Yamikari in Marwan's kitchen
So one day, Yamikari decided to pay Marwan's house a visit. XD They had a lunch in Marwan's kitchen, eating traditional Malaysian delicacy. Here, Marwan is teaching Yamikari how to eat with his hand. Traditionally, Malaysians (well, the Malays, that is) eat with their bare hands. It doesn't matter if you're right- or left-handed: It is proper table manners to eat with only your right hand. Because, well, Malaysians traditionally clean themselves with their left hands...

...Not TOO colorful here. I mean.. honestly now. Not only do you have you and Digisushi here, but you have an entire color background [Which I'll applaud you for as it's roughly...your whole kitchen.] WITH the accessories. Now that... that I will say it rather innovative. [As I don't think I've really seen anyone come up and do a domestic scene.] That by itself was noteworthy to me.
Not to mention that.. in reading the description.. it also presents itself to be rather educational as well. Well.. I say this as I can't say that I ever knew that it's proper when eating with your bare hands to use your...right hand. [As I happen to actually be left handed myself.] Learn something new every day, that indeed you do~
....A nice picture AND reason behind it. Now in all truth you can color me rather impressed here~!

Yeah, this is actually a pretty mundane setting. No magic or all that fantasy stuff. That's why I deliberately did not make this picture any colorful, using more realistic colors that isn't suitable for children's picture books, but still pleasing to the eye.
By the way, the kitchen was based from my IRL kitchen. XD (No kidding!) I took a picture of my kitchen, and used that photograph to draw the background. I simplified some details, though, mostly to lessen the time it takes to finish the picture (which already took me 2 months to finish, despite). x_x;;
And yeah, sadly, Malaysia is indeed a bit discriminating when it comes to lefties. The table manners depicted is just one predominant example. When it comes to shaking hands with people, or even handing items with each other, it's also considered proper manners if you do it with your right hand. When I was young, whenever I hand items to my parents with my left hand, they'd say, "Hold it! Which hand are you using?". I should know; even though I'm right-handed myself, my mother is left-handed. (Pretty ironic indeed, especially after what I've just said about my parents.) At one time in her life, she was forced to learn how to write with her right hand. A positive result is that it essentially makes her ambidextrous, being able to write with either hand, but for everyday purposes, she prefers to write with her left hand.

Well, keep in mind that eating with your hands is considered a proper table manner in Malaysia. =P Though, we still have the option of eating with fork and spoon instead. (In fact, we have to use fork and spoon to eat noodles, for obvious reasons.) Eating with bare hand only applies to rice.
