Nin-Nin's a bit of a chaotic neutral in a way. You can't quite figure her out in many ways, and she always kinda does what she wants. The direction in which we'd take her relationship with Onigiri would be, "she's pretending to like him cause she wants to get intel on him, but then actually does wind up liking him, and thus betrays her grandmaster as a result, and that has consequences." A lot of her sillyness/pervyness is kind of a front. But also, she's a kunoichi, so the sexuality kinda goes hand in hand with her character. Idk if that's how that Leon girl kinda is. In terms of character, I kinda told my friend to base her off Suzume from Rance and Haruko from FLCL, so there's definitely a deceptive/mischievous/malicious side to Nin-Nin, though her loyalties would ultimately lie with Onigiri, though it's mostly out of selfishness.

Also, yeah, what's the name of the manga page you posted, the battle scenes looked nice and clean.

And yeah, I see what you mean with the action shot where Nin-Nin kicks Onigiri. I think I'm gonna take a step back from inking the manga pages though, and do some studies, refine some things in my skill/style for a couple weeks, and then go back to working on more pages. I'm defo gonna do some page studies of other manga to capture certain elements of them. Our approach has kinda shifted, we wanna make this really great so it can captivate an audience, so insted of rushing to get things done, we've decided to take a step back, reassess things, and see what are areas that are lacking that we can improve. I think rushing to cram a lot of content in, so it can be a good pitch to a major publisher was what was ultimately hurting the manga. The story, and the manga needs room to breathe, in order for things to work out. So that's our approach now.

Also, I've refined the ink a but more. It was too sloppy. It's just a concept drawing though, to help keep my art consistent. Nothing promotional.
