Kaji o Sagashite (Looking for Kaji)

from left to right:
Izumi Shizuka
- was a rich kid...until she discovered that her clan had arranged for her to be married to someone she had never met. Therefore, she did the only logical thing to do. Run away. She's the heroine type because she loves to stick her nose in when other people are being hurt. She's a nice, caring girl, but sometimes, she's incredibly dense to the point of being inconsiderate. (Not that she wants to) Despite her lack of height, she has a strong character, always seeking justice for others, and nearly forgetting her own welfare when she does so.

Hino Kaji
- is a mysterious, silent traveler whom Shizuka bumps into several times at the start of the story. Although seemingly uncaring most of the time, he turns up in the most perfect times to help out. Not much is known about him, and he never seems to be interested in sharing his life story. Kaji seems to know a lot about what's going on around him, although he doesn't usually say anything about it. He's usually quiet and gives nothing but short, abrupt comments, but, as we discover, there is more to Kaji than meets the eye.

Mouri Seiya
- is a chef/entrepreneur/rich kid. He and Shizuka knew each other when they were young, and he decides to join the road trip. He's a really nice guy. REALLY. So much in fact, that he could, unfortunately, sometimes even pass as a pushover. Not that he really is a pushover, but he just lets Shizuka have her way. Seiya is mostly "the supportive friend", giving input when input is asked, and stays slient when it's wiser to just grin wordlessly along the sidelines. He lacks confidence sometimes (though he has no reason to), but, put in the right situation, Seiya could seriously kick butt.

to those who are familiar with my gallery, and with Blue Star: yes, this Hino Kaji IS Hino Kaji. different series, same guy.

sketch: 3 hours, conceptualization and planning included. yes, it took me that long. i think it's because i haven't drawn shizuka and seiya at all, so i'm not used to drawing them yet. and i SO need to study drawing clothes. T_T

cleaning: 5 hours. as usual.
