Donut Delinquent Leo Tachibana Reference Sheet

As promised, our next ref sheet for Donut Delinquent is Hana's love interest (and the one responsible for making her fat!) Leo!

So, there are a bunch of things you might notice first lol. I'll begin with his name. I'm dropping the "american transfer student" angle for this story, so I want his name to be a little more... actually Japanese? So his last name is Tachibana now. good Orange boy.

As for the other big thing... the cane. For this new take on the character, instead of being some master chef with magic food powers or just some shallow fat-obsessed perv, Leo is just a sweet, shy, sickly boy who just so happens to live in a café with ample access to sweets. He's very frail, and I thought that would pair well with tough Hana. He has balance issues and severe dizziness, so he needs a cane, and sometimes even a wheelchair. I have a cute scene planned where a very tubby Hana tries to sit in his lap and well, shenanigans ensue.

As for other details... He's definitely lost some weight since I last drew him for Kabocha Academy Curves Club! As I've explained, I wanted this to be focused entirely on Hana's weight gain, and It didn't feel right making Leo into a pig as well.

Finally... I lied! There is actually one more character who will be getting a big reference sheet like this. Leo's best friend since childhood, and well... the victim of Hana's bullying. Hana's the Donut Delinquent for a reason, boys and girls. I'll save their identity for when I post it, but they're definitely the third main character, with everyone else being secondary or tertiary.

P.S, remember to vote in the three monthly art polls! They all end Friday night! Right now, it's looking like this month could very well be entirely Scott Pilgrim themed! Ramona Flowers and Knives Chau are in the lead on both the WG sequence and female pinup polls, and Scott Pilgrim himself is tied with Soul Evans from Soul Eater for the male pinup! If it's a tie, I'll likely just go with Scott to make it a theme!

Looking forward to it, good sir! Poor girl was always portrayed as having a lousy home life, so can't blame her for being bitter, but it's genuinely nice to know she'll get nicer as she plumps up. Unsurprising regarding the other girl's resentment, but not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination. Just means more character growth for those not named Leo or Hana.

Oh yeah, don't worry! So like, Hana isn't the best person at the start of the story. She's a fiery, bitter mean bully of a girl. She'll definitely be growing as a character at the same rate she grows fatter though, becoming kinder and simmering down as she falls more in love with Leo. And well, there will be ample reason why she was the mean girl to begin with... The catch is, the bullied party might not be as warm to the idea of their best friend falling in love with the girl who bullied her, regardless of any perceived change of heart...

(Intrigued) Well this is interesting. Am fond of the idea that the (male) protagonist is a normal guy rather than anything supernatural or as shallow as the water covering a mopped floor. Plus, Leo seemed like a good guy in Curves Club, am looking forward to seeing what impact his disability has on his character. Am admittedly a bit worried though, hope the bullying aspect is toned down as Hana grows (fatter? As a character? Is there a difference if both these aspects grow at roughly the same rate?), and if she doesn't then hope it doesn't make her any less lovable.
