flat 3

January 16th, 2010

flat 3 came out last Saturday. To commemorate this, a bunch of Yurindo bookstore branches are exhibiting her manuscripts. So I went over to the Kawasaki branch, because I’d be able to a calendar card if I bought the tankobon there.

6 pages of actual b&w manuscripts were displayed, 3 double-spread pages. I was impressed that her manuscripts were so clean. I’d seen manuscripts with correction fluid all over, but her manuscripts didn’t have a drop of correction fluid on them.

flat is by Aogiri Natsu, and the series is running in monthly Comic Blade Avarus.
