Progress Report for This Week by Kisa-Sensei
I worked on the "Anomaly" (Ijo-hen) arc for the first time in a while, but I ran into an issue with Ci-en’s one-time-purchase posts: they only support images, videos, and audio—no ZIP or PDF files allowed. On top of that, there’s a limit of only three files per post, so I ended up uploading the content to FANBOX instead.
As for the future direction of the "Anomaly" arc, I’d prefer not to use Fantia, and FANBOX’s terms of service don’t allow the "Sato Family" (Sato-ke) content. That makes Ci-en—which is more flexible and supports one-time-purchase posts rather than just monthly subscriptions—a very attractive option.
So, I’m thinking of trying a manga-style format: one page for free and three pages as paid content, for a total of four pages. That said, it’s been a while since I’ve done panel-based manga, so I’m a bit nervous about whether I can pull it off... If it doesn’t seem to be working out, I might have to change my approach again.
Also—unrelated to the "Anomaly" arc—I haven’t done any manga work for the past few days. It’s not that I was just slacking off; I’ve been studying because I’d like to learn how to write novels. The study process has given me some new insights. Even if I never end up writing a novel, I feel like the time was well spent, as these ideas can be applied to my other creative work.
(Though, to be fair, my manga progress is currently at zero!)
Still, I’ve been so absorbed in creative work lately that I’m starting to run low on fuel. I’ll be shifting my focus back to the manga soon, so please bear with me a little longer! That’s where things stand!
Thank you for your support!
