Before I reread for the first time in a decade and probably ruin my version of these characters, here’s how I have chosen to see them:
• Sakura’s like, ripped. To me she has punching no jutsu and is ready to throw straight hands at all times. She also outgrows her crush on Sasuke and learns to love him and Naruto as her brothers, who wear her out with all their pining. One of the more balanced characters by the end who puts in a lot of hard work and has a lot of stamina chakra-wise, even if she doesn’t use it for strong attacks most of the time, choosing to use her chakra for healing and her hands for fighting.
• Sai’s funny as hell. Idc what anyone says I love him, and iirc he kind of hates Sasuke. I see him as a bit of a bitch
• Kiba! A character who my brother says only takes Ls but that’s okay, he’s good at tracking and has rugged lower status-charm. I also like his dog traits and have probably played them up in my mind. I also can’t remember if this is canon but I think he’s really in love with Hinata and have been for ages, but is a champ about it who doesn’t take it out on her and wishes her the best. Selfless and loyal in that regard. Doesn’t marry because Hinata might be the love of his life and she’s canonically not for him (even if I think her marriage to Naruto is a bit… Idk. That man’s in love with Sasuke). I’m probably playing it up a bit here for the sake of my high school ship but whatever
• Hinata has a lot of sexual fantasies and I also feel like she reads yaoi. And yuri probably
• Temari keeps Shikamaru in line and he’s careful not to upset her because it’s a hassle to deal with. She probably also rides him because it’s less work for him and she likes to keep him in his place
• Sasuke is a lot less annoying in my mind. He’s also right about a lot of things (or I can see where he’s coming from at least)
• Tsunade wins most of her fights and is a BAMF.
• Naruto has a better haircut by the end.
There are definitely more characters that I have specific feelings about but for now all I’ve got are these ones. Let me know if you have opposing ideas even if you probably won’t change my mind
Hi, I’m trying to get into writing comics so I’m looking for a one-shot that I can ”copy” the plot of for practice (obv won’t get published anywhere), does anyone have recommendations?
I have a couple limitations and I’m sorry in advance for being so picky, but that’s also why I need help:
- The premise can’t be ”too” Japanese aka something that wouldn’t work in a western setting, such as delinquents or love letter confessions
- Similarly, a plot that hinges on homophobia; it still exists where I live but not in a way that would seriously impact the plot, so it would feel a bit odd if a character was being shunned at his job for being gay (we take workplace discrimination very seriously)
- Preferably not fantasy
- The plot can’t be dependent on sex since I won’t draw it (for now)
- Preferably not a couple that’s already dating, since I want to improve at writing people getting together or who are falling in love
- No incest or non-con or anything like that. And no prostitution!!
I’m willing to sacrifice one or two of these if it’s hard to find something that fits. :’)
The artstyle doesn’t matter since I’ll be drawing in my own style regardless. I only care about plot right now

It's a tragedy so you'll gets lots of practice drawing complex facial expressions >:)
Also just a good story.
I don't think it's too Japanese but sorry if I remembered wrong lol
Good luck and happy art-ing!

it's a coming of age comic, therefore no smut. it's set in usa, and is by an american author so that solves the cultural issue.
it addresses homophobia and homosexuality but in a way that doesn't feel too head on. it's not fantasy either since it's a modern setting without too many fictional elements.
the art style is also easy and not very complex or advanced, so it'll work really well for practicing. good luck!
Oh thank you so much!! I’m actually not from the US so I’ll have to mod it (never been to a ranch never met a military man) but that’s also good practice :-)
Western ”one-shots” are crazy though, that thing is over 200 pages!!!
But it’s a really sweet comic and I’m gonna enjoy reading it + looking at the story structure. Thanks for the rec!! <3333333
Oh my godddd that was beautiful…. Thank you so much, I’m really upset now. It was so good!!!!!! And good practice, ty <33333
Of course! Glad you liked it too :)
Yeah its super long for a oneshot but as you said its well-written! Glad that helped u (=・ω・=)
I’m looking for a BL manga where the MC notices one of his upperclassmen has a crush on another guy, and he tries to help him with his crush, but then eventually falls in love with the guy instead… It was a webtoon and he artstyle was kinda simple. I’ve forgotten what it’s called but I’d love to reread TT
Is it called ‘for your love’
love you mwah thanks a million!!
does the upperclassman is gay? or one of them?
sorry but i really don’t like the side couple. their meeting is not romantic at all and while the glasses guy is really handsome i can’t stand his personality, he should at least have the dignity to bottom but i guess not…
they take up so much space and i miss the story we started out with
I was about to comment the same thing. I'm basically skimming through the side couple's story line haha
Damn so im not alone! Sega dont deserve that man plus the first impression succcks
oh thank god im not the only one oml i thought i was going crazy im all for age gap as well (though im actually not sure of their age differences) theyre also obviously at different stages in life since Mei is a working adult while Sega is still a ukiversity student. Also that one scene where Sega was obviously under the influence while Mei was supposedly 'helping out'... Sega deserves a YEARNER who wants him JUST AS MUCH
