I really didn't have time to finish today's comic strip at all... ;_; I really didn't have time this morning ;_;... I always can't get up early... 6/08 Thu - I came back home around 11 PM because I had urgent work to do... I only had enough energy to refine drawn lines a bit. Geez.. I forgot to add speech bubble to Haruna-san's last dialog... Sigh... Please write your comment to today's comic strip at pOnju forum. Shoujo Shounen Well, there are series of manga called "Shoujo Shounen (sample illustration)" written by our favorite (among Konstantin and me) manga artist Yuu Yabuuchi (website: Utopia). The title "Shoujo Shounen" literally means "Girl-Boy". As you can easily guess from the title, every story is about a cute boy aged 11-12 dresses up as a girl and becomes a famous Japanese idol ^_^; I want to remind you that all the cute girls drawn on front pages of the books are all boys. A story is simple and characters are cute. A backbone of the story are exactly same, but each story has different characters and background. From what I read, author originally planned to do only 3 stories or so, but since it got so popular, she decided to extend the series to seven. Since languages are pretty simple, I recommend to those who want to learn Japanese through reading manga. By the way, I reference these manga when I draw Alex.

	"Back in School for the Summer" by Totaku (2006-06-08) Well, I am offically back in school for right now. ^^ So I shall be working in the University grounds for the next 2 months on Two Summer classes. I don't really have much to say today since I am just returning from my short Summer Break, but I can tell you that this Summer will be quick and intense. Each class is only a month long and we have to work pretty hard 5 days a week. I guess I can tell you all what I will be doing this semester since I have a lack of topics to discuss. Print Communitation This class is the class I'm currently taking right now. It turns out this class centers around working as a team. I will be assigned various partners for each project that we perform and we will be learn some more advanced methods to solving problems through graphic design. So far I'm find it mind numbing, but I'm managing it just fine. Advanced Web Design This is the class I'm waiting to partake in. ^^ It'll take place next month. You might know that I am capable of designing unique websites nowadays like My website that I did for one porject here at school using dreamweaver and Fireworks, but in this class I shall be learning how to use PHP and MySQL which is a major plus since I'm looking to do some really clever stuff with this . ^^ I'll probably be teamed up here as well, but for now all I got to do is wait for that class to begin before I can talk further on it. This is about all I can cover for now, until next time.... Ja Matta! ^_^ -Totaku Please write your comment to this strip at pOnju forum
