KimonoKitsy Notes:
The first 12 chapters chronicles the very first year of nemu*nemu. All comics during the first year were done in black and white with screen tones. For those that are curious, the comic strips were all done in a vertical format just like traditional Japanese manga style (4 koma) comics, but were late rearranged in a horizontal format to make it easier to read on the web. You can still see the original vertical version by clicking the link at the bottom of each comic strip. Anyone interested in the creative process of these chapters can look here for tutorials.
