Panel 2: A pretty solid shot of Ninjette, here, even though the now-faded twin riffs of cartoonishly big head and too-short, truncated feet are in full effect in the image. (These whimsical stylistic flourishes have, for the most part, disappeared from my modern-day work. This might've been triggered by my subsequent life drawing, or just yet another gradual shift in my artistic preferences.)

Panel 5: And oops, there's another quick flashback! Guess I was wrong when I said these were gone by this point in the book.

Panel 6: Don't think it's a SPOILER to say that this is an expression you do not want to see on the face of Kozue Kaburagi.

Today’s Patreon update: Open slot in the weekly schedule today! Not sure what I’ll be posting, but something will go up today. I’ve been posting every weekday (sometimes multiple times per day) on this Patreon for over a year, so why stop now?
