Stunning Hijikata x Chizuru fanart by RETRO★HERO

I’m sure that most Toshi and Chizuru fans are familiar with artist, Aeri Kajiwara (かじわら), who is associated with the doujinshi circle, RETRO★HERO. Her artwork is quite similar to Yone Kazuki (artist to video game, Hakuouki) and might be mistaken to be from the original. This was an oversight of mine as well at the very first glance, but afterward an in-depth review, you can definitely recognize the differences.

Kajiwara-sensei’s drawings are beautiful, classy and charming; you would easily be mesmerized by the tender and gentle moments captured. The facial expressions for her characters are defining yet delicate. Their clothing are brushed in with care and detail along with the usage of the soft and gentle color palette. While backgrounds are minimal, they serve as a nice accessory to the main focus.

Most of Kajiwara-sensei’s work online are PG-13, however, you can easily find R rated doujinshi if you shop at a store that carries this type of media. I do not own any at the moment, but would love to grab a few whenever I visit Japan. XD

Hakuouki Yome Bento Cards

Just got these in the mail yesterday and aww…they are cho kawaii! I had to frame them so they could be stared at each day! XD

LOL…the message to Kazama from the wife was great and the only one without his favorite in the bento box! With my limited Japanese, it’s something along the lines of…if you like it so much (sake that is), you can now have as much as you want! LOL

If you’re wondering what each of their favorite foods are, here it is:

Toshi – Takuan (沢庵) ~ I like these too, had a couple a few days ago..hehe.
Saito – Tofu (豆腐)
Okita – Confetti candy (金平糖) ~ He’s such a kid at heart!
Kazama – Sake (酒)
Harada – Miso soup (味噌汁)
Heisuke – Sushi (お寿司)

If anyone can fully translate them, I would be truly grateful.
