So the page image..i guess it does fit, but it seems to me that the caption carries more weight. And the situation could be interpreted differently to those who haven't watched series, such as him being confused as to why some random strange woman is kissing her.

I found this image/comic.

I found both aspects of display of affection and the said affection failing to be reciprocated clearer and demonstrative in this picture, without being too busy.

So, what do you guys think?

That's an improvement over the current, for certain.

I think the heart could be better off not being cut off, and the question mark bubble could be more noticeable, but it kinda works.

Yeah, those are my issues too.

At least the question maek can be enlarged with right image manipulation skill ..which I don't have. XP

"Shrunk less" looks a lot better than "enlarged"... what's the original?

It would be this.

Can't imagine why the heart is cut, though, but I think it would be recognizable enough.

I did a quick photoshop job, which just consist of enlarging the question mark.

Does this look any better?

(Whoops, pardon my double post)

I got: "To some, not even a shot straight to heart is not enough." Is it a bit wordy?

Or,

"To the oblivious, no gesture is unsubtle enough."

Or,

"What is obvious isn't to the oblivious." for wordplay value.

"The obvious isn't to the oblivious." Same thing, but a bit shorter.

Hmm...Can't think of any concise and witty caption..

Sweet, I guess that's an enough consensus.

By the way, can a fanwork be used as an example? It's a fancomic of THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls.

Since there seems to be enough consensus, the image is uploaded, tagged and potholed.

For caption, are we good with the one in 15?

15 works, although I feel like a parody of the Bon Jovi line "Shot through the heart and you're too late" would work too.

You know, I like that parody too. Even without knowing the song it feels fitting. grin

We already use the song on Love Hurts. I like 15, funny and fitting.

Huh, what do you know, we do.

Okay, I restate my support for 15 for caption, then.
