Jayce and Viktor from Arcane season 2. Viktor is holding his cane near Jayce's face, as if he wants to inspect him closely. Jayce is holding Viktor's cane too, as if to stop him, but he has a tender and pained expression on his face, as they are both looking into each other's eyes.

Powder and Ekko from Arcane season 2. They are dancing together, looking lovingly into each other's eyes.

Ekko and Jinx from Arcane season 1. Jinx is pointing her gun under Ekko's chin, he has his arm raised and his clock on his hand. They are looking at each other. Jinx is smiling wickedly, Ekko's eyebrows are furrowed in a conflicted expression.

Kojiro and Kaoru from the anime sk8 the infinity, in their teenage years. They are both crouched, dressed in all black. Kojiro is shirtless, with black pants and black skater shoes, with green accents and his iconic sun tattoo printed on his shoe. Kaoru has a high neck shirt, a t-shirt on top, pants and a pink harness and pink lace shoes, with C on his arm and on his shoes (C as in Carla, his a/rtificial i/ntelligence assistant). He has his hair on a high bun but his emo fringe is covering his right eye. He has his piercings on. They have spray cans on their hands and are spraying in front of them, as if there is a glass panel in front or as if the spray remains visible on the air. Kojiro is spraying the tiger kanji (that is also part of his name). Kaoru is spraying the cherry blossom kanji (that is part of his surname). They look badass. Background is pink on Kojiro's side and green on Kaoru's side.

Kaoru and Kojiro from the anime sk8 the infinity in their high school years. The illustration is in black and white save for Kojiro's green hair, Kaoru's pink hair and Kaoru's scratched knee which is a shade of pink/red.
Kojiro is sitting cross legged on the floor, black tank, black trousers ripped at the knees and skater shoes. He's kissing Kaoru's knee over the band aid he just applied.
We can only see Kaoru's legs, torso and his hairs. He has one hand on top of Kojiro's head. His has black nail polish and he is dressed in black t-shirt, shorts and white socks with 2 black lines, knee high, in a very nu-metal sk8 vibe and he has vans skater shoes.

still one of my fave comics to this day XD inspired by a chat with @paintedrecs.bsky.social back in the old bird app and this post 🌸💀

A screenshot of the following text:

People also ask
Are cherry blossoms associated with death? ~

Despite their beauty, cherry blossoms also represent death. This symbol was very common during the Japanese Feudal period (1185 — 1868). And no one in history exemplifies this motif more than the samurai, the warriors who abide by a strict moral code of respect, honor, and discipline. (14 Apr 2018)

One page comic featuring Kaoru and Kojiro (from Sk8 the Infinity anime) in their teenager's years.
Panel one: Kaoru and Kojiro are giving us their backs, walking out of the school. Voices from some off-page jerks saying "LMAO pink hair like cherry blossoms and your name got sakura kanji on it!" ha ha "that's so lame! Such a delicate flower you are Cherry!" ha ha
Kojiro's thoughts: Oh no u didn't...
Kaoru: tzk
Second panel: close up on Kaoru's face as he pass a hand through his hair and sparkles appear around him. Baloon: "Well, you know why cherry blossoms thrive, right?"
Last panel, partially overlapping the second one: Almost full picture of Kaoru as he raises his leg ready to kick the random idiots and shouts with a possessed face: "BECAUSE THERE ARE BODIES BURIED BENEATH THE CHERRY TREES!" and adds "let's bury you too guys..."
Behind him smug Kojiro is thinking "tzk, they didn't see it coming...you better run you cowards!"
Random idiots voices: OMG he's crazy! Let's run!

Kojiro and Kaoru from the anime Sk8 the Infinity. Two illustrations, same pose. The one on top shows Kojiro and Kaoru in their teenagers years, posing in front of a skate park in Naha, Okinawa. Kojiro is wearing a white t-shirt, holding his skate on his back and doing the horns symbol with his hands. He has painted black nails, and a pair of fingerless gloves. Kaoru is close to him, wearing a black shirt, holding his skate with his right hand and taking the selfie with his left hand. Both of them are smiling and their faces are scratched from all the times they fell trying skate tricks.
The illustration below has the same pose, but the selfie is taken 8 years after. Now they are at S as Joe and Cherry Blossom, with no scratches as they have mastered their skating techniques.

#sk_8 #エスケーエイト

One page Valentine's day comic with Kaoru and Kojiro from the anime Sk8 the Infinity. Setting is their high school years. First panel is a view of the abandoned drive in where Kaoru and Kojiro used to try their skate tricks. Second panel is them sitting close to a graffiti wall, taking a break from skating and enjoying some canned drinks. Kojiro is dressed with baggy jeans, and a dark oversize sweater with yellow and white accents. Kaoru has a white shirt, a black choker and tartan skinny pants. Kojiro is blushing and handing a red package to Kaoru, not looking at him, and stuttering "A-anyway this is for you" Kaoru replies "uh?"
Third panel is a close up of Kaoru's hand as he opens the package. He has black nail polish and he's wearing the Vivienne Westwood armoured ring (a reference to Nana by Ai Yazawa and also at Kaoru's punk attitude in his high school years). Inside the package there is a home made chocolate shaped as a heart formed by a broken skateboard and on it, written in white chocolate "my heart flips for you" surrounded by hearts and infinity symbols. Kaoru stutter "Y-YOU MADE THIS?!" and thinks "i-it's so cheesy and embarassingly sap...what the..." and "OH MY GOD..."
and then continues "Like, hand made chocolate and stuff?"
Kojiro replies in the fourth panel "DUH? You know I want to learn how to cook properly..." while he still blushes and scratches his undercut visibly embarrassed.
Kaoru continues "...is this a joke Kojiro?"
"OF COURSE NOT! Why would I joke on something so imp..."
Last panel Kaoru shut Kojiro up with a kiss thinking "oh, shut up!"

I'm fond of the hc that Kaoru drew Kojiro's tattoo, but I also like the idea that he got it as a "goodbye Italy" present to himself ☀️🇮🇹also, it's just the perfect excuse to show off and tease Kaoru, don't you think? 😎 (September 2021)
#matchablossom #SK8THEINFINITY #sk_8 #エスケーエイト

One page comic: Kaoru and Kojiro from sk8 the infinity.
First panel is a close up on a "Carla box" sat on the windowsill. A robotic voice comes out of it: "Good morning Master. Kojiro is coming home in four days."
Second panel we see Kaoru who just woke up. He's still in bed and putting his glasses on as he checks his phone. Carla continues "Also you have 4 new messages from Kojiro"
Kaoru: "Thank you Carla..."
Texts from Kojiro read:
Since I'm coming home soon I got myself a little "goodbye Italy" present. Now that it's healed I can show you! What do you think?"
Close up of Kaoru's phone where a selfie of shirtless Kojiro showing off his pecs, muscles and also his new sun shoulder tattoo. He's also wearing his skate necklace (that I hc was a gift from Kaoru).
Close up of Kaoru's blushy and surprised face, glasses askew as he's thinking "FUCK..."
Last panel Carla intervenes "Master your hart rate has gone up, shall I..."
Kaoru: "N-not now Carla..." as we can see a flustered Kaoru, blushing all way down his pecs since he's wearing a white yukata that is now a bit open and he's thinking "K-Kojiro you @#%! This is so fucking unfair!!"

First panel is Piazza dei Signori in Treviso (Italy) close up on a restaurant in the piazza. Second panel is young Kojiro in a white t-shirt texting Kaoru as he is walking with two Italian friends. Texts read:
Kojiro: Just finished my lunch shift at the restaurant...how are you? How is your latest piercing doing?
Kaoru: Healed. Wanna see?
Kojiro: Sure!
Close up on Kojiro's phone and the picture that Kaoru sent him, showing Kaoru dressed in all black, sitting in front of his bed, showing off his navel where he has new piercing. He's holding his sweatshirt up with his mouth.
Close up of Kojiro's blushy surprised face as he is thinking "Oh cazzo..." which translates "Oh fuck..."
Last panel: Kojiro's friends are asking him in Italian if he's ok and asking him to join them for a spritz aperitivo. Kojiro replies "s-si si..." as he's holding his phone in front of his blushy face and a little ghost escapes him. He's thinking "Damn Kaoru, have some mercy on a guy abroad, will you?"

Kaoru and Kojiro from the anime sk8 the infinity. In this illustration they're in elementary school. Both swinging on the seesaw, Kojiro is looking at Kaoru with his tongue sticking out as he's slightly higher on the seesaw than Kaoru. He's wearing a bright green t-shirt with a sun on it and yellow shorts. He has band aids on his right knee and he's wearing orange flip flops. He has a bracelet on his left ankle.
Kaoru is closer to the camera but his face is turned towards Kojiro so we cannot see his expression. He is wearing a dark blue shirt with constellations on it, dark blue shorts and dark blue flip flops. He has band aids on his right knee and a bracelet on his right ankle.
They both have other band aids on their elbows. On the background, hedges and a grey building that is their elementary school. The sky is bright blue with fluffy clouds. The image looks like an old photograph with burn/light stains.

They are both giving their back to the viewer as they are looking out of the window of a traditional Japanese house overlooking the sea. Baby Kaoru has short hair, a striped white and purple shirta and purple trousers with a sakura flower in one of the pant's back pockets. Kojiro has curly hair, a yellow t-shirt with a tiny tiger face on the upper back and a pair of dark trousers. Kaoru is blowing soap bubbles and we can see he's wearing glasses, while Kojiro has an hand up as if it's trying to catch the bubbles. The image is intentionally looking as an old picture with a bit of burned film on the right hand side.

He has his hair in a high but loose ponytail, he has bar piercings on his nipples and his navel, and he is wearing his Carla bracelet. His swim boxers are black.

Second panel is a close up of Kojiro in his chef attire, sparkling and smiling as he says in Italian "Piacere! Sono Nanjo Kojiro, il nuovo aiuto cuoco!" which translates "Hello! I'm Nanjo Kojiro, the new assistant chef!"
In the third panel we can se the main chef vigorously patting Kojiro on his shoulder as he thinks "NanJO, KoJirO..." and then exclaims in Italian "JOE! Benvenuto!" (Joe, welcome!) as Kojiro thinks "Joe?" the chef goes on in Italian "Ragazzi! JOE è il nuovo aiuto cuoco!" (Guys! JOE is the new assistant chef!" with baloons from the other staff members greetings "Ciao Joe!"
Last panel is set in Okinawa, as we see Kaoru laying on the tatami floor, looking into macbook laptop, video callking Kojiro who is explaining "...and so yeah, I'm Joe now!" "I quite like it, sounds cool..."
Kaoru replies "I see...Joe." while thinking "sounds cool indeed, but there's no way I'll tell him. He instead replies "...sounds dumb to me!" and Kojiro shouts from the laptop "HEY! YOU ARE THE DUMB ONE, FOUR EYES!"
