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

    1. Good wording. Regardless of how one might feel about the writing, it DOES look neat, can't deny the how cool the art is. Well, regardless, I liked it a lot and that's all that matters \(*-*)/

    1. She's a really good artist in general, but this "sketchbook style" is soooo good.
