About Dokiri (or: how to be persuaded by friends)

It's me!! ^_^

Let's start from the beginning. When I was a kid I was always interested in other cultures, especially the Japanese culture, although I wasn't always aware of that. In the beginning of my middle school time I got more and more interested in Japan (especially trains and Pokémon). I started to draw Pokémon comics =_='' I was in that time under a lot of pressure of my friends at school. They thought it was childish to make Pokémon c

Now, my friends changed their minds and are now worshipping me as a god ::mwahahahaaaaa!!:: >^_^<

Anyway, this year I started to make this manga named 'Dokiri' to please them with another genre. It turned out to be a hit according my friends' reactions. They even helped me to design clothes (Isabel M.) and give me ideas (Rob v. B.).
'Dokiri' is about a girl named Dokiri (how original...) she's 17 years old and lives in Anno 2073 in a post-apocaliptic world. The world has been disordered by huge earthquakes and tsunamis. Dokiri tries to survive in this word by travelling around, what else can she do... Once in Tokyo she finds a stone and that's where the real story begins. The stone she finds contains powers she isn't aware of, yet! The evil organisation from Takayama (the mean guy in this story) wants this stone back (It 'belonged' to them) and they will sacrifice anything to get 'their' stone back.
