The Crowdfunder is almost set up; we're waiting on a few more things, and we're hoping to launch within the next two weeks. I hope everyone out there reading this is interested and checks us out.

Akemi is coming soon!
We plan to crowdfund it, but I'm trying a different crowdfunding platform than Kickstarter this time. We're going with FUND MY COMIC. I've heard some good things about this site, and I'm hopeful for the best.
