Yet another reference to Di Gi Charat with the eye beam. Yashy was singing “White Flag” by Dido in panel two.

And such comes Lucy’s unheard of lovely singing. I guess this could be a bit of a selfish placement on my part.. I don’t want to be a famous singer, but for a long time, I used to dream of atleast having a pretty voice when I sing.. so that when I’m humming to myself, I don’t feel embarrassed that others might listen. I would never seek a career with it.. but yeah. Lucy, on the other hand, has a great singing voice.. and that’s why Mike is stopped cold by her. She continues singing in the end.. and Blur finally returns after a page of being absent from the kick!

For those curious, Lucy sings “Cool” by Gwen Stefani at first.. which is an utterly fitting song in her defense.. but the song she sings in the final panel is even more fitting. It’s so fitting with Lucy’s personality, that I’ve joked on occasion that the song is almost like a theme song to Lucy in terms of the topic on love. For those wondering, the song is “Si Yo Me Vuelvo A Enamorar” by Miriam Hernandez.. atleast the version I have. It’s also done by Jennifer Pena. Seek translations for it.. or just read it if you know Spanish.. you’ll realize how painfully fitting it is to Lucy!

Mike’s hand on the sixteenth panel looks dislocated. I made it too blobby. *Kicked*

Agreed, that last song fits her quite painfully….

I think Lucy looks simply adorable in panel 10. Awww, I won’t to hug her and hold her close to me but she’ll probably get violent if I’d do it.

Apparently she’s saying I prefer to be alone, to be mistaken once again. But that’s from a bad translator, so would some one Spanish please correct me??

@ Alex: I only found a sloppy translation, too. Your translation seems as likely to me as this one: “I prefer to stay single, rather than putting myself through that mistake again.” The rest of the song, as context, talks about a painful past experience and a subsequent vow to only become “enamored” by the words of the soul, not the mouth.
However, that’s assuming the internet translator and my summary are both correct … quite a long shot.

Agreed, Taeshi. Lucy’s choice of song is eerily fitting. I respect her so much more now.
(long comment is long. Sorry!)

Anyone else think that Paulo beating the hell out of Mike with a baseball bat and a team of angry Juniors is just a little unfair and one-sided?

“I’d prefer to be alone, rather than make a mistake again”, or something like that.
Again, I love spanish in non-spanish comics (lol that weird sentence)

Can someone tell me where I can find an English translation of “Si Yo Me Vuelvo A Enamorar”? I can’t really find any translation, and I would appreciate it if someone who found it could show me.

Prefiero estar sola a equivocarme una vez más…
(I’d rather be alone to be wrong again …)

Aww…poor Lucy. That’s kinda sad…

Even if you are deaf in one ear, you can still hear it through the other side. Sound doesn’t just travel in one linear direction. Shouldn’t Lucy be able to hear Yashy?

Oh well, I’m over thinking things. Still, great song comic fic thing. :)

Not completely sure but from what i saw it translates to: I prefer to be alone, rather than to make a mistake again

you know how you didn’t want to overdo that english teacher joke?

yeah… you’re overdoing that “cheater” thing, big time… it wasnt funny the first time, let alone the second and third time.

as i mentioned on the last page, even having one deaf ear, lucy should still be able to hear something if someone is on her deaf side, sound travels in all directions, it isn’t a beam moving in a single direction.

i do hope paulo gets neutered at some point in this comic.

Siempre es agradable ver un poco de español mesclado en la historia.

And yes, it’s pretty fitting.
