Rain and Aunt Fara bicker. Hilarity ensues. I can already tell you these are going to be some of my favorite pages to do. ^_^

I hope no one minds the jumpy flow of time. The story may be set in a high school, but I’m just going to bore the snot out of everyone if I waste time showing every class. You’ll get to see more classes and teachers in time when you need to.

Also, Aunt Fara is still at the school because she’s a teacher. An art teacher to be exact. Apparently, fourth period is an off period for her if she’s just sitting around on the internets though.

And finally, yes, Aunt Fara was browsing my DeviantArt page, because I don’t know the meaning of shame.

I stumbled upon your comic and find it very amusing so far. This boy is quickly learning that a girl's life is not as easy as he might have thought. I add to interactive stories along these lines on Writing.com. If your interested, let me know, I'll send you a link.

That seems really awesome and unrealistic for a trans-girl, but I guess characters from comics are supposed to look cute. Or maybe I just don't get out enough. x.x

I love the left-eye thing. It's like an unintentional recurring theme. ^ ^

I don't blame you about throwing in your DeviantArt page.

I also am a shameless self promoter.

Forgot about this in the last comment, so yeah. I wouldnt worry to much about the background. Even McCloud and Fred Gallagher claim that the background has to convey information. Like in page 4 Rain was doing a lot of things before getting ready in the morning (shower, feed puddles, get dressed) so we needed a background to know what she is doing. This page and th page before, we know where the characters are and since the characters arent interacting with anything in the background it can be forgiven. Though you shouldnt be lazy either.

As for this page, i can understand her upset. Everyone thinks people of this condition ask for this. Little do people know that its more about being yourself rather than look for a love interest. And for someone as young as rain she would feel like everything is going so fast. But its no different than kids that skip grades.

Let me put it this way. Because kids can skip grades doesnt mean they should. There classmates have physically and emotionally matured at the same time so they kind of can handle themselves in public. So if you apply that to rain, everything that has been learned over many years need to be learned in only a couple of hours. It really is a sad thing especially when she has a secret to keep.

As a creator. be thankful for a webcomic, in japan it won't be as easy. If you think about 16-60 pages in a shonen manga submitted every week really is an intimidating thing though you love to draw. Not long when you think about inking, toning, coloring, shading, etc. Trust me that I wish that you submitted more pages. I know this is your current level, and to sacrifice storytelling for more pages a week really isn't worth it. Again, glad I can be excited for yor story to come to life.

Yeah, that's basically my philosophy on backgrounds. I'll use it if it's necessary to establish where the scene is or interact with. Otherwise, they're not my strongpoint, and will slow me down. It borders on lazy at times, but I think I'm still generally in a safe zone, so to speak.

As for her freaking out, well, you're right. This is extremely overwhelming. I said this to one of the other commenters already but it's basically irrelevant whether or not Rain is legitimately interested in any of the people flirting with her; she's just not used to this kind of attention.

I wish I could submit more pages too (especially since I'm nearly thirty pages beyond what's posted and am on a completely different story arc now), but posting like this DOES have it's advantages. For instance, I recently squeezed an extra two pages in the middle of things I'd already written in order to make later scenes work better (a luxury I would not have if I had to go from piece to piece). Plus, in the event that I get sick or injured, I don't have to rush to post something (incidentally, I have a cut on my finger, impairing my ability to draw for the time being).
