The Way is finally off to the printer! Thanks so much to everyone who has written encouraging e-mails about this project. Orders are now being accepted, and how many people are interested makes all the difference! If there are no fans who want Christian manga, then it will never be made. I've dropped almost $2,000 of personal money into this project because I believe that Christian manga fans are out there. This is the Christian Anime Board's chance to prove that there is an audience that wants to see Christian manga. If we come together and put our spending where our mouth is, we can have the chance to bring about more and more art that points to Christ.
A last thought: I know we're all into anime, but if there isn't even an audience for Xian manga (which is pretty easy to make), who's ever going to gamble the millions of dollars needed to make Anime that embodies the gospel?
For those of you who've been burned by crappy Christian art in the past... a much longer preview will be going up this week. The Way is the real deal...
