Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

STOP

extra update time

I wanted to update the comic again one of these weeks because I wanted the chapter to end cleanly on a Friday even though cliffhanger-friday-timing wise some pages are a bit off. Oh well, can’t win them all!

You guys have been fantastic, I’ve really appreciated all the feedback so I wanted to treat you guys to pushing this chapter further! Who knows what went on with Mike, but obviously Lucy’s got a whole hell lot on her mind.

…LUCY IS GETTING EMO AGAIN!!
Asking help of Paulo? SHE MUST BE REALLY DESESPERATE!!! OMG!!!!

Ah, I’m just a bit surprised with Daisy’s meddling and stubborn manner. She caused the mess of the previous 2 pages and even didn’t realise that!

About Mike. Poor thing, honestly…..he just told the truth, Lucy’s personality is not the best one to resolve problems. Specially her obsession by him, annoys any people.

Find another dude, Lucy^^UUUU

I love Paulo. He’s such a flexible character. A jackass when he feels like, a badass when needed, a shoulder to cry on.

Oh Paulo.

Lucy’s going through one of those ‘self realization’ moments isn’t she? Although Paulo looks a little exasperated on that last panel of him.

In contrast to the chapter you remake a bit ago, Mike’s turned into a real jerk.

I hope he gets what’s coming to him a hundred-fold >=/

Yay Paulo! :D I hope he can sort poor Lucy out. Or at least make her feel better.

Extra, extra, read all about it~ Thank you for the pleasant surprise!

I love Paulo’s expression at the end; it immediately reminded me of chapter 45. Lucy coming to Paulo and he knows all about her “high maintenance” (quote, anyone? -fail-) problemo. Wha. I missed their little moments together.

It’s nice to see Lucy at least can put trust in someone other than Mike, but I hope this doesnt mean she’ll simply latch onto Paulo (though it doesnt feel like that’ll be the case yet)

I actually think Daisy is being quite nice, I mean her solution is far from being right but she has all the best intentions and its a good presentation of how her opinions have changed since “Confrontation”

“And though I’ll think of you, I guess, until the day I die,
I think I miss you less and less as every day goes by...”

Sweeny Todd soundtrack is good stuff for this kind of angst. :)

Paulo’s all like:

o_o huh

Then he’s like:

“Well, Crazy just walked in. *sigh* Right, then. Time to play therapist *rolls eyes*.”

if its the qualities that mike shows that makes her want him yet she cant have him then she needs to look for those same qualities in someone she can have

@Austin - she sees now that Paulo is the only choice left, at least in their group. She knows Paulo will help

Also I might know you in real life, last name is thomas
