Ah, thank you! I always admire people who are able to utilize a minimalist style and express emotion so well. Ono is just so talented, I love reading her works. C:

Natsume Ono is amazing at creating these compelling characters that you absolutely adore and then she just murders you with their terrible lives. xD

Jim's my favorite! But Ian is just so cute that who couldn't love him. <:

totally...Jim is my favorite...hes such a likable character! I felt so bad for Ian...my favorite and most hated part was when he went to see his sisters boyfriend and it turned out to be the pimp guy...um...I also loved the part when Jim saw Ian outside his house...that desperate look on Jim's face let you know he really missed Ian.

It's sooo depressing, but I love it way too much to not keep forcing myself to be depressed by it. xD But thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Ono can just convey so freaking much with so little, it's hard to compare. D:

Always awesome to see other fans, though. Her work is just so bloody good. ;A;

I knowwww! I think the simple looking drawings really made it even more heartbreaking. If it was serious artwork, I probably wouldn't have felt the same way. But those simple drawings just made everyone look so innocent, and for that innocence to be shattered by such horrible things really made it depressing.

Yes...! It wasn't until the second time I read it through as well that I noticed all of Jim's tiny gestures. That panel kills my soul about every time I see it. I just couldn't draw it, for some reason. It never felt right. Maybe that's why Ono hid their faces, I don't know.

But thank you very much! It's always nice to see fans of Natsume Ono's work around - her stuff is far too good to be so obscure.

I also saw mild jealousy in Jim when Ian was talking about that woman he'd met (not sure if her name is mentioned?) I was amused; this book makes me laugh and cry. Whatever the reason, Ono knew what she was doing.

The last, last image of Jim is something that stays in my heart. It's good that more and more people are hearing about her works such as Ristorante Paradiso and Sarai Goryou. Not to mention her yaoi works are also getting popular under her other penname.

YES. I don't care when, just spreading the greatness of this author is all that needs to be done. C:

I know! My style is shifting so much thanks to her - I have no idea what's going to happen with it, really. xD

Doesn't it, though? DOESN'T IT? I swear, if I could do a fanart for every single page of that comic...it wouldn't be enough. <3

I totally agree. I really want to try some, but I don't know if i'll be able to do it justice.

I refuse. /take that

But yessssss Natsume Ono's character designs are full of love and actual manly factors. It's a comforting sight. D:

Speaking of comfortingly manly characteristics, for Sharteeth I just drew a 31 year old great white shark with a hairy chest and arms c:

I am pleased with your dedication, madame. And let me tell you, the antics of the super dorky shark-reef mafia leader are pleasing me greatly at the moment. I think it's the slicked-back hair and all-black three-piece suit.

There are entirely too many hyphens in this post.

Augh I'm so glad SOMEONE has finally found him dorky (and even more glad it's you HOHO). I was beginning to think I was the only one :'I
Then again, I know everything about him.... /wiggly-fingers

But yes, thank you. This style is quite fun. <:
