Hmm, i don't read much manga/comic books to know if the panels are right. But the character anatomy is great. I see no problems... >.>' =enables scan mode 1000!=

Wow that is really good.
Only thing is at the bottom of the comic the guy's face just looks a little..off. Maybe it jsut looks like his eye is too low and it doesn't look like he's facing a certain direction. IDK

After I figured you've gone for left to right and not right to left (I do read a lot of manga. It messes up my ability to read normal way round stuff...)
I think the panel layout is not only fine, but fairly professional.
Now, I think you've possibly inked after drawing and shading with pencil, or shaded after inking or something. It's not traditional, but it dosen't half look good. I would have scanned the lineart into my computer and added tone there, but then I use my computer for everything after the lineart stage. Always.
I think Moon_Kat is onto something... In my opinion his left (the viewers left even) eye is a little far from his nose, and the angle dosen't let it sit on the face happily, but that's not something easily fixed on paper. You could try a computer method, or you could leave it. I didn't see it untill it was pointed out.
The second picutre is very nice, I like the composition. Things start to dissapear at the bottom of the picture, but then I'd do that becuase I hate drawing hands or feet. This id definetly drawn, shaded and then inked, isn't it? You can see hwere the old and new lines are, which is why I always (try to) ink before shading. But it dosen't stand out with the fairly detailed style with all the folds and strands of hair.
You could (again, on a computer) up contrast massively (and probably need to lighten) to get the lineart out, which you could re-shade either on screen or a printout, which I do when I don't trust myself not to ruin the original, or to try differen colour combinations. Oh dear, I have no idea any more. What was I even saying to start with?
I think I was going to say how I loved your style, especially the eyes. They're full of expression. Or as I once put it expressionalistic (no, that was someone else...) Keep drawing, I'd love to see more!

I prefer the right to left way of drawing but I wasn't sure, if others would feel comfotable, who knows so yeah I flopped it.
And I actually drew the whole thing in pencil no inking. Maybe I should start learning XD
This goes with the second picture too, all pencil =)

Thanks for the input I shall now learn how to fix Tetsuo's face.
