  Naomi is an 20 year old Native American woman who lives in Japan during the Edo period. Her parents moved to japan before she was born and opened a small shop where they sold flowers and seasonal fruits. Her parents were able to acclimate relatively well to japan despite their challenge with the language. When Naomi was 16 her father died and exactly two years after that her mother died.  Naomi is now 20 years old and running her family shop and tending the crops on her own. CHAPTER 1 The sun is high in the sky and the sun beams down warming the skin on Naomi's face. She tends to the flower bed filled with asagao when she notices a flower that had sprouted outside of the planter. She leans towards it "A kikyo? We don't have these anywhere in our field. How did it get here?" she thought. "For some reason this flower reminds me of my parents." Naomi recalled the last time her parents found a mysterious flower. Her father saw it as a bad omen and burned it. T

In 2018 I started a comic on webtoons. I had a lot of hope in it but I usually have a hard time committing to passion projects that require a lot of work that I'm not used to doing. So, this was like a trial comic because if you look at it and read it you can see where I got better at drawing and dialog. It was tedious and challenging for me to draw and color at the time so I started in black and white and later added color.  SO! I came up with the idea to treat it more like a book! I'm going to suck at writing but I feel like it's less strain on my mental health to do one really good art for every 3 chapters rather than drawing every panel. I'm high key excited because this story is really intricate but I was never able to finish it. I'm going to start on it soon if you want to read the comic its here: https://m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-moonlit-odyssey/list?title_no=148090
