Page 6. A single panel, eye-level two-shot. Dim evening light. Momo has lost the fight. She is slumped forward over the rim of the cardboard box, cheek squashed flat against it, eyes shut, cowlick drooping, the magnifying glass dangling from one limp hand. Ganta stands beside her sipping his juice box, looking down at her with zero surprise. GANTA: "You're asleep."
Image description
A chibi girl in an oversized yellow coat is slumped fast asleep over the rim of a cardboard box, cheek squashed against it, magnifying glass dangling from one limp hand, while a chibi boy in a cat-ear hoodie stands beside her sipping a juice box and looking down at her.
About this chapter
