Ch22, p17
It’s Clove and Botan enjoying the local winter market! I don’t post inks/in-progess pages very often, but this is one of those times. This page ended up being rather dense, so colors will be added in by end of the week. New page will post in the new year on January 2nd!
UPDATE: Whew! Here’s the colors! This page was a biggie to set up, but I really love how it turned out!
Hey it’s fine Gina. This is one of the busiest times of the year, especially if you got kids so it’s all good! Looking forward to the finished product though.
I wonder if Clove is thinking about Abeille because wasn’t he there at the Cafeteria incident? Lol, I having to keep going to check back in previous chapters since it’s been so long since those incidents happened.
I always enjoy seeing inked pages as it provides a glimpse into how things are made 🙂
I’m not certain that he’s thinking about Abeille. They were coworkers. Almost the earliest of buds. A dear friend, for certain.
There’s an unofficial wiki, with many gaps that fans could help with https://lovenotfound-fans.fandom.com/wiki/Clove_x_Botan and https://lovenotfound-fans.fandom.com/wiki/Lunch_ladies
I honestly thought it was a design choice. Like Clove is so out of it, in his own head about something, that everything is sort of faded.
At the least, he recognizes the slight of hand, from when Botan’s sister suggested a delightful gift: https://lovenotfound.com/comic/ch16-p20/
But, that wouldn’t be Clove’s concern. Then again, he’s doing everything he can, to impress me. This can’t be real.
This looks lovely and lively. It was worth the wait.
I like the Miel and Abielle cameo.
Is that a Red String cameo in bottom left? Looks like Fuuko and Hanae a little 😉
I like how you’ve added in Miel and Abeille – it helps interweave the stories and makes it a little clearer what’s happening when, and around whom.
Thanks! I’m glad you’re digging the weaving of the chapters! This Abeille x Miel appearance sets this scene around the time of Ch21, p12 (you can see Abeille carrying the drink cup as they walk across the bridge).
Also, now that you mention it, the one girl does resemble Fuuko a bit!
Ah, thanks for the linkie. I was going to say, “Listen, Ivy & Holly have had a chance to go home & change & go out to a friend’s house, why couldn’t Miel & Abeille get changed out of their Eyebright gear?”
I’ve spent days looking for Waldo and still no luck. Just a couple of striped shirts, but no hats. 😀
Great page.
