Flying Witch - Ch. 85 - My master is the founder of the shasei style

why does her broom have its own kimono tho

"Rougher" wasn't the word I was thinking of (there was no word) but the difference was definitely noticeable. Not bad! But threw me off a bit

Not rougher so much as just... quicker i guess? Like it's not as though it's all scratchy or anything like you'd usually think of calling it rough, but the linework does seem different than usual, and my guess is it's probably because they spent most of their time inking over those photos of trees & stairs & had to hurry the final pass afterward lol

I think the term you're looking for is "looser". Their earlier character art was much tighter, and has indeed gotten looser the last few chaps. I actually like it either way.

On the cover... What does Chito have around her neck?

I think it’s the “bib” or “apron” sort of thing often put on Jizo statues like the ones they’re standing amongst. I can’t remember the actual Japanese word for those things.

Ey yo, where'd the manga go?

 

[Kaarme]

Seems like this is it for this manga, due to the DMCA nuclear strike. It was a long, very pleasurable read. The art was always exceptional in my opinion, so it's fitting the last chapter I'm likely to ever read was about art.

Thanks for the hard work translating this!

Hope you continue to translate this (elsewhere)! Your work has been much appreciated and loved by many people!

Master Okyo maybe based on a real artist name Maruyama Okyo. (円山 応挙)

This is his work

It has 1 mil views on Twitter so yeah it blew up.

I got curious and wikied Maruyama Okyo, and found out that he’s a famous artist who lived in the 18th century, and was one of the first Japanese painters who studied Western art styles and combined them with traditional Japanese techniques.

He started his own art school, and is claimed to have started the “kawaii” craze in Japanese popular culture, as well as the most famous Japanese ghost painting “Ghost of Oyuki”

Only issue I have is that he spent his whole life in Kyoto, so I have no clue why he’d visit a temple in Amori for a painting that’s now in the Berkeley Art Museum.

As Makoto said, "Witches are interesting, and the dead often like to play with them." Amori currently has a high concentration of witches living there, so maybe he started haunting an interesting place; sort of like finding a nice place to retire to.

After they praised his art, the effect disappeared...
