Merlin fanart: Magical Love Gentleman
I was going to do a long and involved explanation of where the idea for this came from, but I... don't know. I suspect I had been thinking about fandom cliches or something along those lines.
I should probably state, for the record, that this is meant to be funny. :-/
Rated, like, PG. Warning: dangerously high levels of KAWAII DESU!!!!!1!11
From the back cover:
Straight-A sorcery student Merurin is delighted when he receives the news that he has been unexpectedly chosen as a suitor for the king's beautiful daughter. However, when he arrives in Kame-Rotsu, he is shocked to discover that his princess... is a prince!
And, what's more, while the confident, handsome Prince Aruto is popular with his subjects, he seems to delight in treating Meru-chan cruelly. Are the two boys destined to fight forever? Or will they discover new ways to explore the budding passion that exists between them?
Notes:
1. So if I had the time/energy/inclination, I'd actually draw this. Uther would be the scary dad drawn with no eyes who exists solely to give the seme something to wangst over. Gaius would be the generic old temple guy who occasionally turns into a chibi and flips out, and exists solely for comic relief and so that the uke actually has a job. Gwen would be the tooth-achingly adorable puppy-owning little girl with huge eyes who exists solely for the main bishies to go "awwww!" over, thereby showing that they have emotions. Morgana would be a successful businesswoman type, probably the owner of a jewellery store or something, who exists solely to make the seme realise he's in love with the uke. Lancelot would be the bishie who shows up in the second volume solely to introduce ~*dramaz*~ to proceedings.
2. ... I guess I know more about yaoi manga than I might have otherwise admitted. o_O
3. The title "Magical Love Gentleman" is shamelessly, shamelessly I tell you, stolen from Questionable Content. :D
4. Ikkou Ikimono is, in a roundabout way, a translation of my name. :P
ETA: See also Volume 2! ^_^
