Soon my work contract in Japan will end! These two years have been a blast, but I feel it's time for me to return to the United States. But before that, I will travel around the country sightseeing and doing fun stuff with my friend. Then I will move back to my home state to spend time with my family and get my possessions in order. After a week or two (or longer) of that, I will move to a completely different state to be with friends.

So basically my life will be incredibly chaotic starting the last week of July until possibly late August or September. Unfortunately that means I don't really have the time to work on Slightly Damned. Even though the story is planned far in advance, pages are time consuming to make! July 16 will be the last Slightly Damned update for at least a month. Updates will resume as usual no later than September 3rd! ...unless something goes horribly wrong. It'll probably be fine.

However! I'm not going to leave you guys high and dry with nothing to read during the hiatus. As sort of a make-up present and also as thanks for keeping Slightly Damned's ranks high on Top Web Comics, The Legend of Buwaro: Soprano of Time will take the main comic's place while I'm gone. You don't have to vote for SD on TWC if you don't want to (although it is appreciated!). A new strip will go up here on the main site every Saturday automatically. When 5 strips have been uploaded, I'll consolidate them into one image and upload them to [deviantArt]. While that means that strips 16-25 are effectively freebies, that also means I won't be uploading the strips up to dA individually.

Sorry for the relatively short notice. I'll actually be online about as often as usual until the last week of this month. It's just that my time has been taken up by planning, good-byes, packing, and other logistics. After I've moved to my new home in September, I'll have tons of time to dedicate to art projects like Slightly Damned.

Thanks for understanding! Have a great summer!
