Yeah, the intention is clear. And in a graphic novel with many illustrations the reader probably won't notice things like that that either aren't emphasized with color or relating directly to the text. I know I have major problems with positioning feet and getting them to look right in drawings - (not that i really draw anymore :() I think it's easier for me when modelling things in 3-d to see when something doesn't look quite right. It's hard too if you don't have a model, or if you have to turn yourself into a pretzel to see where the limbs go.
To address your comment about the way her body is turned - her torso is toward him but her hips are turned away - that indicates ambivalence or being less than friendly towards the other guy... I can't read French, so I dunno what you're going for, but I think your readers will definitely pick up on body language.
Also, I want to let you know that I really enjoy & respect your work - I don't want to come across at nitpicky, or critical in a bad way. Feel free to tell me to STFU anytime my comments are unwelcome. :)
