Description
<-Next ~ Previous->This took me forever... And there are still two more pages to this arc coming! Hopefully I'll have them done before the end of the year.
I upgraded to higher quality inks, and man is the difference huge!
Ok, ok, let me explain. While Akarai is a fanatical believer in the notion that good cheer can overcome most any adversity, he finds Nick to be a very intriguing case. For how little he appears, Nick's personality comes across very strongly. We tend to see him as an extremely timid and easily frightened character, but as we know he is an accomplished athlete (supposedly even a rival of Nestle) and it seems to me that he has a lot of confidence on the track. Just not anywhere else. Now, Akarai is no stranger to "strong armed" tactics, and he know that sometimes a bit of force, if applied under the right circumstances can do wonders.
Also, we welcome back Narashima, the magical bonsai tree that changes shape, size and position between panels! He had a bit of a close call there in the previous page, but he's stable now
And Tabimasu has now become the magical table that changes shape, size, position and HUE between panels! XP
Fifty Hogwarts points to whomever can predict Akarai's reaction to Nick's response in the last panel! XD
Nick belongs to
Akarai belongs to

aaahahah Good one Akarai, Got to say that your comics still look good even the plant changes shape and table does weird. Keep it up.

Oh, ya ain't seen nothing yet ;D

hehe i've seen nothing yet, well now i'm curious to see more!Β
you're welcome, well there needs to me magic in your comics right?
btw I thought Chigau was the japanese word for wrong. Sore wa Chigaimasu is "no that's wrong"

WHOOPS! Fixed it, thanks for picking that up 
I could argue that it was a slip of the key, since i and u are next to each other on the keyboard, but that's not what happened XD
I was specifically thinking of the phrase "zenzen chigaimasu" which means "it's completely different" but essentially means "wrong." So I made the mistake of assuming that "chigai" by itself still means "wrong."
Thanks for that

aaah I see, well I'm very glad I could help you with this, in the end we both learned a bit more Japanese ^_^
Douitashimashite!

I think you've made Nick more cute and adorable than I've ever made him lol. I really love this. It's so hard to explain why. You're gaining so much appeal in your artwork and style and it's really fun to see you progress. And I'm gaining a greater interest in your character here too. As much as these comics are about my characters, I'm learning about yours in the process too.
Also, you're absolutely correct that there isn't much to who Nick is at the moment. He's an athlete for a university (track and field) and is scared by Ryan's antics. But otherwise, not much! If I end up going through with my plans to do more personal art in 2019, I'll definitely do my best to flesh him out more! There's also a story I have in mind that has a male cheetah as the male character. I'm tempted to adapt Nick for that story, in which case, you'd DEFINITELY learn more about him that way.
I'm not sure when my next post will be, but as always I'll be sharing this with everbody when that happens! Thanks again for doing this. This is way too cute and I loooooove seeing these! <3 Nick's expressions in the bottom panels are just so adorable. X3

Aw, I'm glad you think that! For how often I've drawn cats, cheetahs just have something different about them that I struggled to capture at first.
You honour me! Arrogant as this may sound, I actually feel my art has progressed a lot these past two months, and a number of people have noticed this as well, and coming from you as well really puts a smile on my face 
It's odd; on the surface Nick does seem like a relatively unassuming character, the expressions you give him (particularly in past few birthday posts) give me a profound feeling that there's a lot going on under the surface, something I'll expand upon in the next page
Oh, I can't wait to see more of your characters 
Glad you like it!

This looks amazing man! I just find the expressions to be perfect especially Akarai'sΒ expressions in the first and fourth panel, they just give off a perfect sense of uneasiness that just adds to the mood XP
And this like of reminds me of myself when I interrogateΒ my friends about what I just said XP
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanx! :3 I shall confess, I am rather proud of Akarai's expression in the fourth panel XP
My inner English teacher makes me view the whole atmosphere in a literary sort of way: In the first panel we see Akarai nursing and healing his bonsai while asking Nick about himself in a caring way that suggest he wants to help. All of this contributes to the intense irony of when he completely flips around for no (immediately) apparent reason.
Haha, I imagine scissor-negotiations must be quite effective XD

That is great that school never leaves you alone XP
But yes is expression is just perfect in panel 4 X3
π: 0 β©: 0
dang the thought and care that goes into these is really apparent, love the detail of his tying the ribbon in the first panel! It's cool to see the continuity between each post.
Also Akarai sounds like my parents when I'm pickin my major haha
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, well you did make me promise the bonsai would be in the next strip, so Akarai had to perform some first aid XD Thanx!
Oh good grief! My condolances X3

Haha! He sounds like a little kid saying what he likes to do. This is my favorite comic strip by far!

Well, I like to think Nick is a fairly pure and uncomplicated character. Thaaaat... And I honsestly couldn't imagine what else he'd enjoy doing
Thank you so much!

Next time he gets an invite for a tea from Akarai, I'm suspecting he'll be "away for holiday"
Poor Nick 
EDIT: Oh, and also, for some reason I find the way you draw meek characters to be quite endearing
π: 0 β©: 1
Or, you know, busy conquering his fears other than the one he developed for Akarai and scissors?
I know, I know! I feel terrible for terrorizing him like this, but trust me this will all make sense in the end 
Haha, thanks!

I think by now my character elearu is sorta addicted
to akhari's tea
π: 0 β©: 1
Nonsense! People have been know to stop drinking his tea with absolutely no signs of withdrawal symptoms. Ferox's coffee on t'other hand you might want to watch out for...

I'm kinda jealous it's a place I wouldn't mind visiting
Lot of beautiful land and animals
Are cheetahs is south Africa or are they farther north
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a very beautiful country, for sure! The politics are just a bit messy at the moment.
There sure are cheetahs here! Mostly the northern parts of the country (like the Kruger national park), but leopards are found further south :3

Yay cheetahs are my favorite aside from saber tooth tigers
