Edit 4: April 4th

YAY! Done! I'm a bit scared I might have over-crowded the layout but then again, I've been staring at it for so long that I can't tell anymore. >> I think it's alright. Now that that's done, off to finishing inking the next... I kid you not, 4 pages of my comic! I hope to put them all out within hours of eachother so once one starts rolling out, it shouldn't be long before the next follows. I hope you guys are following that too! After all, this is the story of Shou & Hanako's great (etc.) grandfather! <3

For those of you that don't know, this is Shou's little sister: Hanako.
Shou found here:

Here's Shou Akihara's little sister Hanako-chan!

Age: 13 years old
Height: 5'2"
Hobbies: Shopping , playing videogames with her brother, music (mainly current pop).
Occupation: 1st year of Junior Highschool

Personality: A happy young tween, Hanako is the sociable and upbeat second child in the Akihara family. She can be at the same time sweet but stern, often adapting a "mother-like" way of speaking, especially to her brother and father. She fully supports her brother's musical endeavors, fully believing in him but she is also glad he has the sense to think about his future in teaching. This is Hanako in a nutshell: "A nice, responsible young girl".

Interests: A side from worrying about her older brother on a near constant level, she spends the rest of her time reading fashion magazines & manga, watching TV & listening to music. She has a scrap book with pictures of the famous "Natsumi Toku" her mother's model name. Like many girls her age, she loves romance stories and has a very romantic heart. She invest a lot of her time in finding out what Shou's up to, be it socially or with his girlfriends and often lectures Shou about being less flirty & flighty & making a steady commitment for a change. When she's done nagging, she enjoys the time her and her bro make for eachother by playing videogames together on the occasional week-night (but not too late! Hana loves to sleep her full 8 hours) and is often the victim to her big-bro's over doting & affectionate nature towards her. She often has to push him away in playful fighting.

Weapons: None & has no training in the Tekubi Yaiba Ken Ryu (Wrist Blade Sword Style) but is averagely athletic.

Details: Hanako's looks are a more half and half mixture of her mother and father contrary to Shou, who resembles his mother to a fault. She wears her junior high uniform a lot unless going to see her brother perform at a local club. She has a light crush on Yuta, one of Shou's best friends & band-mates and believes that he is more the model "big-brother type" than Shou. Hanako prefers to be called "Hana" by her friends & tries to make her family adopt the name too but her father & brother refuse. Hanako's mother passed away when she was only 11 and has assumed this maternal role unconsciously in her family. She has 2 ear piercings & adopts various hairstyles though her favorite is the half pig-tail to the side. The "Fly" shirt was a birthday present from her brother.

That's about it!
