Rurouni Kenshin - The Life of Misao and Aoshi

I love this pairing, Misao and Aoshi, so much from Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) and so I've made up a story of their life after the events in Rurouni Kenshin. I think they deserve their own spinoff, not just about them, but their relationships and dynamics with the people around them, as well as their history when they first knew each other.
So the story concept is how Aoshi and Misao find their place as a couple at the end. I feel like the story mostly comes from Aoshi's POV when I end up finalizing the writing for it. Which should be okay, since Misao is a more straightforward character.

Some initial sketch. I imagine Misao getting hurt by something, causing Aoshi to feel guilt as he has been trying to keep her safe since she was young.

Just a sketch of them fighting together. Why not? But I don't like that 2nd sketch tho haha. It's weird now.

The wedding between both of them. Misao is not a conventional type of female, so she wouldn't have a conventional type of wedding dress and outfit either.

A sketch of the final scene I imagine where Misao finds closure with her old friends, the old Oniwabanshu gang.

Some outfits concepts of Misao. This was strangely what inspires me to actually start on making a proper story for them.

A short comic. I think Misao's been pretty lenient with Aoshi's behaviour sometimes. She should be entitled to feel angry at him. So this was one of the scenes I imagine.

I guess the official cover for this? LOL. This art is pretty old. And I can't believe no one thought of this shipping name.
