Not only my first "School Rumble" drawing, but also my first attempt to draw Yakumo as a happy girl.

What got me doing this drawing was noticing Yakumo's sad/shy-looking facial expression in the anime (which often happens), as if she's lonely. So I then thought of what would her facial expression look like if she was happy.

Sometimes, I consider her a character I can relate to; we love animals with exceptions (her exceptions include dogs, but dogs are no exception to me, but snakes and sharks are), we're shy, and we don't have lovers. For the curiosity, if could have any anime girl for a girlfriend, she would be a good option.
