Chapter 238 is now up! The chapter actually came together really fast despite my own uncertainty about the chapter. It was a transition chapter so I had less of a focused idea on what was going to happen unlike the fights which were clearer in my head. But it all actually came out to be a lengthy chapter. Everything from Team Yumi closed up and I placed Team Yuki where they needed to be. Because of where they got, it is actually a really important chapter.

I actually did manage to have a more cheerful and humorous chapter after assuming that things would be getting too heavy for that sort of thing. Yuki manages to bring it out well and it was too perfect of a scene for him not to get excited. It was completely in his character to be jumping all over something like a secret passage. So I went with it. The whole thing pretty much just wrote itself. He knew what he was going to do and I just followed along. It is nice not to have to think about these sorts of things at times. It just coming out naturally.

Even though Yuki brought the comedy, it is pretty much the end of that. There is one fight that I can imagine that is going to have some humorous things, but that aside. Things will remain very serious. The first major fight is over with there being 8 more fights left to go. Every single character will be having their major fight. I have a little bit more setup to do with Yuki and Ayumi. I'm imagining it being another couple of chapters and then everything will hit the fan. When the next fight begins all of the fights will begin. That part will be very clear. It's going to be very chaotic soon.

One thing that I haven't done a lot of in the chapters is really get into a lot of details about things. I have been giving just enough to really get by. But Atlantis really deserved a good image. I had a couple of things that I really wanted to get across with it. It needed to feel grand beyond just a fantasy sense, because it really is massive as it does truly hold millions. The other part is that it needed to feel otherworldly because it was constructed in part by the powers they possess. So impossible structure exist and impossible beauty. It is the one thing that is going to be really difficult to put into pictures.

Enjoy!
