Artist's Comments

Reika, Miki's aggressive rival for Hiro's affections, was a fun character for me to create. I wanted her to come across at first as a stereotypical 'bad girl', then gradually show that she had a legitimate point of view and was more than just a snarling villian. By the third book ("Autumn") she is, I hope, capable of surprising the reader with her actions.

If you'd like to see Reika in action, make sure you check out my Miki Falls preview, which features her prominently:

I could tell from the start that she was supposed to come across as a bad girl - it's in her appearance and speech pattern. I feel like it becomes clear even in Summer, though, that she's just being defensive.

I love the ink and watercolor image over the sketched background. Actually, the cross-hatching in the background is a refreshing change from the solid line-work in the manga! The detail is all still there, but I feel like it has more...character? That is totally not the right word, but there's something about it that emanates an aura of...something I can't quite put my finger on.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is really nice!!

Sorry, I don't comment much anymore, but this has always been one of my favorite characters, just because I really like how you draw her.

This is the best kind of person to talk to: someone who is willing to take an honest look at the evidence. Being willing is essential. Evidence cannot convince the unwilling.

Cool. She looks like some one you wouldn't want to meet on a day she got off the wrong side of the bed.

Can a human being fly like a humming bird if they consume enough candy, frappucinos, and white chocolate covered espresso beans dipped in powdered sugar? >_>

She looks so aggressive, but cute at the same time :aww:
