freetalk for 3.27.06: This page was incredibly hard to draw! I went through at least two or three drafts before I came up with something decent! Apparently, even though he's one of my oldest characters, I had forgotten how to draw Asano very well T_T;; He and his squinty eyes gave me some trouble. Also, I think Mitsuru needs to look more his age . . . :D;; . . . But, he's so cute all chibi-like! Dangit. We're reminded that Asano used to be with the paparazzi (is that why he had that gossip magazine?). He ruined many a life with his scandalous photos, so perhaps in his own twisted way he's redeeming himself by warning Mitsuru about all the press he's been getting because of Shizuka. I'd like to think that, of course, sometimes my characters write their own stories and say whatever they want without consulting me first XD
