Anyway, I've also found the secret to actually writing a decent manga. There are a large number of certain elements you need to have in a story before it can even be considered a decent manga. I'm not saying "The Eighth Plain" has all the elements it needs, but it certainly has quite a few that I've discovered and administered.

It involves an intellegent school kid who happens upon a strange bow and an empty quiver. He takes it home, and decides to buy arrows for it later on, though to his surprise the quiver is filled with arrows the next morning. No later does he run to his rooftop and try it out on the unsuspecting clouds hovering in the sky. He resorts to random items and popcans on people's distant rooftops and finds his accuracy improving. It's not too long until he spies a strange pitch black bunny about one rooftop away. He prepares his bow and arrow tightly, pulling it back and pausing before making his attempted strike. Though little did he know, releasing that arrow would be the end to a normal fate.

So, I figured I'd feature my fans so far, or, well, the people who've recently read and enjoyed the story. They're great deviants as well, so people should check out their stuffs!



And plenty of non-deviant art folks! I feel that with time the story should get more popular, but no matter what, fame or unfortune, I won't forget about those first few fans who showed me that what I'm doing is not a waste of time!

Finally though, after a day of getting my mind back on track, I had a dream. I had quite possibly the best dream I'd ever have in my life. It was the dream that inspired my new manga story idea, "The Eighth Plain". In this dream, there was a boy with a bow. He lived both a modern life in his normal plain, with his clueless younger brother and sister, and another life involving multiple different plains. In the modern human plain, he finds himself able to break "Rules" set by ancient shamans of that plain. "Rules" are physical limitations to the body and soul, and keeps guidance and organization through the death and life process system. It's basically just the boundaries of the world, things like gravity ect. (Gravity is never broken, I hate the thought of flight in manga. lol)

Rules are often called seals, and are organized in numbered sections. So breaking a seal would be like "casting a jutsu" in Naruto if you're familiar with that manga. But believe me, this manga is subtle, will be focused on the skill aspect of it, much like Dragonball, apart from something like Dragonball Z (I used to love the show btw, but now I've grown away from it sadly). There are several plains in this manga, and in my dream, and this character soon discovered the horrors that can lie within them. The Corrupt.

The corrupt are a mysterious species of usually pitch black child-like looking creatures with normally large, round white eyes. They're wild in nature, but as will be seen in the manga can and will be friendly at times. Hardly anything is known about the entire race even by the ones who hunt them; The Tsurokai. The Tsurokai widely resemble humans, but they can be turned into one of the corrupt by simple skin contact if their own aura isn't strong enough. They're the only ones able to break Rules, or "Seals", and are the main species of the plot to this story. They have their own plain, and are widely resembled as hunters, using bows, arrows, swords, daggers, or even spears to get their kill. They can become invisible to humans and most of time they are, but cannot become invisible to the Corrupt.. The Corrupt hunt them most of the time, but as their numbers dwindle, their reserve gets stronger.

You'll be able to read this manga by simply checking up on the literature entitled "8th Plain". They'll be arriving in chapters, and I ask, if you do enjoy this story, simply let me know. It'd be awesome to know that you guys are out there. Read one or two and tell me what ya think, I'll be looking forward to it. And I may offer a surprise... Any hint will give it away, but I think you'd like it either way. Anyway, take care.

News~

The big 'Test' is coming up for Hanato, and in it, the story is going to progress to a whole 'nother level, trust me! There will be more characters, more happenings, more events, and more... GIRLS! Unfortunately, I can only think to call the event where Hanato must prove himself a 'test', since Exams was already taken by Masashi-sensei himself (Leave suggestions if possible). I've looked into the future, and have predicted the next 100 chapters of this uprising manga! It looks to be very good, hopefully rivaling Naruto itself! (But that's up to you guys). Anyway, it's only in story form now, I'm sure it'll be even more interesting when It's a manga.

What's to come...?

Spoiler alert ~ This is a bit of a look into the future, nothing too revealing about the story so far, so no reason to worry!

In the next few chapters ~ Hanato's faith in his sibling seems trapped within the reflection of his own faults. The waking call of the sun dawns, as one of them turns missing, and is nowhere to be found. "won't you please stay" Belows from the wind, as the response echoes back "Why won't you go away?" Two paths torn into one, and buried along the harsh road of change and reality.

Read on fateful viewers, read on...

Anyway, passed that, I'm finally getting a Wacom Graphic pen within the next week! This will enable me to draw all my drawings online! So I'll be entering CG drawings and stuff from now on as well. So, I have a proposition for you all. If you read and comment on one of my chapters, I will draw any character you want for you (Ya, that's right, I'm desperate). It's not that I think I can draw better then you, it's just that you may be curious to see how I persieve the character that you've created. I'll of course give the credit to you for the character design and everything.

Now that I'm starting back at writing, I just want a legion of people to know and to follow me as I write, so I don't feel like I'm doing to for nothing, or talking to no one. It can get pretty lonely when you enter a piece and it only has one view. o.q So I'm hoping you'll all take the liberty of checking out at least a fw paragraphs before turning the read down. I think Naruto fans would come to like it. Anyway, time for news!

I suppose that's all I have to say 'for now', but let me know you guys are out there, kay? ^^

~Practice makes perfect.

News

Well, I've created my first three chapters so far since I've joined, and I must say, it's better to do it around an audience than it is to do at home for no reason. I like to hear reviews that not only help me in my developement, but show me how I can get better, and what's good enough to keep. I'm looking for alot of watchers, and would love alot of reviews and critiques on my work! Keep in mind, though I may be a writer, I developed this skill only for a way to get the story from my manga written before drawing it.

What's to come...?
