A loose comic depicting Emi's excitement of checking out Rie's clothing exhibition, the subsequent nerves piling up as soon as she sees her...despite having worked with her already before (once an idol, always an idol, eh?). As the ladies prep for some photos, Manami sees Emi's still super nervous, so she reaches over to hold her hand. Rie notices and decides to help by posing super cool to cover up what's going on behind. Later, Emi did an impromptu fanclub stream and at one point she just lets it out that she and Manami hung out (the photos were released at a later date). I jokingly put in that Emi at least patted herself on the back for calling Manami "Higa-chan"....which is funny to hear nowadays.

Reminiscing about that time Emi and Manami checked out Rie's fashion exhibit and how clearly nervous Emi looked because OMG HER IDOL, but it just LOOKS like Manami reached over to give her a little comforting squeeze during their photos....and Rie helped lol

[PEDANTIC NARI WARNING!]

Let's be real: ManaEmi IS "yuri!" They have an intimate bond that they can't describe in simple words or phrases. That's yuri!

But they're not *lesbians* (that we know of; that's their privacy), so what I'm doing in these pfp drawings is turning them into lesbians! 😆

Two separate shots of Emi and Manami, lined up to make it look like they're reacting to one another....though I'm pretty sure the Emi screenshot is actually her reacting to Manami because Manami entered her stream chat for a bit. The bottom pic is from an unrelated thing though there's a theory the receiver is Emi.

The non-AU Series ManaEmi fanfics, all in one post. These are more delusional and dance more on the "spicy" side, just as a warning~

[Image is of Manami and Emi on NemuCha, with Emi chatting while Manami nods. If you look closely, there's a transparent hole so we can see what's going on under the table. They're momentarily touching their hands.] The other, taller woman nodded, finally speaking up after merely providing backup commentary during this segment. “I know there are also times when we want to be somewhat closed off from others while we go through things, but we don't bother one another when that happens... For me, when I do see it happen with her, I just think, ‘Oh, I see. It's one of those times,’ and I'm sure she’s felt the same thing with me, too.” The solemn nod beside her affirmed her theory. From under the table, for just a moment, the smaller woman reached over and tenderly touched the taller woman’s lap. It helped that they were nearly seated side-by-side, so the reach wasn't so obvious. The taller woman touched her fingers back in reply before leaning forward to respond to the hostess’ compliments.

Sneaking in some skinship while they chat on a podcast~

Up on a random apartment balcony, we have Emi just kind of chilling...while she looks over at her companion here. It's Manami, but as a deity of some sort. She's just relaxing on the edge of the balcony itself, all sparkly and glowing

I juggled with where to post this, but I think it still counts as RPF as I do view these two as Emi and Manami, just in an alternate universe where Manami is a goddess and Emi is the casual mortal who encountered her. Unsure how shenanigans will unfold, though
#rpf #funariart

Manami, in a recent outfit from a show, is cradling Emi by her lap. Somewhat. Emi is seated up but slouching. Manami has her hands on Emi, which causes Emi to blush just a little

In the goddess' embrace

Emi is receiving a lot of love and happy wishes on her birthday! She's really happy! But then she notices someone all the way in the back...It's Manami! Manami doesn't try to make herself know, however. She remains in the back, simply giving Emi a warm smile and mouths the phrase "Happy birthday" to her. Emi quietly smiles back, feeling an extra surge of warmth

Emi had shared a pre-concert video early on the 14th. She was talking about how it's also her birthday. Hours later, around the early evening, Manami quietly snuck into this post to both Like it and leave a simple comment (in English proper; this is not a translated post): "happy birthday♥️" Of course, people eventually noticed and started Liking her comment because omg that's adorable! But it's fascinating that she makes sure Emi is the one in the spotlight on this very important day. It's not about her. It's about Emi!

It's Emi's day to shine, no matter what 🎂💖

Manami on the ground, so is Emi but Emi is resting above Manami. Manami is reaching up to caress Emi

It came to me in a dream 💭

#rpf #funariart

Manami teases Emi with some kissy-face.

In a surprising turn of events, Emi actually responds and tilts Manami up so she can give her a kiss!

Manami.exe has stopped working.

Got another "Shocked Manami" thingy for you, this time we're pushing the envelope a little....her and me, that is lol

It's....not Emi's birthday yet, but I wanted to reshare a piece I always talk about but never link. It's not part of the main AU btw! None of the ones that get a "spicy" are, but it's birthday-related lol

Only for the strong #rpf fans (lol)

Hey cowboy #hetrich #rpf

Manami slowly approaches Emi to get all close and snuggly but then Emi surprises her with a quick turn to be face-to-face! Woah! She's so close...!

In the spur of the moment, I remembered the hilarity of September '24 and decided I wanted to channel that energy in a quick lunch doodle, with their current looks

#rpf #funariart

Emi and Manami enjoying a nice day at the park. They are laying on a blanket spread on the ground. Emi has her eyes closed while Manami stares up at the sky

Oh, my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way...🎵

#rpf (only this specific posing idea is, heheh) #funariart

A sketch of Manami and Emi based on their 2025 year-end party photo. The sketch has exaggerated their expressions on the sillier side. The drawing also would like to point out just how close Manami drew Emi in for this photo. Cheeks touching, Manami possessively holding Emi close with her left arm, with her hand gently pressed up against Emi's other cheek. The fingers themselves are clinging onto Emi's blouse as well

I have drawn this before, yes, but this time I'm exaggerating some key points from the original photo

Do you see why we call Manami the clingy one? Lolol
#rpf #funariart

Manami and Emi hang out while enjoying coffee

Coffee, hot and cold~
#rpf #funariart

Emi and Manami enjoying Hokkaido corn. Manami has shifted her umbrella a little so Emi can also enjoy some shade

Enjoying some Hokkaido corn 🌽
#rpf #funariart

Sketchdump of Emi and Manami holding hands followed by close up expressions of both ladies

So, um....I guess I'm still thinking about that awkwardly posed photo...and how I'm PRETTY SURE someone was holding hands with her lol

I dunno why I love playing in this one moment 🤣

[Jazz hands] Okinawa~~
#rpf #funariart

Though, if you ask me, in both the Hokkaido chapter and the year-end chapter, they shared a bed in each. You can imagine them cuddling in their sleep 😗😂
#rpf

Once again, I wrote a scene that takes place after some sleep. Once again, my interpretation is they simply crashed upon reaching the apartment. Nothing special. Sorry to the folks who want something a little spicier lol

Read "Closer" or "Birthday Hugs" if you want slightly spicier ManaEmi 😆
#rpf

[stumbles in]
Omg penultimate chapter! Year-end party and a quiet after-party!

their angle is really opposite proved by google street view #notme #rpf #again

Emi is princess carrying a clingy and silly Manami. Internally, Emi is wondering how long she can even do this, as you can see little vibrating lines around her joints....and then her legs give out. Manami has a mini heart attack.

Call it a headcanon, but I don't think Emi could actually princess carry Manami. Not for long anyway...
I just wanted to draw more clingy!Manami lol
#rpf #funariart

Maybe tonight, maybe not tonight, but I do plan to draw the "Emi gets selfish" cuddle scene from that same chapter sometime, too
#rpf

(...)With a comfortable idleness, Manami found herself leaning against Emi. She wasn't sure when it happened or why. She simply let it happen. Emi didn't seem to mind, either, having wrapped one arm around her, also without much thought. Emi was checking her phone and Manami was simply laying there, thoughts of Okinawa preoccupying her mind. When she eventually ran out of things to consider for the “grand tour,” she came back to the present…somewhat. (...) Manami heaved a long sigh, not out of sadness but to relax. She settled even closer to Emi, now laying her head against her chest. She could hear her companion’s steady breathing. She listened past that, however, and relaxed to the rhythm of her heart, and she closed her eyes as she performed a small nuzzle as if finding the perfect resting spot. She both heard and felt the hum of curiosity from Emi, though the other woman made no changes to her own position.

NemuCha sure left us with a lot of new feelings and wonderings, huh? Even in RPF World, the stuff talked about toward the end of the show continue to repeat in Manami's head [specific scene quoted in alt text]
#rpf #funariart

Shhhhh

She is thinking (wip)
#rpf

Just a little teaser. I got far earlier! I think I'll get it done soon~
#rpf

She's not sad, not frustrated, just...thinking (with a cute pout lol)
