Manga artist Kentaro Yabuki, famed for series like "To Love-Ru," "BLACK CAT," "Yamato Gensouki," and "Ayakashi Triangle," has been in the game for nearly 30 years. While he might not have an ongoing serialization right now, fans still adore the master, especially for his unparalleled ability to draw female characters.
Recently, Yabuki dropped a self-drawn illustration of "Hunter x Hunter"'s Kurapika on his X (formerly Twitter) account. The bizarre composition instantly sent fans into a laughing fit, sparking a huge buzz across social media.
Yabuki-sensei, who regularly shares illustrations, posted, "Suddenly felt like drawing Kurapika, first time trying. I got so serious drawing it that I started feeling a bit shy, so I just added Rito, who happened to be passing by, and the whole vibe changed."
The illustration features Kurapika activating Nen, sharing the frame with "To Love-Ru"'s protagonist, Rito Yuuki.
Naturally, the image immediately sent netizens' imaginations into overdrive: "Kurapika is about to be in danger!", "I bet Kurapika's gonna be Rito's next victim lol," "Can't wait to see what lucky pervert incident happens next," and "Kurapika has totally turned into a girl!"
Of course, Kurapika, always known for their striking good looks, took on a distinctly feminine aura under Yabuki-sensei's brush, leading to a flood of "trap" memes in the comments. XD
Seriously, Yabuki just *gets* what the fans want! Who knew adding Rito to a Kurapika drawing would completely change everything and instantly become a trending topic? We can't wait to see what other hilarious and creative ideas Yabuki cooks up next!
