Last page of this chapter. I hope you aren't bored by all this "pleasant" stuff. I apologize for the lack of sinister twists. If it makes you feel any better, this boat voyage is not over yet. We will return to it later – there is a lot more to this arc. ;-) (First, we'll be learning about Kaida's exploits back in the city.)

If you have not yet done so, remember to vote for the Drunk Duck Awards. (Lots of fun award categories this year!)

ghostrunner: The truth shall set you free.

blntmaker: I was being semi-ironic/sarcastic. Yes, it is a story about friendship, but it's not exactly a Hallmark card. XD It definitely is those other things too – with classic sitcom elements thrown in. Anyway, I hope not to disappoint with the rest of the story arc. (There are still 5 chapters left in this one. ^_^; )

Peipei: It was the same thing Seiko was thinking earlier. ;-)

Tantz: It was one of those "sweet" moments. Nice to have them from time to time.

amanda: Don't feel bad. It's the nature of Yuki's character to be underestimated. Even her friends forget how bright (and how loyal) she is because of that bubbly, care-free air.

n_y_japlander: Yuki's a team player. Seiko shouldn't have doubted her. ;-)

patrick: Lol. In the murder mysteries I watch, the police usually take away the body at some point, but I too wonder about the ones on ships or in secluded cabins. Better hope to get ashore fast before the thing starts to reek!

trevor: Rest assured that death is a permanent condition in this story.

BetaJess: But we need brains… for smart making! I liked how that panel turned out too. I don't recall whether I posed and took a reference photo for it or drew it without references.
