New chapter's up. Going a bit "lighter" this time without going into "filler" territory. Also updated the glossary with words and names from this chapter and the last few that I forgot to add. If I forgot any terms, let me know.

This arc looks like it's going to be interesting!

So, apparently my knack for pulling something out of my butt and using it in the story, then having it turn out to be factually relevant strikes again. Yachouon's bells were modelled after Western-style handbells. Hand-held bells in Japan are generally the spherical "jingle-bell" type, whereas dome-shaped bells tend to only be large temple bells and are roughly cylindrical rather than flared at the bottom. Therefore, Kakyou and Genkyou were seemingly out of place. Buuuut, I've recently been informed of the existence of something called kongourin, which are Tibetan monks' handbells, and are of comparable shape to Yachouon's bells. What's more, the ones featured on that website come as a pair, one silver-plated, one gold-plated. One would almost get the impression I knew what I was doing. |

New chapter is up. There was an observation that Myouga seemed like a bit too much of a plot fairy here, but that was intentional, because that's exactly what he is in the original series, and dammit I'm going to make use of that when need be.  Also, only 4 more chapters until I hit 100. Aggggh. Hopefully whatever happens in chapter 100 is important and exciting. |

Well, chapter 99 is up, meaning the next one is the big 100.
The question is, should I do anything special for this chapter? I'm not going to try to shoehorn anything into the plot of the chapter, so the content of the story itself will remain on-target, but is there anything extra I should do? Some sort of commemoration image, a special format to the chapter, or anything else people might suggest?

You don't have to do anything special, but I think if you do, extra art's always good.

Aaaand here it is, chapter 100 is up! As per request, I kind of went overboard with the chapter images this time around, as there's four in total.
I'm actually glad chapter 100 ended up being the first completely "feel-good" chapter since the side-trip to the city back in chapters 76-79. I tried to go light with the Wakage story, but that one ended up falling into heavier territory than I was originally intending. So this time around I did it right. Pure light-hearted fun with no existential angst whatsoever.
To quote the Eleventh Doctor in one of his rare moments of wisdom: "You're thinking, 'What's the point of letting them be happy now if they're going to be sad later?'. And the answer, of course, is: 'Because they're going to be sad later'."
