   Feelin' accomplished & courages
Finally I finished Chapter0, now the manga is all caught up! I'm not too sure if I will be able to continue posting this series here due to lack of time, unfortunatly...I'm sorry. I'm still far behind updating my photography site x_x

So, if you like what you read, feel free to check out what's been happening after this at www.shichimeito-zoku.com I also have an "introductory site" that's good to check out if you aren't familar with the story/characters etc. www.roninyoshino.wordpress.com

Ronin Yoshino is kinda long, not an "epic series" or anything, I plan on it ending at chapter 10...which should be exactly 1 year from today! I'm kinda anxious to start writing new stories, I have too many ideas ^^; Since this is the "first" manga I did, I want to expand my style of art & subject matter. I may even go back to my old non-anime art style. It's a fun challenge which I really enjoy doing, I'm learning all along the way. If it's easy then it's boring, the harder it is- the more of a challenge & thinking it'll be! That is fun to me :P

   What should I do?
After I recieved a heavy bashing from my manga (for petty resonds) I got shacken up...now I get nervous about posting my manga. I know it's stupid of me but I can't help it, I'm a sensitive person (unfortunatly).

I regret the style I drew my manga, I think I've strayed too much away from my real style. I thought drawing a novel in manga/anime style would be an interesting experience but now I'm not so sure.

Now I just feel like ending Ronin Yoshino as quickly as possible to move onto something else...

   Finally!!!
Been a month longer than I wanted but I finally got the chapter 0 up!

I really wanted to re-draw the begining of the manga & I finally posted it. Took way longer than anticipated due to getting the hang of colouring with markers again & trying really hard for it to be good.

I'm still not 100% happy with it, but I'm my own worst critic. heheh, anyway~ new pages up both at my portfolio & at my website! :)

   Going on Haitus & Cool Stuff!
Unfortunatly I won't have the time like I used to to update every single page of my manga here. I'm sorry!

I've been offered to design logo's for the Ryu Shu Kan Dojo, film the Sakura Matsuri & I gotta get my manga & art together to sell. For the first time, my manga will be published into a graphic novel that I'll be selling in spring next year. The first editions will be selling at the Sakura Matsuri (Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival) along with my artprints & cels.

Oh yeah, Ronin Yoshino is now a part of the Ryu Shu Kan's Stony Brook's Japan Center! We are working together along with Gerard-sensei to help promote & encourge Japan enthuiest to visit the Sakura Matsuri! You can learn more about Japanese culture, traditional dance, music, Kabuki & martial arts! I'm the first person to introduce manga in the event (I can't beleive he asked me to do this!!!). He told me that he wants me to film the event professionaly & to have a booth to show Ronin Yoshino.

I'm so happy & excited about it! I can't believe that all my hard work & persiverance is finally paying off! With all the doubts about my manga not being good, I hated the idea of canceling it. Because I really love drawing & writing Ronin Yoshino, it's something that I always dreamed of doing & it's fun writing manga!

I relize that no matter what, to never give up on what I love to do. So, I'm sorry that I can't update my whole manga here but I will at the least post up the first chapter. Please visit my website next week btw, it's gonna have lots of new styles of art other than Ronin Yoshino (to add some diversity)! ^_^

   New page up & a busy time
Finaly I posted up the manga again on myotaku, sorry it took soo long :( I've been super busy doing my research & keeping up with updating the new pages on Tuesday's at my site...I kinda forgot about this site. ^^;

Perhaps I should make some anime wallpapers or more fan art here? Maybe some diversity in my portfolio may be refreshing :P lol

I gotta update my other 2 sites that I'm afraid that I may have to quit TheOtaku or go on haitus for a very long time...hopefully not but if I do-
Gomen nasai! =(

   Chpt.6 pg.14 up!
Just updated chapt.6 pg.14, a little messy chapter that took more work than I thought it would (my hand still hurts from inking all that in!) lol

I have yet to re-publish RY (RY- Ronin Yoshino) at my portfolio here. I'm trying to come up with a new art cover, with colour & to be real good.

Been working so much on this particular chapter that I haven't gotten around to the other stuff (I'm so far behind reading manga). Well, I'm off to find some inspiration!

   darnit...
I accidently deleted my manga from myotaku site...I was trying to change the cover but deleted everything instead.
*sigh* Oh well, I guess I should upload it again...(personally I keep wishing for the day when the InuYasha & Kenshin comments to stop).
TT_TT

I made Ronin Yoshino 8 years ago, long before I even heard of those 2 series…don’t mean to rant but, I can’t help but get tired of always being compaired to someone else all the time…& not getting critiqued on my art alone.

I’m sad about this still…but, I just gotta ignor it & move on with drawing what I love regardless of that! I have to remember to be confident in what I create!
