FAQ

What is NLMO?
NLMO is short for Nine Lives Minus One, which is a manga-webcomic produced by firefly376/Raye/Rachel (whatever you'd like to call me, those are all of my names).

How do you do your pages?
I first sketch out the pages. Then I ink it with some non-smearing black pen-thing. I then scan it in and tone it in Photoshop 6.0/CS (depends on the computer I'm on), using many layers.

Can you teach me how to draw/tone/etc.?
Yes. Email me at raye-firefly@hotmail.com and I'll help you anyway I can.

Why do your characters have four ears? Is it intentional?
Is it really that uncommon for a character to have catears and human ears? I know of a few characters that have four sets of ears (such as Meroko from Full Moon wo Sagashite, or Dejiko and Puchiko from Di Gi Charat). Yes, it is intentional that they have human ears and cat ears. Please don't be so nit-picky! =>_<=

Why can't you update faster?!?!
Because, I have school, and school=tons of homework so I can't have a life. It's really hard for me to find the time to work on the pages (especially since they're so time consuming). But don't worry, I will update when time presents itself!

Why are there so many animal-characters?
The animal-people are the central part of the story. There's not many of them, actually, but they band together, and this includes Maemi. There are many humans in the story too, such as Leiko, Nami, Maemi's teacher, all the kids at Maemi's school, etc. The story just isn't focused on humans.

Will we ever find out why (character name) has animal ears and tail?
Yes. Yes you will. Not until MUCH later though. This story is long. It's a six book long story, and I'm still on the first book. And you won't find out 'til the last book. I just need to pick up pace. ^^;

Does this story have a plot at all?
Yes, it's just very slow. This manga is meant to be a long-term project, so the plot spans over six books (five chapters per book). If you want something more fast paced, this is not the manga for you. But I'd be disappointed to lose you as a reader. :(

Are (insert character 1) and (insert character 2) going to end up together?
Well... this is partially a romance manga, so the possibility is great. :3 I haven't quite got all of the ideas out yet, but it's safe to say that two pairs of people will get together. <3

I get that this is a romance and humor manga, but you said there would be angst... where's the angst?
Trust me, by the third book, you'll understand why it's marked as angst as well.

I see that this is book one. How many books are there?
There are six books total with five chapters in each book.

Do you have any other mangas?
Yes I do. I have one other online manga called Graph Paper, which can be found by clicking this link. It's in COLOR! D:

What's with all the grammer/spelling mistakes?
Okay, I admit it, I suck with spelling/grammer. =@__@= If you kindly point it out to me (and I mean kindly!) I'll fix it... if I remember to. XD

This manga reminds me of (insert manga)/This character reminds me of (insert character). Copycat!
Eep! Don't accuse me! I'm innocent! =>__<= But seriously, I understand a character may resemble another one you know. I've read MUCH manga, so of course I'm going to incorporate characteristics I like into it! D: But I'm really trying hard to NOT copy. So please don't say I am!

Where can I send you fanart of your manga?
Ooo! Fanart? For me? You can email it to me at raye-firefly@hotmail.com. I can't wait to see it! =*o*= *loves fanart to death*

This manga is sooo cool! Will you ever publish it?
Probably not. :\ First of all, it took me THREE years to complete the first book of SIX. That means that if I did publish, it would be slooowww. Plus, the first two chapters of this manga are kind of gross-looking, so I'd have to redo those too. Such a hassle! So bottom line, no. Too much work, too much of a hassle. Thank you for the compliment though! D:
