Da-dum, da-dum, da-daaaa! Big reveal!
As some people already guessed, the reason why Masahiro hides his left arm in his sleeve is not to look stylish, but because he is actually missing his left hand. This is – and will be – important. (also, he is actually left-handed to begin with, which is why he carries his sword on his right side – it’s how he used to do it, and he’s so used to it that it’s a difficult habit to break)
I reached my first milestone on Patreon this week! Thank you to anyone who got me there – your support means a lot, and you’ll be getting shiny things for it. Everyone else is very welcome to join in – there’s a bunch of comics and cool stuff in it for you!
Now, onwards to the next goal!
Haha, I guessed right! I got well into a few sketches of him in various dramatic sword fighting poses where he was flinging his cloak off and using both hands when I suddenly thought “WAIT A MINUTE” 😛
Poor Akane 🙁
Yesss! XD Good job!
And yeah, poor Akane. 🙁 But on the whole, it could be worse – she could still be sitting around in that clearing covered in blood. Or, you know, dead.
“Keep your hands to yourself if you know what’s good for you”. I see that masahiro has learned this wisdom it in the hard way, isn’t it? 😉
Yeah, he definitely has – and there will be hints as to why coming up in chapter two, and I’m planning some flashback-chapters later down the line to fully explain things. 🙂
