Er. I love Manga. Some of my best friends are Manga.

I've gotten a couple more review requests so there'll be at least two more strips before the boys go on hiatus. I'm ready to move on though. I've got the first dozen pages of Journey Into History: Isle of Demons plotted. Hell, I've got a few hundred pages loosely plotted. Layouts for the first couple of pages are done. Characters are pretty well designed. I've got a decent collection of location photographs for Saint Malo and even a couple of the actual houses that are used in the story. I'm not sure what I've revealed about the story, but it is heavily based on a true story, well, not necessarily a true story. Several of the people involved have embelished, but I'm going to try to stay true to their embelishments. In fact, That's a big chunk of the story, dealing with everyone's take on this Isle of Demons. So enough of this, I'm going to plow through the two review I have left and get down to work. I'll be posting pages as I get them done, but take them down after a short while. The story will be headed to black and white print. For the internet folk, I may post the newest pages through bitpass or paypal. Is there any demand or willingness for that sort of thing?
