omg...im shocked...i totally admire your work...how did u learn to do this? your amazing! u have a new fan!!!!i would love to draw as good as you someday

I really like the dynamic between Jon and chie. lol.

((WARNING: long post, as you can see )

OH, my GAWD!!! This is amazing!! Most artists, and I mean no offense to them, aren't very coherent story tellers, and their work, however beautiful their art may be, falls either flat and monotonous or incomprehensible. You are certainly remarkably accomplished, with all things considered!

First off, there's no doubt that your artwork is amazing; it's very crisp and clean, making it a pleasure to look at. Secondly, the backgrounds aren't too distracting, and they set up the mood quite nicely. Because it's never too detailed for it's own good, I'm never distracted from the actual characters themselves; you still, however, provide enough detail in the background to give the reader a sense of where they are. The mood being portrayed in each panel is also vital to portray not just by the characters' expressions and body language, but by the background. Since the focus isn't on the background itself (unless setting up a panel dedicated to give the reader a sense of where they are, in which case it'd be preferably in high detail), being able to emphasize the mood while not being too distracting is key.

What I'm really focusing on, though, is the writing portion of the comic, and how it and the artwork form a unity to create the manga itself.
To start simple, you divide the panels with pictures and words very smoothly. Moreover, if I view the comic in small view, I can still easily see how the comic flows!! I'm impressed with how you incorporate the pictures with your word bubbles to create that invisible pathway from start to finish. In addition to, that pathway is also supposed to help the reader determine whether the comic reads from left to right or vice versa. From the first and second panel, you made that very clear. The story is very solid on it's own, as well. Reading your comments, I'd say you've reached your goal when you say you're aiming for a narrative that doesn't explain itself too much. Even though barely any information is given on the plot itself, the reader can narrow things down by what you already have. I can see by other user comments that they can assume quite a bit. A job well done!

Ahem!! Anyway, just because I'm rewarding you a job well done doesn't mean I'm not going to point out some flaws, although not many.
First off, [second page third panel] actually does have a flow issue. I don't think you should have drawn her legs out of the panel because it directed me to the wrong word bubble, making me want to read what she was saying instead of starting off where you would like me to.
Second mistake I see would also be the third panel on the following page. All those tiny little pebbles in the background are distracting!

This makes me feel that you've really practiced hard on this project, and dedicated to making it happen. If it's not too much to ask, I'd greatly suggest a kind of... not a tutorial, exactly, but something to show off the techniques you used and something to give some hints and advice to comic artists out there! Also, if you have any websites or books you learned from, I'd love to hear about them If you learned from a class you took, could you share some stuff you learned?

I greatly enjoyed reading this first page! I'll definitely be reading the rest, and I'll be letting you know if I see anything that doesn't seem right.
