Dear Janolytes,
I sit here infused by chocolate, drinking my water, letting my new tattoo dry, and listening to Jennie’s Cd. I never listened to Black Pink before but the few singles that Spotify showed me since she had others with artist I actually listen to led me to her. Right now I’m 3 tracks in. I can YEET to this.

Anyway.

Obviously by the title of this issue you know why I am here. After 2.5 years it is time for issue 6 and the beginning of Act 2 of this story. Yep, the story i started back in the unemployment saga of 2016-early 2017 continues.

And true to Jano JRPG style it wasn’t simple. Levels 1 through 5 were done with no problem during my unemployment arc. I wrote Act 2 at some point and I had worked briefly late April 2017 until late May 2017 at cotton field 7 and 8.But since the cotton fields I were at didn’t require me to wake up BEFORE THE FUCKING SUN AND DID NOT INVOLVE PHYSICAL EXERTION, shit was good. I got laid off for a few weeks went back to work mid June to mid July 2017 at Cotton field 8. I had a Jano’s alive party, got back online and was unemployed roughly 9 weeks. I started working on Act 2 because if you have time to work on your craft without a slave schedule that what you do.

DUH!

I started at cotton field 9 early September 2017, and omg nigga my Knees. FUCK NIGGA MY KNEES. FUCK LADDERS!!! ON KAMI BRO!! And I had to be at work at 5 am.

I was so Weak in the knees like SWV, but not in the way they meant it.

I wish that was a typo, I really do. But that was the arc I was in.

Despite that I did my best to do my work.By Thanksgiving 2017 I had act 2 drawn and inked. I eventually started the coloring portion, which would be a task in itself since ya know ladders and a whack sleep schedule.

Spoiler Alert.

I got to Page 6 and then my house got broken into January 2018……yeah.
Depression, PTSD, and Anxierty are strong when it is the 2nd time. I hope those niggas die in a fire and life has made them suffer.

*Deep sigh*

Obviously niggas can’t color without a cpu so I ended up scripting Act 3 and 4 when i went back to cotton 8. Also working on Emerald Evisceration when I got my laptop back. At some point cotton field 9 let me go because of dumb white man fuckery, and eventually Cotton field 8 ended. So for 4 months I just worked on Act 3 and 4, chilled with friends, played video games, and took nature walks.

Simple Times Bro.

Eventually I had all of my story drawn, inked and scanned in. When this occurred in September 2018, i said I’m gonna relax.

And so I did.

The last week of Septemeber 2018 I went back to at Cotton Field 9 for 2 weeks, then eventually being at Cotton field 10.

Look I know there is alot of Cotton field hoping within a year and some months. I know. That’s a whole separate conversation and you can email me if you want to talked to me about it.

Anyway, once January 2019 hit I resolved to restart my book since super slave season was now over.

Simple right.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Cotton field 10 was me having to be at work at 6 am in a warehouse FILLED WITH FUCKERY. Holy fuck nigga the fuckery.
Side note I’ll be so glad to be done with this warehouse arc that started with Cotton field 10.

Despite my best intention I didn’t finish this issue until July 2019 due to fatigue and other things.

UGH.
Once I finished I released issue 2. I had this whole plan to finish an issue and release an issue. Which was good in theory, but life said

OH NIGGA YOU GOT PLANS? AIGHT BRO. Watch this.

I had the FULLEST PLAN to be done with this series in 2020, but that was certainly NOT the case.

Needless to say none of that happened and here we are me releasing Issue 6 years later. Everyone’s journey is different.

Side note, the aforementioned Jennie CD was really good. it legit just finished.

Anyway Azure Ascendance Level 6 is here and the synopsis goes as follows.
Following the tragic results with the fight with Hannya all parties head their separate ways to grief and process the events that led to their new reality. New characters are introduced as this new act unfolds to a new wave of chaos that surpasses the bedlam Hannya previously spearheaded.

I introduce a slew of new characters and give continue to give the characters a plot of their own as this story goes on. Its only 14 issues remaking after this so enjoy it while it last. Even if I wasn’t working these raggedy ass jobs I don’t know If i would continue it. Making a comic and DOING EVERYTHING IS ALOT NIGGA!!! I won’t say its not possible to continue but I will say right now at this current position I am in life its unlikely. There is a goal to get it animated tho.

At any rate its link time.
For a preview of level 6 take this pill.
To buy the issue after said preview take this pill.
If you have no idea wtf is happening and want to read the issues prior to this point take this pill.
And that’s all folks enjoy this tale that I gave my all to like Mariah Carey.
I need to pass out since I have still wake up before the FUCKING SUN and a cotton field that is more unorganized the past 11.

UGH.

On a positive note I beat Spider Man Morales since we last spoke. Yay.
I need to finish Final Fantasy 7, yes the same Final Fantasy 7 i was playing in 2018.
Don’t judge me

Dear Janlolytes,

Well this isn’t this awkward, not the Charles Hamilton Cd but like actually awkward. I haven’t said anything in a good few month since the season 2 finale. This isn’t public speaking, but damn I legit don’t know how to start this off.

Legit just heard a voice that said TAKE YA TIME PASTOR!!

For me that means I’ll just word vomit as Friday Night Plans plays in the background. OMG I love her so much.I do.

A lot has happened since the last issue. When I say a lot I mean a lot. This is my first Saturday when I have not left the house in fucking months. I will start off by saying I didn’t go speak at my homegirls daughters school like i was asked to, things got busy on my end. Maybe next time on DBZ I’ll get to inspire the youth with my JRPG level art journey. Now that will beyond awkward, for me at least. Spoiler Alert, I am not a role model ya’ll, I’m not….at least I don’t think so. But it is possible that I inspire someone the way anime and comics inspired me, and still do.

Money also inspires me, and not having to work at bullshit cotton fields.My toxic treat is that I hope the cotton field I shuck and jive at closes down and I’m not too tired to work on my comic series. And there ya have it folks the segue to what this issue is about.

Heavy Yeet.

I just finished an issue, so by Yeet Gawd logic I release an issue. It makes sense right? Side note, I legit finished this issue in 2017. Again I say I don’t know why I took so long to release it, but it prob was a good thing. One of my friends has been reviewing my grammar since I’m not smarter than 5th grader. See kids when you work bullshit jobs that don’t involve grammatical skills, you forget simple things like where do you insert a comma. I wish i was lying but NOPE.

As of right now she has reviewed issues 1-13. The next batch i send her will be issues 14-20, but that is when I’m completely done with this epic. I just finished issue 15 and as of right now I have 240 pages. Here is hoping the last 5 will feel like doing the first 5.

I hope.

My goal is to abstain from doing art shows and being a merchant as much as I can, because this past year I was really on tour. I can be satiated being out of the public eye to work on my magnum opus. Doing shows is a lot, a lot my nigga. We can talk about that next time tho. But once I finish this series in its entirety I prob will release issues in a faster method.

Did anyone go yay? Or is that feeling of ain’t no one checking for me correct.

Hey Google play Feel by Kendrick Lamar.

Sorry existential September is on the way and that wave has been washing over my ankles lately and my socks are drenched.

Shit.

At any rate issue 5 is here and thus the end of Act 1 of this JRPG level story.

Synopsis time.

Watatsumi and Kagutsuchi arrive and time to stop Abyssals rampage. But now they must face the one who is responsible for this ordeal. Secrets will finally be revealed as emotions fly high on the battlefield.

Of course it is available on Amazon.

And a preview of said issue is here.

That is it for now. The next issue will be ummmm Idk. I can’t say for certain when Season 3 will start, but at least you have 2 seasons to re read to hold ya over until then.

Kinda the way DBZ took forever to get to season 3 with the fight with the remain Ginyu Force members and Freeza.

FUCK, i promise it won’t take that long.

Spoiler Alert.
