Chevalier d'Eon really existed, you know. He was really a spy for the French Kingdom in the 18th century. But his king was NOT the Sun King.
Ever saw that movie "Stand by me"? This scene's a funny variation of one not funny at al lin that movie (there it was a big leech, yikes! The 'victim' was Will Wheaton and the savior River Phoenix, both about 12 years old...)
Fabulous story, worthy of a novel. Lovely drawings, especially the expressions and the hands. was smitten with Nagaoka-kun from the very first page! That face is just oozing kindness (●'◡'●)ﾉ
You really get to know those kids, & to feel for them. Poor little squirrel Kitahara ... I am sooo sorry for her! ╥﹏╥ And Kurosawa-kun himself, the incarnation of loneliness...
That would be saitama not kurosawa ╮(￣▽￣)╭
This is nice. That age, some kids are big and adult-looking, some are still small and puppy-like. She draws that sooo good!
This is a really great drawer. His pen and brush flow with such ease!
Her.
Okay, her. It doesn't matter, really, "drawer" is a neutral noun. So is "artist". Fact is, the drawings are really good. Agree?
If this was an American story, uncle Matsunaga and the grandparents would be knee deep in a custody lawsuit aganist each other since halfway the series, by now.
Tokugawa Ieyasu did NOT look like that. Everybody knows that. Who does this mangaka think he's fooling?
I like this arwork. It's good counterbalance for all those boys with eyes like soup dishes (⊙…⊙ )
Good change from the saucer-eyed, skinny yaoi-men! At least this mangaka knows his anatomics... Great story to make gay kids feel good about themselves, too. Shouldn't turn into a misogynist plot, though.
