And that's a wrap for volume 1 of Tokyo Girls Bravo. I think it's really hard to balance humor and sadness, everyone wants it, that's why all those awful hollywood movies release in the past 10 years are full of dumb low effort and unfunny jokes at dramatic moments, as if they're afraid to let the audience feel. Kyoko Okazaki is a master at portraying life, with all its sadness and all its joy and her art style... like I said, after a while it grows on you and it's hard to imagine her works with a different artstyle. Rays of sunshine in the middle of a storm.

You can move forward, but the past is always in front of you, around you... time is not flat.
Also guest starring this issue: BATMAN! ... or maybe not.
Thank you for working on Tokyo Girls Bravo, it brings me so much joy!
