Ugetsu's emergence: manga and booklet comparison summary!!
Sensei really took her time on this chapter- the message is extremely clear now we love to see 😋 I know not everyone has access to the first version of Ugetsu's emergence as it was a special for Given Movie dvd only; Ive received my vol 8 today so I'll share some major changes!
On manga the comic has a more darker vibe. Initially I thought it was the printing cause the paper is a different type from the movie booklet, but that wasnt it! The lines are much sharper, bold, and various items have been colored (ie. stove top) and rendered (ie. clothes)
The element of smoke/water and cigarettes are also more apparent with sensei adding and replacing objects; how he's essentially drowning himself in it
Other objects added would be a suitcase indicating he has arrived/ is in another country. The unkept suitcase could also indicate that he's flighty with his residence, which corresponds with how he canonically is jumping from hotel to hotel while in new york
And additional panels! Sensei adding an extra panel as well as redrawing the panel below it. It now features Ugetsu's eyes brightly redrawn (top) as he wakes up after dreaming of Akihiko
Another addition is a panel of him taking notice of a new notification on his phone, bending down to see who the message was from
A redraw (top) of this panel which now shows a small smile forming on his lip rather than the pensive look from the movie booklet (bottom)
An additional panel of him afterwards, now fully smiling
Lastly, a redraw (right) of this panel, much more detailed than the one from the movie booklet (left)
Thats all that Ive noticed at first glance! I'll share again if ever I notice something👁 Please buy the manga if you have the means to! The difference between cheri and manga releases is that the panels are more polished in the manga, things change and 🥳 VOL 7 ENG ON JAN 10, THANK YOU FOR READING!! Share your thoughts in the comments or by reblogging~ I love seeing everyones thoughts 🫶🏼!!

Time for another traditional embroidery mend! This time, we're trying out the Puncetto Valsesiano stitch, which, after I finished this up, I've found, is an entire style of needlelace! For this patch, though, we just did stitch after stitch after stitch, no fancy patterning. (I might do fancy patterning later, to be fair! been reading up on things, and I've got a few smaller repairs to make that would suit it quite nicely!)
One row of stitches in, and I was thinking, oh this can't be so bad! this is actually quite soothing, all these repetitive actions, and with such a delightful, knitting-like texture!
This many stitches in, and sure, I'm still having a good time, but mostly, I'm finding out how much thread this takes! Poor razz, @razzmatazic, I thought this was going to be a simple, small patch, so I borrowed her thread to work on this one! You can't quite tell in this shot, but I'm actually about to run out of thread!
After likely much, much more fuss than was strictly necessary, including accidentally picking a slightly different color of floss because of some mislabeled strands, noticing I'd dropped enough stitches to need to throw some extra ceylon stitching in a gap, and a probably pretty noticable shift in texture because of single vs. double threading, we've got ourselves a patch that, even despite its shortcomings, I really dig the look of!
Unfortunately, I didn't make this patch wide enough generally, so I've got a few more holes that'll be getting filled by a big 'ol sashiko patch that's going to layer overtop the puncetto, eventually! Stay tuned, I'm just as curious as you are as to how that'll look.

i really don’t care that much about the oceangate incident, but if y’all could stop just using the tragic loss of hundreds of refugees in Greece as whataboutism, that would be great
it’s gross and you clearly don’t give a shit about them outside of the excuse that it gives you to make fun of billionaires
