Artist's commentary
Rinne and Sakura's Date
Alternate title: The prettiest dolphin in the world!
Truth is, I only wanted to draw that dolphin. I fell instantly in love with it. I thought that this chapter of the manga was really cute too, so why not draw a scene?
I originally painted the amusement park in the background, but I was so tired by then that I did it in five minutes and it ruined everything. There were a couple of details that disappeared while I was coloring too (the little market on Rinne's tracksuit). I had no good red color either.
I had not seen the color artwork of Sakura's outfit, but somehow this ended up pretty close to the original.
