I was able to receive real English comments!
What did you like about the project?
I was impressed that readers not only read my comic, but left
their impressions also
It was good to share my comics with people overseas via the net

It would be better if we had more time (to make the comics)
What didn’t you like about the project?
It would be good if we had some instruction on how to reply to comments (I want to use some

It’d be nice if the pictures moved.
