Whoa. Colore!
Color takes a long time. Who invented it? Sheesh.
If you don't recall- Color = Flashbacks. This page flashes back to a very important event that I wanted to draw since this ridiculously long comic started forever and a day ago. The place is Sanuki Province, a place I was most serendipitously sent to live for two years. It's now called Kagawa Prefecture.
More specifically, it's on a hill somewhere between Shido and Yashima on the bank of the Seto Inland Sea. That's all you need to know for now. History ensues in the next page or two.

BTW- This page also contains a hail to silly foreigners trying to wear Japanese clothing. Someone isn't wearing something right. Don't worry, I'm very aware of it. ^_^

Comments:
Aquadude: Yeahhh. I just feel like I'm not as cool and collected as people who create confusing comics- and I worry that I'm not addressing half the necessary information. Pah. we'll see, I guess. But you're right- I should just let things lie- let people assume the worst! Mua ha ha ha!

Mina Lunga: Hm. Yes. A Fated Feather Recap done with… a ball of yarn, a pair of scissors, a crochet hook, some thread, and scraps of fabric… yesh… I like it. (these are the things sitting on my coffee table.) But I doubt it'll happen. If anyone would do a recap, I'd make Richard do it.

Amanda: I am grateful for your insight, because you're probably the newest reader, and you've got the archive fresh on your plate, so your feedback is really helpful. I'm glad you're not confused!

Alejkhan: I'd "show" the things that are confusing in the next chapter to clarify them, but I'm not certain if my editor will approve. See, my editor LIKEs that it's confusing. He also thinks my readers read into EVERYTHING. He begs me to change small details because he thinks people will understand huge plot devices if I leave them. This is why I have an editor.

Jenshin: Yo yo. Still in the DC hood. It's pretty laid back. Not a whole lot going on- trying to get a real job- not having too much luck. Just finished sending in a new resume, so we'll see how things go. I'm so tired of rejection. =(
Glad you enjoyed the tumultuous nature of the comic. Did you figure out the cover for Book 7? I remember you asking whose hand way throwing away the bird- and which bird it was. ^_^
