<p><strong>Summary:</strong>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Body:</strong>&#160;    <em>Four friends embark on their final year of school. Jess &amp; Karen can't wait to start their musical career, and Steph has a promising future in fashion &amp; design. Marian, on the other hand, can barely decide what she'll have for breakfast. And suddenly, a new girl arrives in town, who will change the way they see the world. Can a single photograph awaken Marian's own dream in life? A journey in self-discovery awaits, not only Marian, but all her friends as well. </em><br /><br />

* * *<br /><br />

I remember creating these characters, many years ago. I am not sure how many times I've rewritten their stories, but now I've finally gathered the courage to put them to (proverbial) paper. I wanna thank you for stopping by and read my first long form, &quot;full page&quot; webcomic! While it's not my first webcomic (<a href="http://www.springiette.net">Springiette</a> is! 4 panel cuteness!), it is the first time I work on this format... so I hope you like what you will see. :)<br /><br />

Updates officially start on September 22nd, so I hope to see you all again! ^^ Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates!</p>

                ... Think I saw the link on &quot;Fragile&quot; months ago on your website, but it wasn't leading to anything... Congratulations for the launching of the comic,  Shouri ! 
I love it already... Great colouring, wonderful art -and oh, sweet references. ^^ 
I think the story will be interesting too... So I'm looking forward to see more of it ! Keep up the good work and stay strong ! :)
