The original is actually quite big, but it's not taking the full size...

The doodle this week, like I said it would be last week, are the three Baylord Brothers. An assistant of mine who has been helping me out for more than a year now finally had to step down for personal reasons, and made their last request a doodle of the Baylord Brothers, so I drew one up for them. They worked hard helping out, and I only hope good things are ahead of them. Since I took so much time on a doodle for once, I also have a lot of work to do huhu. I'll finish writing up the afterwords and get back to work.

This chapter..

Ultimately, the battle at the Walls by the Cage ends like this. Well, this battle is not necessarily the beginning but more of a lead into the next battle, so it ended up dragging on more than anticipated. I mean, there are two whole walls. Since a lot of stories were going on at the same time, so things may have gotten confusing, but thank you to those who managed to keep up.

Kel Hellam is about as useful as a corpse in this battle haha. Is he really the one that faced off Evankhell and Yama last time? Actually, if Kel Hellam was able to actually do anything, Yasratcia and the 5th Corps/Army would be at a disadvantage. However, The Great and Mighty King Zahard decided that won't do and hits Kel Hellam with a balance patch. I mean, let's all forget about the fact that Zahard broke the balance to begin with... The MVP of this battle is not Yasracia or the Catborn, but Zahard himself.

Zon's death was planned from the start, but I think a lot of you who have been loving the Houndborn seem to be upset that both Zon and Gado died. This story is in part a story of Yama's growth, so I hope you look forward to how Yama rallies the survivors after his second and third in command died. I don't like killing characters, but the genre is the genre, so I have to do it often ㅠ

Ultimately, since there were a lot of unseen variables suddenly come into play in a manner disadvantageous to Evankhell and Yama, it's hard to say who won between Yama and Yasracia, or the Cage against the 5th Army. Actually, having the entirety of the Houndborn suddenly get mind controlled was such a huge liability. Perhaps the coming battles will help determine who would have won.

​As an author, I have a feeling the Nest Arc will become rather too big of a scale for a weekly release work, so I am quite worried. Sometimes I want to find an excuse and take a break but haha. I will try my best.

And as many of you may already know, but the Tower of God Animation has been anounced. Actually, I didn't know that they were really gonna do it until they announced it haha. I did have a few meetings and heard the progress reports every once in a while, but it seemed like it felt so far away.... Getting an anime for a webtoon doesn't happen often like it getting a TV Series or a Movie... There's almost no cases where it actually worked out. Actually, I don't have too many expectations, I am just happy I get to see RaKhunBaam live hehe. 10 years of working on one work, and you suddenly get a whole anime.

Now that I've given you good news, I will go back to working ^^. Also, on the weekly illness report, I'm starting to have doubts this is a throat cold. I'm going to see get seen by internal medicine instead of the ENT.

​Now, I, having increased in value thanks to a whole anime being produced (LIES), will come back next week with Yama, who has lost many Houndborn, and Baam. How will Yama and Baam forge through? Stay tuned. I hope you all stay healthy and have a good week. See you next time!

Thank you^^

​ps.

​On the anime production: This anime was picked among a variety of webtoons by investors overseas, made a contract for the copyright, and being produced (may not be exact). I thought it would be aired outside of Korea first, but apparently, it's going to be simultaneously released in US Korea and Japan. They told me it would be overseas first... haha.... At least I hope this anime project gets a good reaction, so that other webtoons get animes as well. I hope that day comes. So please don't look at is as just a Tower of God thing, but as a part of the direction the entire webtoon world is heading, and I hope you support the animated release and get excited for it. Me, the ever so pitiful getting this opportunity is all thanks to you. Thank you _ _ I hope only good things come from now on.
