Writer's block happened while trying to write last night, so I decided to draw. But even my art wasn't working for me. I originally started out wanting to do some Magnolia fanart from Bravely Second. I was having so much trouble with her design for some reason though, so I decided to draw one of the characters from my own story, Shangri-La. Even that wasn't working out for me though.
I almost gave up altogether, but then I saw a picture of a seifuku (the sailor-looking Japanese school uniform) in my Facebook feed and thought how I'd always wanted to draw Rain wearing one. This was where something finally worked out for me.
It's funny. Very early in my comic posting days, I got some criticism for being a "weeaboo" because I had the characters go to a school with uniforms (of all things). Now, I can't deny that I'm more than a little bit weeby, but that thought never crossed my mind. After all, school uniforms exist in real life; not JUST in Japan or in anime. XD
But this popped into my head again when I decided to draw Rain like this, so I went the extra mile to add some anime tropes like having her run to school through the cherry blossoms with a piece of toast hanging out of her mouth. I'm sure I could've taken it further, but my mind started drawing blanks. I did however add little touches for her character with a Kaminari ornament hanging from her bag, the Puddle hairpin, and of course, the trans pride-colored seifuku.
Not much else to say. This is an unusual thing for me to draw, but I kinda dig it. I hope you do too. ^_^
I loved your comic months before I realized I was a girl. I've known less than a week, but it feels RIGHT in a way that scares me. Thank you for making this beautiful comic.
I don't have much of a point to make here, but thank you.
Unless you live under a rock, you're probably aware that Donald Trump is running for President, and that it's looking scarily likely that he'll win. This would be a disaster not just for America and Mexico, but for the whole world, because the man spews hatred and ignorance with every word he speaks, and putting him in charge of a whole country would send a signal to everyone who thinks like him that talking like he does is okay. I know this is a webcomic, not a political debate, but it's a very open and progressive webcomic, and I'm hoping for a little support from you Rain Beaus.

While I wholeheartedly agree that Trump is a massive prick, do you really think a letter will do anything? He knows he's hated by liberals, his fanbase knows. He thrives on attention. He'd probably print the letter out and rip it up in front of a roaring crowd.
This is awesome.
I was late to work this morning, but I didn't look like that :)

So, is Rain classified as yuri, now? :p

Animu Rain best Rain, :3
