  Naomi is an 20 year old Native American woman who lives in Japan during the Edo period. Her parents moved to japan before she was born and opened a small shop where they sold flowers and seasonal fruits. Her parents were able to acclimate relatively well to japan despite their challenge with the language. When Naomi was 16 her father died and exactly two years after that her mother died.  Naomi is now 20 years old and running her family shop and tending the crops on her own.

In 2018 I started a comic on webtoons. I had a lot of hope in it but I usually have a hard time committing to passion projects that require a lot of work that I'm not used to doing.

It was tedious and challenging for me to draw and color at the time so I started in black and white and later added color.  SO! I came up with the idea to treat it more like a book! I'm going to suck at writing but I feel like it's less strain on my mental health to do one really good art for every 3 chapters rather than drawing every panel.

I'm going to start on it soon if you want to read the comic its here: https://m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-moonlit-odyssey/list?title_no=148090
