I relieved to say I’m now following a steady schedule for Volume 1. Currently, the schedule includes finishing the pencils for Chapter 2, which should be done this week. Then, it’s off to inking. The writing of Chapter 3 has already started and the outline for the entire Volume is complete! I’m really happy with the outline of the story, so I’m really looking forward to its completion. It’s going to be awesome~!
