Masa (fashion meme)

On tumblr I asked people to send in Saraiya Goyou, Mushishi, ACCA and Natsume Yuujinchou requests for me to draw in study breaks, and then I found a fashion meme that I thought might be fun to do too.. This is the first I felt was good enough to post

For the last couple of days I’ve been listening to stylelikeu’s what’s underneath project because I can listen to people talk about themselves all day apparently. They’re basically video’s of people answering honestly to very personal questions, and they have to take off one item of clothing after each answer until they’re in their underwear. I feel like answering one for every drawing on behalf of the requested character…

In this case Masa:

What insecurity have you overcome, or you are working on overcoming?

I.. have terrible stage fright. I have not overcome it, but I think.. I mean, I have realised that I do not have to? Does that count?

I grew up surrounded by people telling me I was worth nothing unless .. unless I was able to prove it - that I could fight. They told me I was a coward unless I could.. show off my strength on command, and fight without anything to protect but my pride.

I cannot do that. I can fight-  ..I mean, I fight for the people I promise to protect, when they need my protection. Usually that promise is strictly professional, but … often it is an unspoken promise I make to someone when I start to care about them.
