A nice mix of western and eastern styled comics, but I'm focused more on The Reborn. The artwork being colored on the website and the covers is quite cool. I hope for you to have much success with the forum as well. (if this is your message board)
The Reborn is very entertaining, the style is unique but you get used to it over the course of..maybe about 4-5 pages. The expression is packed into the first pages ("it's my birthday yeah yeah yeah"), and there is just nothing that will get you involved quicker into a manga than expression. (it builds the characters and is your quick interest)
And then there's your "long interest" as in the story itself. 130+ pages is really exciting, to have gotten that far I'd say appreciate where you are. :-)
I have a couple questions too. Mostly "when did you begin the comic? which comic did you start first? when did you start drawing? what's your process of doing the manga (The Reborn)? when was your last update, and how long would you want The Reborn to be ideally?"
Keep the unique-ness, never compare yourself to others; your just fine with your own shine, James "Mark" McGlocken

Thanks for all your kind words. They brought a smile to my face ^^
The idea first came to me a little over five years ago. An early was version of the first chapter was posted online at Harvest Moon Archives in late 2004, early 2005, but it wasn't until about a year later that I decided to update in earnest.
The Reborn started first, though the idea for Dream About Me predated that by several years
Ever since I could hold a crayon
I do the pencil work on Sunday, using a rough copy that I drew several years ago. Depending on how much free time I have, I draw anywhere from 2-4 pages. I ink with Sakura Microns on Monday (and maybe into Tues. and Weds.). On Tuesday, I color a page or two with my Prismacolor markers. I scan the page on Wednesday or Thursday and use The GIMP and Inkscape to resize, add text, sound effects etc. If all goes well, all comics are colored by Thursday, leaving Friday and Saturday as free time. Lately, I've been off ^^;
Last update was Sunday evening on SJ and Monday morning (today!) at DD. I honestly don't know how long it will go on. I have 20+ chapters planned out, but lots more that need to be scripted
