Blinded by nostalgia

If you feel a sense of deja vu while reading this chapter, it's because a small scenes is recreated in Chiisakobee. The real ones will remember. Also, a familiar face from one of the stories in that short story collection by Mochi we did a while back (no, they're not the same character, maybe they're cousins though)

I wish there was a fat character in this chapter so I could reference the fact that the character are still on land and not at sea by saying something about said fat character where I would call them a land whale. Oh well.

My Way

Hello Mochi my old friend

I've come to talk to you again

And here... we... go! We're about to embark on our longest journey yet, this series is actually over 100 chapters so... yup, pretty scary. We've wanted to work on it for a long time though because it's by our ol' pal Minetaro Mochizuki and this is where he develops his new art style, you can see a blend of the two styles in these early volumes actually. 

Set sail!

And also, you can check this out in case you missed it. Lots of  other cool garo stuff there. Very cool group, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Beginning not found

This was supposed to be done last year, but I fucked up... apologies, Fearless Leader-kun... Well, it's done now. We decided on releasing the entire thing together because it's a series of interconnected short stories (save for the last oneshot). Anyway, this is another work from Akane Torikai, I really like her voice and this one looks gorgeous, it's got this really nice style because it's all pencils and no inks, gives off a "sketchbook" style but it's not as scribbled, it's actually very controlled. Really cool art, mostly double page spreads. It's a bit abstract but pretty easy to "get" so I hope you enjoy. The title was hard to translate because it's very japanese and english just doesn't get along with japanese, a literal translation would be "Without a beginning/missing beginning, you must move forward" so I went with Lacuna Overture, press forward.

Let's all look ahead and move towards the future.

Lacuna Overture, press forward
