The next page is now up.
Read all four pages here. You'll need to register, due to some mildly controversial subject matter coming up in the storyline. Eventually (when I've completed enough pages) there will be offline readable versions as well.
I might be able to get another page done tonight. This last page had some nasty tricks in getting the puddle reflection to work right, and I'm still not completely satisfied with the final result. (I use DAZ Studio to generate images and Manga Studio for page layout and lettering, with occasional ventures into Cararra for landscape and 3d modeling, in case anyone is wondering.) But there's nothing too complicated about the next few pages, and the dialogue script is already complete for the whole chapter (plus several chapters to come).
Which means (for those of you who have completely fixated on only one aspect of this manga) that the ninja will probably show up before the end of the weekend.
