so....heres the story for the manga im trying to publish. ive worked out the character sketches and decided what they should look like and i'm starting on the panelling. i thought id post the story.
eighteen-year-old Korrentai and his twin brother, Frea, walked down the grassy path at the forbidden river. korr had chin length red/brown hair, dark blue eyes and wore a deep green kimono. frea had blue/white waist length hair that he kept in a tight braid and wore a dark blue kinomo. as they walked down the path, the rivers current grew stronger untill it turned to rapids. suddenly a body floated to the surface and was pulled down beneath the crashing water again. it was a girl no older than sixteen. "someones in the water!" korr shouted and dove into the rapids. beneath the waves she lay unconcious, her foot tangled in river weed. he freed her foot from the weed and wraped his arms around her waist, kicking at the water untill he reacked the surface. korr burst threw the water and gasped for breath. he swam the girl to shore and frea pulled her from the waters. "who is she?" frea asked. "she must be from a different village, ive never seen her before." korr replied. on her necklace was a key, and tatued on her ankle was the name yukiru. yukiru opened her eyes to daylight. she sat up. her red curls fell in front of her face hiding her sea green eyes. she was wearing a blue kimono and was laying on a fold up rug in a beautiful japanese room with red birds painted on the walls. "where am i?" he asked. the door slid open and a little girl walked in. she had jet black hair pulled back into a pony tail and wore a red kimono. she was small and couldnt be more than seven years old, but her eyes seemed to tell a different tail. they semmed to make yukiru think she was older, much older. "youve been asleep for a long time, its about time you woke up." she said and handed yukiru a bowl of rice. "who are you and where am i?" she asked. "i am danish, and your in the house hold mizumotto, welcome honoured guest." danish replied and bowed. yukiru bowed her head and began eating her rice, "but...who am i?" she asked. "you seem to have a nasty bump on your head...you must have a case of memory loss....." danish said to herself more than to yukiru,"the tatoo on your foot says your name is yukiru, my master korrentai found you half drowned in the forbidden river."

"what do you meen she's dead!" a girl who had black hair, black eyes and was wearing a black kimono whimpered to her father, a tear rolled down her cheek. "i'm sorry, antique, but yukirus dead. she...she drowned...." her father said. he sat on an ivory chair and wore royal robes. he seemed almost pleased that his second daughter had 'died'. "did you check the river for her body, has anyone even looked for her!" antique yelled angrily. "her body was found floating down stream from where he tried to kill her." the old man replied. antique stormed from the one room building. as she left a man standing outside the door followed closely behind. he was dressed in black and had purple hair, he wore a glove concealing his left hand. "mistress antique, is there anything i can do-" he began to say but anitque cut him off. "i vow i will kill korrentai to avenge my sister, and your going to help me, atlas." atlas nodded, "whatever pleases you." he replied.
