I've been using just a generic file name for a title when creating the files, but I will think of something suitable once I actually get past chapter one. Anyway, this story, follows the life and adventures of Noriko Hasekaga (Nori for short), who is a pilot-in-training at the Celestial Dome Academy (C.D.A.), an academy that specializes in space study and exploration, at the beginning of the story. Noriko has always been the type of person to look up at the stars in deep thought. She became enthralled with astronomy when she was a kid, and decided that she wanted to explore space on her own terms. Throughout the story, Noriko travels with her companion and best friend Kazushige (Kazu for short), whom she has had unrequitted love for. At the same time, the story follows the life of a wanderer from a distant planet named Kosuke. His story and Noriko's story intertwine early on in the series. During their travels, Noriko and Kazu meet an array of people that become close friends, rivals, and enemies. I wanted to create a story that is not dominantly one genre, but a fusion of adventure, romance, and comedy. Nori's skin tone is actually darker, but it doesn't show up well (or at all) once I saved the file as a JPG instead of a Manga Studio file. I need to work on that. This chapter is not done yet, so it stops at pg. 16. Hopefully I can get the rest of the chapter done soon, if time allows. Space 0 copyright Britt J. 2007
