For people who like a twist, here it is. ^_^
Although the perspective is way off in panel 2, making Yuki look like an Amazon, I'm really happy with how she turned out. I love to draw Yuki's legs. I think this page shows her build well. She's not a scrawny person. ;-) This is the last page of this chapter, btw. The next chapter takes place on the same day, so it's a continuation of sorts – but no bank robbers.
I'm in a good mood at the moment. My sister is finally feeling comfortable enough to actually leave her apartment in Tokyo. (She said it was really beautiful the other day when it snowed.) I'm getting some applications out there for decent jobs (ones that acknowledge and use my degree!) and I finally got in contact with my graduate mentor about the paper I'm working on. I have to manage my time and efforts right now, so I haven't actually drawn any new pages of UB in about a week. (Don't fear. I still have loads of “buffer.” ;-) ) It feels really good to be busy and productive.
n_y_japlander: Not a good ending for Evan… Unless he likes Yuki sitting on him.
LanceDanger: Lucky for the robbers, they are in the hands of the law rather than Kaida. XD
Peipei: Glad I'm not the only one who struggles. I guess action is hard because no matter what, they are unmoving images. lol
Locoma: Kylie is a dynamic character, even if she is just a minor one. I had a lot of fun with her design. I wish I had an excuse to draw her more often.
amanda: Yes, that is a common theme, one of the big ones. There are very few clearcut “sides” here.
dueeast: Kaida is pretty perturbed to have her store disturbed like this. Attempting to contain Yuki was the true fatal mistake. (That girl cannot be held.)
trevoramueller: Serious wounds (and a little murder and mayhem) are important elements to my stories. Heh heh
JustNoPoint: I'm with you there… I have more time than money right now, but I hope to change that soon. I'll probably switch to weekday updates in the future (after I hit my one year mark).

Ah those misunderstood robbers. Why do I feel the line "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!" would fit this page? =p

If serious wounds, murder and mayhem are important elements to your stories, make sure I don't make a guest appearance please. I like my body non-seriously wounded, and prefer not to be murdered or mayhemed (yes that's a word...now....). ;) Seriously though, great stuff!

Panel 2 made me laugh and scare my roommate's cats. Good luck with those job prospects - it's surprising and somewhat distressing that degreed people are having any sort of trouble finding relevant jobs - that's not what we were raised to think. In an unrelated note, I hope Kylie gets out of jail for...good behavior or something. She's fun.

Phew! I'm glad everyone is safe ^^ And it looks like Evan has a good chance of pulling through and surviving his wound :3 Gratz to your sister also :)

Poor Kylie =( Snow! It's been so long since I've seen snow lol XD Good luck with the job search =D

I'm very happy for your sis! and I hope your job search goes well!!! The snow was a nice change, but Tokyo snow is not good... it is heavy and very wet. After it stops snowin' it turns to ice... I wish it would snow the nice snow like it does up north... Nice page! Yuki came out lookin' good! Like the style you explained to me before! Good job Vic!! (^O^)
