After all that, Seiko is stuck walking (or attempting to hitchhike). I liked planning the scenery for the first panel. I wanted to make it feel very empty/forgotten, so it's a small gravel road with a weathered campsite sign (and even camping is 5 miles away). I've seen a lot of places like this one when I was growing up.
ghostrunner: Don't want its contents getting wet after all that.
n_y_japlander: Fudo hasn't discovered too many practical uses for his talents. XD
LanceDanger: Thanks. I like that one a lot.
Locoma: In my original draft, Seiko told Kaida she was dropping off some things for charity. Though my script changed, taking a box of stuff *somewhere* is less suspicious than taking a backpack and returning without it. – The tree said “Kaida + Fudo 4 Ever,” but the “Kaida” was scratched out.
Tantz: Deep down, she was a little disappointed that he *wasn't* there, which is why she was slow to leave.
Molly: Thanks. ^_^ He may not be as grateful as one would think.
Peipei: Seems pretty doubtful at this point, but you never know. They used to be very close, after all.
amanda: Hee hee. It used to say Kaida + Fudo. ;-) I like Fudo's house. It's fun to draw and a contrast to all the city places.
trevor: My original brainstorming pages have huge lists/paragraphs for Kaida and Yuki but very little about Seiko, so I got to know her through the story. I feel like she created herself, in a way. ;-)
JustNoPoint: 'Tis an old carving. It used to say “Kaida + Fudo 4 Ever.” (Only one part of that particular homage needed to be violently scratched out. Lol)

NOOOOOOU! :( (yeah, the box would be less suspicious alright) despite the scene, I love the size you drew Seiko, the drawing looks great

Uh oh... No one travels the road? No cell phone? Achoo? This could get serious and fast!!! Hopefully Fudo will take care of her the way she took him in when he needed it.

Awww poor Seiko. In the last panel I REALLY wanted to give her a hug. Teehee, join us on the dark side, Seiko. We have fizzy cola bottles

I like Seiko's Facial expressions in this page

I love it when a character creates themself. It feels very natural and right. Hopefully she won't come down with a cold, since she left her umbrella behind....

('_') If I have to guess, something not to good is going to happen to her... Fudo will bring her back to the shack... make her write a novel, and smash her ankles, just to keep her there... and Kathy Bates will come and save her! (^O^) now that I just let the cat out of the bag.... sorry!

Aaah! Poor Seiko! How she still manages to be nice to people is beyond me.

From that last expression, I think rest just got postponed. XD
Peipei at 1:01AM, March 19, 2008
Poor Seiko :( I really think she should be heading back about now...She's caught a cold and its pouring like mad out there

You have these moments in some of your panels. I've been picking up on them - you leave to the imagination what a person must be thinking or feeling when they're "silent". Kind of like that last panel. Its a nice touch, really! Almost like a signature in the way you as a writer/artist tells a story.

Oh, my, it suddenly doen't look like it was too good of an idea to go after all =0
