hello again! you don't need to take my request since you already did one for me, but i wanted to ask you to redraw a chiikawa manga panel in your style.
this is the context of the manga panel. i actually just thought about this
chapter tonight, when i was thinking of my favorite plot point in chiikawa. chiikawa gave hachiware a cat shaped cookie that had a blue ribbon a few days ago. he cherished the blue ribbon a lot and had even gotten complimented for it when people visited his house and saw it tied around a vase. but then he lost it, and he felt awful because he thought he'd never be able to have that gift from his friend again. seeing such a sad expression on hachiware tore at me when i first read it, because it shows just how much he cherishes chiikawa and every memory he makes with them. that's what the blue ribbon represented to him.

i wanted to share the manga panel since it means a lot to me, even if you don't feel like drawing it.
here's how they adapted the scene into the anime. hachiware's feeling a little better after getting comforted. food seems to be deeply tied to chiikawa's plot, since eating together is how they bond and it comforts them when they're sad. there are some scenes were hachiware doesn't eat at all because he feels too upset about something. i used to have a lot of trouble eating lunch in high school because i felt too anxious, so those scenes always make me more sad than usual. i would often throw my food in the garbage or stare at it until the lunch period ended. i'm glad that hachiware doesn't starve himself in this scene.
