Description

((Might as well post something since my main project's taking forever to get right.XP))

MegaTokyo has totally changed my views on manga outside of Japan; I used to be extremely sceptical and harsh on American manga-kas that "failed" at imitations of the gene. Frankly, I still am a little biased due to some of the lower quality stuff people try to pass off as inspired. Such as Ahmed Hoke's @Large and Christopher Hart's drawing book series...there's not enough distinction from American comic book formulas, art or plot ideas alike.

But once I was loaned Vol. 1 in 2004 I wished there were more "real" manga stories out there like it. Every character has their own separate world (or more!), and interacting with each other expands those worlds further. AND the art is nice; I don't understand the unprofessional comments concerning the style when it's compared to Penny Arcade. Just, WTF.:no: It's the deepest non-toned manga I've seen. Which may or may not have caused the return of good international mangas as of late (THE DREAMING, Aoi House, ect.)...

The story has been piling on the angst for the last 1 1/2 chapters, as you might have guessed.XD Still, any first-time readers owe it to themselves to check out at least the first three chapters. Anyway, it's nice to see Largo become more developed in recent times (although I miss the random strips before he left).

I had SO MUCH FUN coloring!! Maybe too much...I think I sucked out all of the inspiration needed for another good one, but who knows.:XD: It's worth it when it was my first full strip. Endgames (last panel) is totally my favorite scenerio of MT (with the consciences right behind it...:heart: Boo~).

I was totally looking to see Piro (Fred Gallagher) at Sakura-Con, but apparently you need a ton of permiss slips/IDs/misc. numbers to get in due to the hentai section WHICH was not clearly outlined on the website.:| *RANTAGE AGAINST HAVING HENTAI IN THE FIRST PLACE*

Book 4's coming in June for sure because Piro passed the deadline...way to go, Piro!:dance:
