haha yes first I didn't understand that it was a cosplay convention. I only thought hey there are Yin and L in the same place haha :D After a few pages I recognize it's a cosplay convention :D
I like how u draw both really stunning ^o^
Have fun by watching I also watched it a long time ago maybe I should too XD
haha I found yin :D
the last scene of page 52 reminds of the story from the wonderful wizard of oz xD
and the hyperbolas wedding dress looks so gorgeous ♥_♥
haha very cool, clever and confusing story xD

Wow... can I say it again? YOU ARE SO AMAZING AND YOUR COMIC IS EPIC!!! I saw the most recent pages and I think they are just super! :D Your drawings, panelling, and screentones are so perfect!!!! Please keep it up, the story is so genius!!!
Thank you!!! That song was so much fun!!! This line "But no matter how hard I try, I'll never be the cardioid of her eye" and a bunch of others were so GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! You're awesome!!!
Hey you're right!! Thankyou for that advice, Izuzu!! Thats just what I needed to hear!! Now I feel like I can go ahead and do my best! Wish me luck :D I hope to get some sort of manga going soon!!
If you wait to be 100% concentrated you might never start! You just have to start making pages little by little!! And be careful not to lose the flow of the story!!! Anyway!!! Your comics are great so you just dive in!
I'm never 100% concentrated in my comic due to college!!! I wish I could draw more new pages and ink and edit all the old ones!!!
Ahahaahah I cannot wait!! I'm really wanting to start my own manga again, but i just feel like I should be more concentrated or else I might get lazy... You are so super cool for continuing this amazing story! The ideas and characters u make up really blow my mind, its insanely good!! <3
Thank you for reading and for everything!!! Yeah!! It gets loler on the next page and for a while the story gets all like that!!!! I hope I can ink and edit the next page soon!!! You're great too!!!
Ah! I don't know why I put fairies. xD Sorry! I meant witches. :P
Anyway, I finished reading what you have posted so far. It was fun (especially when hyperbola was at the anime con. xD), and definitely unique. This is the first math-themed comic I've seen. Can't wait to see what happens next! :D
I'm on page 18 so far, and this is pretty interesting! :) I like how all the fairies are named after math terms. I also like the idea that Hyperbola is afraid of asymptotes! xD That would explain why real hyperbolas never cross the asymptotes.
*continues reading*
I just caught up on the most recent pages, Izuzu!!! You're seriously a genius *3* Doing a comic AND doing math in it is tough! I liked and laughed on page 57! Nice work ;D Keep it up my friend!!
Oh so cool!! My sister has an iPod touch that she recently got so I'll tell her to check it out :D
Its so funny, I never thought I'd be able to write a manga let alone a romance shoujo!! >//u//< I hope I don't get embarrassed writing it haha! But I'm going to have fun... its working out better then my usual ideas. At least a bit of randomness or odd scenes won't look so out of place xD lol thankyou my friend!
Well I'll make sure to read your next comic!!! It'd be really cool to see a shoujo manga from you since it's super different from a detective manga!! It'd be like seeing another side of your art in comic!
I know >_< I'm sorry for disappointing you! I'm just not interested in continuing right now... But you have inspired me lots!! If anyone is going to keep me on track, its you You're so kind and Cipherland really inspires me!! I'll definitely continue... I just don't know when or how O_O BUT I WILL!!! ;D
Oh woah, that sounds like an interesting game! I haven't heard of it before, I wish I could play it too!!!
Anyway, I'll be sure to post some sort of comic pages soon^^
WHAAAAAT???!!! You're not feeling like doing it... Too bad! Lately I've been playing this awesome Japanese game where Watson is a girl!!! It's so much fun! The name of the game is Watson 1, so I'm hoping there's a Watson 2! In the game Watson is learning how to be a great detective while solving a case with the help of Sherlock Holmes an anime boy! In the game herlock is also sick, but less sick than in the case of your story! So i was hoping to read more from your comic, but it's best to wait 'till you're feeling up to it because sometimes we do things when we don't feel like it and everything comes out awry!! Can't wait to read your shoujo and sports manga!!!
Lol I agree^^ And its ok, I don't think you're bragging! I can really tell you improved when I compare the old pages to the new pages :D But the whole story is great!!!!
Oh I'm starting a romance shoujo soon cuz I really want to do it xD! I know I haven't completed my Sherlock Holmes manga yet, but I'm not feeling like working on it right now xP
I'm glad you hadn't notice. Oh yes! I think I've improved a lot (I'm not bragging just being honest)! At first they were so skinny with no shoulders!!!! Thanks for the support!!!
REALLY?! I honestly did not notice!! Lol you sound like me xD I end up seeing my mistakes a lot! I don't think you did badly on this though!! *just goes and double-checks* Wow girl, you're bothered about that?! ITS SO AWESOME!!! Don't think anything different! I love how you drew Hyperbola! <3 You draw really well and I think you've even improved from when you first started writing it! :D Your style is great^^
Ahahaha!! Thank you! But I bet you've noticed I have a terrible problem with proportion and once again I did a colored Hyperbola with a huge head!!! All 3 colored Hyperbolas I've done are like that!!!
Wow thats so cool!! I usually do pretty well in math but its not my favourite subject... I think its neat that you got so interested that you learnt so much and made a comic out of it :D So awesome!!
Haha!! That's a great idea!!! Thank you so much!! I knew no math what-so-ever before going to college! Part of it was my own fault because back when I was in school I never paid that much attention... Shame on me! But I've always seen math as something extremely important and then when I entered college I began to see it as something extremely alluring!!!!!!
Awesome! Congrats on the A!!! I'm so happy for you!
Woah, you definitely know lots about math! I need to keep reading your comic to learn more myself xD LOL and here's an idea: when my dad says I should study and not read comics, I can say that this comic is very educational^^ lol
I know you'll do amazing on Calculus! I was homeschooled for most of highschool and the system I did was based on math so I did lots of math... but I never learnt as much as you! Now I'm even more interested in Hyperbola^^ Its so cool that you took your studies and created this comic out of them :D
Talk to you soon! <3
Yes! And guess what? On Wednesday we learned about Simpson's Rule and guess what that is?! It's a method for fing the area below curves using Parabolas!!! More and more attention for Parabola and none Hyperbola!!! I'm so glad to have someone that I can share all of this with!!! Yep, this week I added two pages!! I need to add more. I'll see if I start inking the next page. But right now I'm studying for calculus! I'm excited 'cause I got an A on the test from the other day! It inspires me to keep going! Thanks for your support!!!
Haha! Yes I really love stories based on real facts and such, even though the story is fiction! I need to learn more anyway :D I find it amazing how you fit in everything. And it all makes sense! Like how you turned Hyperbola into the villain witch because of an experience you had with your math lessons. Its so neat!!! Oh and did you add another page the other day? I'm going to have to keep reading! :D
This might be a shorter comment... because mostly all I have to say now is that YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I'm serious... This story of yours is so unique and well done! And how you began it, while doing studies... Man, you are so smart^^ I would never been able think of this!
Oh yes, and your character designs are really cool too!!!
I can't wait to keep reading^^ I'll let you know when I continue :D
AWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I'm speechless!!! I don't ind long comments I love them!!! Thank you so much!!! Yes I began incorporating digital at that point and soon you'll bee seeing a lot more(sadly. I wish I could do better with just traditional). I decided to use fire brushes because the fire I originally did, didn't show up in the scan very well.
When I first began college I had a terrible math basis so studying pre-calculus was the hardest thing ever for me so I had to study ALL day. I felt oppressed but I loved it! To the point I became obssessed!!! While in class I always try my best to concentrate but when I'm studying because I do it continiously for hours my mind tends to wonder off and that's how I came up with the story. While studying! Also while I'm not studying I tend to space out in ways beyond comprehension because I'm planning the next events that will occur in the story!! The reason why Hyperbola is treated as the "reject" or "bad guy" is because in pre-calculus 1 they only taught us about Parabolas and Asymptotes but not about Hyperbolas (we saw those in Pre-calculus 2, but again we saw a lot of parabolas and Asymptotes, so Hyperbola was always is always the less common one). In pre-calculus 2 we also learned a lot about Ellipses and that's how I got the idea for that specific character.
I'm so glad you find all of this interesting sometimes I fear it's too nerdy a story!!!
Ah! I continued reading today from page 17!! I hit the half-way point, around page 30. So now its question time! mwahahaha xD
Did you write this comic without planning it? Cuz its so detailed! I really like how you add mathematical elements to it! (did you think up this story while in math class? lol) I'm learning lots too cuz I never knew some of those mathematical signs and I didn't know about Arthur Caley! Are you a math whiz?? xD seriously, you know your stuff and you've created a one-of-a-kind comic here! I really love it!
And did you start adding some digital effects? I noticed in the part with the fire at the Doctors... it looks really cool!
You're improving as well! I can tell, your style and page setup are even better :D I like your creativity^^ Sometimes I lose whats going on but thats my fault.. I just have to look over it again and then I understand!
And I was like 'SO GROSS' when the witch is shown in her true form... a nevus!! O_O That was gross!!! xD And Ellipse is so funny xD Haha that part where he escapes with wings is hilarious! I'll continue reading^^ I would usually be faster at reading and commenting, but its hard for me to get my laptop for that long >_< So I end up reading it on wifi, but then I can't comment until I get back on my laptop! Anyway, I really enjoy your comic! Keep up the great work, my friend!! <3
sorry for the long comment xD
Cool! I like how you do the text on the computer... Its so much easier I'd think! You don't know how many times I've messed up while writing the words in my comics xP
Thats so neat! I do the same thing! Its a lot easier for me to draw from references ^^'
LOL I'd probably be so scared if I did that too, but I thought it was really funny, especially when Excel #3 pulls up the rope and the witch isn't there xD Poor Excel!
Well first I draw everything with pencil and write the text with pencil in the same page. Afterwards I trace the drawings with pen and edit using paint and Gimp!!! That's about it. Very simple.
I draw from my mind but I also look for pictures with similar poses that I can use as models. Especially for hands and such.
Hahahaha!!! You liked the part where she pushes the witch down the well?!!! Awesome!! I thought it was creepy! I'd die if I ever push someone down a well!!!
So here's some questions for you!
Did you draw this traditionally with pen? And did you do ever do a pencil storyboard first or did you just draw it from your mind?
I shall be back soon to continue reading and asking more questions and commenting!!
Oh and I love the parts where Excel #1 wears fake nevus, and Excel #3 accidentally pushes the witch down the well! xD I really like the expressions you draw too! ^_^ I'll keep reading and commenting as I go!
Yeah, I had to stop though cuz my little brother had to go to bed and he didn't want me to keep reading without him^^
Alright! Thankyou! For the most part, everything is really clear though so don't worry! And thats ok about the bananas, I love them and it is really fun to send gifts to each other! I'll send you some more, except I'm running out of gifts xD LOL
I truly do! I really like your style and how hard you worked on it!!! I know that you're not finished yet, but I'm finding myself wishing that I could work as hard as you have!! :D You're so awesome!
And my little brother didn't want me to stop reading it!
Already in page 17!!! That makes me so happy!!!! I know my story can get confusing at some points! If you have any doubts just ask! Thank you for all the nice things you've said!!!!
BTW, sorry if I over did it with the bananas I just thought having a gift conversation was fun!!!
I'm on page 17 now^^ my brother and I are enjoying it lots^^
I really like how you've told that story! I got a bit confused at one part, I admit... but I read your descriptions underneath! I like how its so funny but there's also a moral of your story! I totally love how you wrote it... Appearances shouldn't matter! And i was cheering for the 3rd Excel!!! xD I love her name too by the way!
Ok I shall continue reading and talk to you tomorrow probably! thanks also for all the gifts x3 Good night for now, my friend!
Hey! I LOVE THIS COMICS Its so hilarious and well done :D I'm reading it with my little brother right now... We just finished the first chapter! I was laughing a lot xD You're really good at writing stories and adding humour^^ I really like your style too! And I see that you've written quite a bit too! Good for you :D i can't wait to read it all!
It is hard, but I feel like it's important to me and it's also fun! And OMG! I love love love your Hyperbola fanart! It means so much to me!!!!!!!!! One of the best things anyone has ever done for me!!!
i appreciate the amount of time you devote to this comic! its complex and i enjoy seeing it updated. it's hard work to keep a webcomic going like this.
Hahaha!! I got the idea from a website my English teacher was obssesed with. The name of the website was "garden of phrases" and when she said it for the first time that image came to my mind!
Oh yes! As I go on, I can see the comic becoming more and more wonderful! It's easier to read! I just love it. You're doing a great job. It's VERY funny. I'm extremely proud ^^ Great work Otaku~
I really like this ^^ It's a bit confusing because of the layout, but I think you're making some great progress. I like the story so far. It's pretty funny! I'm happy to read more ^^
-Kitty
OH WOW! SO its all in your head? that really admirable..thats awesome. I wish I could do that..Im a bit insecure in my work so I would probably keep on changing it :/
Keep it up!
Hmm, well I didn't plan anything which is why I was stuffing the pages. But then I started kind of planning the layout in my head and also the way I want the drawings to look and the poses I want my characters to be in. Sadly well sometimes the drawings might come out bigger or smaller than planned but you know little by little.
I hope someday I finish it. I really think I will! But it's quite a long story. If you wanna make a manga you should totally give it a try even if paneling it is difficult at first.
You are doing really great! I really hope you keep it up and finish the manga. I wish I could start the manga..but the paneling is so hard. But you attempted it, so thats awesome in itself already!
Wow! Thanks! Yes! These are very old pages that I have from the beginning of my manga but now that I'm inking (because first I was only doing them on pencil) the pages I've completely noticed that these pages are waaay too crowded. When I start making new pages I'll try to meke them less crowded. Although I think they start being less crowded later on. Thanks for your advice and if you think there's anything else I can work on always let me know.
I respect anyone who can create a comic, and even more because its really good! Great job on the paneling, but I suggest putting less on a page because it may look crowded! But still, I can't wait to see more :)

I know you'll do amazing on Calculus! I was homeschooled for most of highschool and the system I did was based on math so I did lots of math... but I never learnt as much as you! Now I'm even more interested in Hyperbola^^ Its so cool that you took your studies and created this comic out of them :D
Talk to you soon! <3

Yes! And guess what? On Wednesday we learned about Simpson's Rule and guess what that is?! It's a method for fing the area below curves using Parabolas!!! More and more attention for Parabola and none Hyperbola!!! I'm so glad to have someone that I can share all of this with!!! Yep, this week I added two pages!! I need to add more. I'll see if I start inking the next page. But right now I'm studying for calculus! I'm excited 'cause I got an A on the test from the other day! It inspires me to keep going!
Thanks for your support!!!

Haha! Yes I really love stories based on real facts and such, even though the story is fiction! I need to learn more anyway :D I find it amazing how you fit in everything. And it all makes sense! Like how you turned Hyperbola into the villain witch because of an experience you had with your math lessons. Its so neat!!!
Oh and did you add another page the other day? I'm going to have to keep reading! :D

Lol I love long replies ;D I enjoyed reading it!
This might be a shorter comment... because mostly all I have to say now is that YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I'm serious... This story of yours is so unique and well done! And how you began it, while doing studies... Man, you are so smart^^ I would never been able think of this!
Oh yes, and your character designs are really cool too!!!
I can't wait to keep reading^^ I'll let you know when I continue :D

AWWWWWWWWWWW!!! I'm speechless!!! I don't ind long comments I love them!!! Thank you so much!!! Yes I began incorporating digital at that point and soon you'll bee seeing a lot more(sadly. I wish I could do better with just traditional). I decided to use fire brushes because the fire I originally did, didn't show up in the scan very well.
When I first began college I had a terrible math basis so studying pre-calculus was the hardest thing ever for me so I had to study ALL day. I felt oppressed but I loved it! To the point I became obssessed!!! While in class I always try my best to concentrate but when I'm studying because I do it continiously for hours my mind tends to wonder off and that's how I came up with the story. While studying! Also while I'm not studying I tend to space out in ways beyond comprehension because I'm planning the next events that will occur in the story!! The reason why Hyperbola is treated as the "reject" or "bad guy" is because in pre-calculus 1 they only taught us about Parabolas and Asymptotes but not about Hyperbolas (we saw those in Pre-calculus 2, but again we saw a lot of parabolas and Asymptotes, so Hyperbola was always is always the less common one). In pre-calculus 2 we also learned a lot about Ellipses and that's how I got the idea for that specific character.
I'm so glad you find all of this interesting sometimes I fear it's too nerdy a story!!!
Super long Reply!!!

Ah! I continued reading today from page 17!! I hit the half-way point, around page 30. So now its question time! mwahahaha xD
Did you write this comic without planning it? Cuz its so detailed! I really like how you add mathematical elements to it! (did you think up this story while in math class? lol) I'm learning lots too cuz I never knew some of those mathematical signs and I didn't know about Arthur Caley! Are you a math whiz?? xD seriously, you know your stuff and you've created a one-of-a-kind comic here! I really love it!
And did you start adding some digital effects? I noticed in the part with the fire at the Doctors... it looks really cool!
You're improving as well! I can tell, your style and page setup are even better :D I like your creativity^^ Sometimes I lose whats going on but thats my fault.. I just have to look over it again and then I understand!
And I was like 'SO GROSS' when the witch is shown in her true form... a nevus!! O_O That was gross!!! xD And Ellipse is so funny xD Haha that part where he escapes with wings is hilarious! I'll continue reading^^ I would usually be faster at reading and commenting, but its hard for me to get my laptop for that long >_< So I end up reading it on wifi, but then I can't comment until I get back on my laptop! Anyway, I really enjoy your comic! Keep up the great work, my friend!! <3
sorry for the long comment xD

Cool! I like how you do the text on the computer... Its so much easier I'd think! You don't know how many times I've messed up while writing the words in my comics xP
Thats so neat! I do the same thing! Its a lot easier for me to draw from references ^^'
LOL I'd probably be so scared if I did that too, but I thought it was really funny, especially when Excel #3 pulls up the rope and the witch isn't there xD Poor Excel!

Well first I draw everything with pencil and write the text with pencil in the same page. Afterwards I trace the drawings with pen and edit using paint and Gimp!!! That's about it. Very simple.
I draw from my mind but I also look for pictures with similar poses that I can use as models. Especially for hands and such.
Hahahaha!!! You liked the part where she pushes the witch down the well?!!! Awesome!! I thought it was creepy! I'd die if I ever push someone down a well!!!

Senior Otaku+ | Posted 02/03/12 | Reply
So here's some questions for you!
Did you draw this traditionally with pen? And did you do ever do a pencil storyboard first or did you just draw it from your mind?
I shall be back soon to continue reading and asking more questions and commenting!!
Oh and I love the parts where Excel #1 wears fake nevus, and Excel #3 accidentally pushes the witch down the well! xD I really like the expressions you draw too! ^_^ I'll keep reading and commenting as I go!

I really like how you've told that story! I got a bit confused at one part, I admit... but I read your descriptions underneath! I like how its so funny but there's also a moral of your story! I totally love how you wrote it... Appearances shouldn't matter! And i was cheering for the 3rd Excel!!! xD I love her name too by the way!
Ok I shall continue reading and talk to you tomorrow probably! thanks also for all the gifts x3 Good night for now, my friend!

Hmm, well I didn't plan anything which is why I was stuffing the pages. But then I started kind of planning the layout in my head and also the way I want the drawings to look and the poses I want my characters to be in. Sadly well sometimes the drawings might come out bigger or smaller than planned but you know little by little.

I hope someday I finish it. I really think I will! But it's quite a long story. If you wanna make a manga you should totally give it a try even if paneling it is difficult at first.

Wow! Thanks! Yes! These are very old pages that I have from the beginning of my manga but now that I'm inking (because first I was only doing them on pencil) the pages I've completely noticed that these pages are waaay too crowded. When I start making new pages I'll try to meke them less crowded. Although I think they start being less crowded later on. Thanks for your advice and if you think there's anything else I can work on always let me know.

I respect anyone who can create a comic, and even more because its really good! Great job on the paneling, but I suggest putting less on a page because it may look crowded! But still, I can't wait to see more :)
