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 been tens of pages (and therefore many weeks) since we’ve had a proper fight scene, so I hope you’re ready for the last, climactic battle of this volume.
Six pages remain!
As you might expect, the full page contains blood and violence. Find it below:

A new kind of magic? We’ll explore it more in later volumes, but for now, know that it is a thing.
Seven pages remain!

For now, have a little glimpse into the political nonsense of the setting, and get ready for the next big fight.

I wouldn’t blame you if you thought that I forgot about the demons, but don’t worry, they’re still relevant. Politically, in particular.
We are counting down! Nine pages remain after this.

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.

Another page, another thing I forgot to draw (hint: how are Ichiro’s bow and quiver attached to his back on the outside of the blanket?). I have my editing work cut out for me.
I’m trying to do something with the last panel here. After the encounter with the samurai, Ichiro’s attention is drawn to the castle, where the daimyo lives. Technically, his duty is to report in and accept the daimyo’s judgment (either taking him on as a retainer, or executing him for his family’s crime of attacking their neighbors without permission). In either case, his status (such as it is) is restored, and he is no longer a ronin–but that means giving up Resunotek, the only person who has been nice to him in recent memory. This is his last chance to choose the daimyo, and he doesn’t.
I want to use as little text as possible to convey meaning. Let me know in the comments if it worked.

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!
