Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
I’m writing to you from the local library, because the internet is out at my house, and Spectrum estimates they’ll get back to me sometime on Sunday about when it will be up. Thanks, Spectrum.
Four pages remain!
The teahouse fight continues, so expect some blood. Full page below:

Action poses are so much fun but so difficult.
Five pages remain! They might get posted late in the day, but they will be posted on schedule!
As you might expect, there is some blood and violence on this page.

It’s late, I know, but I managed to get this page done.
First of all: the Book Gymboree is tomorrow! 10-4 at the RecPlex fieldhouse, 9900 Terwell Terrace, Pleasant Prairie, WI. I’m very excited to be there, and I hope you will be too!
Ten more pages after this one! That means only five more weeks until the draft is finished. Thanks for sticking with me.
We’re bringing some plot threads together for the ending!

In the full version of this panel, which you will find below, there are EIGHTEEN people. That is why this page is being posted so late.
We have arrived at the teahouse! The stage is set for our last scene.

There’s another trope at work here, in addition to the Only One Bed, but I’m not sure what it’s called. Awkward Domesticity?
Also, I love edge lighting.
Next page will conclude this chapter, then we’re on to our last bonus art and the last chapter!

Two more pages in this chapter. I have enjoyed the comparatively lesser amount of work that four-panel pages represent as compared to eight-panel ones.
Also, someday I will get the sword on the shoulder to look right, but not today.

Here is a pattern that repeats.
Resunotek: Do you need medical attention?
Ichiro: I am able to continue physical exertion.
Resunotek: That’s not what I asked.
I might need to cut one or more iterations of this if it gets too repetitive.
In the meantime, onward and forward!

We’re moving on!
This page includes a larger-than-average bug with lots of legs, if that’s something that bothers you.

I forgot how much fun shadows are.
Our protagonists will be moving on next page, promise. In the meantime, there’s a brief description of imperialist violence as they get ready. In this setting, some people live a very long time, and others don’t. Some memories linger.

It’s exposition time!
Pacing is really challenging for me here, because for me, Ichiro has been naked under a blanket for over a month, and it really should be time for him to put some clothes on. For someone reading the comic all the way through, it would take a few minutes to read a month’s worth of work.
This is why I need reader feedback. Comments are open! I promise I don’t bite.
