Ouroboros 🐍♾️
Ouroboros, the snake devouring its own tail, represents the eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth. Eternal return.
Intro Rambles ❤️
KuroEne Rough Sketch Concept by Sen (@/stepswordsen)
Original Composition (Poses) by MOT (@/tikkeul5)
I commissioned MOT to draw my beloved KuroEne as an Album Style Cover 🖤💙🐍🐇
MOT has a lovely art style, design, and aesthetic sense, so I wanted to request KuroEne with MOT's "You and Me" Hand Heart YCH (Your Character Here) Template. ❤️🫶
I created a rough sketch concept (up above) to serve as a visual guide, to help clarify details such as their design details, colours, expressions, and the chosen text. ✍️
I'm very touched that MOT accommodated all of my requests, and incorporated many elements from the rough sketch I included in the request form 🥺🙏
I was overjoyed when I received the final piece! They perfectly captured what I envisioned! 🥰💗💘
I sent the commission form at night, and saw the final artwork when I woke up in the morning. I was so stunned at how MOT delivered the art so quickly, with such high art quality. 🤯‼️
The rest of my rambles are under the cut~ ✨
Requests 🎨
MOT kindly incorporated all of my requests I specified! ☺️
I specified the expressions, colours, and text. 😌
I also requested for Ene to be drawn with open circle pupils, and for Saeru to have black nails (since it's an HC of mine), and for them both to be drawn with eyelashes 🖤💙
I also asked that the playback duration numbers to be changed to XX:XX.
The playback duration numbers XX:XX represents that it is infinite (never ending) ❌♾️
Their ship name is included as: クロエネ (KuroEne)
I was wondering what to use for the Album Cover's Main Title, and eventually settled on "Ouroboros ♾️"
I also considered ship epithets like "Last Dance" and "Love is Karma" because "Last Dance at World's End" is the name of my KuroEne AU.
But I figured it'd be more fitting to go with "Ouroboros ♾️" since it's just too cool as an Album Cover Title, and I wanted a unique ship epithet for each of my ships.
"Ouroboros ♾️" is immediately recognizable as them, and perfectly encapsulates their relationship. 🐍♾️
I love Ene being drawn with white open circle pupils. I think it really fits her cyber-esque design. 🌐
I always depict Saeru with black painted nails. It feels like such a natural HC, that I completely forget he doesn't have them in canon. It just fits him so well... 🤭🖤
I wanted Ene to have bright ice blue eyes against Saeru's vivid blood red. ❤️💙
Ene has circular pupils, so her design has softer shapes, in comparison to Saeru's sharp snake eye pupils. Saeru also has sharper shapes (messy hair tufts).
I also figured it'd fit for them to both have neutral, calm and composed expressions while gazing at each other intensely. 🤭💞
I was thinking of the colours having a atmosphere similar to these shots! 🖤❤️💙🤍
I wanted the colours to be reminiscent of late Outer Science Saeru with glowing red eyes and blood soaked hands… ❤️
Saeru with red eyes is a great detail, since it implies that Awakening Eyes is in use. It's also a cool reference to his bloodied hands and glowing red eyes in Outer Science. ❤️
That's also why I chose the colour of their hands and the BG colour to be red! 👍
Thoughts 💭
When I sent the comm form at night in my time, I was NOT expecting to see the finished art when I woke up in the morning. 🤯
The finalized art was sent after 8 hours. I was awed at MOT's drawing speed.
I SCREAMED. THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL 😭 🥹 🙏 🛐
THE COLOURS AND EXPRESSIONS ARE PERFECT 💘💞❣️
It's so gorgeous… The way MOT drew their design details is so pretty… 😭💘💞🙏
They perfectly captured what I had envisioned!
KuroEne doing the heart hands pose together is so sexy. 🫶
I love how they harmonized the colours. The expressions, colours, and details are stunning… 🥺🙏
The colours and atmosphere are perfect… The intense gaze on each other is just 😘💗❣️🫶
I figured that I'd make a rough sketch to clarify their design details, expressions, and the placement of colours and text. I sent it along with the request form ❣️🫶
I'm very touched that they used elements from my rough sketch (how Saeru and Ene's hair, eyes, facial markings, etc., are drawn) 🤭
I love the contrast of Saeru's vivid blood red against Ene's ice blue for opposite (opposing) colours~ ❤️💙
With Saeru taking black/red and Ene taking white/blue colours, they have perfect contrasting colours. The visual contrast is so perfect… 🖤❤️💙🤍
The design sense and aesthetic are just impeccable… 🖤💙
Review ✨
This is the review I sent~ 💖✨
The artwork is so beautiful~ I love it so much! 🥹💞 You captured the characters’ expressions, colours, and details, so perfectly! 🖤💙
This is my first time using CREPE as a client. I sent a commission request before going to bed, and the artwork arrived when I woke up in the morning. ‼️
I was speechless that you finished the artwork so quickly! Your work speed is so fast, and the quality is amazing! It is exactly as I imagined. ☺️🙏
The atmosphere is incredible. Your art style, aesthetic sense, and attention to detail are so amazing. It exceeded my expectations! 😭💞
I’m super happy! I keep staring at this masterpiece 🥺💖 The intense gazes and expressions are just too good… 🫶
You adjusted the text colour to fit the design, which I love, because the bright red colour really makes the artwork stand out. ❤️
Incredibly kind, and easy to communicate with. Thank you for accommodating my additional requests, such as Saeru's black nails 🙏
I was so touched that you incorporated all of my requests. You even included elements from the sketch I included as a rough guideline. 🥹💖
Thank you so much for the amazing commission! 🥰💗 I will definitely order again in the future~ ✨
I wanted to send a tip to show my appreciation. 🙏 The final artwork is truly outstanding. 💙🖤
Thank you very much once again~ 🥰💞 I will definitely be back as a customer in the future. ☺️🙏
Kuroha: “Wishes are fodder (for me), and humans are my seedbed.” (*)
Notes:
Alt 1: “Wishes are bait, and mankind is my seedbed.”
Alt 2: “What I wish for is prey, and mankind is my seedbeed.”
Official Translation by Yen Press
Kuroha: What I seek is prey…
…And mankind is my hunting ground. (*)
---
クロハ：願いは「餌」だ
クロハ：人間どもは「苗床」だ
---
(Kuroha: Negai wa “esa” da.)
(Kuroha: Ningen domo wa “naedoko” da.)
---
Notes:
Dialogue from Kagerou Daze Manga: Ch. 62 - NO TITLE
餌 (Esa, “Animal feed; fodder; pet food; bait; lure; enticement”)
苗床 (Naedoko, “Seedbed; seed plot; nursery”)
Notion Version
Copied my rambles over from my Notion Docs for those that prefer the picture version with line breaks and highlights.
Rambles
Kagerou Daze: Ch. 62 - NO TITLE - Saeru speaks with Konoha
“What I wish for is prey, and mankind is my seedbed.” (Literal Translation)
“What I seek is prey… And mankind is my hunting ground.” (Official English Translation by Yen Press)
Wanted to ramble a bit.
I think the JP wording is so interesting.
The original line has such interesting wording…
I LOVE Yen Press’ prose and how they translated this line.
I posted my literal TL above.
Oh, the JP wording is interesting... I also learned a new word with this.
Yen Press translated his dialogue SO well. This line is SOOO good. I love it so much!!! 🖤 💛 🐍
“Wishes are bait/fodder” → More literal TL of the JP text.
“What I wish for is prey” → More liberal TL by Yen Press.
I definitely understand how Yen Press got that, with Saeru basically saying, “What I wish for is bait/fodder” -> "What I seek is prey..."
Especially since “bait” is used to lure in and entice prey.
The way Yen Press translated his dialogue here is so good. It perfectly plays up to Saeru Hebi being the predator animal (“hunter”) and the Mekakushi Dan (“Eyes”) being his prey (targets)
He’s the instigator of the time loop tragedy, and the “orchestrator” and “winner” of this game.
Reminds me of a puppet master who controls the strings.
The evil, cruel, powerful snake, and these weak little humans!!! (At least in his eyes)
Notes
Word:
餌 (Esa, "Bait”)
餌 (Esa) refers to food you give to an animal. It could refer to bait to lure prey (ex. when fishing), or animal feed (ex. when feeding your pets)
Word:
苗床 (naedoko, "seedbed; nursery; seed-plot")
Consists of:
苗 (nae, "seedling; sapling; young plant")
床 (toko, "bed; bedding; floor")
Misc Rambles
I think what's also interesting is that the JP version uses the same wording (repetition) of “Desire” (*) to emphasize the “Desire” that underlies Saeru's origins and motives (to fulfill his Master’s desire, since Azami’s original desire is what’s sustaining him)
Note: 願い (negai, “desire; wish; hope”)
As a language, English is harsh on repetition unlike Japanese, and needs to avoid sounding too stiff.
Though I do think Yen Press keeps it pretty intact with the use of “Desire”
With the original JP version, his wording does evoke the imagery of a “human seedbed” 🌱
It also reminds me that Saeru has referred to the Mekakushi Dan as “pitiful little sheeps” (哀れな子羊たち, aware na kohitsuji-tachi) 🐏🐑
For me, it evokes the imagery of the poor little sheeps falling prey to the big bad snake... 🐍
A seedbed is a bed where seeds are grown (where seedlings are planted) 🌱
The place (world made by Azami) where “seeds” (humans) are “planted” (birthed)
Huh...
I bet he’d have such a fascinating viewpoint of the world.
After all, Saeru Hebi is the embodiment of Azami’s knowledge/wisdom. 🤭
Also my internet has been SO ass lately, like it keeps randomly disconnecting 😭
Shitpost Rambles
I originally wrote these as tags but tbh I think I should add these rambles to the post itself.
Also with how Saeru calls Konoha 兄弟 (kyoudai, “brother; sibling; mate; friend”) and 同胞 (douhou, “brethren; brothers”)
Since they come from the same creator (Azami)
It's so funny to think of this whole situation as Clearing and Awakening's Beef. Family feud /lh
Comedy Show Start-Up: The Snake Siblings are fighting!!! 💥💥💥
Saeru is like the eldest sibling no one likes /lh
It's so funny (angsty) when you bring the 9/6 multiships into this with Ene and KuroEne and KonoEne.
Mr. Steal Yo Girl and Mr. Steal Yo Life (Body) 🖤💛💙🐍🐇
Feila was like “The brother that wants everything that you have and ended up taking it all for himself…”
Ene look away from this mess /lh
Guy who stole your late love/lover's body.
This situation must be so surreal 😭
Don't take this seriously, this is more shitposty
Yen Press Rambles
I also noticed that EN localizers tend to lighten the scan colours a bit (dark gray vs. pure black) in their scans.
I wonder if it's intentional irt printing EN volumes (or if it's cheaper to print them that way?)
I far prefer Yen Press over the other major English manga localizers (Viz, Kodansha)
I LOVE Yen Press' prose and translation style.
Yen Press’ TLs are always more liberal compared to fan-TLs. Their translators typically have such a good understanding of context.
There are some minor errors with the Eye Ability names being translated inconsistently, but I’ll forgive it since it’s honestly inevitable in a 200 page volume.
Thank god that they were the ones who translated the Kagerou Daze manga.
Yen Press's official EN TLs have always been good for the most part (aside from the minor TL errors for the Eye Abilities and etc., but I can't really blame them since it's inevitable in a 200 page volume)
100000000% prefer them over Kodansha and especially Viz LMFAO
Yen Press as an EN manga localizer has really good prose.
Yen Press rules.
I trust that Viz has skilled translators, but Viz tends to make weird translation choices sometimes. Maybe this issue is on Viz's publishers or editors?
At the very least, Magi's official EN TL is decent. Thank god.
Though, I wish Yen Press translated Magi tbh.
It’s usually Viz that tends to get the rights to shounen series (and some shoujos)
I just vastly prefer Yen Press' approach to translation and their TL quality.
I really like Yen Press’ translations.
Though I’d say that the ONE thing that Viz and Kodansha TLs have going for them over Yen Press is that they release scans in super HD (or at least make it more easy for manga raw providers to rip them), so their scans are much more higher quality and more convenient to use as art refs.
Viz and Kodansha's official mangas tend to be sized at about the 1500 x 2500 px range.
It depends on the series.
Yen Press releases their E-books at a smaller resolution size.
Kagerou Daze's official English version scans by Yen Press are about 900 x 1350 px.
I know Yen Press translated the KagePro manga volumes and LNs.
And frankly, thank god.
YP has minor TL errors with inconsistently translating the names of the Eye Abilities at times, but that’s more minor tbh. I really like their translation style in general.
And how Yen Press tends to include info pages explaining honorifics and key terms.
Idrc for Yen Press’ lack of redrawn SFX tbh, so I'm completely fine with Kodansha and Yen Press just putting the translation for what the SFX means in EN text, either next to, or under the original JP SFX.
I did confirm that the Kagerou Daze Manga’s Official English Translation by Yen Press has scans that are 900 x 1350 px.
They are not as HD as the ones I ripped directly from the JP raws. The Kagerou Daze manga's JP scans are 1441 x 2048 px.
But it'll do for now.
Yen Press also tends to release official EN TLs really quickly for the series they work on. Yen Press is honestly a blessing
Yen Press is one of the only major EN localizers (at least that I know of) where their TLs are either the same quality as, or even better than fan translations, and much more accurate too.
Yen Press' TL and wording/prose are REALLY GOOD. I also love their translator notes.
It helped me figure out things since they added to the context of some lines.
Their translators are REALLY skilled and have such a good understanding of context.
Their translators make more liberal TLs, but are still in line with the OG text for the most part.
Their TL helped me understand the context much better than fan-TLs too, since they add to the context of some lines with their own interpretations
"I want to take a bite out of you, find out what you’re thinking."
Intro Rambles 💗
KuroEne with MR2 Saeru 🖤❤️💙🐍 🐇
Snake go mlem 🐍
Saeru can use Awakening Eyes to change his body into whatever he wants. That's genderfluid swag to me 🏳️⚧️🌈‼️
I headcanon that he can transform his body to have a long forked snake tongue like many demon charas do. 😈
I love the expressions so much... 😚 I love how the colours turned out too 🤭 I love using saturated colours 💓
This really captures what I had in mind for their Red/Blue visual contrast. I love when Saeru takes more blood red tones compared to Ene's cool blues. ❤️💙
I wanted to draw KuroEne in traditional clothing~ 👘
I'm planning for them to wear Việt Phục inspired outfits (or loosely inspired EA/SEA fashion)
We'll see. I'll play around and experiment 💝
I just wanna post my WIP progress shots and post my rough coloured sketch drafts atm 🙏
Design Inspiration 🎨
The hair and horn shapes are inspired by the lovely MR2 (Manga Route 2) Saeru redesign by Dirtsooop (@/dirtsooop) ❤️
I love this redesign version that takes more inspiration from Azami's design, the fluffier hair, and sharper, devil-like horn shapes... ❣️
I prefer to draw MR2 Saeru with fluffier hair and sharper shape language in general, since it fits my art style more, and also cuz villains are usually designed with sharp pointy shapes to indicate a sense of danger. 😈✨
I think it fits him so well since villain charas are usually designed with sharp, pointy shape language to indicate a sense of danger.
It inspired me to do an MR2 redesign where he has more Azami inspired traditional clothes 👘😌
You can read under the cut if you'd like to see my art process (WIPs) and rambles about my HC version of MR2 Saeru with traditional clothing inspirations. 👘
Art Process 🎨
Alt Versions 🎨
Tested different gradient maps :>
I added some new ones that adds some post processing effects. They're also nice, but I prefer my more subdued colours up top 👍
The coloured line Auto Action I use lowers the lines opacity, uses Gaussian Blur on the lines, adds Saturation, then sets Layer Mode to Colour Burn or Multiply.
Colour Burn has a super nice vibrant effect on the lines, but it doesn't work on near white colours, so gotta fix that ✍️
Multiply lowers the lines' opacity so it blends in more with the colours underneath, has more of a subdued look. Multiply has dark lineart but lowered opacity.
I wanna combine aspects from both eventually to have both the glowy lines on the outside, and softer look on the lines 💞
MR2 Saeru HCs 🐍👘
In my HC version of MR2 Saeru, he wears traditional clothing and takes more design inspirations from Azami's design. 💗
I love everything down to the face. I don't vibe with the outfit tho, so I'd just draw my redesign/HC version instead. ✍️
Cuz I fuck with everything on this design EXCEPT for the canon design's crop top and X-shaped strap (and entire clothes, tbh)
I love the black snake scales on his face, the cute little tufts of hair and black horns, the braid in the back that looks like a scorpion's tail, red sclera and red gradient limbs, and the white sash with bloodstains on it. 🥰
Just not everything else 😭
In my HCs, he wears a long, thin floating scarf loosely inspired by the Chinese hanfu shawl Pibo (披帛), as well as the Japanese floating scarf, Tenne (纏衣/天衣) or Hagoromo (羽衣) 🤍🧣
Tenne/Hagoromo are long, thin floating scarves normally depicted with Japanese deities, gods, and celestial beings (and also, sometimes demons and youkai in animanga and games).
I HC he wears them around his arms. We'll see if I add them or not here 👍
I'm planning to redraw the horn shapes and make them more detailed and slightly more twisted looking... ✍️
I'd make him take more inspo from his Design Poll outfit and Azami's clothes.
He's an ancient being, so I'd rather him wear traditional clothes instead.
I'd make him have a white floating scarf around his arms. I'll probably play around with the outfit design
In my redesign, I'd give him a Pibo (hanfu shawl) inspired scarf to wear around his arms.
I like the shape language of Áo tứ thân (lit. "four piece/part dress")
I feel like I'd draw him in this Áo tứ thân but in black and red instead.
So he'd mainly be wearing a black cross collared top with red accents ❌
I'd have him wear black pants, white sashes tied around the waist and over his arms, and have the black front panel be dyed with a red gradient at the bottom.
And his usual form can wear a Áo dài (lit. "long dress") in black and yellow colours.
Art Rambles ✍️
I drew the initial sketch in April 2025, then redrew the expressions to the current version in July 2025. Recently filled in the colours for it 👍
The only reason why I didn't have his red sclera with black pupils was cuz it'd lose readability, especially with my style of drawing eyes.
I don't draw very big eyes in my style, so I just made his eyes red.
I'll adjust the shadows and coloured lines effect later! And ofc I'll also clip the airbrush layers to the colours, and paint over stuff too.
These are WIPs for now, so I'll post updated versions whenever I get the time.
Tried to colour with a different lighting method recently! I also tested a bunch of different gradient maps 💗
I love the glowy lines effect with either Colour Burn or Multiply 🤗
I used Gray Multiply layer and Overlay layer with airbrushed saturated colours. This method is so OP for doing dramatic lighting 🤯💥
At first, I wasn't sure how it'd look, but it starts coming together when you start adding more saturated colours.
I prefer this over the initial version I did. The colours look SO pleasing 🥰
It's so easy and quick to do. Gonna colour like this from now on 👍
Also, I'm not sure how this looks on other screens. My monitor lightens the colours considerably compared to my laptop and phone, so I brightened the art a bit with Adjustment Layers (Level Correction and Tone Curve)
Art Plans
I'm waiting for when I get more free time to adjust some things :>
I'll refine and redraw some stuff (redraw Saeru's horns, Ene's hair and headphones, adjust the light) 🫰
And I'll combine the coloured lines effect to have both Colour Burn's saturated glowy effect on the outer lines and Multiply's softer effect on the lines 🙏
Ngl I was debating whether to make his sleeves that huge that big tbh cuz it hides Ene almost entirely but I love how the clothing folds look… 💗
Gotta say I do love the way his sleeves lovingly drape over Ene. 🤭💞
Perhaps she could be clutching onto his sleeves…
I'm pretty obsessed with "Chara's long hair or sleeves lovingly drapes over their lover like a wedding veil" in compositions. 💞
I've been saving this art for when I have time. I wanted to decide on the sketch first. I usually redraw hair, face, eyes, clothes, etc., multiple times and then decide on the best one 👍

【KagePro】 KuroEne Bridal Carry Commission by Pochi 🖤💙🐍🐇
Intro
Kuroha (Saeru) and Ene (Takane) Half Body Commission by Pochi (@/pochikocchi)
Pochi's VGen Showcase: (X)
I commissioned Pochi to draw KuroEne with Saeru bridal carrying Ene 🖤💙🐍🐇💐
I requested for them to be drawn in their Design Poll and Seek at Mekakucity outfits 💖
I also requested them to give Saeru a smug flirty smirk with fangs showing, and to make him buff with black painted nails, and for Ene to have a flustered blush with her hands near her face ☺️
Pochi also included a little chibi freebie doodle, which is very sweet of them 💗

OMG the usage of colour (saturated and muted tones) and textures are so good. The colours harmonize so well! ❣️
The glowy lighting, sky, clouds, sparkles and water splash textures in the BG fits them so well ✨
I was also pleasantly surprised the characters were recognized. ☺️
My beloveds look absolutely amazing in your style! 😭🥺🖤💙💞
I HC Saeru as NB genderfluid (masc-aligned pref) 🖤🐍
It's a very personal HC to me ❤️
Saeru is older than the world itself since he existed with Azami before she created the world, and can use Awakening Eyes to change his body into anything he wants.
KuroEne Clothing HCs 👘👗🛍️
I HC that Saeru likes to do roleplay and dress up games with Ene 🖤💙
I imagine Saeru likes to match clothes with Ene… They'll go out shopping and sometimes coordinate their wardrobes to match.
Ene's canon clothes (blue jersey with white stripes) are based on Mizuiro (水色, "water coloured; aqua") and Cyber Kei fashion aesthetics 💙🩵🤍
Her main outfit is mainly based on Mizuiro fashion with elements of Cyber Kei.
Mizuiro fashion has a focus on light blue and white colours. So she picks clothes similar to it.
I think she also likes techwear 💗
Saeru picks clothing with BW/monochrome colours (black, gray, white, often paired with an accent colour like yellow or red) 🖤🩶🤍❤️💛
I HC that Saeru mainly likes traditional clothing since he's an ancient being. 👘
(Some examples of Việt Phục)
Việt Phục (Vietnamese traditional clothing)
Áo dài ("long dress"), áo giao lĩnh ("cross collared dress"), áo giao lĩnh with đối khâm (outer jacket), áo tứ thân ("four part dress")
Monochrome Fashion, Street Fashion, Gothic Fashion
I imagine that he likes wearing long black coats too, especially in winter.
Ofc he still wears his usual headphones, neckwarmer and boots.
(Picked out this one for him for a KuroEne winter comm idea :3)
2nd one is Monochrome fashion and Harajuku street fashion.
In my HCs, he also likes street fashion such as techwear, monochrome fashion, goth/gothic, lolita, gothic lolita, goth punk, visual kei, etc. 🖤🤍
Monochrome fashion (Dark Harajuku street fashion)
Dark gothic look.
Harajuku street fashion, gothic fashion
When he wears more femme clothes to match with Ene, I HC he wears
I love the black/red
He can pick clothes from her wardrobe but in bigger sizes & different colours, since he can change his appearance/clothes with Awakening Eyes in MR2
Gothic Lolita and Mizuiro fashion 🖤❤️💙🤍
KuroEne with Gothic Lolita and Mizuiro fashion 🖤❤️💙🤍
Saeru mainly wears black (with other colours like white and red as accent colours)
Like man I'd love to imagine Saeru wearing something like the 3rd one, while Ene wears cute pastel clothes like the 4th one.
Black and red vs. Blue and White 🥺🙏
Imo Saeru would also be into Japanese Traditional Fashion since he's an ancient being.
Some more Mizuiro and Tenshi Kaiwai and Gothic Lolita fashion pics.
Gothic lolita Kuroha/Saeru… 👁️
Mizuiro fashion aesthetic is so Ene core… 💙🩵🤍
Ene in the 2nd one would be so 🫣 MY WIFE ‼️❣️
They have perfect opposite matching colours… 💗🫶
Man, their colours match perfectly with each other. They're so perfectly made for each other 🥺🙏
Black and Red vs. Blue and White… 🖤🤍❤️💙
They contrast each other! 💗
...
Seems like Ene's J-fashion styles are Mizuiro, Tenshi Kaiwai and Cyber Kei 💙🩵🤍
Mizuiro fashion/aesthetic and Tenshi Kaiwai are good terms.
Iirc Mizuiro aesthetic is used to describe the colour scheme/aesthetic in both fashion and decor (clothing and room decor)
Since Tenshi Kaiwai has blue/white colours, jersey and cyber/angel-core accessories.
Cyber angel-core would be SO perfect for her!! 😇🪽
God I just realized… I could buy and match clothes with my wife… 🫣‼️
Finally I can get clothes that match her in the future. I'm really glad I found this out. 🙏
Reminds me that Girly Kei is one of the J-fashion styles I had for my KHR OC Selena 💗
...
Ene already canonically wears Mizuiro fashion, but it'd be fun to imagine her wearing others too!
I could imagine her wearing techwear and other kinds of JP street fashion as well.
Other than Mizuiro, then she'd probably wear Cyber Kei.
This is Cyber fashion
At first I was a bit confused on the difference between them at first, but it seems like Mizuiro Kei and Tenshi Kaiwai are often used interchangeably as terms.
The international community seems to use the term "Tenshi Kaiwai" interchangeably with "Mizuiro Kawaii, Mizuiro Kei, Cyber Angel Core"
JP community uses 水色界隈 (Mizuiro community) and 水色雰囲気 (Mizuiro aesthetic) as terms.
Apparently Nuta is credited for naming the style.
Posts: (1) (2)
These posts help explain that Mizuiro Kei and Tenshi Kaiwai are often used interchangeably as terms. Ty OP
I vibe with both Jirai Kei and Tenshi Kaiwai as fashion aesthetics 💗
2 - 3: Monster Heels by Theo Gravelines
PSG AU KuroEne and Kuroha/Saeru has black thigh highs and spiked high heels (the blades extend/come out of his shoes) 🤭💞
I imagined his shoes have retractable blades.
And possibly a cage dress aesthetic 🫶
This can be for just in general too, not just crossover AUs 👍
Gonna post this here
Misc Rambles
OH I'm just gonna put these rambles here before I forget.
Hi!! I missed making ramble posts for my fave ships like this... I've been pretty busy, so I'm gonna archive my old ramble posts of them here eventually. 💗
I hit the 30 image limit, so I could only post some pics. Combined some images into one.
I think I've made posts talking about my HCs of KuroEne wearing traditional clothing in the past, but I have more ideas, which I'll post eventually.
PSG AU: Kuroha (Saeru) and Ene 🖤💙🐍🐇
Demon x Angel 😈😇🪽
Intro
Demon Saeru and Angel Ene 🖤 💙
PSG style Kuroha (Saeru) and Ene 🖤❤️💙
Inspired by Panty and Stocking (PSG) 💗
This is more like a style fusion (my style with some inspirations from PSG)
I love PSG's art style and OST SOOO much! 💗 I strive to have as strong shape language as PSG one day 🙏🥰💞💘
So I've been trying to practice the style recently 👍
PSG style would have more simplified angular shapes, bigger lower limbs and hands and legs, etc.
I've been listening to the PSG and NewPSG OST so often, especially Divine, I Want You, and Reach Up 🎵
I strive to have semi-SD/chibi stylization as strong as PSG one day 🙏

These are my personal faves from the batch 💗
The eyes in the first two are how I'd usually draw, and the rest are more PSG inspired 💖
I especially love the demon wings Saeru one 🖤❤️
I think these are the best ones, since I spent more time on them :3
I also think these have the strongest shapes of the ones I did.
I'll be cleaning up these doodles eventually. I just wanted to get the rough sketches down for now! 🌟✨
PSG AU: KuroEne 🖤💙😈😇
I wanna draw PSG AU Demon/Angel KuroEne eventually 🖤💙
Ene is my angel, and her evil snake demon bf can come along for the ride 😈😇
I really wanna draw PSG AU KuroEne based on PSG's transformation scenes 💗💖
Obsessed with the idea of a sensual PSG style KuroEne transformation with Saeru and Ene taking off their clothes, and them brandishing guns 🔫
I want Demon x Angel to compete with each other!!! 💗
When I get the time to draw it, it'll be in my usual style, cuz I'm way more used to drawing in it :3
It'd be so hot. I want it so bad!! 🙏🛐
Though it'd take more effort from me to draw. Hopefully I can try sketching it sometime this month or next? Since I wanna work on my current WIPs first 🙏
The rest is under the cut as usual 💖
My ideas are specifically based on these frames of the Angel Sisters and Daemon Sisters 💗

Just gonna repost some old doodles cuz I'll be finishing up finals soon👍
I originally doodled these in October, and recently sketched a few new ones.
I just wanna update here with my KuroEne doodle log 🖤💙
I wanted to refine how I draw in this semi-SD/chibi style first, so I tested with Saeru 👍
When I get the time, I wanna draw a matching Ene to match with each one of my Saeru doodles 💙
I was experimenting with many different eye styles and hair shapes.
Whenever I get the time to clean up my sketches, I'll post the revised versions 👍
Plans to Redraw
I sketched SO many, probably 20 - 30+ in total 😭
Not including all of my sketch attempts here. Will probably put them in another post (including the ones I left unfinished and scrapped)
I don't draw as angular as PSG style, so I was testing different ways to draw his hair
I'll redraw Ene's expression and pose since I want them to match 🥰💞
I'd like to redraw some hair, clothing and headphone details eventually 👍
I'll adjust the proportions and redraw the limbs longer for Saeru when I get the chance...
KuroEne's height difference is 25 cm (182 cm vs. 157 cm) 🤯💥
So the bottom of his chin would be near where the top of her head is.
Though I'm gonna redraw Ene's expression and pose to make her art match with Saeru's art. I might redraw her legs as scattered pixels rather than actual shoes... 🤔💭
I need to simplify more and go more angular with my shapes. I want bigger (wider) shapes for Ene's sleeves
I'm tempted to draw with silhouette (ink with black and erase as needed) so then I can more easily get the shapes I want 🙏
I realized I didn't have enough tongue kisses of them so I wanted to rectify that 👍
Happy Valentine's Day!! 💗💝
(Technically doodled this in time for Valentine's)
I love how Saeru's intense gaze is drawn here… The mild possessiveness 😚❣️
I def prefer the new one.
I really like the narrow slit eyed expression of the new one…
I wanted to draw more of them in my updated (post November) art style 🙏
I adjusted Ene's expression to make it look more like my other doodle cuz I wanted Ene's expression to come off as "a bit surprised, but flustered and blushy" kind
I'll adjust it more later!
(Disabling reblogs cuz I'm planning to redraw and refine stuff soon and I want the version of my art I'm satisfied with to be on main :3)

Maid Saeru and Ene 🎀💝
Quick doodle from August.
I love imagining KuroEne doing maid roleplay and dress up games! 🖤💙
I like to imagine maid Saeru acting as Ene's servant, and vice versa with maid Ene acting cutesy 💞
I think he has a lot of fun playing up to the "humble and obedient servant" act while they play roleplay games together.
Saeru calls her "Master" (ご主人様, Goshujin-sama) on purpose just to tease her, since Ene calls Shintaro "Master" (ご主人, Goshujin)
So it's an intentional play on Ene's Master shtick with Shintaro.
Saeru: Master~ 😚❤️🫶
Saeru: (Blows a kiss)
Saeru: ✧ (｡ゝᴗ•) ᯓᡣ𐭩～
Ene: You're just copying me!!
Ene: ٩(๑`^´๑)۶ =3
I am busy right now with final assignments and exam prep, but I'll redraw some parts eventually.
I'm probably gonna redraw Ene so she's front facing and he's kissing her cheek instead 😚
I did draw him with headphones at first, but they overlapped with the frilly maid headdress band. I'd have to take that off if I wanted his headphones 🤔
Quick doodle I drew back in August 2025.
I wanna draw more KuroEne with maid Saeru (and vice versa) eventually 🖤💙
While playing up to the maid role, I imagine Saeru copies Ene's "Master" shtick with Shintaro just to tease her and see her flustered reactions. 🤭
When he plays up to the role in their maid roleplay games together, acting all humble and obedient on purpose, Saeru calls himself, "Your loyal/devoted/faithful servant" (貴方の忠実なる下僕, Anata no chuujitsu naru geboku) to Ene.
But in terms of English wording, you usually hear, "Your loyal servant; your most faithful servant..." which I chose since it sounds more natural to me.
When it comes to Saeru and his S/O... I think "Devotion" sums up what his character is driven by, the best.
Someone like him, with his monstrous inhuman nature, distance from humanity, and twisted love (obsession), the only things he has left in the end are his devotion and obsession.

Just realized I haven't posted here since July.
I'll try to post more often. I've been doing well ^^ I'm just super busy with school, so I've been forgetting to update here.
Short post for now! I'll eventually start queueing my old art posts and recent ones when I get the time. I have a super big backlog with art and ramble posts here
