I love Jirou's hat! I spend half of Japanese class the other day drawing rotating in a circle... (that was coming from animating)

It's great that you're able to be an excellent comic maker as well as having amazing art, it shows such talent!

Oh man- thanks so much for the comment. ;A; I'm not worthy. Actually most of my work is mainly comics based. If I didn't have a story going I probably wouldn't be able to produce much art at all. ( And thank you for your support. m(_ _)m

Ooooh I can't wait~! I love the expressions you draw on your characters (Especially Jirou).

How do you keep your lines so pretty and clean? ahhh ;__;

I draw using really large strokes, I guess, and working close up to the image helps as well.

asdljiasdf ; ___ ;! Yeeees. This is so glorious. Jirou's expressions here are incredibly amusing to me and so fabulous. I'm especially enamored with the first panel XD WIGGLY FACE. And Oscarrrrrr My love (I am pretty sure I have a thing for his hair. ; 3 ; It looks so soft and I want to pet it lkjsdf). He's so blunt, ahaha. I adore him to no end : <

The last panel just kills me. I love how utterly freaked out they look (and with good reason) XD Oh Jirou, you maniac!

This is great ; 3 ; Truly.

Yeah, I know! Oscar's hair in front of his face is so cute <3 <3 <3 I'm glad to hear that you like him. <3

Jirou totally thinks that he is completely "normal" so doesn't really notice when people are freaked out by him. Which means he does all sorts of crazy things without batting an eyelash. LOL

I am!! I haven't even bought #2 yet ;n; Someone I knew had it at a convention I went to a while back, and was showing it to folks, and I was reading that. @__@;; Do you think #2 will still be around when #3 comes out? I hope to get them at the same time.

romanshoubu In reply to ashcomics [2009-04-10 01:20:23 +0000 UTC]

Are you serious? Wow- I can't imagine that someone would like it so much that they would be showing it around to people like that! May I ask what convention it was (or just where)?

And yes, #2 will definitely still be around for sure, and I am planning on reprinting #1 as well.

Ahaha, looking at your art always rekindles the fire in my heart BECAUSE IT'S SO GORGEOUS! Your work is just special, it'll always charm me.

This page is so hilarious, I love Jirou's awesome reassurance and Oscar's nonplussed expression! Oh man, you wish there was more blood? AHAHA! You ae truly the best. I love how you add all these wonderfully kickass elements to your story. Like gang fights and paranormal mysteries. Plus, there's glorious tortured romance! Oh man, this will be epic! ;_____; OSCP #3!!

Thanks so much for your comment. >O< You write the best, encouraging comments ever. ;A; It's nothing to Oscar because he has seen worse, maybe.

Yeah, I hope that it will be good. I'm kind of worried. *A*; Anyway, trying my best to finish up the couple of pages I have left so that I can move on with my life.
