Marie-Neige aside, it seems like nobody’s comfortable with Gaia’s new looks.
What do you guys think?
BTW, Hello Eleonore! It’s been a while.
Please vote for me on Top Web Comics!
And don’t forget to comment, follow me on Twitter or like the Facebook page!
I am sorry to have to admit that Eleonore is right.
Heresy!
Personally I believe Gaia needs to be the token glasses-less girl… I know that as a rule I prefer girls with glasses but like Nodoka from K-On, I believe they both would be better served without them on.
It’s because Nodoka’s glasses look like ugly scribbles on her face, which was always so weird to me since everything else in the anime is always do nicely detailed, from pastries to musical instruments.
It’s even weirder when you compared to Mirai’s glasses in Kyoukai no Kanata, which are so nicely drawn it boggles the mind why Nodoka’s looked so simple since the art style is the same.

And it’s okay to like Gaia as the token glassesless girl, of course. :)
I was sure Gaia’s glasses were just a joke, a temporary thing. Now I’m not sure about anything.
But hey, Eleonore does look great. Like, really, her face is so detailed, Dez, are you testing new style or something?
Didn’t the fact I bothered to change the site header in order to add those glasses give you a hint this might not be just a joke?
As for Eleonore, I dunno? Didn’t she always look like that? I don’t think it’s a new style, I just put more detail on her lips in order to accentuate her blackness, especially compared to Gaia who only looks like some random dark skinned anime girl of unspecified origins.
Yeah, I checked other pages, and she always looked like this)
And about the header, well, we had Laurence there once, didn’t we? I can still imagine Gaia losing her glasses at the end of chapter. Probably when someone smashes them into her face.
And I’m super slow, but I finally noticed GPX on her shorts, which matches with Phoebe’s designation. So I guess Gaia took those shorts from the secret lab or whatnot?
Nah, that just means it might be an elaborate joke. Like with Laurence in the header (although I never got to see it).
I’m with Eleonore on this. The glasses throw off the look.
(Then again I’m one of those people who likes glasses-less Clementine, so what do I know?)
T_________T
Poor Dez, hopefully we’re not triggering you too badly.
Not at all. Hey, I did ask for your input after all. :)
I’ve gotten a bit more used to it.
But as I said before, I like glasses-less Gaia more because she reminds me a bit of a character from another comic that I like. (But that could perhaps be solved by convincing that author to give her glasses :P )
Was that a Doctor Who reference?
It totally was.
So the next thing that happens is someone snatches the glasses off of her face, flings them way up into the air and then shoots them to bits! Ironically, I would love to see that, even though I don’t especially dislike the look of glasses.
Am I the only person who likes Gaia with glasses?
On the other hand, now there’s no female character without glasses at all.
Hmmm.
I’m sure there’s one somewhere. We just haven’t seen her yet.
No, you’re not the only one who likes Gaia with glasses. Then again, I thought she was cute without glasses too, so does that mean my vote doesn’t count?
I really don’t think that glasses hurt her appearance, but I can’t quite get into the idea of choosing to wear them if they are not needed. They’re just one more thing to keep track of and keep clean. I would love to be able to ditch mine
I think both Saki and Eleonore are only saying negative things about it because they just aren’t used to see her that way.
Well, it is her choice, and it doesn’t hurt her appearance at all. It would have been nice if the other girls had been a bit more considerate. But it may just be a case of getting used to it(hopefully)
At the risk of angering you, Dez… I liked Gaia without glasses. ^^; She doesn’t actually need them, so…
But if she’s happier wearing them, then that’s an end of it.
Indeed, even glasses can lose their appeal if they become the default.
Aw. Well, you choose who should keep hers, and I’ll make all the other characters lose them. :)
I am not so arrogant as to try to dictate to you about your own comic. 0_0;
I was actually talking to Mongoose. :)
And I’m just curious!
I think I’d choose Flore. She’s the only one I can’t picture without…no, wait! Liliane! It has to be Liliane! She needs her shades to look right.
And no one is going to point out these shorts in the middle of winter? Gaia is definitely not human.
Actually, the alt-text does point them out.
The alt-text doesn’t count. >.>
(Nah, gotta give some love to the alt-text.)
Well, she’s exercising, so that should keep her warm, maybe? I’m not sure what normal athletes do.
Wearing a jacket at the same time seems a bit odd though.
I think the glasses look great on her and fit her personality. Gaia is Gaia, she doesn’t have to make sense. She has green hair.
Sun glasses. Fancy retinal projection smart-glasses. Those would be acceptable.
But if her eyes don’t actually need corrective lenses, then she doesn’t need glasses!
Her forehead doesn’t need to have a piece of cloth wrapped around it, yet here we are.
I’d say use this opportunity to give her glasses with black rims, as originally intended.
Originally intended?
But they were always supposed to be red.
Although I think Saki’s black frames suited her better.
I kind of exaggerated on purpose, but they did indeed look better. :)
Every time I see Gaia working out it reminds me i’m supposed to work out that day. She’s like a walking exercise motivator.
In Gaia’s case, they’re hot pants. :-) In both senses.
As for her glasses, I’m an either/or-guy.
And with “both senses” I mean that aside from being sexy they also must be pretty heated up by now.
I like the French title “Tact” better. Why did you change it for the English version?
And now Elly and Gaia switch glasses?
