Hoh. This is looking very much quite good. I despise typical fantasy manga because of how they love spamming and overusing thropes and being OP. But im ok with OP support or utility that actually stays true to their role.

So, Im not quoting Myamoto Musashi, but I am paraphrasing him when I say:
Arrogance is for the weak; they have no accomplishments, and use it to hide their weakness.
Conversely, humility is for children; they have no accomplishments, and humbly watch others to learn.
Pride is for those who know their worth; only when one knows their own worth can they truly exist.*
*terms and conditions may apply


I feel like that (my paraphrase) is the point of this story; an appropriately humble young man learns to see his own worth.**
That's basically the Western "Hero's Tale," but with a distinctly Japanese twist, and I am entirely here for it.
...


**Mind you, this viewpoint is from a dude that once happily murdered every man and boy in town to show how "cool and amazing" he was with a sword; then again he also killed all the guys in another village, and then had his entire ass whupped by an old farmer dude with a staff (likely an older ashigaru). Basically, when it comes to Musashi, your milage may vary.

crap man, that swordman cutie actually a dude, now I'm gay :meguuusad:
Congratulations; hope it works out for you!
You know what they say:
Dont be afraid; be fabulous!
