Ito
Ito. Hmm. Ito is fun. It's a shojo (ie, centered around relationships and characters) comedy about some very theater-obsessed high school students. This is only my second attempt at the genre; I tried some experimental techniques both in writing and artwork. The result was... interesting. Oddly addicting, though -- doing this is not at all the same as doing my usual robots 'n' spaceships stuff. And isn't Milly cute? I think so.Ito at the Dojinshi Bi-Weekly - 30 31 32
Note the hard-to-read Silent Darkness riff on page 31. Holiday's Lager: It's [good]. And credit where credit is due -- the caricature of Bill Clinton that appears on the Fat Willy's advertising sign is by Tom Richmond and came from here. This says something about my cavalier attitude towards copyright, I'm sure. Overall, this is pretty much the Platonic ideal of an Impromanga part, and I'm utterly happy with it... of all my impro work, this is the best.
As an aside, just like in Silent Darkness, the characters of this story seem to live in The Country Between American and Japan That You Only See In American Manga-Style Comics. Names tend to be Japanese, though a lot of the people with Japanese names don't look Asian at all; there's mostly American-style businesses; there's a weird mix of culture between the two countries... There's probably an interesting explanation that could be invented for all this. Maybe it's a parallel universe where Japan won World War II.
