Well, my comments on ICQ when you showed me these pictures where just "W00t!" and "XD". You deserve better. =d

Soo, I'll say that I like Jaime a lot. =D
She doesn't exactly look like the girl you met in Paris, but if you had that picture as desktop background for months like me, you'll certainly notice the similiarities. Especially the shy face reminds me a lot of the other picture.

Nice work. =D
If all of your characters are as good as this one, I'll certainly read the finished Manga with joy.

*edit*

Oh, and nice new avatar. =d
