Hi guys! Sorry for the few hours delay! My sister’s paying us a visit for about a week, so she’s taking up most of my time IRL. （ﾉ´д｀）

Anyway~ So we’re on to page 3! What to say about this page… well, Misaki-chan and I did have a little trouble with the first panel, mainly because we couldn’t decide on the sound effect! I mean, what would you choose to describe someone who stands up abruptly? ヘ(°￢°)ノ Sure, the girl slammed both hands on the table, but her chair would probably make a much louder noise as it’s being pushed away, right? And you can stand up quickly and put your hands on your desk without making a sound anyway! ヾ(・ω・ｏ)

And of course, I could be completely over thinking that again.ヽ(´Д｀ヽ) I like the second panel to be honest… Maybe I’m envious about her legs.

Oh, and you probably remember chibi Jeremy from the preview post. He’s still as adorable as ever, wouldn’t you agree? ｡◕‿◕｡

Ah well, time for bed! I got a few hours of sleep left before I need to run around with my sister again. Hopefully I can finish my pages for the Komikon release even with this distraction, ohoho~ (≧▼≦；) More news on that soon!

Woohoo! Finally, we get to see the first page (or second page? eh?
(,,#ﾟДﾟ))!

And just a quick reminder for the new readers, you can read all the available pages for this series and many others in the Manga Section! (`･ω･´)ゞ

So what can I say about this page? Uh… well, how about this is the first time I’m using SketchUp for the backgrounds of my manga? That’s right~ I’ve leveled up from a 2D artist to a 3D one! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

Ok, not really… ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ I’m not very good at it for the moment, but learning this software does make drawing backgrounds a lot easier! So I highly recommend it!

But wait, would one consider that to be cheating? ヾ(×× ) ﾂ I’m not sure, but being that I’m only doing this on the side, I’ll take all the help I can get!

On another note, check out the 4th panel of this page. Just what is this lunch box filled with anyway? Roast chicken? Duck? And I just ate roast duck the other day, wheee~! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this page! ヽ(；▽；)ノ Come back next week for another installment of Crystal Shadows!

Karma: Chapter 2: End

Click me to view the latest update!

So this finally marks the ending of Karma: Chapter 2! Thanks so much for sticking around with me so long! o(^o^)o Did you like the ending?

When I asked the people who bought this issue, everyone seem to have understood the ending in their own way! Some say that the soul of Professor Azorite was taken by the demon to use as a trap for Aly. Others argued that the first Azorite was a demon, and the second one who appeared beside Shijirou was the real soul! Still others say that the first and second Azorite were really one and the same and that this was a test done by the Angels Rei, Tori, and Shijirou to see if Aly is "worthy"!

But I am bombarded with more questions as well. What was Azorite implying when he said Rei was "no mere angel"? Who is "he" that regards Aly as "most precious in his sight"? What did Shijirou mean by "far more important matters to attend to"?

And, perhaps most importantly, will we be seeing more?

Unfortunately, I can't answer any of these questions even though the chapter has ended! m(_ _)m I'm very sorry! But yes, I am working on Chapter 3, and I want to remake Chapter 1 as well. ♥ For now, I will leave you guys to find your own conclusions, which will hopefully be satisfactory enough until the next chapter is released! Feel free to send me more questions and conclusions though! I'd love to see what else everyone has come up with! >.<;;;

Thanks you for all of your support and patience! Now I can go... play. xD

Karma: Chapter 2: Epilogue 5

Click me to view the latest update!

Two pages of webcomics, two days in a row? I must be getting sick or something! Well, actually, I have a cold right now, but that’s beside the point! >o<;;;

I’ve been thinking twice about posting the last two pages of Karma’s Epilogue, but I figured… why not? I had always been a webcomic artist first, and that’s what I’ll probably always be!

This is, by far, my most favorite page of the entire chapter. The funny thing is, the epilogue wasn’t really written this way in the original script. I remember penciling this page in the dinning room when I was pretty much exhausted from finishing page after page of Karma. I don’t think this was even supposed to be a page, but after the pencils were finished, I knew I couldn’t leave it out from the epilogue.
So I rewrote the ending. m(_ _)m

It makes me wonder if professional mangaka allow their stories to stem out this way, or if it’s just me. =A=;;; The dialogue wasn’t even finalized for this page until about a week before printing for Komikon 7!

Oh well, please enjoy the latest page! There is only one left to go! ♥

A.illusions: Page 77

Click me to view the latest update!

I am probably the most sporadic webcomic artist in the history of this planet. =_=;;;

When was the last time I updated A.illusions? Why, that was an entire year ago~! =A=;;; What is wrong with me? It’s not like I didn’t finish drawing this page; in fact, it’s been done since last year! (/>m<)/ ┻━┻

Ok, to be honest, I was actually re-doing all of the old pages of A.illusions. Since this is my first webcomic, most of it is really experimenting with styles, panels, shadows, story-telling, etc. I wanted to post the re-done pages once a week, but something else came into play that… well, may change everything about A.illusions altogether.

I can’t really say what it is yet, but hopefully I can let the cat out of the bag next week. o(^o^)o Until then, enjoy this newly refurbished page! ♥

Now then, please tell me if the dialogue makes sense or not. I’m not really good with this hacking business, so forgive me if my newbie-ness is showing. ;u; ♥

Karma: Chapter 2: Epilogue 4

Click me to view the latest update!

Hello again! Happy New Year! The mangaka forgot that January 1, 2012 was a Sunday, and so she forgot to update her website again! ;o; So pitiful!

So here we are with the 4th page of the epilogue! I have to admit, the term “head slap” game from Gibbs of NCIS. I remember him saying something like… “A slap on the face is an insult. A slap on (the back of) the head is a wake up call.” Shijirou needed to snap Tori out of his monologue, and before I knew it, there were chibis on the middle of the page I was drawing on! xD

Speaking of another kind of page, I’ve decided to make a Facebook Page for kurohiko.com’s 1st year anniversary! :D Now people will have an alternative means of getting my feeds whenever the site is updated!

Thank you so much for everyone’s continuous support on my webcomic endeavors! I will continue to do my best as we approach the year of the dragon! Everyone stay happy and healthy, alright? Go, go, fight, fight!
