Type and Pairing Information: What does a darker storyline mean? It means rated M for Mature, mainly for safety reasons. Additionally to (reduced) Fan Service there will be depictions of blood and injuries, which I will not, I repeat, not be hiding. There will be disturbing thematic in there. I will be tackling issues, that I do not consider to be something a younger audience should be consuming. That does not mean I will not be making it available to all. Everything that I consider to be safe will be accessible on here. Anything that I do not want to be directly viewable will be hidden with the mature function of deviant art. At this point, if you wish to see it, you will have to press a button and therefore confirm that you are aware what you will be looking at. That is all considering the type of the story.

This is not a romantic story and will therefore not be focusing too much on any development between characters romantically. For those who might be worried that there won't be enough: There will be. Enough to make it comfortable and believable. I repeat: There will be enough.
I'll make sure that the Pairings mentioned above will happen until the ending. Now, this might take away some suspense right from the start, but I rather not have a Shipping War breaking out in the comments or on my profile.

Regarding any other ships with the characters mentioned above, no, they will not happen, they just won't be. I am sorry.
For any crack ships or single characters that I am not investing in romantic development... I won't build them unless I feel there is chemistry. But go ahead and make your own fantasies, if my comic inspires you to.

Volume Information: For now, one Volume (physically 1 book/manga) is set in stone, that means roughly 140-160 pages. The story isn't done after that and will continue. Considering what I have finished so far and my story drafts, we might end up with 2-3 Volumes, which translates into roughly 480 to 500 pages.
I also might add an Extra Chapter to an Volume, which would increase the page count, but that is yet to be seen.

Additional Information: Concerning the Signature, it will be hidden somewhere in a panel and might be fun to look for.
Concerning the Watermarks, yes, they will be on each and every page, mainly because of issues with thieves. I am afraid that I cannot change this. Concerning Downloads, which is something that long time watchers might know, I do never offer them. This will not change for this project.

Concerning readability, for now, this project will stay on DeviantArt. I might switch it to an alternate site, where reading will be easier and faster, if I can find anything suitable, but DeviantArt is pretty swell, so I see no dire need to search for anything right now.

Special Information for the time the Project is finished:
Concerning my friends, who have been with me for a long time and have watched this project rise years ago and those that joined me later and gave input or just talked with me when I was overloaded with private and other stuff: Yes, I will be looking for a way to make actual copies for this. Yes, you will receive a copy. Consider it my sincere thanks for sticking with me. I am positive you know exactly, that you're meant.
Unsure? Don't worry, it still takes time until I am there... by the time I can confirm the print, I'll make sure to tell you.
