Drawn August 15th, 2002

You know, I should be very grateful that at one point or another I looked at these pages and thought, "Wow... that's crap. I can do better than this." Because as much work as the final page I went with needed, this... this ain't good. Around the time I drew this early page I had only just come up with some sort of manga style but never really practiced it all that much. It really shows. ^^;

The new version I went with was so much better than this. One thing that baffles me is why I drew Ryuichi like that on this page. After I did I kept thinking, "Why is he staring at a flower?! And he looks so intense doing it!" That alone was reason enough to redo this page.
