side to protect chiyo. oh mayu you truly are our suzuki. i just thought it was cute how he moved in front of mikorin, i assume its because the bank is on an incline and wants to prevent him from slipping forward

Nozachiyo pointing out the hole and then Mayu shot where he just straight up stares. chiyo stares too, but she has a very confused facial expression. mayu does not have that when he stares at mikoto. what reason do you have to stare? 🏳️‍🌈?

And after that, mayu is STILL staring at mikorin for the whole discussion. "I was teaching him how to go down a tree" so you told mayu your tree hollow secret and not your closest friends? Granted it is easier to tell someone separate from the situation about a problem, but still. hes literally nozaki's brother.

And they were soo cute heading back together!!! The whole thing really gave secret date I can't lie. I once again emphasise the fact that they're doing this in the middle of the night. How did that even happen. Normal people would organise it during the day. Even if mikorin didnt want to be seen you could have done it some hidden area. the only reason i can think of for being so late at night is that they were texting each other and one of them brought it up and they decided to go out. in which case kinda gay to be texting a guy till midnight.

[nanjokaoru]

that yearning is chronic at this point

[hiphopcherrrypop]

it's his bday >_<

[oolongchabomb]

some suzuki-mamiko parodies...

ending the year with a contribution to mayumiko!! :0

[oolongchabomb]

chucking some kijiyuka stuff I drew a while back here to archive it ig. First few are yakuza AUs bc why not and also everything is captioned in chinese (soz) since it was posted on the other side of the internet first and i cbf to change it (maybe someday)

also drew this bc i thought it'll be fun to have the drama adaptation versions of kijima and yukari interact. sorry not sorry yukari-chan

and lastly a little celebration post for the release of the second season for the drama adaptation coming next year (hooray!! :0)

that is all for now... maybe when i find the time I'll make a masterpost for it because kijiyuka is hella great and the fandom has like 0 persons in it so I'm really desperate for someone to interact with me about it.

[oolongchabomb]

I totally did not only remember tumblr existed as a viable platform for fandom interaction after several years because the only reason i used it in 2019 was for mayumiko and now am coming back for the mayumiko...

[oolongchabomb]

gsnk/mayumiko rant?

so basically i come back and rotate through fandoms every once in a while and sometimes things have weirdly regular cycles for me like akam I crash back into the fandom every 3 years(maybe bc that's how often they make a dc movie featuring the both of them??) and ibsm is maybe like once a year or so. So now time has come for me to again be infatuated with gsnk and mayumiko (hooray :0) which comes with both pros and cons.

Pro:

I now have adult money and can indulge in all the mayumiko merch and get all the manga volumes AND get pixiv premium to look at all the banger art

My japanese has also gotten better for me to consume tsubaki sensei's twitter feed and other non-translated content

there's a good amount of content for me to eat up since i havent rlly kept up with gsnk for a few years

Con:

all the doujins are from like 2015 and now impossible to get...(huge)(i am distressed)(I need to read towa e moa 2 or I'll DIE)

I have run through the ao3 mayumiko catalogue in less than a day and now starving

the fandom seems pretty dead now mostly :,,(

anyways I will probably go on a mayumiko-drawing frenzy for the next few weeks if anyone wants to exchange fics for art OR just wants to ramble about mayumiko together PLS hit me up I am desperate for good mayumiko literature and also very willing to draw accompanying art for any stories/hcs TT

[oolongchabomb]

im about to make so much mayumiko art insane
