This is a very strange manga, and not written in my usual style. I've had the basic idea for it since Christmas, but I didn't start it until February 19th (and I totally changed every character in it!). I did it for a school assignment; we had to do a mural, so I drew each panel on half a sheet of paper and taped them all together. That makes it 59 1/2 inches long by 22 inches high. (As I'm typing this, it's hanging on my wall!) I completed the manga in one week (the project was due a week after I started!), and did it all by hand; all I did on the computer was shrink the art (for the small panel version) and erase a couple smudges. This makes the lettering a little harder to read; sorry, but I was trying to see if I could do a manga without using the computer. Next time I'll letter more carefully and with something thicker. This is all black-and-white, like a real manga. Anyway, hope you like it, but if not, I'll understand; it is a little bizarre, and quite different from anything else I've put up. I'm planning on eventually doing some really good mangas; this one was more of a warm-up, although I did learn how to use crummy 'fadeproof' (ha ha) pens and toxic paint markers...
