It's amazing that I was able to do the rough sketch of this during working hours. I started this just three days ago and only finished coloring today. Man, I was really rushing with this, but I'm sure glad that the coloring and effects turned out A-okay!

Chapter 427 really inspired me to do this. Kubo really gave the IshiHime fans a nice treat. The IshiHime interaction was so cute!!!

Since I've been getting shoujo vibes lately, especially because Ishida is the Student Council president now and Orihime is the school idol, I've decided to make a scene of them "almost kissing". You see, Ishida got hit by a ball there, whipping his head towards Orihime. He seems to be falling and their lips are almost touching. Sorry if I didn't make them kiss. It's just that there's so cute like this.
