Lawn Order: Read My Manga!

[thomtinuviel]

Okay. Hear me out. This started as the most ridiculous of jokes.
Does anyone recall that thread that Personalpizza started, I dunno...two weeks or so ago? About which ideas HAVEN'T been covered in anime?
here it is:
http://www.animecrazy.net/forums/gen...red-anime.html

Well, there was actually a brainstorming session imbedded in there. Seriously. About a kid with an ass-kicking lawnmower. Tsuki ni, Artillis and Personalpizza and myself actually formulated a wonky-as-hell plot that somehow feels very typical of anime.

Anyhow...I've been on Spring Break and I wrote the first chapter. It took surprisingly long to do, although it was fun, and it became more of a dramedy than a comedy, but I would love it if people could read it and provide input. Most of all, I'd love it if people could enjoy it, somehow. I'm a professional writer, but not a professional artist, and my style of drawing is certainly not button-down anime/manga. Hopefully it'll make you giggle a bit.

I've started a group for the project here:
AnimeCrazy.net Forums - The True Anime Streaming Community - Lawn Order
If you're interested or if you like this goofiness, please join the group. That way I can keep you posted when new chapters are done.

Don't forget that the original idea was from Tsuki ni!

I read the story, and I was like:


...wOAh.

You went into the deeper depths for this, didn't you? I mean, ...
I honestly thought that thread was over, due to the sudden drop of posts.
And here it is, you have a whole 'first issue' of that storyline!
You are a dedicated artist, thomtinuviel.

Holy goodness. I totally forgot about Tsuki ni! will certainly credit.

I am a BORED and dedicated artist, ah hahah.
But honestly...I have a massive plot worked out. And it makes sense. It's just a matter of whether it's worth drawing the second part. I mean, if no one will read it, I can't invest the time, for shame. I'm a university student, you know? And a writer.
But this was a good time.
