Hello guys! I hope everyone's doing well. This is yet another Oofuri post. Remember Abe and Mihashi's hey-gimme-your-hand-I-wanna-see-how-warm-it-is ritual?

I thought it'd be funny if the RIVAL TEAM BATTERIES attempted it...and ended up doing some cracky doodles, and couldn't find it in me to trash them, so here they are! Let's pretend those reporters from "Saikyou Sports" [Shimizu, the one that has Mae-chin lips...(she interviewed Hanai and Tajima after the Bijou game). Plus her polite cameraman, Masaki] go to each rival school, and request the respective batteries to do the 'exchange-of-warmth' pose for their sports magazine.
Inaugurating with Mihoshi Academy! The reporters find the battery during evening practice, and explain the 'purpose' of their visit. At first, both boys go 'wth random, much?', but they eventually agree to just...go with the flow. Hatake warms up to the idea pretty quickly. Kano begs to differ.
Next, they drop by Tosei during morning practice and get a shot of Rio and Junta's version of hand-holding. Junta still thinks Mihashi's face is the funniest thing on the planet. Rio, as usual, ends up being the scape goat.
The third years have retired so Kazuki wasn't there during morning practice. They do, however, manage to get the following shot when Kazuki comes to visit his Kouhais before evening practice starts. Junta was obviously ecstatic. Note the transformation from "Warui Hito" to "Ii Ko".
This happens after Shimizu and Masaki [the reporters] leave. Junta ends up being a few minutes late for practice. It's not that he was held up in conversation with Kazuki or anything...it was just that he stood there, staring at his Kazu-san's distancing back that he didn't realize time had passed. And before he knew it, big ole Wolverine was at his neck.
READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT.
...and that's it for today. Doodling Oofuri is so much fun! Wolverine dominates my imagination. Seriously, I can't leave that guy alone. I want to do Sakitama, Bijou, Musahino, Kasukabe and ARC next. I'll do them in batches...hopefully! XD
