Sorry, I’ve been recently waylaid by other projects, but I’m finally back again with a few more esoteric recommendations this time. I’ve been trying to find mostly completed projects as having to wait for the story to finish is never fun. Though honestly, if you haven’t at least looked into everything I mentioned last time, [...]

Kotaro is a young boy being chased by the Mings. With him is his dog, Tobimaru. Through their running and hiding they come across a nameless swordsman.
