This is purely a non-profit fan project, but I’ve decided to finish telling the story of TRIBE NINE to the end.
I understand that this may not be the ending everyone truly hoped for—but if I can create a compelling story, maybe it will spark something new. I’m aiming to make it that good.
It’ll be released for free, so I hope you’ll read it. I’m also thinking carefully about how to present it.
I promise you this: I won’t let TRIBE NINE end in a way that makes loving it feel like a mistake or something to be ashamed of.
It’s been over 20 years since I’ve done creative work without receiving any compensation, but if I’m doing this, I’ll give it my all.
Well, I’ve been wanting a hobby anyway, so I’ve decided this TRIBE NINE fan project will be it.
For those concerned: I’ll be working on this during my free time or days off, so it won’t interfere with my actual job. No worries there.
Since this is a non-profit endeavor, translations may be difficult—I may seek the help of volunteers in the future. If so, I’ll make an official announcement when the time comes.
This time, I’m offering this story to you for free.
But, if there happens to be someone out there thinking, “I still really want to support you financially!â€â€”well, buying Hundred Line or its merch sends revenue our way! 😄
Just putting that out there loud and clear!!
