Description I have been reading the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga lately!
There's this one chapter (I think chapter 11) where Jounouchi disappears one day, and Yuugi, Anzu and Honda find him to be in Hirutani's gang. They try to get him back, but one of Hirutani's gang-members punches Yuugi in the face and they walk away snickering. Later on, Jounouchi is silent, and when asked why, he beats up the guy who punched Yuugi, saying, "For hitting my friend, I can't forgive you!" The gang then proceeds to beat up and eventually tase Jou. Eventually Yami no Yuugi kills the gang in a "Sennen Game" and rescues Jounouchi.

There's one part in the chapter where Yuugi, Honda and Anzu are searching for Jounouchi, and Anzu suggests that they go look for him at his apartment. However, upon knocking on the door and opening it, a liquor bottle is thrown at them and Jounouchi's father slurs, "That brat hasn't been home in two days... I'll kill him when he gets home..." The three friends retreat and Honda explains that Jou's father is an alcoholic who abuses him from time to time.

This left me shocked. How in hell could someone abuse poor, sweet Jou?! My heart went out to him (being a past child abuse victim) and he was instantly made my favourite character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. So of course, being the person that I am, I decided to draw Jounouchi.

This picture is (crappily) copied from the last page of chapter 11. I love his expression, and I love the shading. It looks like he's got something to hide; an absolute "cat-who-caught-the-canary" look. Anyways.

Made in dA muro.

PS- Since people are telling me it's not crappy, then... okay, it's not. So I'm going to come out right now and say... I'M REAAALLY PROUD OF THIS. That is all.

Jou has always been a favorite of mine! I agree with the sadness of his backstory. There are a lot of implications with it. I've always wondered about Yugi's dad...I've went through each of the characters before, and I think out of all of them (suggesting something went wrong with Yugi's dad) only Honda and Anzu didn't have a cry-activating backstory, as far as I remember anyway.

This is really good! It's really cute. You got the expression perfect, something that I find hard to do sometimes when I'm actually trying to.

Jou's story always broke my heart, as did Seto's. WHY ARE ALL THE CHARACTERS AMAZINGLY SAD??? Except Yuugi. We don't know much about him, other than that he lives with his gramps and he lives with his mom, is amazing at games but where the eff is his dad?! Seriously.

RIGHT?? IT'S LIKE TAKAHASHI WANTED US TO CRY AT EVERY CHARACTER'S BACKSTORY! (BUT ESPECIALLY JOU'S!!)
*ahem* anyways. I didn't know he lived with his mom! 0.0 I'll have to see that! (See, I'm only on ch. 21, so... yeah. haha.)

Yep he does! She shows up around... Duel 41! She's actually funny. She shows up I think once more in Battle City but that's it.

I just want to say that Honda never directly stated that Jounouchi was abused; though it was implied, mostly by the fact that the first thing Jounouchi's father did, thinking that it was him, when his friends came to find him was throw the sake bottle at the persons trying to enter the door. And yes I know also that it was, however, directly stated--by Jounouchi himself in fact--that his father is a gambling foolish drunk.

I don't say this to offend or anything, I'm just a Yu-Gi-Oh! nerd to the core. Speaking of which that picture is adorable.

Hm. In the scanlation I read, Honda said he'd been abused. Oh well; scanlations aren't that trustworthy anyway, right?

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!

wow this is amazingly well drawn

I love that chapter in the manga. And I know what you mean about Jou being abused by his father. It came as a shock to me as well. Actually a lot of the characters back stories came as a shock to me especially Ryou's

OMG thank you!!

I know, right?? I have soo much empathy for Jou I haven't gotten to Ryou yet but when I do I'll probably cry too lol. (I've heard he lost his sister and mum, but... idk?)

hmm yes. Ryou's back story isn't really mentioned at all but i heard from a fan site about his family after Amane's name was mentioned in one of the chapters
