Ride 690: The walk home from the graduation ceremony

Pag 1

2: That day

3: While outside it was getting completely dark, for the first time in a while the three of us went home

4: while being sent off by everyone

Pag 2

1: Koga-saaaaaan

Ooon

Oi, Sadatoki, weren't you crying super hard last year too?

Are you cryin' too much, too, Hotshot?

Teshima-san, thank you so much!!

Graduation ceremony day

Are you for real!? Starting from tomorrow, Aoyagi-san really isn't coming here anymore!?

2: He'll come, right? He's just pretending it's the last time

…. no.....

He's not.... coming, Issa

Hahaha, I think!! They are, Danchiku!! Haha

… Alright....

3: Huh!?

4: What, Danchiku, for some reason I'm suddenly crying so much!? Why!?

Calm down, Issa, now that's just how you....

Kaburagi-kun...!!

Why, I'm just looking at Aoyagi-san's back gettign smaller!? It's just the same thing as always!?

Issa.... those are your feelings

Pag 3

4: The last walk home from high school

Pag 4

1: I looked back and thought about that

Pag 5

1: …. what is it, Junta

2: …. Teshima

3: …. no

4: I don't know, I wonder

5: You know, so many things happened

And I thought they might not realize right away

Pag 6

1: But they were crying

2: At the end.... Kaburagi

3: …. yeah

You saw?

Yeah

5: I was about to cry too

8: He was so stupid and reckless, it was troublesome

Haha, you took care of him well

You got attached to him!

Pag 7

1: Lately he looked forward so much to practicing with you!

2: Let's go riding, Aoyagi-san!!

Oi, this is a library room

Let's practice, practice!! That's alright, right? You can study later!!

Don't be so loud

And no, I have exams

3: Let's take exams next year!!

…. oi

Come on!! Come on!!

4: If possible, I wanted him to look forward to it before the Inter High!!

5: Right

Yeah

Pag 8

1: And what about you, Junta...?

Huh? Ah, for me? A kouhai who was almost crying?

2: Crying, huh.....ah, uhm.... parting from them felt lonely, but

I felt more like I was finally running, after being pulled

Someone special....

3: The first years , you know.... they have Onoda as a climber, and Naruko as a sprinter

No one relied on me

Just one person... who would say they admire Teshima-san's running!! I would have like that....

5: Everyone admires you

But they didn't tell you

Huh!?

6: Are you serious, someone said that!?

They didn't say it

Huuuh!? They didn't!? Then how do you know...

Because I felt it

That's too ambiguous

This is the last time the three of us will go home like this

Pag 9

2: …. Koga!

3: Junta, Aoyagi....

4: Going back home only the three of us like this - it's probably since first year that we didn't do it

Yeah, that's true....

It was the three of us when Junta made that sparkling water from the vending machine downhill explode

Wha- don't bring up these boring things.....

6: That day your uniform got all sticky...

Not mine

Mine neither

Uwa, you're so bad!!

7: …. uhm

Back then, I

Every day

Pag 10

1: I thought that I wasnìt good, that I wasn't good

4: I struggled, I insisted, I worked hard, but it still didn't do me any good

5: Back then, Kinjou-san and the other second years were getting stronger every day

And I could do nothing but confirm that distance

6: And you, in the same grade as me, were a first year joining the Inter High

Pag 11

3: Back then, when I looked up, even the ceiling felt far away

I was so far from being active in races, and I thought so many times that it was impossible for me to run in the Inter High

5: And now, I was made captain, and we got two championships in a row at the Inter High

6: Ah, that's a miracle

I can't even believe it myself

Pag 12

1: I think I'm really glad I didn't quit racing

2: I'm quitting road racing once I enter high school

Maybe I can even get a part-time job and chase after girls

3: I'm glad I kept racing

Pag 13

1: Here, this is the vending machine of Junta's incident with the drink

Waaa, what, and here I thought I would make you forget about it with a nice talk!!

I wouldn't lt you

2: Might as well!!

4: Oi, Koga, wait

Aoyagi!!

5: Here, open it!!

On your own!!

Are you kidding me.... his eyes are lighting up

6: Don't walk away!!

7: Dammit, alright, I get it

Alright, let's go again!!

8:  Our graduation's....

Pag 14

1: Champagne fight!!

Pag 16

3: Actually, back then, your bike, Aoyagi..

Yeah?

It was a good chain oil

Yeah...!!

4: I had no talent

I tried to quit biking many times

7: I was just so unhappy with wanting to be admired and noticed

Pag 17

2: But, the steps I didn't take while looking at the ceiling

3: Working hard with Aoyagi, and seeing them one by one before my eyes

Before I knew it, I was moving forward

5: It's been two years

Back then they were first years, when we lost the battle against them during training camp

6: Secretly, I really felt like “I'm getting closer to the Inter High”

8: When we were third years, Koga...

I thought I couldn't go to the Inter High unless I surpassed you

9: And I could pass you... I thought I would surpass you

Pag 18

2: I thought that

The conclusion of an overwhelming path isn't one victory of defeat

I did my best, and it's over, and I didn't realize until I looked back

It's been three years I really felt

3: Well.... this graduation might still be on the way

See ya

Pag 19

1: Thank you, Sohoku...!!

3: The next time I'll climb this slope I'm not gonna wear a uniform

5: What time is the bus, Junta?

Uhmm, 19:15, I think – ah, dammit, we have to hurry, let's run

We shouldn't have brought our bikes back home

Koga, what time is it?

You still have time!!

6: I'll go with you!!

Alright!

Pag 20

1: April

2: Cherry blossoms are dancing, and the seasons reach spring for the third time

I'm nervous...

Let's take a picture

I'm all stiff...

I wonder if there'll be scary senpai...

New first years enter Sohoku, too

long romantic baddy comic which i guess is like a retelling of some stuff from pocky’s POV idk. had a lot of fun making it :) cw character death bc yeah

[hugepolecat3298]

one of the bizarrest contradictions i think in how the toxically masculine act is how theyre all “ohhh nobody takes mens mental health seriouslyyyy i want to die all the time but nobody cares cause im a MAN” and then they turn around and go “its pussy shit to not like it when your friends mock you when youre hurt or upset. it just means that you dont have a sense of humour. thats just how real men show care and affection” like ok sir have you considered that maybe youll stop wanting to kill yourself if you tell your friends that you dont like it when they call you a gay crybaby for having to stay home sick from something

My father and I are fighting as per usual and so I thought he wouldn’t eat the shit I bake but turns out I was wrong

[coolnonsenseworld]

i love your art!! i was curious, do you have a trello or anything to check out your queue for commissions/art?

OMg people use trello for comms queue, that's an idea for the future. I don't have a precise public list, but I usually have at least a spot open - I open around 5 spots and always welcome any sketch comms. Currently I have 3 spots taken - 2 paintings and 1 lineart - all 2 chars with a background.

Also thank you so much :') I'm happy my art makes you happy!! And thank you for the interest!

i think at this point i have to add lee as a familial fave but 😭 seeing any media of him ever just makes me so sad

[saltycharacters]

Yeah yknow how people who find tone indicators useful warned others about nitpicking and making fun of them to the point where they'd feel "cringy" or unnecessary and people use them as jokes so much that they've lost their original function. That's happening right now and you people are treating it like it's justified

[certifiedceraunophile]

I love that you’re reposting that post every day this week lmfao. Bless you.

I will strong arm random unsuspecting innocent passerby's into reading @cbk1000's stuff all day everyday. This is my natural habitat suckers.

[strawbnetwork]

realising i consume media (in terms of my mindset at least) in a very weird way compared to the majority of people i see talking about it

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

What’s up party people, here’s my humble sketchbook offering of the day

[zukkatrash]

okay but why did zuko wear the exact same outfit after azula took over ba sing sei and when he later serves tea to the gaang at irohs tea shop???

[ID: screenshot of zuko from avatar the last airbender wearing brown earth kingdom robes in the episode “the crossroads of destiny”. the outer robe is dark brown and has a thick beige brim, it stops at the middle of his upper arms. there is a small design at the bottom corner of the outer robes resembling a quarter of a flower. the inner robes are a lighter brown and the sleaves are wide, with the back of them hanging down to about his leaves. END ID]

[ID: screenshot of zuko from avatar the last airbender wearing brown earth kingdom robes in the episode sozin’s comet part 4 avatar aang. he is wearing the same robes as described previously END ID]

does he just really like that outfit? did he have a new one made exactly the same? did he keep it? did he take it with him when he went to join the gaang? or was it sitting in the closet of his room in the fire nation? is this just a very popular design for robes? but that wouldnt make sense considering that mass production of clothes isnt a thing in atla, so whats the truth???

i mean they probs just didnt wanna design a 36th outfit for him
