Looks like being mad at nature runs in the Noma family! Zaruno doesn't seem to like the shade provided by the leaves, but doesn't it feel good in the summer? T-T To meet the family, read the comic in this account: @windylightningcomic #leave #plant #nature #drawing #inking #art #windylightning

I don't know what these flowers did, but Yassia doesn't seem to like it. Maybe she's allergic? What's your favorite flower? Mine changes every season o.o!! You can read Windy Lightning comic at @windylightningcomic #windylightning #flower #yellow #sketch #art #angry #loud

It's a little weird the way characters look without hair. Like a world populated by animated dolls. I wonder if there's already a movie like that...? Read the comic at @windylightningcomic #manequin #drawing #sketch #art #manga #blue #windylightning #comics

I think Xeico constantly has a tiny Yassia on his shoulder telling him when something is a bad idea. Maybe that's why he's so level-headed? What do you think? Read the comic at @windylightningcomic #siblings #brother #manga #comic #indie
