I was gone for Thanksgiving and I only have Photoshop on my desktop, so I decided to take the week off. I ate myself to death, but that's par the course. Hope everyone else had a nice Thanksgiving (or weekend if you are not from the USA).

I feel like the mom used her work as a means of escape from reality. She convinced herself that she needed to work more to provide Ri-chan a life where she could do what she wanted. Subconsciously, she was likely avoiding her daughter, who served as a constant reminder of her failures as a...

I think you captured it pretty succinctly.

It's not easy by any means. Almost all of the Chopin etudes, with the exception of one or two, are where you begin to break into virtuoso piano pieces. Op 10. No. 1, Op. 25 No. 6, and Op. 25 No. 11 are some of the most difficult pieces in common repertoire. I say this one is easier because the...

I wish the author had her play something a bit more difficult (really not trying to humble brag, it would take me a while to learn this for sure). Among the etudes, this is one of the easier ones. It's probably one of the five easiest Chopin etudes (Op. 10 No.6, Op. 10 No. 9, Op. 10 No. 12 (this...

Yes. This is right before he moved away for high school. If you read the older chapters, he's not there in any of her high school memories (right before her auditions).

I'm a self taught classical pianist and play a lot of Bach/Liszt/Kapustin, but theory has never really clicked for me. I can play all the scales, know all the 7ths and inversions, but once you start getting into the chord progressions, it all falls apart (it feels so subjective sometimes). A...

I'm getting interviews, they're just not going anywhere, unfortunately. I figure they'll hire more once yearly budget/forecast gets finalized (Jan/Feb). Thanks for the support.

Sorry for the delay. I've been busy (not really) and the redrawing in this whole arc was a massive pain in the ass. I was posting pretty much every day, but burnout + job search stuff caused these to take a bit of extra time. New TFT set came out as well, so that doesn't help either. I'm...

Either Isojima-san is the same height as Victor Wembanyama or black haired girl is like 3 feet tall.

I don't think they directly stated they've been storyboarding everything up to this point like a multi-page manga (although it could be implied). I got more of a sense that the whole thing has been a learning process and they've had to adapt to a single-page approach. This just happened to be a...

This is the business guy Tatsu-nii is selling to. They get along pretty well. He shows up in Ch. 8.5, Ch. 83, Ch. 84 (this ties in the music event), and Ch. 107.5 (outside of event hall). This is just them reminiscing about the past. This is the only chapter it's referenced.

I'm not fucking around anymore

That's not bad. I'll probably update it to that. I haven't been redrawing all the sfx for a few reasons: 1. There's too fucking many of them. 2. Sometimes it looks like shit in English or the onomatopoeia is way too wordy. 3. I'd like to be consistent. Either do all or none (unless there is an...

Thanks!

I was busy with job interviews, so I didn't get a chance to work on these. Every page has needed a ton of redrawing, so I didn't have enough time. Also, I felt like the author was blue balling us pretty badly, so I was going to wait to release them all at once anyways... Edit: it's a double...

Thanks. I've read a lot of manga over the past 6-7 years. I really feel like a good translation can make or break a manga. One of my biggest peeves is when half the manga is horribly translated and the other half is great. It sucks my will to read it, even if it's good. I really take my time...

I walked Bob Dylan up on stage. Who are you?

It's hard to communicate the implication. She doesn't actually say delinquent, she says "poor taste" or "bad character." Typically, dyed hair and piercings are classic playboy characteristics. These types are thought of as fake, uncaring people in Japanese culture. I think she's implying that...

It's interesting. A lot of people seem to dislike the format. I like it a lot, personally. It leaves a lot to interpretation. I feel like the author has gotten a lot better at story telling over the course of writing it as well.
