	| First| Prev | Next |Last | Experimental Comic Kotone #424 "Prelude #7" (Story Arc: Prelude) | First| Prev | Next |Last | "Prelude #7" by Akira (2005-11-18) As you can see, Most of the effort goes to the last panel. I referenced one of fighting scenes from "Bleach" a bit. Most difficult part of this strip was deciding the order and size of panels leading up to the last panel. I ended up drawing more (smaller) panels than I originally planned. I hope I did well :) In Japanese, Onii-chan was saying "yabai (This is bad/dangerous...)" when he was evading. I couldn't come up with a good translation. "Oh oh..." might be the closest, but doesn't have enough tension (life/death situation). Maybe "Damn!", "Shit!", or "darn it!". Hmmm...?

	"Saturday Night Rant #1" by Akira (2005-11-19) "Yodabashi Camera" (which I often buy games and computers from) has moved to a bulding which once was "Mitsukoshi" on 11/18 (Fri) at Yokohama. The building is huuuge but it was very crowded. Sigh... I bought "Hayate no Gotoku (4)" and "Aikora (1)" this week. Yey:) Interesting Links (in Japanese): Webcomic: Taida na Hibi - updates "Lyrical Nanoha A's" webcomic strip every day. Webcomic: "Midori no Hibi" Ouen Enikki - Updating "Aikora" manga (sometimes "Haru Ranman") everyday. Image: Peeping P! - It's seems like side story of Clannad with GotoP's illustration will be out on 11/25. Image: Soreike Nichijyou Sahanji - Predicting how "Dragon Ball the movie" will look like... I'm not sure I want to see the movie... Image: Kuroda-san tte Scouter ga niaisou! - Making DBZ images with Mr. Kuroda who has just married to Norinomiya-sama (Emperor's daughter) ^_^; Image: Blue balls - interesting image. Game: Tomoyo After - She is Tomoyo Sakagami from "Clannad", but she's not (according to official website) because she has to be over 18 to be in this game ^_^; Game: ToHeart2 X-rated - I'm buying this game on December 9th. I pre-ordered, so I'll be able to get the posters :) Please write your comment to this strip at pOnju forum
