Eve

I was talking on discord about how contemporary romance works better for me in comics than in prose, because the art can make the emotions feel huge, and these two pages are a perfect example of that.
I love the panelling. We start with the big panel of the two of them against the sky, just enough framing to give us a sense of the frozen moment when everything changes. Then the little insert, a glib joke, a diminishing of the statement, but too little too late. And the slight surprise on kanon's face. She didn't get the reaction she was expecting. And then wham. (digitally, this is a page turn, I'm not sure in print but I think it should be.)
This huge page of basically just saki's face. The screentone that drags down to darkness. The careful detailing of an expression that conveys so much. Sadness, fear, embarrassment, a dawning horror that she can't hide anymore.
and aesthetically I do think this is stronger for not having colour. Sure, we lose the sunset vibes, but we get the pure play of value instead, and the contrasts of light and dark serve to highlight the starkness of the emotion.
