How come she has mobile phone but didn’t use it to communicate instead of writing in a sketch pad? She literally wasting papers there. It’s more believable. I remembered the Jap movie drama I watched like she lost the ability to talk and uses her phone to communicate w/ her friends...
Because a jk with a sketch pad is cuter than a jk with a mobile phone. Also, she makes a bigger impression on readers and at this point the sketch pad is a trope.
Agreed - and I think it may be easier to draw the character with what she's written on a sketch pad (get the message and her expression over in one panel) rather than to keep having to show a separate zoom-in on the phone, especially for her longer messages.
