HEY YOU LOVELY PEOPLE! I'M SHOUTING IN CAPS BECAUSE THIS THING IS DONE.
No, seriously, this took 2+ years to complete so gosh I hope you guys have liked it. Pretty soon I'm going to prepare a megafile of all pages, but I need to resize all of them to 50% - which is still 4k resolution after that. I also need to coordinate the public release of this to coincide with the completion of the motion comic, which is on its last few steps too.
Thanks so much for your support while we comp...

Sorry for the silence; holidays always make things slow in production. WBUT's last two pages are nearly done, and then I'll finish the motion comic, and aim to release everything before the end of this month. Barring any unforeseeable problems that won't slip!
Soon after that I'll be launching a Kickstarter for season 2 projects, and there's a lot of them (6!), and only a single one of them is a comic. The series is growing up and expanding thanks to the fact I have a publisher behind ...

It's time for a tearful last goodbye at the airport. Indeed, Papa Leaf and Masako were thrilled about the prospect of having Toby's fathers living close to them, and little likely squealed so loud that mom and dad are half deaf now.

Also, sorry for the radio silence for a while! There is SO much going on behind the scenes right now, that as the kids would say, I can't even. WBUT is getting close to being done, and I'm hard at work on two new projects.

An emotional send off to a very important part of Sebastien's life, and a surprising choice of words for Colson.

EDIT!: A critical detail was left out of the page which I added back in. Now you know something extra is there that you didn't see before, so let me know if you spot it. :)
Sorry for the delay in pages everyone! Summer schedules and busyness across multiple projects for everyone involved.
Sebastien hears the Hymn of Creation - and it's far more impactful on him than he could have ever imagined.

Guest comic time! This was illustrated by GenOttr, who was a delight to work with, and has such a lovely style that the family looks great in. Please follow his wonderful work!
This short takes place a few months into Colson and Sebastien's budding relationship, and the first time Sebastien stayed over at the Graingers' home - prompted by an innocent request from Toby, who just wanted to spend more time with Sebastien, ...

Hi Everyone!
Since all of you have seen the comic in still form up to this point in the motion comic (and more), I see no reason not to show you this, since it's 100% finished.
Making a motion comic is an incredible amount of work. Beyond the obvious additions of voice acting and animation, there's a ton of extra direction, editing, and polish that must be done to make it quality. What you see before you here, in just part 1 alone, is easily well over 200+ hours of work. I'm very ...

After seeing a whole new, magical side of his husband and son, and understanding what it means to them, Sebastien realizes that they have plenty of other things they share that keep them a tightly knit and close family.
Apologies that things are a bit slow right now! Tablet troubles, travel, and visitors. Only 8 more pages to go after this one!

In which the magic system in the Sweet Leaves universe is (mostly) explained. I would really love to hear your thoughts and reactions on this. I worked on and revised and tweaked this system SO much, and this speech by Yuki. This portion took the most thought and the longest time to get right, and I hope you like the final result.

Thanks so much for your support everyone! I'm attaching the entire image pack for Setsuzokuyo, including a recent picture just completed by Soul Nero which is entirely too colorful and beautiful to put into words.
