Fun fact, this is the favorite issue of my collaborator Lottie!! This was a fun issue to draw and write, Lucy has become a favorite of mine the more she was featured in the series. I thought it would be a treat to see more of her life!
A pretty big transition for the series! We finally get to see a bit of Neo Moss City!! This is also where a lot of different developments are started and finalized! Plus, its the chapter with huge design changes for Bonne and Riva!
The more I think back to this issue the more I both like it and sort of feel ambivalent towards it. (Which is probably not the best thing to put in a description) But I feel as if this is a really important issue that sets up a lot of future plot points! Plus, we get to see Fema and Skul again!
The first meeting between Lucy and the main gang! Probably one of the chapters I was most excited to make. It's weird to think about, but the contact between a lot of the different characters has been somewhat minimal! So in a sense, it sort of felt like writing a crossover between two different worlds!
I consider this my favorite/most important issue of the series. After this issue, I am not sure if the series will ever really be the same? It also marks a lot of important artistic changes for my art-style! (In fact I was working on this very website while making this issue) In a way, I think this issue is a good ending to the series, even thought it's not an ending there's going to be a chapter 17. But it's a culmination of a lot of the arcs and development of Bonne and Riva, and in a way, it shows a lot of development from me as a creator. So enjoy this extremely dear chapter of Omnia Paratus~~
