If I can come clean, there was a Mary Sue Litmus Test (Currently retired) that I stumbled on a few years back, one of the questions to 'ground' your character was whether or not the character lacks a certain common skill and needs to take time and effort to learn it.
So I thought, literacy! Why not? A whole storyline could branch from the simple fact that the two main characters doesn't know how to read. ...

I'll just charge once for these two chapters.
Scanlator group Manga-tube and an independent translator has been respectively working on a German and French translations of Foxtail! I can't thank them enough. The German translations Foxtail available on Manga-Tube.
2020-05-09 07:52:17 +0000 UTC View PostI hope I don't fall into a habit of introducing a new character every time I need to push the plot forward a little, hey, there's still four of the seven flowers that hasn't been mentioned that I can shove into basically anywhere in the story.
Not charging for this chapter too, the art is kinda subpar compared to my usual standards anyway.

With the coronavirus quarantine in full steam, I might get a little time to remake Kudo's prologue.
I still have to prioritize drawing new chapters and studying for online University exams that I'm frankly paying too much for, now that everything's shifted online, so this remake is going to still going to take quite a while, here's a sneak preview of the first page, Patreon-only!
2020-04-12 09:34:54 +0000 UTC View PostI read somewhere that librarians aren't just random people who work at libraries, they are professional researchers there to help you find a place to start researching on any topic. So, yeah, if you didn't know that, this chapter is your life pro tip for the day!
2020-04-07 15:01:09 +0000 UTC View Post
Yeah, I'm not charging for this chapter.
I haven't even started on the chapter after this and University exams (all online) is coming up. I can write off grades for this semester if I want but I'm still gonna have to study. So please be patient in waiting the the next chapter. Cheers~
2020-04-07 14:57:42 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I pen this chapter, I was really torn on whether or not I'd make the Kudo illiterate, like full-on illiterate. It makes sense in that he's just a peasant farmer, but he was also meant to be a relatable figure.
How do you like a blind elf wizard who works as a hired reader for illiterate peasants? Did you notice she has braille on her magic walking stick staff? That's her spells she etched on there. Wizards do need a spell-book, after all.

Foxtail is now available on Webtoon, Mangadex, Tapas and some other bootleg manga sites.

No april fools from me. I hope y'all stay safe and mostly indoors during this global pandemic.

This is only the first of many statblocks and character sheets for Foxtail I plan to make on the side, if any of my patreons are Dungeons and Dragons players, you'll get a kick out of this. If not, there's some lore in there you might wanna check out too.
A little more trivia: This statblock is her in her prime, when Kudo found her in her abandoned shrine, she's a lot weaker than ...
2020-03-14 10:26:31 +0000 UTC View PostAnd that concludes this arc, for real now.
I kind of like how the epilogues has nothing to do with our two main characters, they aren't aware of it, it doesn't factor into their story (yet). It's a worldbuilding thing, it's fun.
2020-03-13 14:59:48 +0000 UTC View PostAnd I've finally wrapped up a so-called 'in-between' arc. Airships are so fun, I'm terrible at drawing and designing vehicles and backgrounds, though, I'm trying to get better.
Be on the lookout for the epilogue to this arc, as well as the next arc: The Capital Library! It's an arc I'm still not through writing yet, but has a lot of aspects I really love. Might take some time to get off the ground, though. Thanks for being patient!
P.S. Patreons won't be charged for the epilogue.<...

Also available on mangadex now! As well as Webtoons and Tapas.

Probably gonna use this on mangadex.
Might give off the wrong impression that Foxtail is some wuxia shonen action flick idc.
2020-02-29 05:08:26 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, maaaaaybe The Seven Flowers is just an excuse to design seven cute anime witches. I'm not proud but I also did foreshadow them one arc back.

Some early sketches I did of Ena. Shout out to Mobzter! Your support truly means a lot, and I hope you and all my readers continue to enjoy Foxtail.

Some infodump of the factions that may or may not appear in Foxtail, I love making those insignia, really solidifies the faction.
2020-01-16 11:31:29 +0000 UTC View PostNia's human and monster form is very much a reference to The Liar Princess and The Blind Prince. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdBespMvxaA
I love the art style of that game, love it. Gameplay was bog standard, and story was a pretty straightforward folktale, can't say I hate those. The theme song though, wow, is Akiko Shikata ever godly.

Surprise! This is slightly ahead of planned schedule. I'll update here a little earlier than other sites. I hope you enjoy the chapter!
I want to make this clear: I might split up chapters when updating on sites like Webtoon and Tapas, but my patreons only gets charged once for an entire chapter.
The reason I split up chapters is simply because any update puts my work on the 'freshly update' section of the site for a longer time. I am trying to get more expo...
2019-08-17 13:30:51 +0000 UTC View PostBy the way, should it be author's afterwords or artist's afterwords?
Maybe it should just be 'Afterwords', period. I don't know.
Yes, the little weeper monster concept was very much ripped from Made in Abyss, parroting voices of its dying victims, the whole shebang. Even the name I sort of ripped off, I'm sorry, Tsukushi-sensei.
I mused around the concept a little and decided that a subversion adds even more story. If everyone thinks that the beast is only faking it, it'd be...
2019-08-07 04:12:13 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a meet cute is what it is.
There are little details throughout this two chapters that I'm disproportionately proud of.
Like the way this two panels joins:
Or like Kudo's sneaky little spellcasting here:
I honestly wonder how many readers are going to notice that.
2019-08-07 04:05:53 +0000 UTC View PostWell, Mother Ena is a terrible, terrible name for a hag.
I made Ena when I wanted to make a Barbarian character in Dungeons and Dragons but I wanted it to be as weeb as possible. As far as I'm concerned, animalistic, wildling rage is totally in line with Path of Totem Warrior Babarian.
I do realize the first two or three pages are confusing to read, maybe someday I'll go back to fix them. A few readers also confused Ena with the goddess(?) from the first chapter, that's that.

The Choose-Your-Own-Adventure that inspired this chapter is one of my favorites. I cannot resist that sappy stuff, honestly. From the very first time I read it I thought "That is 100% a backstory for a Warlock of the Archfey."
