Ahhhhhh....
Mama-sama is so detailed!
The anatomy is almost perfect, something about the heads seems a bit off though but everything else seems really good.
This must have taken you a good amount of time.

omg omg omg omg!! BotI!! My husband and I were catching up on the last few chapters and OMG, I'm in suspense!!! We can't wait for the next chapters to be translated, but it feels like it's taking forrrreverrrrrr!!! The last one we read is chapter 131, and they apparently won't be making the chapters seperate anymore, so we have to wait till all the chapters are done and then they put it in graphic novel form, which means it's gonna take longerrrrr ;_;
Oh, here!! Read up to 131! [link]
lol, now as for the picture now that I got so thoroughly off critiquing... I like how the stippling is mixed with regular lines and all. Helps seperate their clothes from each other, cause it could get very messy. I have to say though, that I agree with the noses being not right and fitting with the rest of the picture. That was the first thing that stood out as far as that goes. Then I noticed her feet. *Her* right ankle seems a bit too fat, or something, cause it melds into her foot and has very little definition between both parts. Plus that particular foot looks a bit flat, so that's not helping. I think she needs more of her heel showing, since the direction of her leg is going that way. As for her other foot, it looks like just in the middle there she's wearing socks, yet you can see her toes clearly, so she's obviously not. So perhaps there's too many lines there, making her foot look like fabric. I have to say though, I like everything else, and those were the only things bugging me about it. I like the picture you chose to do ^_^

I'm sorry that I cannot add any sort of advanced critique, but I really do like the picture - the whole feeling of the series seems to be brought through thru the use of all the lines and the starkness of them.
The only thing, to my eye, that seems off are the noses - I know it's an anime style, but it still feels a little weird to me, with the rest of the style... but, that is just me

Well it is a very sketchy style so I tried to do it justice ~ And its how the artist does em XD! I was more going towards his than me own style x3~ Thank you very much ^0^

Oh awesome - you know, I think I need to take a look for this, then - it's a really cool and different style, to say the least! Grand job, too

The way you've used black and white to create tone is really nice 
Also, you might want to try less definition with areas like the nose and hands - when you're trying to show a big image, all the little details don't need to be so clearly defined, espeically when you've got such good tones to compensate. For instance, drawing nails so clearly on hands isn't really adding to your picture here. Also, for the man's nose, since he has a scar, drawing just the outline of the scar in black, but leaving four gaps where the lines of the nose are now, and some tone at the bottom of the nose, will still intimate that he has a nose quite clearly, but be less cluttered than it is now... unless it's a stylistic thing?

Its an old image I did years ago in high school. ^_(\ We were just playing around with stippling and crosshatching and I went over board, and some of the detail was that way in the drawing i was basically redoing. Thank you very much for the very detailed advice though ^_^~
