I haven't attempted advertising in a very long while, so I figured it was about time to try again.

"Emma" is a slice of life comic with a (waning) manga influence which centers around a young violinist who is at a number of crossroads in her life. She obviously loves to play music, but doesn't seem to be doing much with it. Her parents died somewhat recently and she isn't dealing with it very well, and she doesn't really have anyone to talk to about any of it....except her cat...

The story also follows Theo, who owns a struggling restaurant and appears generally...frustrated. We don't know much about him as of yet aside from that and the fact the he and Emma don't exactly get along.

There is, of course, an additional revolving cast of family members, friends, exes, etc. which is still growing.

The comic is at about 130 pages right now (nearing the end of the 6th chapter), and I like to think it has improved (especially in terms of art) since the beginning. Feel free to leave any constructive criticism you have to offer, as I am always looking to improve. My only warnings are mild and occasional swearing and the fact that the story moves rather slowly.

I really love the artistic style of 'Emma', sometimes the colouring has been a bit off in the past, but you seem to have righted it now. Haha, of course, me saying I like it is kind of silly, because my style is not totally dissimilar, so it's hardly all that surprising! ^_^'
My favourite aspect of the comic is Emma herself though. She's just totally believable, not a perfect Mary Sue , but capable and good at what she does. The slow pace of the comic and how it spends plenty of time on the characters really appeals to me too.

Thanks for the input! It's always nice to know the good things.
I'd have to agree about our styles being similar- I'd actually noticed that a few times before, I think.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to give me some feedback!
