I really enjoyed reading this! I know it's kind of a small moment in the whole thing, but I really like the bit where Kairi reacts to the statement that she wasn't considered the third wheel? Like she hasn't been like a distant afterthought basically all the time, relegated to us being told of her significance instead of like, shown how important she is to her friends? Like how the games handle Sora and Riku's dynamic? I dunno, just it's always sat wrong with me how strained her position in the story is since I played the series years ago.
So thanks for putting that whole vibe in a touching set of comics ^^
made me tear up!! thank you so much for sharing this!!!! my favorite comic was the one with kairi and namine. ;_; i love how your kairi frames her hurt very casually and with a teeny bit of passive aggression, like in the comic with riku too--it's so authentic and heart-wrenching and i wish we saw it in-game (i wish we saw any and all of this in-game lol). and i love the b&w pencil style! so so so good. <3
ive been reading some big epic fantasy series recently (wheel of time 🙄), and this is just it, like no women in them have any agency at all!!! even if they are kickass everything they do is for the main character in some way and I'm sick of it 😤 anyway that's why I REALLY like the little "grab agency by the throat" comic, that's my favourite one. but i love the way your drawings use black/white contrast so well for emphasis, and the way you characterise everyone.
