Looking back at the pages while I translate, I really could not help myself but laughed. The storyline was so stupid... and there were many places that did not join smoothly. No wonder why it has never been a good piece. The original idea came when I was about 14 years old... in Grade 10, near the time when I started drawing mangas. This is also the first and only manga I have drawn, inked and toned manually. I don't think I will ever buy screentones and stick them on paper again... It was hard work, now that I recalled, but it was memorable. I was scolded for working so late at night, I was scolded because my parents didn't like to see me draw, but now that I think of it, everything's funny. Perhaps it is because I was young that I was selfish. I will never regret starting to draw mangas, and I will keep on drawing and improving my work. I hope you have enjoyed this short one-shot, and please check back for new updates on the site. -------------------------
