Hello I am RYO!

First I have to explain two things first

1: I have changed the title of the manga from this time onwards.
You can read about the reasons for that at the end of this post

2: I decline to receive reward (votes) in my manga and artwork due to my beliefs.
See this post of mine for the reasons why👇
I regained my true heart
@ryo-6414/i-regained-my-true-heart

This is the latest chapter of my original manga -MAYA of the Ayakashi:妖- that I'm currently working on!

This is the story of a Ninja girl Maya and a Japanese Yokai=妖怪(or "ayakashi" as they are called).
The Yokai are "spiritual beings" of legend that have existed in Japan since ancient times.
Their legends are preserved in many old Japanese documents and I was very much fascinated by their mysterious world.
This is the story of their mysterious and unique world that fascinated me so much!

This is the last page of the previous chapter!↓

Chapter 6 END

In this chapter, I especially incorporated some of my favorite old Japanese traditions and lore.
Kagome-song is a Japanese song that is hundreds of years old but has so much mystery and horror lore.
I love listening to this song because it makes me feel like I'm entering a magical world.
And I like the legend of the fox's mask too, because it is linked to the Yokai.

Kagome-song👇

Well…
I changed the title of the manga because I wanted to refresh my mind.
I've written all about why here👇
I regained my true heart
@ryo-6414/i-regained-my-true-heart

I wanted to incorporate more of my old favorite Yokai stories into the story because I could hear the my true heart's voice.
So the story gets a little disjointed, but I decided to prioritize what I wanted to draw more of. (But so far the stories in chapters 1-6 are all connected.)
Anyway I am looking forward to seeing myself how I will portray the story in line with my true heart's voice from now on

I decline reward and deleted the Twitter account I was using to promote my manga and artwork.
So…I'm just going to focus on my life's work. that's all!
