RAINCODE 4KOMA COMIC PROJECT

This is another project that I'm currently working on with @kazinsblog! We adore makoyuma and they're our number one faves.

So we decided to make a little 4koma style side special of Kazin's mini series "The Kanai Ward Case Files"

This intro is the only normal comic in this story.

Prologue: Flu season hits worldwide, and Makoto calls Yuma one day and gives him the warning. Yuma notices his congested voice so he wants to head to to Kanai Ward to check on him. But meanwhile, Yuma is trying his best to hold his cough as he talks on the line. Only to suffer the fit after Makoto hangs up. He isn't well either.

When Yuma arrives in Kanai Tower finding Makoto completely disheveled and passed out at his work desk, he ushers the stuffy CEO to bed. The two were shown pushing themselves while being sick alone. But now that they're together, these stubborn workaholics will finally rest and break from their duties in order to take care of each other.

further information below

Of course since I'm involved in this project, they're obviously not going to be doing well... XD But this story is going to be a lot more fun and lighthearted than others I have written. (It's essentially written in a silly sick filler episode of a cartoon kind of vibe) meaning less whump, and more sick comfort and hilarity. There may be a few somewhat whumpy ones here and there (I can't resist) but it won't be as common.

Full Story Summary:

This RainCode fan side story revolves around slice of life comedy 4koma style strips with scenes of Yuma and Makoto being sick together and spending time with each other in Kanai Tower for about a week. They both have different halves of cold symptoms, Yuma with throat based, and Makoto with nasal based. (hence the title) Various cute and wacky stuff happen between the two and their bond grows stronger spending this sick week together away from their duties as detective and CEO. They may be sick and miserable, but at least they're in it together! What could possibly go wrong?

The comic strips will be drawn by Kazin, but there will be some bonus art that the two of us will work on together (similar to the title which was a collab by us both)

Also, both of us agreed that these strips should be posted on my blog rather than Kazin's. Reason being is that this story is based on illness and my blog is half an illness blog so it makes more sense to share it to mine. You all likely expect this sort of thing from me at this point anyway… XD (I’m also the director so I write the descriptions of them.)

And this series will continue to be ongoing so long as Kazin and I have ideas. (we currently have almost 100 strips planned)

I will update this in separate posts whenever more strips get fully digitally drawn by Kazin whenever she can work on them. With the tag #kanaiwardcasefiles h&h. Some strips will be random, some will be two parters, and some will have a timeline or are connected to others.

We both hope you look forward to this project! There will be a lot of funny and cute moments between these two, so we hope you makoyuma enjoyers are excited!

Also bit of a fun fact: This was inspired by when my mother and I had covid late April 2024. Something similar happened to us, and we each had one cold-like symptom more than the other. So I thought of this idea!

Half and Half: Part 1

The first two 4Koma strips of Half and Half are done! (round of applause to @kazinsblog, it seems my my intro post really motivated her! 👏)

These comic strips will be posted in groups of two like this. And myself as the director will describe them all in a short episodic-like summary c:

Caught Red Handed: Directly after the Prologue Yuma puts Makoto to bed after finding out that he has a cold. But it looks like he’s not the only one! (Makoto had a feeling over the phone call) After Yuma gets caught, Makoto moves over and offers to share his bed with him so they could both rest together, to which Yuma contently agrees. He was pretty tired after the long trip.

Style: After resting a bit, Makoto gets himself properly changed into pjs/sleepwear and decides Yuma should be cozy while recovering too. He offers him a set of comfortable clothing while he stays with him. (and since they have the same body, the sizes are the same.) Yuma curiously asks why theres a lot of colors, to which Makoto shyly responds that it’s a beta product. This was a lie and he just wanted to match with him so he made sure to have a large selection.

(See title page for the colors)

Don’t worry. Makoto won’t have a congested tone the whole time. Just in certain parts. He will sound clear in most of them, just keep in mind for the setting that his voice is still as nasally as Yuma’s voice is quiet/raspy. (I just had to be consistent with the order the story went here.)

Also yes, Maid Ama-Pal. (kazin you genius… x’D) Happy late Maid Day c: (I probably wouldn’t have drawn anything for it… xD)
