i've been meaning to post this since i got back from the philippines but i never got around to editing it till now.
as i said in the artist comment, i'll try to make a 4koma omake at the end of every chapter.

uhh in other news. i'm kinda getting out of that slump i was in. so i started drawing chapter 2 again. can't say exactly when it'll be done but i'll try really hard to finish it soon.

please stay tuned~!

yeahhhhhhhh............. maybe it IS actually gonna take a while for the next chap to come out -shot- DX
sorry guys. i started drawing it and got about half of it sketched out, but recently i haven't been very confident in my art and it's been really slipping lately >_< it's one of those times D: i don't wanna push myself to draw it cuz i just end up drawing worse when it's forced :'c but i for sure have to try and finish it before december, because my 2d illustration class has computers with photoshop, so that would probably be the only way i'd be able to edit my pages. so yeah, i have to have finished pages to edit before the semester is over D: OTL i dunno. wut is motivation? arrgghhhhh

since there's absolutely NOTHING to do in the philippines(besides play cards and eat) i had plenty of time to think about the story for sandou. and so, i have pretty much the whole story now completed. the next step is to write out the scripts for all the chapters so i don't forget anything :3 i already have the scripts for chapters 2 and 3, so i'll get started on drawing chapter 2 asap. the only problem is my photoshop trial has expired so i have to find a way to fix that again ;w; lol...

for now at least XD haha. so yeah, after six long months, i finally posted the rest of chapter 1! :0 wooo~
now don't misinterpret. i didn't become a hermit during those six months and practice my drawing everyday non-stop and improve like ten fold 8I nah, actually i was really busy due to school, so i actually stopped drawing D8 so don't expect any improvement whatsoever XD OTL
so, i had planned to use more textures and tones on these pages, but due to time, i wasn't able to do that much :/ all the goblins were actually gonna be colored in photoshop, but, no time >_< i did my best on inking and corrections+editing though, so i hope that makes up for it.
but yeah, i had no time because i gave myself a deadline D: as some of you might know (on tegaki) i guess it's good that i did since i actually ended up finishing it (i probably wouldve taken another six months if i didnt XD lawl) but still i ended up rushing on some parts, and i didn't even make it on time XD haha i'm a day late but whatever.
but i do have news. i did plan on being active on this project from now on, but due to a few circumstances, i probably won't be able to post anything for a while. mainly becauseeeee:

-i'm going to the philippines for two weeks next monday so i won't be able to work on it
-my pens are dying
-i want to spend time working on character designs and making sure i got everything down
and also because i might get busy again since school is coming up and i might get a job :T but i'll try my hardest! >w< thanks to all of those who stuck with me this whole time, and i promise that, it might take a while, but i'll try REALLY hard to make sure it doesn't take another half a year XD lol

and as always, a super big thanks to magni and loni. i could've never done any of this without your guys' support :3 i love you both and i hope you enjoy ^_^

i hope everyone else enjoys the rest of chapter one as well, with its new slightly larger pages!<3 XD lol

till next time~

-mirai

p.s. please read the artist comments on the pages :) they'll help if youre confused about something or don't understand what's going on XD thanks!

School ends on Thursday, meaning I'm gonna have a lot more time to work on this manga.
However, I might not post any of the pages I finish until I get photoshop back(since photoshop is what I use to make the pages look not-so-unprofessional).
So yeah. Summer 2009. Sandou will return, for all of those who care.

I'm officially calling one just to let anybody waiting for the next pages thinking i'm actually working on them know that: i'm not and i won't have any time soon to work on them. sorry guys, i'm really busy. Maybe i'll work on it during the next school break.

Sorry for not updating. I know I said more pages would come soon, but I'm really stuck on the next part :c I hope I can get them to you guys soon. Please be patient with me >m<"

Yeah, I added an extra page and title page to the beginning. Just to give it more of that manga feel. Lol, I had to post them with a date prior to the one I posted the first ones with. It worked, cuz they ended up in the beginning, instead of having to edit and re-upload all the pages again.
Also,(as seen in page00)I'm going to start working with tones. Not official tones, since I don't have any manga making programs, but just simple gray-scale coloring on photoshop.
Oh, and pages 15-17 are expected to be up soon(hopefully...)
