After her initial anger, Seiko is quick to resort to begging/reasoning. (She hasn't figured out that you can't always talk people out of things.) Jerry is a bully. He cannot honestly believe Seiko is the single cause of all his grief, but she makes an easy and convenient target. He is spineless and wouldn't dare go up against Kaida or Yuki. (BTW, I'm trying a new shading technique for “night” scenes. Expect more of the same for a few pages.)
Gonna break up this intense page with some fun news. I finally gained enough coloring confidence (thanks, everyone :) ) and have enough characters to start a project I have been mulling over for many months. It is the Used Books cast in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
n_y_japlander: The tickets aren't for this same day, and we don't know if Fudo knows about Jerry or the jailbreak. But times like this do call for a few should haves. (Should have called a cab…)
Peipei: It's just not Seiko's day. :( It would've been better if one of her “boyfriends” had walked her home. Jerry just isn't a nice guy.

aaah now I understand what you have said about the size of the image, it's hard to adjust the quality when using fine gradients, they break apart so easily. Man it looks great! I have to stop worrying about Seiko and focus in the story... but I can't! :(

I think the shading looks awesome, I have to agree...I appreciated your first attempt at a "Night" scene, but this looks loads better. Poor Seiko...She just can't win for loosin'. 'Can't wait to see how she'll get out of this one...Or who will stumble into whats' goin' on and help out. OH THE TENSION!

Wow I love the layout of the site. I also love the dialogue in the comic. Well done. Although I do like the colored pages a bit more. Gives this comic in particular more depth.

I only hope that this situation does not have any "should have's" when it's done!!! Like, " man I should have kneed that guy in the b@lls...."
