The toned version! The original page was soooo white but I think it looks better with the additional window, etc.

Not to be a smart-ass but didn't most people in japan have transitioned to smart-phones ? And is it tradition to hold the phone aloft when pressing send?
I like this page because of the funny questions and the puzzled look, hand seem well drawn except for the thumb on the 2nd shot that seems oddly squishy.

Nope, not yet. People only JUST started to make the transition last year, but a lot of people still use flip phones. I do, and so does my husband and half the people I work with. And actually, later on in the story Morita sees that Koga has a smart phone and he comments that he has an older model. His phone is a model from like 2009, so that was intentional. Yukina's phone is based on a model from early 2011.
Part of the problem is, I came up with this story in early 2011 when smart phones were more or less brand new and only the android and iPhones were available. Now there are a ton of new models from different companies, but a lot of people haven't changed phones because it's expensive to change phones, and phone companies still sell flip phone models.
He holds it out because it's a little more interesting than him just saying "send". And sometimes fingers look a bit squishy because though it looks big here, it's a VERY small thing to draw on paper and it's hard to control the pen that small. Hard for me, at least. I don't know how pro mangaka do it. Maybe I should invest in a magnifying glass.

Yes pixel painting with a microscope can be interesting for sure haha
Don't Mangaka use a copier machine to scale drawings? I think Bakuman mentioned this once when the Supervising assistant chief came in and started bossing them around about arranging their workplace
Quote from a page I found on google:
" Nowadays, all you have to do is to get your hands on the nearest copier, enter the appropriate enlargement/reduction ratio, and press the Copy button."
Or you can just scan and edit the scale on the computer?

None of the guys I worked for did, but I've certainly heard of that. But without a properly sized copy machine on hand, it's more trouble than it's worth. I really think I might just try to find a good magnifying glass, heh.

I have an all in one Scanner-Printer (something like this :[link] ), so +GIMP/Photoshop it can also Scale the image, but yeah a magnifying glass is much cheaper if it works.

I really like the Inking in the last panel, especially the hair. <3

I used maru pens on the 6th page as well, but that was a different brand and type. I like maru pens more than G pens, but the pens I used on 6 were badddd. Very hard and needed to be refilled every two seconds. This page I did with a different brand and softer nibs, and the lines went on very smoothly. I also changed ink, but I'm not sure if that had an effect or not.

ink is so much more important to the function than i gave it credit for, myself, lol. may i ask what brand you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use a brand written as 開明 which I assume reads "Kaimei", but I also sometimes use the ink by Pilot. I used it on the previous pages, but it bled a little. Kaimei might be my favorite on this paper I use (SMTrading) but it doesn't dry as fast as other brands. But thanks to that, it doesn't bleed much because it seems less absorbent.
Some brands are awful and only work on the paper their maker puts out. Screen tone is that way, too. I will never again buy Animate tone, because on more than one occasion it has completely mortified me in front of editors. It loses it's stick after a while and will just slide off the paper, and it did that in front of two editors, in large chunks. I didn't get the job for one place because they thought I was incompetent.
Aand I sort of went off on something else there, haha.

Goodness! First, I've never heard of animate tone, but if I come across it I'll steer clear! Yikes, that sounds horrible! I have used Deleter tones, and find sometimes I still need to glue edges. I prefer to use the computer with Comicworks, I bought eons ago, but always wondered how you submit finished manuscripts to editors or contests if your tones are on the pc? Lol Do you ever tone on the computer or do you prefer doing it with your hands?

A few years ago when I had an editor at Shounen Magazine I did try to tone by computer since he gave me an impossible deadline to do by hand, and it looked badddd. I don't know if you ever read my Samurai Rodeo story (it's in my scraps) but it was a real mess because I drew it all on the computer on a program I wasn't familiar with. Tones were digital, too. I did a few other smaller comics that are in my comics folder in my gallery-- not very good. I prefer traditional, but it's expensive and for this comic I might actually do it digitally, since I'm now better at inking digitally and I wanted to make some corrections in Photoshop anyway. Might as well give digital tone a go again.

Yeah, it's not finished. i addressed that in my comment

Looks great! And boy, does he have skinny arms in the second panel! Goodness!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been trying to draw skinnier, but it's hard since I like muscles and meat. Buuut skinny is popular...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Skinny is popular but it does make him look very cartoony. Not sure if that's your intent there. But then, his fingers are basically toothpicks too.
