Funari

a cute cartoon cat is sitting down and waiting for something . ALT: a cute cartoon cat is sitting down and waiting for something .

Yeh~~ I'm just eager and excited for the inevitable lol

I'm looking forward to it, all delusions aside heheh~ I AM curious about this one!

Manami teases Emi with some kissy-face.

In a surprising turn of events, Emi actually responds and tilts Manami up so she can give her a kiss!

Manami.exe has stopped working.

Got another "Shocked Manami" thingy for you, this time we're pushing the envelope a little....her and me, that is lol

#rpf #funariart

Omg though, her birthday is officially tomorrow now. Emi's birthday! Pi Day! [tomato'd]

Sorry, I did say I wasn't gonna make the crossover this time around lol And I didn't! Not on her illustration for this year~ It's really nice. I like it...even if I have been tweaking it every day lol

BUT!

But...they continue to share *some* moments with fans. They wanna show those happy outings. They're okay with it. But not every single time. So us followers of the two are, legit, spoiled, and it's hard to shake off 😂🙂😅

This is something the House had talked about last year as well. They have confirmed that they hang out, or keep in touch in some form, A LOT. Of course, they're not gonna show every instance. They have shifted from "production fanservice" to "private life peeks" during last year...

Funniest (in a karmic way) but saddest (in a "not gonna spoil the fans" way) possibility is that they already met up and that really was Manami's table a few days ago

I'm still latching onto that for some strange reason 🤪

The desperation will (momentarily) stop when they share a new photo with us!

[continues her manifesting spell, hoping for a Saturday surprise ngl lol...BUT hoping for a meetup at any time, even post-bday at this point]

I'm sure the podcast episode is gonna be fun, too, just from the sounds of that teaser! Gimme dat music talk, heheh~

Whomst has been revealed! Megumi Nozaki, who is her guest for this week's Relaxed Tuning!

Nomoto startled at pumpkin (crop)

Nomoto making a realization (s'mores!)

Manami enjoying some local cuisine in Dubai. She clearly enjoys it

Manami got caught by Emi!

It's funny that drawing *Manami* with shocked expressions isn't really that hard to do, when she can actually do it (on set and off). She's got a stretchy face. Good for expressions.
She'd be amazing in something more on the comedic side of things, I think~

Manami teasing Emi about her thing with heights

Manami being the clingy girlfriend

Manami mischievously inching closer toward Emi

Manami teasing Emi with kissy-face

(Compare to previous panels in the same pieces; note the hair)

Ahh, I'm gonna miss it when she cuts her hair again. You know she will at some point 😗

Manami stunned!

Manami stunned!

Manami stunned!

Manami stunned!

I can't help doing this to Manami's hair when she's startled. I think it's a funny gag🤣

Cutes (wip)

Okay, we're going mild delulu as a warm up and THEN extra strength delusions

Oh, it's gonna be a fun night~

Ngl, now that I've gotten used to Emi's new 'do, it's REALLY fun to draw

My recreation of Emi enjoying a drink with...someone. Whoever it is, they're clearly the photographer, though!

She drink (with whomst?)
#funariart

I hope that's the last of them, but don't be surprised if I quote-post other tidbits I forgot along the way

BUT! As of today, the main "Like a Love Letter" series has a full thread of references! Ah, so exciting! Not much else, just...neat to have this all organized~

I am considering diving into some delulu levels of RPF again. Just....a head's up lol

A cropped version of one of the illustrations for the fic. Full version in the fic itself

It's....not Emi's birthday yet, but I wanted to reshare a piece I always talk about but never link. It's not part of the main AU btw! None of the ones that get a "spicy" are, but it's birthday-related lol

Only for the strong #rpf fans (lol)

So exciting, even from here!! 🤩 I have to make sure I post my bday pic at a decent time lol, though she's gonna be busy busy~

Hopefully you can get some decent sleep later!

[comical spittake]

Omg.... WHAT A MISSED MOMENT! 🫨 Aaaaaahhh! Well, at least there's the concert 😂 Next closest Emi encounter, a given lol

It's a VERY adorable photo 🥰
Makes me wanna grab a drink of my own! 😆 🍹

D A I K O N

(actually I don't remember what was said, I just wanted to post Kasuga and her massive daikon)

I am also sensing a pattern with a lot of her recent roles

Yuki
Yuko
Yuuko
Yuu

Clearly she needs a "Yuka" role 🤣

Oh. We did get a clue....last month lol

She had said it was VERY emotionally draining to the point of needing to find momentary soothing stuff.

Is she....is she gonna be antagonistic? 🫢

Pinned post for this "Tatsuki-sensei is Too Sweet!" PR account. The summary paragraph in the middle of the post reads: A new human drama set in a "free school" where children who cannot go to school can spend their time in peace. The story depicts the characters laughing, crying, and struggling to find hope in the diversifying ways of life."

I'm definitely looking forward to what this particular role is like. Exes can go ...all sorts of directions nowadays, y'know?

Especially when the drama itself has this summary (TL in alt text)

We need awkward-but-kind Yuki Nomoto back. She'll see it as a reward after her recent roles, I'm sure 😉

"Tatsuki-sensei is Too Sweet" [New Cast Revealed] Tatsuki's ex-wife, Fujinaga Yuu (Higa Manami) will be appearing! Quote: I still remember feeling isolated and harboring vague anxieties. Starts at 9pm on Saturday, April 11th

PR photo of Manami as Yuu Fujinaga

Can't help but think silly thoughts over Manami's latest roles. This winter, she was the woman who a guy had a one-night-stand with but didn't lead to the usual cliches. Now I learn, and this is still just announcement mode, she's playing the MC's ex-wife in an upcoming drama

Interesting roles lol

(I have a car. It works. But I decided to walk instead. Naaaariiii)

Now why did I decide to walk 10 blocks to the grocery store in the windy cold? 🙃
