My Boyyy

The panel below is probably one of my favorite panels of Chigiri.

It encapsulated how intense and driven his character could be. Even Nagi was drawn and fired up with those expressive eyes alone.

I'd like to see more of Chigiri looking like this in the main manga but we will never going to get it except in Episode Nagi because the main focus now is having Nagi's character further develop in NEL arc.

I always salute the author and illustrator for always giving an in-depth characterization and illustration to his character. I've always said this before but Chigiri's eyes is one of his biggest assets and is one of the most beautifully drawn in the franchise.

He doesn't speak a lot of words but his eyes can be really telling of how he feels at the moment.

He has gone a long way from being a taciturn and crestfallen character to being one of the most determined and confident characters in the franchise.

I just love that in his own way, he was able to influence characters in a positive way like Nagi for example who thinks he's cool after learning of his injury but is still striving to be the best there is. Also, for motivating Reo in the second selection in a backhanded way to keep going and have his own revenge to climb his way up to the program.

A lot of people in the fandom might find him boring or ordinary or even accuse of people liking him because of his looks. If that were the case, I'd have pander to every character in the franchise who is visually attractive in there a long time ago.

If you find him not interesting enough then that means his personality is not for you or you haven't got enough time to truly understand his character. He's one of the most complex yet realistic characters in the franchise who is not solely defined by his injury nor by the loss of Kunigami himself in the second selection.

He's kind but he's also sassy, assertive, competitive and cocky sometimes. And it makes him well-rounded because he doesn't fit the stereotype of a nice, ikemen character.

*sighs*

I'll just count the days till we got to see a new chapter of Episode Nagi but until then I'll remember on why he is my best boy starting from day 1.

I actually drew a background like watched tutorials on Pinterest

What my art looks without the huge amount of filters and effects

“......What’s that girly looking guy doing here?”, someone snickered.

“He must have mistaken this for an idol audition?”

“Can he even play soccer? Looks ain’t got nothing to do with it.”

- when I was reading Chigiri's part in the light novel, I couldn't help but think that even if he was a guy, he suffers from the some of the same problems that a woman faces in the society.

Like you're being judged by your good looks instead of the talent and what you can bring to the table.

Because of how pretty damn attractive Chigiri was, it's not that hard to take notice of him easily especially with that fiery red hair and ruby red eyes of his. However, it also comes at a disadvantage because people had questioned him and his skills when it comes to soccer before he proves them wrong.

That kind of prejudice with other people had a silver of similarities in real life. Some people might've encountered this in real life and when you stop reading and think about it, yeah, it happened to me once.

I guess that is one of the reasons why Chigiri has been the most interesting character for me from the start. He was created by the author as a standard, bishounen boy but he was a well rounded character. He wasn't nice by any means but possessed an array of interesting characteristics that makes him more human and a tad bit relatable sometimes despite being a downright gorgeous character.

I'm just really intrigued on where would the author takes his character route in the future arcs. Hopefully, he'll rise up higher in the top ten and got a higher offer because he certainly deserves it for carrying the Manshine City into his back.
