In honor of the release of Episode Nagi in theaters in Japan, I finished a wip from a month ago

EATING UP THIS FILM'S USE OF COLORING AND LIGHTING OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMMMMMMM
i need more kunigiri to function in life
the struggle of finding a fic of them WITHOUT the "minor relationship" tag is real :')
I thought i didn't care about nagi as much as the majority here but if him leaving means chigiri is upset (and from the leaks I see that he is), ego, we need to have a talk and don't mind the brick shaped object in my hand
The panel below is probably one of my favorite panels of Chigiri.
It encapsulated how intense and driven his character could be. Even Nagi was drawn and fired up with those expressive eyes alone.
I'd like to see more of Chigiri looking like this in the main manga but we will never going to get it except in Episode Nagi because the main focus now is having Nagi's character further develop in NEL arc.
I always salute the author and illustrator for always giving an in-depth characterization and illustration to his character. I've always said this before but Chigiri's eyes is one of his biggest assets and is one of the most beautifully drawn in the franchise.
He doesn't speak a lot of words but his eyes can be really telling of how he feels at the moment.
He has gone a long way from being a taciturn and crestfallen character to being one of the most determined and confident characters in the franchise.
I just love that in his own way, he was able to influence characters in a positive way like Nagi for example who thinks he's cool after learning of his injury but is still striving to be the best there is. Also, for motivating Reo in the second selection in a backhanded way to keep going and have his own revenge to climb his way up to the program.
A lot of people in the fandom might find him boring or ordinary or even accuse of people liking him because of his looks. If that were the case, I'd have pander to every character in the franchise who is visually attractive in there a long time ago.
If you find him not interesting enough then that means his personality is not for you or you haven't got enough time to truly understand his character. He's one of the most complex yet realistic characters in the franchise who is not solely defined by his injury nor by the loss of Kunigami himself in the second selection.
He's kind but he's also sassy, assertive, competitive and cocky sometimes. And it makes him well-rounded because he doesn't fit the stereotype of a nice, ikemen character.
*sighs*
I'll just count the days till we got to see a new chapter of Episode Nagi but until then I'll remember on why he is my best boy starting from day 1.
Likes anime, mangas and other niche Internet content (currently in my blue lock brain rot phase)
