Hope this doesn't violate the new guidelines. ^_^'
The idea for this one came from one of the volume 6 chapter covers, which shows Yuuko in a pool of smoke with lotuses growing from the smoke. I think I went through all 8 volumes 3 times looking for just the right image of Yuuko to use...before giving up and downloading this from the MT gallery. Yuuko is holding a pipe in the scan, but I cut that out of the vector and placed a lotus at the end of her fingers instead. I realize it looks a bit off but...
The lotuses were vectored off a couple of b&w chapter covers from volume 5 and colored using this scan for reference. The smoke was vectored off a b&w manga scan from volume 2 and colored using this scan for reference ^_^' I say colored, but they're really just gradients with touches of brushing. The original vector is 2778x2994 px and takes forever to open at this point. The bg ^_^' is just some render clouds and texture for a simple, faded look.
