My Gentle Giant<\/a><\/em> is a Lovaboy Comics<\/a> webtoon comic by writer EAB and artist Myssdark.\u00a0 The story centers around \u201caverage social outcast\u201d Jun Watanabe. Jun is a third-year in high school but he looks like a first year. He wants to play soccer, but isn\u2019t very good and to top it all off he\u2019s gay. However, when Akihiro, the school giant comes to his rescue, Jun finds out that looks can be deceiving, first loves are often full of misunderstandings, and what matters most, is not how you look, but what\u2019s inside your heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tAccording to EAB, the idea for the story came from a GL comic called Tamen De Gushi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere were two side characters. One guy was an oversized, scary character who didn\u2019t talk much,\u201d EAB said. \u201cSo I thought, what if this big scary guy was actually a really sweet giant who liked cooking, cute plushies and cats. And what if the typical short, sweet, baby is actually a super sports fan who just wants to fit in and find friends.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \tTo EAB, the most important facet of the story was to make sure that it felt authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI didn\u2019t want to write a comic about coming out, or even sexuality,\u201d EAB said. \u201cI wanted to write a comic about first loves and friendship.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Their goal is to first finish the comic but moreover to create a love story that is relatable and fluffy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToo often we\u2019re loaded with angst when it comes to BL\/ Gay comics – nothing wrong with that by the way – but I want to write a story that just makes you say \u2018awwww,\u2019\u201d EAB said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \tHe goes on to say that he was an awkward teenager like Jun the protagonist and that he never found the strength to confess to his high school crush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concerning Ichi, a friend of the main protagonist, Jun, EAB said he wants to further explore how the character is folded into the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIchi is only a side character for now, but eventually I plan to explore his feelings toward the LGBTQ+ elements of the story,\u201d he said. \u201cI want him to not only be accepting of his friends, but to understand it. And possibly, find love of his own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n EAB is the author of the Fated Mates, Sinbad\u2019s Trail, Demons Don\u2019t Cry, Second Opinion, Black, Chasm webcomics and the upcoming Heart to Heart Novel which is currently being printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tBrazilian artist Myssdark is the person behind the art of My Gentle Giant. <\/em>When starting out working on the project they were anxious and excited as it was their first time working on a project like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \t\u201cMy art style has changed a lot, and I started to try making their designs a bit different, giving Aki thicker eyebrows and longer face, to try make him look a bit more intimidating, but not too much,\u201d Myssdark said. \u201cAnd Jun I tried to just make him less soft, but still looking a bit feminine and masculine as well. I like drawing Jun, mostly because I like drawing his hair, it’s soft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \tThe Artist loves to see reactions to their work, it inspires them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI love finishing a piece and getting proud of it, seeing how I have grown,\u201d they said.
