Description "There was so much she wanted to say, so much to tell him, but all she could do was stare. Jin raised the parasol, and she leaned against him, her cheek against his chest. The cotton of his kimono was soft, and it carried the faint scent of sandalwood. It seemed a shame to ruin his clean dry clothing, but the gentle arm over her shoulder told her he didn't mind."

Fanart to accompany Arafel's fanfic, Wait in Vain , which is about the reunion of Jin and Shino from the Samurai Champloo episode Gamblers and Gallantry.

Please full-view. Crit is welcome, as always.

....Oh my god. Oh.my.dear.sweetest.caring.loving.god. I cannot even... I seriously have no words... Whatever I may attempt to write down below is just a weak attempt to praise you for creating this artwork dedicated to probably the most amazing episode in the entire history of anime.

Although for some time I preferred shipping my happy imaginary Jin x Fuu - despite that fact episode 11 was my all-time favourite - and I've never EVER seen a fanart on post-series involving that lady. Now I may ship both

That episode - everything about it was so heart-wrenching, so tender, so precious, so incredibly angsty and SO JIN... I don't know how one can not fall in love with the animators' and scenarists' work on that one. Fall forever.
It's just later episodes made one think about probabilities of Jin x Fuu and completely neglect the evidence... Oh dear, oh my, I'm hyperventilating right now, I guess, for the awesomeness of this artwork is overwhelming me and making me remember all the feels I've had while watching that for what umpteenth time

This is just so Jin, so in character. Never breaking his promises and returning to the one who understood all of him in their few moments together. Thank you so much for drawing them together. In a probably (as I wish to imagine ) happily ever after.

And the fic you're inspired by - it's priceless in its own amazing way that can't be fully described with any kind of a gorgeous praise - it's, together with your marvellous tribute, the epitome of what is Jin and what great emotive fanart can ever be

Just, thank you for this perfection
Made me want to just let go of all the rl business and get lost in rewatching the masterpiece which SC is and forever will be

An excellent bit of art for an equally excellent series and fanfic. I especially like how you're able to give the two a look of worn fatigue without despair.

Sweet and tender moment.

I love that fic.

This is absolutely beautiful. They're so gorgeous together. In my personal canon, Jin definitely went back to her when her 3 years at the convent were up.

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. I love how they are standing all the way to the left instead of in the center; the perspective is great. Expressions are great too; I can feel the love!
