AZUKI chapter 2 just dropped, which means orders for the ch 1 art print are now closed. The ch 2 print is available now (until ch 3 is out)! I love the idea of owning a print you could only get while the manga was being released in real time. Grab the ch 2 print here: azuki.com/shop/azuki-shop-ma…

Something I wanted to clarify now that the manga is out: Over the years, we’ve told Azuki stories in different formats. With the manga, we’ve found the format we want as the primary driver of the story. So what does that mean for things like the Shao 2.5D short? What’s “canon”? The manga is a new endeavor for me, especially on the writing side, so I wanted to maintain as much creative flexibility as possible. There were a few things I knew we had to preserve: the characters, the setting, red beans and gates, and the spirit of the story between the two sisters. Believe it or not, balancing all of those elements was already quite a task. But to tell the kind of story I wanted to tell in manga form, I ultimately decided to take things in a slightly different direction from what was portrayed in the Shao origin short. Here’s one way to think about it: In the manga industry, it’s common for a creator’s first version of a series to be a one-shot. They might submit it to a publisher, and if it’s selected, work with an editor to develop it into an ongoing series. What eventually gets serialized often differs in some ways from that original one-shot. You can see this in series like Naruto, Bleach, and many others. I see the Shao origin short as our “one-shot.” It established our core characters, themes, tone, and an early version of how the story might begin. The manga doesn’t stray far from those foundations, but some details have evolved now that Azuki is an ongoing series. So going forward, if you’re wondering which version of Shao’s story to treat as canon, it’s the manga. That doesn’t make the 2.5D short any less important. I see it as the story that helped us find our way here. An early version of Azuki that established so much of what still sits at the heart of the manga today.
