Sketch Notes

I was making some notes on how the Japanese comics I've seen don't shy away from devices that have basically been labelled "passe" in the US comics arena: thought bubbles, pictures/symbols, and other diagram-like devices. People here seem to be afraid to use these tools, and I think they're missing out.
My opinion aside, however, I kind of ended up making a stereotypical shoujo that I thought you guys might like to see or something
