Wow, you really know what you are doing, all your pages are well designed, but in some frames I think you should go all the way til the end of the page (bleeding or tachikiri).
How did you learn to design your pages? you have a really nice way to design pages. =o I actually learned some new tricks from your pages.
And the way you draw skirts and dresses xD is very lolilicious.
I'll continue reading the next chapter, bye bye =p.

: ) I'm really glad you like it. Thanks! Yeah, Chapter 1 parts 1 and 2 are kind of infamous for pages that don't bleed til the end. I orignally wanted to have that but when I drew it, the bleed didn't survive the resizing process. That's not really a problem with Chapter 2 after a point, but I do plan on going back and extending the bleed for publication.

For the most part, I learned how to design pages from experience. I've done American style comics before so I had some practice there. When I shifted to manga I felt I could be more free in panel arrangement. I usually try to cap my panel count off at 7 per page. Also I believe that each or every other page should end at a cliffhangar of sorts. It's nice to know that I'm an influence. XD Thanks. o^^o

^^ I'm glad you like the dresses too! It is usually a lot of work to pen, especially with all those frills and folds. I'm always pleased with the results though.

Hope you like the next chapter! Thanks for posting!

I like the story so far x3! and the special you made was really awesome, to see all your previous styles from past years and stuff. The good thing is that you actually kept working on the same story over the years that made your story more believable and your characters more interesting.

X) Thanks Yukineko! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I'm also glad you liked the special! My next one covers the characters evolution by the way. And I'm also glad I stuck with the story and characters too. It helped getting some opinion about my first drafts so I could get better. Chapter 4 is underway on my site if you're interested.

I'm glad you like the dresses too Yume_chan! If you want I'll show you how I do it one day.

I've really grown fond of this series and its characters so I guess that's why I'm still going with it until it's done! XD Another part of it is that I don't like giving up on projects. I may take extended breaks, but I always try to finish later on.

I hear ya. I guess when a plot goes arwy it may seem like the best thing to do. On the other hand you could always push it in a completely different direction out of nowhere! ^^ That's kind of what I think CLAMP did for Tsubasa not too long ago.

It really was unexpected. I'm a little behind in reading in-between chapters but right now basically they're in the middle of some long-winded flashback to when real Syaroran met real Sakura. ~_~ Just waiting for them to move on now.
