meganon comics ' tepai pascual, who's set to break into the mainstream this year with visprint's publication of her opus maktan 1521, recently blogged about reading the latest few issues of school run: 'The depth of the story usually contradicts with his cute, doodle-like art style but still manages to convey the message to the readers—- spot on...
