What
exactly is On and Across about? - well, it's a
romance/slice-of-life/drama about
dreams, lost love, friendship, loyalty, forgiveness, jealousy, unrequited
love, family, standing up for others, confusion, loneliness, warmth,
bitterness, etc. etc. At the center of On and Across are
Jiro Takahashi, Midori Minami, Kano Irie, and Haruko Aoki.
How
did On and Across come to be?
- a year or two passed by since a friend and I tried to produce
our own printed comic but failed (miserably), I had turned away
from drawing and concentrated on my writing. Then the same friend
tells me about webcomics and announces to me that he will be doing
his own webcomic, he also suggested that I do one as well. I was
hesitant at first, because at that time I haven't drawn anime/manga
style for nearly two years. After I decide that I'd go ahead and
make a webcomic, I spent about 3-4 months on planning and preproduction.
Where
does the title come from? -
"wherever I go, you are with me - on the roads of life, across
the tracks of fate - you are my beautiful day" ... "life
goes on and across" these are lyrics from a song by Jiro.
So
exactly how long will On and Across be?
- long, very long.
Why
are there so many characters?
- there are four main characters, the rest are minors.
Why
are there so many female characters?
- that's a good question, it just turned out that way somehow.
