Week 117: Announcement
Sorry everyone, I've tried & tried but I can not upload images from my computer. It means that I haven't been able to put up the Image Theme :(
If anyone wants to help by uploading the page to PhotoBucket/TinyPic/etc... or you just want to see which picture it is...
Trick 93 - Page 5 Although in the download I have it says 140, as it was the 140th page in the tankoban.
It features Kaito appearing against a pure black background. He is lighting his cigarette with Akiro in the foreground looking startled. The following frames are a close-up of Kaito as he's smoking, and a comedy supder-deformed panel of Ikki, Akito & Akira.
I'm so sorry I can't get this stupid thing to work properly :(

Hi guys! Sorry to do this to you, but due to unforeseen circumstances we're having to extend this week's theme to Sunday 21 September!

But in the meantime, there are three super cute icons so far! This is the first week that
foozled_up is hosting, so lets give her a BIG hello with some more cute cute icons of her favourite character!!
Submit your icons HERE!!! :D
