Lost by a day.. On a dead serious note everyone in the real world should learn CPR as it is extremely useful! As always, thank you for reading.

Note: There are some textless panels in 264-265 - you'll know when you scroll over them and no yellow box appears (not even an empty one)

Thank you so much for waiting and checking back patiently. I am taking a sabbatical from regular work to draw comics. Only in time will we find out how much of an improvement this is.. However this plan does include finishing HERO by hook or crook (on average a page a day, although assembling them and writing the script is still causing epic time paradoxes)

Also rolling with the times I have been posting (mostly Three Kingdoms/Sengoku/cat) art on tumblr, if historical/cat art feels relevant to your interests then this link may be of use.. But seriously thank you for continuing to read and find out what happens next, and I can only hope the actual results live up to your expectations. Thank you so much.

Welcome back. I have no excuse for letting almost a year elapse since the last update, except that I simply could not believe in the story I had planned for the next couple of chapters and also found much happiness in drawing other things. Up to five minutes ago I was indeed still rewriting dialogue, some things never change..

one of my new year resolutions was to finish HERO by the end of this year. I can hear you laughing in the back there!! also thought I had three chapters to go instead of four. never mind will do what I can.

for the record I LOVE CATS, "I Am Maru" is one of my favorite celebrity blogs.
