MegaTokyo Inspired

I was reading MT last night and this morning, and though I sometimes don't like MT, sometimes Piro gets it right. Sometimes people screw up without meaning to, and sometimes they screw up through sheer stupidity. Like the scene with Largo and Miho in Cave of Evil.

Largo is a ignorant, lame brained moron stuck in a world of his own creating, I have friends like Largo, hell I am very Largo-ish sometimes, BUT Largo can get it right sometimes, and the times he does get it right seem even more profound then it would coming from most other characters. I LIKE Largo, he's a very flawed character who isn't quite sure how to interact with people outside of certain mindset, YET he still keeps going doing the best he can.
Miho, on the other hand is a manipulative stuck up young lady who comes across as a total evil bitch. But what most people don't realise is, she's also very lonely and very ill girl who though she knows how to manipulate people, isn't quite sure how to relate to people, how to get close to them and be a true friend.

Everyone says that Piro is a genius when it comes to art. So what? Kudos to Piro for great artwork, but he can be very random sometimes when he actually releases it. So can all artists. What gets me into MT more than anything, more than the art, more than fact that it's a huge webcomic is the Characters and the Story. They interact with each other, they are flawed people they are capable of mistakes that we make in every day life. And more importantly of all I can relate to the characters in the comic when Piro gets it right.
