Hey everybody! So here’s volume 11. At this point the manga is becoming more and more minimalist. This volume has one chapter that has no text at all. And we’re now at the point where there’s no more sound effects, and it switches to only using visual metaphors. There’s a FEW in this volume but I’m pretty sure this is where the last ones in the series are.

So, given that there’s not a lot left, I’m trying to see if I can sort of push to get through the rest of the series fairly soon. Right now I’m in the middle of cleaning and redrawing volume 16 out of 17. Then theoretically typesetting shouldn’t take too long since there isn’t a lot of text and at this point it shouldn’t need so many corrections because I had a little more experience at this point. Not that there’s many mistakes in these, for the most part they’re the sort of little misses you’d just notice after going over it an extra time. The other textual changes are mainly making it sound more natural or flow better. But anyhow, given there’s not a lot left I figured it might be a good idea to try to just really focus on this a bit and see if I can get to the end soon rather than draw it out doing one every 2-3 weeks. So for now I’m cleaning ahead till I get to the end and typesetting enough so the QCers have something to check while I’m working ahead. Though we’ll see what happens. Sometimes when I do this sorta thing, like I did with Takeshi a couple years ago, I got kinda burnt out. But at this point there’s 6 volumes left and I only need to clean about 3 and a half so it shouldn’t be too bad.

Also, we have a Discord! Come hang out and talk about manga. https://discord.gg/Nw45rfJYZF
