I made a new suitor for my horror-comedy dating manga concept I Escaped My Genre!

At this community cooking college, majoring in dinner theatre of course means that you must master the art of theatre AS WELL AS the art of cabaret-appropriate foods that align with the themes of whatever show you are doing!

But the college also has a vibrant student theatre scene: Phoenix is actually directing the Drama Club's production of Romeo & Juliet this spring as their end-of-year final! I wonder if Samo will try out! (And I wonder if Phoenix will end up looking romantically into Samo's eyes and finding that in that moment, all zyr carefully-curated bravado drops away, and suddenly, ze is no longer acting; ze is simply feeling, and it changes everything.)

Also, since I put so much work into this character design, Phoenix will absolutely be making an appearance in my graphic novel! (You can find my published scripts and concept art here, if you wanna make my day!)

#when i say cabaret-appropriate foods i mean foods that can easily and cleanly be eaten while ur eyes and body are turned towards the stage #[flashback to eating the world's messiest sandwich at my 1st cabaret show & THOROUGHLY embarrassing myself. the actors saw. it was awful.]#i escaped my genre #my art #phoenix k. phillips #hikari and simon and phoenix all have better and more carefully considered character design bc i drew the cover as a quick joke and i #drew those 3 after becoming invested so they turned out more detailed and interesting looking. if i did make this a real series i would #revamp some of the designs. i know that a lot of animes have similar-looking characters so that'd match the genre but #i care more about my characters having diverse faces and body types than i care about matching the exact style #but it is fine for now. it isn't like they are BAD character designs it's just that i could do better #junji ito #ito junji #horror #horror comedy #alt-text #image description #image descriptions #I've never known of a dinner theatre w thematically appropriate foods but it would be so fun!#i don't think samo is cast as a lead but maybe they're a small part and or an understudy. either way the audition affects phoenix very much #samo is very rarely shown speaking so. but sometimes you need to stand in for an actor who isn't at rehearsal #*very rarely shown speaking so i don't think juliet quite works but idk yet #anyway phoenix is gonna be a delight in The Blacksmith #original characters
