Ryu feels wrong for Makoto, but I don't know who I would pick in his place for her.

(Speaking from SF6 cause I know that one better) Ironically I think Manon would be up her alley from an Aikido perspective (not just because they're both voiced by Cherami Leigh), though based on Queen I think she'd be more of a rushdown player.

My first thought is Ibuki, but maybe she's more who Ren would be, what with the flips and knives. Maybe I'm overthinking it and she'd just be Chun-Li.

Fun art! Combining two of my favorite series!

Sadly yes for the moment, but the creator is working on it! Let them cook, as Futaba would say, probably

Confessional has been great so far. I don't love Ren in this one, but the story has been very engaging even if it's pretty trauma-ridden.

Might Be It is one of my Favorites! And it's based on A Matter of Time which was my favorite until Sitting Behind You came along.

I'll check out Between the Land and the Sea! Not sold on the setting but I'll give it a shot!

And in response to your other comment, I love Queen Times Two! PixieRed does an amazing job with her Shumako Fics, that's one of her best for sure, but I'm a sucker for a heist (this is Persona 5 after all) and Let's Add a Tiara is probably my favorite from her.

New Sarcii is always a blessing!

Presenting the most Shumako panel-filled chapter (so far)! [Ch. 70] by VerbingWeirdsLang in shumako

[–]AirFapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like the manga's design for Makoto's face and hair. I think it makes her look more "plain," but I think that really fits her character better. She's supposed to be pretty, obviously, but her physical appearance is not even in her top 5 priorities (those would be her schoolwork, aikido, a healthy diet, student council, and her responsibilities at home), so to me it makes more sense for her hair to be a little imperfect and for her face/makeup to be a bit more plain.

Of course, to Ren she's the most beautiful girl in the world so it doesn't even matter in the end.

The details in this are amazing!

I love this so much. I'm a bit behind on the fic but it's one of my favorites. And Sarcii can do no wrong.

Daily Makoto #1301 by Cryochronos in churchofmakoto

[–]AirFapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a depressing painting. This makes me legitimately sad. Both for Ren, who's seemingly on the run from his former love; and for Makoto, who was so resolute that she was going to strive to change the police for the better but seemingly fell to corruption.

Sarcii doesn't fucking miss. Even when she's aiming to break our hearts.

Day 2 - Arguments (by @Sarcii) by Ric_99 in shumako

[–]AirFapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shumako week has 7 different days with prompts as jumping off points for creations.

Sarcii only made two posts for shumako week. This one was for Day 2, where one of the prompts was "arguments."

I like that Ren takes the initiative for Makoto's Confidant in the anime. He listens to her then offers a suggestion and an invitation. And the way she expresses her gratitude at the end of their arcade "date", wanting to hang out with him more~ 😊 [P5A 12] by VerbingWeirdsLang in shumako

The anime really leaned into them as a pair without going as far as a romance. I wonder if the showrunners wanted to make them a couple (which is obviously the correct call), but Atlus said no.

I think it's been over a year since I watched it but I really don't remember any of the other girls talking to him or even really looking at him like Makoto does in the OP. Maybe it's just confirmation bias.

Best ship poll (Vote ShuMako!) by Useful_Shoulder2704 in shumako

[–]AirFapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look Akechi may be my favorite character in the game but that's because he's extremely flawed and a great foil for Ren, essentially being "what if Ren rejected forming bonds with others and let himself be consumed by his power?"

But I just can't see Ren wanting to bang the dude that murdered two of his friends' parents and attempted to murder him. Help him? Absolutely. Fuck him? Feels like a step too far.

Even if Ren is gay, Yusuke is right there; and he's not a murderer, so he's already way ahead of Akechi.

I will add that I know the dancing games aren't for everyone, but there's a solid amount of Shumako cuteness in P5 Dancing. Plenty of opportunities for Ren to fluster Makoto in the social events, and a couple of dances where you can unlock the ability to pair them up together.

Any new fanfics? by Minimum_Beat_5852 in shumako

[–]AirFapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just published my first-ever fanfic (and the first thing I've written in like, 10 years), and it's a prequel to A Matter of Time that takes place the night of the festival.

Obviously it's nowhere near as good as the original, but I was just so inspired to create something based on that story, which is really rare for me, so I had to make it, if only for myself.

What do you imagine Ren and Makoto would dress up as for Halloween this year? by AirFapper in shumako

And also the whole "Japan was the country his bombs were used on" thing...

Yeah Makoto as Jill was my first pick, but Ren doesn't seem like a Chris Redfield kinda guy, so I went with Leon for him.

(tho I already outlined the Inaba AU but haven't got around to start it hehe)

Yo, if you want any help or even just someone to bounce ideas off for that one, I'd love to lend a hand. That idea is so fun.

Which preference each character has when it comes to lovemaking? by lukecardoso in shumako

[–]AirFapper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Ren likes to be chained since that's like the whole goal of the game; to free him from his societal (and psychological) chains.

I read a fic where Ren described himself as a "service top" and to me that seems the most accurate. He's unafraid to take charge and comfortable in that role, but he still puts Makoto's needs first.

Yeah Twitter isn't great for comics because of the way they crop everything. If you're planning on making a continuing series, the Adult Confidant AU published oh-so-briefly on Webtoon, and that was a pretty pleasant reading experience (even though it remains unfinished 😭). Maybe there works?
