About


Truth of Lies - Uso no Shinri Truth of Lies (Uso no Shinri) is a manga about Yoshida Yuuji's life, from when he was a teen until present days. It is a collection of stories from his life. The appearance of each story doesn't follow a timeline, so you can read it in any order. Please read from right to left.

The place of action and its characteristics
Yuuji was born and grew up in a major city, with a large population of over one million residents. The city is spread over a larger area, so usually it isn't crowded. It also has preserved green areas and smaller parks, as well as two larger ones. A lot of foreigners visit the city due to some specialities found only here, for studies or for work, having two national colleges and many thriving international businesses and enterprises. The economy is pretty good and residents are getting by well (necessities are available), but the number of rich people (upper class) is scarce. People are usually polite to each other and the general conduct of speaking is a formal one, mostly using titles of respect with the name of the adressed person. Although the notion of "community" is also well accomodated in this city, residents also take care of their individual needs and aspects.

I've been busy and a sickling lately, but here's page 11 of Love to Hate. I have been drawing little by little for a few days.... aaaand I'm getting slightly out of practice.


April 3


I'm still stick. Here's page 10 of Love to Hate. I'm getting better with Keisuke's face and with abs. ^^v The lyrics are from London After Midnight - Kiss; reason: I just couldn't get it out of my head and wanted to fill the empty space with something other than "flowers", no one is singing it and it's not BGM.

The last page from New Lies...
I give up shading, I don't have time for it... I only did the black hair >_>
Note: on the paper the clerk is filling in, is written: #, Name, People, Check In, Check Out. Next to Yoshida (Yuuji's family name) there's a 2. Anyway, the clerk just fills that in, and then adds the same info in the PC too (they keep records on paper and computer).

Page 8 of New Lies... Note 1: "Thanks for the meal." - in Japanese gochisousama (deshita) is said after eating. Note 2: "Unn.." - is "yeah" in Japanese, like a mumbled "mhhm". I use it a lot. <_<

Progress. I redrew the header about... 7-8 times. Inklining is a bitch when it comes to paper and not so good tools. I also redrew Yuuji's character profile picture, because again the inklining sucked (I did it really late and got sloppy).
I managed to finish the cover of "New Lies" story. A few hours before Valentine's Day, and I am "whishing" you guys Happy New Year. I'm non-conventional and do as I please, so don't be surprised if I don't stick to dates and traditions.
Please leave comments, they make me want to draw more and better, even if it's just a greeting, I'm happy to get back something from my readers.
