I gotta say with a lineup of characters that look this excellent that manga of yours is bound to be hit. I like the way you were able to get them all worked in like that. I must say that I am deeply impressed.

:o
is this the manga cover? i can see the title stuck in the middle vertically..
i don't think you ever gave a description of what the story itself was about :3
also, don't overdo it when it comes to character designs, I can see you're writing about a school, but for every character (especially the schoolkids), you should have a biography or a character buildup of some sort, dont just slap on an eyecolor, a hairstyle, and a height and let them roam around your story, that isn't very nice. and and, good luck on your manga! :D

no, not the cover. its just art to show the progression of the story. its probably too busy for a cover, eh?
the thing about import grove is that i didnt just want to make a beat-em-up-high-school manga. all the characters will go through a transition throughout the story. one way to easily convey that is by appearance, so i pimp 'em out :D. for instance, Itsuke is displayed in his most extreme and developed state whereas Kurai is displayed as he is at the beginning of the series. thanks for your opinions!
