Final part of Valentine Special: Unrequited Love~





And the final part of the valentine special: unrequited love.

Title: Fuyu no Kiseki (Translated: Winter Miracle)

Artist's notes:
[PART 4/FINAL PART]
Couldn't finish this part in 1 page but considering it is the final or the concluding part, more pages are needed to end it all and well, this part allows me try out different stuff such as the kissing scene and the future part of the girl talking to her son about both her and the guy's love story.(not sure whether it should be a son or a daughter they have and asked my younger sibling to help me choose but I'm glad she chose male since it was interesting to draw a guy with the short version of the girl's hairstyle!)
I am no expert at romance; rather I suck at it since I've never experienced it before but only through reading stories and watching drama shows to get a feel of it. The love letters of the guy and the girl may be awkward(I really have no idea how to write) and the kissing scene... I'm really not sure how a guy/girl initialed a kiss or what reply to give. I had a hard time thinking up the dialogue to be honest; the manga was long done last week but b'cos of the incomplete dialogue, it was considered as incomplete...Sigh... 
[OVERALL]
To be honest, I could have just left the story as the guy having an unrequited love for the girl after seeing the girl being happy with another guy. However, not sure why I feel bad for the guy and also like to try making a manga with chapters/parts focusing on different perspectives of each character in the story! And thus, that's how parts 2 and 3 come about. Again, I can end the manga at part 3 with an ending that is open for many to think the way they like but I suppose I like to see a happy ending instead. So, part 4 is made to conclude the whole story or gives the story a slight happy ending(?) if you do support either the guy or the girl...
As for the guy who confessed but realised his love is unrequited in part 3... Well, I thought of making a part exclusive for him but then... It will be like a mindless(?) adding of a new female character for him to fall in love with... I may consider thinking how to give him a happy ending as well(though right now I do have an idea; just not sure if it fits well...)
Talking about the possible sequel of this manga, I'm thinking of whether to make more of such short manga parts when I am free.-It's kinda fun though I've to see my workload...
Truthfully, this manga all started with the dejected guy I drew while bored until I started think of why the guy is dejected and then, a story is formed(part 1). Thought of making different perspectives(parts 2 and 3) and then made the last part to conclude everything. Before I knew it, it turned into one romance manga when I really have no experience in such thing yet able to write/draw one out...

Music listened while making the manga:
[It's the right time] by Daichi Miura(Ending song of Parastyle)
>Great touching song that fit in the mood especially when doing parts 3 and 4



  Character design:

Hope all enjoyed this short manga!-I'll be uploading on DA and Pixiv after scanning them for better quality!(Though I've already uploaded them on my instagram) This is Will signing off, ja ne~

Happy Birthday, Chihaya Kisaragi~25/2/2015


Otanjobi omedetou, Kisaragi Chihaya! TBH, I didn't know it was her birthday until ppl in idolm@ster FB grp started posting her pictures and after checking her profile... Yup, it's her birthday today! Chihaya was the first idol I love from Idolm@ster and also the one who made me interested in Idolm@ster. But to be more exact, it was Promise song she sang that drew me to her.-It was a really touching song that I almost cry when she finally was able to sing(In episode 20) even though I haven't even watch the anime; let alone the episode. Currently, I love Promise and Sleeping princess that were sang by her-both are equally touching songs that only her voice actor, Imai Asami,could be able sing out!
The fanart was a rushed piece since I only found out on her birthday. The art's based on her in ep20(as seen from the screenshot above)
Once again, happy birthday, Chihaya!

Chinese New Year 2015~ Valentine Special: Unrequited Love Parts 2 & 3...



It is the time of the year for chinese ppl(and of course me included) to celebrate a new year. Had reunion dinner in the form of steamboat with my family members and relatives on Chinese New Year Eve which was yesterday. And also played board game, Cluedo with my cousins and siblings. 
And then, today which is day 1 of CNY, went visiting to other relatives' houses. Got quite a number of red packets:

In the past, CNY is great since there's no school but now... Missing school means loss of lecture and tutorial, and that sucks since there will be make-ups...  In addition, no school doesn't equal to free time and thus, the part I'm supposed to do for presentation 1 of my business module does not have much progress...(got to do it during the weekends...) Also, I've yet to finish my physics tutorial for next wk since there's the need to look at recordings of lectures I missed due to CNY. Then, there's the self katakana practice to do and get familiar with katakana as well.(Sigh...So much work to do...) 

Adding on, not just the pain of losing lectures and tutorials due to CNY, I also had to set aside one of my weekends to go shopping for clothes to wear during this festival... And I suppose I am not used to spending whole day shopping that it gave me a headache after coming back home... I think I need to buy CNY clothes earlier(maybe during my one month break in December) so that I need not worry when CNY is around the corner and during my semester study...

To add onto the load I've at hands, there's the En and Jap SIF events;


En Maki token event is currently carrying on while Jap Nozomi Scorematch will start tmr... Ugh, damm my life... 

Aside from all these gloomy stuff, I've decided to continue my mini manga, Unrequited Love; made for Valentine Day.
Part 2; Please Notice me,  せんぱい~ ( せんぱい means senpai)
Part 2 is on the girl's perspective and well, you can see the love isn't all that unrequited. FYI: I was working on this manga with a headache; the words used and sentence structure may be a little awkward...)


And then, part 3, "I'm not the one you like..."(Did this until 3am...-.- Freaking tired right now) This part is on the guy who confessed and well, you would now(after reading) know who's the one with the unrequited love... 
This is my first time making an manga, using Japanese words.(Grammar may be wrong...) Translation for those who can't read Japanese:
Panel 1-3: Boku wa Anata ga suki desu.- I like you
Panel 4  : De Mo...-But...
Panel 5-6: Anata ga suki no hito wa-The one you like-
Panel 7-9: Boku Janai- Is not me...

With that, left one final one to wrap up everything!(Likely to finish either this week or next week)-Please Look Forward to it! For this short manga, I am thinking of doing a mini story write-up for better understanding.-Again depends on my work load...
I think I will upload all parts of the manga in Pixiv and DA when I'm done with the final part!

And so, that's about it and (this may be a little late), Happy Chinese New Year to all Chinese ppl! This is Will signing off, ja ne~

Valentine Day Special: Unrequited Love~


A random idea; it started with me drawing the dejected guy at the first panel(while bored during lecture...) and then it followed with y the guy is dejected, thus forming the first panel. After that, (since I drew this like last week) I thought of Valentine Day's coming and make it into a romance manga but a sad one(I suppose?)-Don't know how my lecturer will react if he knows I did a manga on the lecture notes... (FYI: I did this manga with a headache so the words used may be a bit awkward or don't flow well; can't think properly)
Before u think this happened to me before or anything, I can firmly say this: THIS IS JUST A RANDOM IDEA! I just simply wanted to try making such a scene where if you realise you r not the one able to bring happiness to the one u loved, will you give up or continue trying? In this part, obviously the guy gave up and in a way, if I met such a situation, I too will give up... B'cos loving the other person means seeing the person happy and instead me but another person who could play that role, then I will gladly give up. Well, that's easy to say since I've never been in love before so no idea if I really will act that way...
Regarding this manga, I was thinking of making sub chapters like the perspectives of the girl and the guy who could make her smile. If I do, the whole story may not be what it seems and that's the power of perspectives sometimes~ May or may not do, depending on my work load...

Hope all like the manga~(and also don't be saddened by it *8*)

And with that, Happy Valentine Day! Here's a rose for ya~

Rose bought to help raise funds for Overseas Community Involvement Programme(OCIP)-Don't think I bought it cos no one gave me one(though it is true that no one gave me one...T^T #foreversingle)

Cold mornings and nights~Dengki G's magazine march issue(Honoka figurine)&SIF updates~

Right now, my workload is slightly better; in the sense that I don't have to rush my assignment much and can do at my own pace. And with the yesterday quiz done, for now I've no tests until after my 1 week break in the first week of march.-After that week, March will be a horror for me with 2 presentation to do and 2 tests to take.(-.-;) In a way, before I can turn 20, I need to go through all these ordeals...Sigh~

Oh yeah, recently the weather has been quite cold in the morning and at night.


-Which is quite weird, considering that I stayed in Singapore, one that has no 4 seasons and is usually quite hot... Every morning I woke up for school, I always wished I could stay in my warm bed but sadly, got to be disciplined and with strong willpower, got up to prepare the day even though I'm like half-dead most of the time...

Okay some stuff to share:



I bought Dengki G's magazine on Monday for the Honoka little figurine. Realised while my fave's Umi, I have none of my second fave, Honoka...(-_-'') It was a great addition to my figurine collection and next one to come is my fave and just so happen is in her(and also my^8^) birthday month; Umi dah!- Another motivation for me to survive through the ordeals!(Fight dayo, Will!)  

The contents of the magazine is great as well since I actually could see these:



Sonoko joining the group! And even better is Togo's new hairstyle or should I say her old hairstyle when she was Washio.-She looks so much more mature and handsome  pretty! And so is Sonoka wih longer hair. Glad to see Yuna in high spirit as well!(She looks nice with her hair down!)
About this chapter, it is something like an aftermath story, focusing more on Sonoko. You can read the english translated version here:http://pastebin.com/rKp6rzfF
To add on, this chapter confirmed that Togo gained back her memories; remembering Sonoko and of course their fallen friend, Gin.(Sad that she can't be back T^T)
The chapter is like a touch-up but I felt it is showing some foreshadowing, especially when Sonoko can't help but feel something off of Yuna(Really hope it is nothing bad; going to keep it as a happy ending until the sequel comes out in a month's time?)

Updates on SIF:
Finally gotten her!
So for EN, I'm done with the event and now with 4x hard and expert modes available for Jap Honoka token event, I'm like a few more pts to her(most likely getting her ltr!) before finally able to rest until the next event. With school work to do, I'm more than glad I was able to get the event cards for both my EN and Jap so doubt I am going to continue to stay in ranks; only playing when I've the time to...

That's about it then. It's nice to blog once a while and with that, this is Will signing off, ja ne~
