Description Yes, I'm still in fangirl mode. I've been working on this picture on and off for the past 2 weeks and I only managed to finish it today since there are no classes tomorrow! I think it's the only fanart I've made so far where I actually took time making a background.

Saya and Hagi don't look like themselves in this picture because this is actually a fanart of Blood+ Adagio, a manga by Kumiko Suekane based on the Blood+ anime. The 2 voluma manga focuses on Saya and Hagi's secret mission to hunt down Chiropteran in 1900's Russia. It's very violent, dark, bloody but also quite fluffy at the same time.

I used to wonder why the artist drew Saya with slightly longer hair but I realized that it's 'cause she'd look a bit weird with her short hair cut in 18th century clothes. Gaah, I can't seem to get enough of these two!

The hot weather probably made me want to make a winter picture.

Hooray for Blood+ Adagio art. You are a god for drawing this. Adagio is by far my favorite blood+ spin off.

Thanks so much for the 's! Yes, Adagio is my fave spin off as well! ^^ I think it would have been interesting if it was turned into an anime.

Blood+ A: I love Saya's outfot in that series, its so weird and awesome looking, and I actually sorta prefer her hair this way instead of the weird flippy thing she's got going on in Blood+ the actual series.

Do you know if the second Volume of A has come out? I think Diva is on the cover I saw a preview thing of some japanese version of Ebay lol.

Anyway Lovely drawing~ I absolutly adore the expresisons Saya looks so somber and emo lol
those trees are awesome

chanbarariot In reply to MieleMac [2007-06-19 15:07:17 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your comment! Yup, Saya is quite an emo character but it's kinda understandable with all the bad stuff happening to her. I started liking Saya's design in Adagio after getting used to it. (Even Hagi looks different!) She looks more feminine and elegant comapred to her B+ version.

The 2nd Volume of Blood+ A has been out for quite a while already. It has Diva and Rasputin on the cover (in a weird position ). I enjoyed the 2nd volume more than the first because from what I understood, there are many shocking twists to the story. It also reveals a lot more about Saya and Hagi's relationship.

MieleMac In reply to chanbarariot [2007-06-19 16:03:29 +0000 UTC]

Plus I love that shirt/Skirt thingy Saya has

Really? I haven't found scans anywhere, all I could find are the first volume, haha it seems all Adagio covers are weird positions, like Saya and Hagi's in the first volume lol.

Would you know where I'd be able to find scans of the second volume? I can't seem to find any ;_;

Once again, beautiful piece!

Thank you for your comment.

If you're asking about Blood+ Adagio, it hasn't been scanlated (completely) or translated into English. But if it's the manga adaptation of the TV series you're looking for, you can try looking in the lj community.

I got mine from Kinokuniya but I think that any manga store that regularly recieves new shipments from Japan have it as well.

It's quite easy to research on the availability of this manga on the net, dude.

It has not been translated yet so you have to get it in Japanese.

they're like the best couple ever.. i've been waiting a long time for a great pairing to come up.. my last fave was miaka/tamahome, and that was 6 years ago! is blood+ adagio related to that episode of blood+ where the two of them were searching for grigory/rasputin??

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

chanbarariot In reply to pinky-julie-winky [2007-05-28 02:51:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it is related, Blood+A covers the events that lead up to ep. 17. The big difference though is that Rasputin in the manga is a bishounen while his picture in the anime is more like his real self, an old man. The manga also explains why he had to transfer to Sonia's body.

Thank you so much! It's my first time to draw the two of them together in a serious artwork so I was worried they wouldn't look like themselves enough (besides the fact that this was based on their design for Adagio). Thanks for the !
