Title:Chihaya and Shinobu Flower Language Creator(s):dynamite Rating: G Major Tags: none Why is this work awesome?: As a graphics fill, I love the concept of this. I love flower language and the choices for each of them — Chihaya with carnations for fascination and love, Shinobu with heather for solitude — are both really nice. The juxtaposition of the black and white manga art against the backdrop of the flowers is a really lovely contrast, and I like most of all how Chihaya and Shinobu are positioned so that it appears like they're looking across at each other, from one panel into the next.
Title:Sudo Akito Sends A Valentine to Himself Creator(s):bingualien Rating: G Major Tags: none Why is this work awesome?: I love the entire concept of this, because of course Sudo would send a Valentine to himself; if not him, then who? The way this artist drew his expressions in both panels is also really great; when I look at his smiling face in the last panel I can't help but smile back, even though he's definitely smarmy about it.
Title:Chihaya/Oe Magic AU Creator(s):luckycricket33 Rating: G Major Tags: none Why is this work awesome?: I love the perspective on this, the way Kana pulling the incantation out from her mouth toward the viewer gives the piece an undeniable sense of depth. I'm also really charmed by the concept, because of course a series like Chihayafuru with so much focus on poetry needs an AU with magic incantations that might as well be poetry. (And I love the little sweatdrops around Chihaya, the suggestion that she's flailing a little while Kana-chan is holding strong.)
