Your characters are all unique and instantly recognizable. You're a master at character design. You are also a master at watercolors and thus I am not going to say anything about that at all. Frankly, I don't feel worthy to critique this piece BUT.
1) Be careful of your hands the farther away from the camera the characters get! A few of those people in the back seem to have broken hands. Just because they're farther away doesn't mean we don't notice. Especially Sahn (is it? The one with the black hair) has a pinky I would NOT trade for. It could be an inking thing, or maybe just trying to keep everything even. Just remember that hands slope and bend and grow thin or thick depending on the angle or the position.
2) Ryo, the one with the brown spiky hair, is so 2D with that hair. Everyone else is beautifully 3D until you get to his head. I would recommend either leaving the bangs out completely (always one way to do it) or adding sections and layers to his hair both in the design itself and in the coloring because otherwise he just looks odd.
3) Be careful of your eyes! In other works as well, you set everyone's eyes very widely. While that is fine as a stylistic choice, you need to be aware that you're doing it and adjust for it. Some of your characters have a very odd look because you're not auto-correcting for the width you give them. I only notice this because I do it myself and it's a sore spot.
Otherwise this is gorgeous and you should be VERY proud of the work you've done.
