Volume 1 - Page 4 (Patreon)

Greg: Every page so far has been designed as a 4 row page structure, this is the first page I drew a 3 row structure. I did this mainly because the characters can be drawn bigger, making it a bit more "intimate".

Thomas: This is supposed to be less of a "rational" conversation and more of an "emotional conversation". In this page Hiro's mother notices that Hiro is not into the conversation; so she asks about his friend, to purposefully establish a more personal connection with him. She's smart, she does understand that he probably doesn't like talking about school that much.
