Description Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worth while,
The precious moments are all lost with the tide, yeah,
They're swept away, and nothing is what it seems,
A feeling of belonging
To your dreams...

PLEASE FULL VIEW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

Three part series for 's contest. This is the second page. :3 'Tis Emi and (Takano) Masao.

[BACKGROUND INFO FROM PROJECT CLICHE]
Emi fell in love with a guy named Kazuki in America. Both of their parents (who are rich), thought it would be a good idea to have the two get married. Kazuki, though, didn't quite like Emi as much as Emi liked him, so he ran off to Japan. Emi followed him, and found out that he had found a new girl, Yuuko, to love. During her wild attempts to get him back, she had a bodyguard hired from [I'm assuming] her parents. That would be Masao. Despite their best efforts both in love and in professionalism, they end up falling for each other. :3

After readin' a little about the two and their backgrounds, I kinda wanted to do something that was a bit on the sad, yet endlessly romantic side. (I'm way too much of a romantic person, believe it or not.) One of the things that makes ME swoon is the cliche scene when X lover is upset that Z lover doesn't care about her, and then Y secret lover consoles the sobbing X lover because he really loves her. I dunno. Maybe that's me, but it's SO. CUTE. I can't stand it! I'm sorry, I'm a hopeless romantic.

As you can see, I was listening to Roxette a lot whilst working on these three pages. I feel that they really fit the mini-storyline I gave them. Maybe that's just me, but whatever.

...panel three was a PAIN IN MY FUCKING ASS. No, like seriously. >| It took way too long to sketch and ink and color and EVERYTHING ASDF. I like how the side profiles came out this time in panel two. And ho ho ho! I just went shoujo all over your asses in panel 5. I like shoujo scenes. Is that so wrong? And given what's on the next page, it was a good spot to transition. Although I think that I could have transitioned into it better, that woulda required 4 pages for what I had in mind and ASDF I'm not doing that. >| No time to color 3 pages, let alone 4...

My art's going to the crapper as I do each page XD If only it could be in B&W! D:

HAHAHA ALSO MINUS 30 POINTS FOR ME ON ALL THE SHINY 'T^T' STUFF WITH EMI BECAUSE BLIZZ HAS AN INNER TOMBOY TOO HAHAHA. PIIIIIIIIIIIIINK DRESSSSSSS!

Emi, Masao and Project Cliche belong to .
Art and scripting to moi.
Lyrics are from Listen To Your Heart by Roxette.

*____* AAAAAAAHHH The shoujo-ness of the fifth panel is just !! xD I really like the manga techniques you used here too to express Emi's inner sadness and the ribbon of memories in the third panel. >w<

Yeah, it's shoujo, and it's mangaish. I'm glad that they worked out. I wasn't sure if they would or not. ^^'; This is one of the first actual comic pages I've attempted before, so any more feedback is appreciated.

I would say something witty, but the truth is that they were baking a cake. She has one of those pastry decorator bags, and she squeezed it way too hard. XD I remember when my mom would use them to do her wedding cakes. Thought it would be cute. :3
