[h3][b]Alexei Dragunov: Warakuma High, Anime and Manga Club[/b][/h3]

Alexei realised a bit late that there was someone else besides Akane in the room and that the lady had gone completely unnoticed by him. He bowed a bit and spouted his apology, [color=ed1c24][b]"I'm sorry. Didn't see you there."[/b][/color]

Her question though was a bit perplexing, from the start Alexei had thought that this club dealt with production and conceptualization of one's own Anime or Manga. The girl made it sound like that it was not the case. Before he could reply though, Akane had greeted him warmly and had taken his notepad from him, inquiring about the kind of work he had brought her.

[b][color=ed1c24]"Ah! hadn't I told you about the problem I was having with the shoujo I was drawing, in our last meeting."[/color][/b] he paused to motion at the notepad in her hand.

[b][color=ed1c24]"Well, that's the piece I was referring to. I can't get the look of the tomboy princess down. Need your help on the redraw of the princess, I frankly suck at drawing feminine characters."[/color][/b] he said frankly before turning to the girl. [b][color=ed1c24]"I'm Alexei Dragunov of Class 3-3 and yes, I do make my own manga. Nice to meet you."[/color][/b]

Akane would notice that even on the panels where there was only the girl, her expressions were rather hard or stoic for the setting. She looked more like a grizzled war veteran than a pampered princess. Her body language to soldier like as opposed to charming and lady like.
