Drawings Tagged "I Wanted to Protect This Smile" - Last Glimpse of Sun Before the Rain [Spoiler Warning]

"I wanted to protect this smile" is a pixiv tag that is attached to illustrations of smiling characters who have already lost or are sure to lose those very smiles throughout their stories. Smiles so carefree, and as innocent as a blooming flower, can be painful because we know that something tragic lies ahead.

The long, painful road ahead for Kagura (from Inuyasha) seems almost nonexistent when looking at her pure grin as her hair dances in the wind.

Take heart and see if you recognize any of the doomed smiling faces below.
