Then, Onii-chan was tortured to death... (Hahahahaha! - evil laugh)
Haruna is saying "Asadesuyo. Okitekudasai. (It's morning. Please wake up)". Don't worry so much about the sound effects. Those aren't that important. But...., I wonder if Haruna will ever learn English...
As you can see, I experimented on Haruna's hair style a bit. I usually fill in with dark grey color, but this time, I colored her hair all in black and then I draw white lines using Photoshop. I think it worked out pretty nice. A black hair can be very very beautiful if it is well treated. It takes a lot of time to draw, but I think I prefer this hair style better. Same technique goes for Laika's black clothe too. I think a contrast between black and white can very beautiful. It tighten and strengthen the view of the page. I think I might use this technique for Professor Hasegawa and Tsunami too.
It seems like Haruna like to sleep in Onii-chan's shoulder a lot. I don't understand why Laika and Konstantin get so upset by this. Kotone seems not to understand this a bit (she is very ignorant about man/woman love things). It's interesting that Konstantin seems to be good with his fists...
I really messed up with the positioning of characters. Haruna was standing on the right of Onii-chan, but she was sneaking into bed from the left... She went all around the bed to get in. Think of it as, Onii-chan was sleeping on the edge of the bed and there was a space on left side. That's why Haruna had to sneak from opposite side.
