Hang in there, Joaz!

Three pages left to draw. Maybe the only motivation I really needed was to know I'd have another exciting project to look forward to when I was done...like the way I got a kitten when my previous dog was old so that I wouldn't have to be in the apartment alone when she died. XD I have to admit, I got a little teary-eyed when I did the rough sketch for the final page!

Anyway, probably won't have time to finish till next weekend.

I don't expect to put out the print version immediately. For one thing, I was thinking of drawing a couple of extras to go in it. (A shortish comic about Go etiquette for kids, for one thing.) And not going to do that right away, either.

In the meantime, I am thinking of putting a Paypal donation button on the page, now that I know I'm definitely going to finish. And/or maybe making a Café Press shop or something with Aji merch.(Not that I hear that's very profitable.) What do you think? Would you be interested in ordering Aji's Quest t-shirts or coffee mugs?

I am pleased that Aji translations are going on in German and Dutch, and I have recently given permission for a webcomic version in Polish. That makes Aji's Quest the most-translated thing I've ever done...

You have to ask?

I would be likely to buy an Aji shirt. Of course.

I promise that although I might be the first to say so, I won't be last.

I recently watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and sometimes it made me think of Aji's quest. Sort of an absurd journey with mountains and guards and monsters and dangers. I like the humor in both a lot..

Well...it's been almost two years since I started drawing Aji's Quest...

And now it's done. Pages 166-180 are up now!


Hope you have enjoyed this journey as much as I have!

Ah, that was a nice end. But sad that its over.

Anyway good job Inkwolf , I enjoyed every bit of it

Superb! Thanks again, inkwolf, for sharing this with us

But it's a fantasy quest, right? Isn't there a rule somewhere that says it's got to be at least a trilogy? So volume II...?

Thanks for sharing your creation. The comic was a very enjoyable read! (And it's nice to read a webcomic that actually ends every once in a while. )

Thanks, all!

The possibility of a sequel exists, ez4u, but don't hold your breath: I have several other projects that need my attention now!

Thank you, Inkwolf.

I loved your web-comic. Like others, I am sad to see it end. But I am also proud of you for ending it well. So many good ideas just seem to fade away.

I look forward to your next venture, whatever it is. Please keep us updated and linked, even though it isn't go related.

Best of luck!

It's not only that. Just today I received an email from a 10 year old girl here in Germany who was able to enjoy Aji in the German version "Ajis Weg":
(For me, "Aji's Quest" was the most interesting book about Go. The most interesting character is Master Tenuki, because he is so mysterious and wise.)

It was a great pleasure for me to translate the first chapters into German.
Unfortunately I became unfocussed and lazy. So there is still the same on my homepage as one year ago.
As everything ends (see e.g. Volume I of Aji's Quest), so maybe my phase of lazyness will do so, too

Thank you very, very much, dear Colette. I did not open the newest and final(?) pictures. I'll be brave and do so tomorrow. *sigh*

Cheers,
Rainer

Thanks, Goro, hope you like the ending! And thanks to your little friend, too! ^^

Aji's Quest is very creative, entertaining, inspiring, and whimsical. I have nothing more to add except to thank you for sharing Aji's journey with us!

I almost couldn't get myself to "Like" your final announcement post since it signaled the end. But there was no way I was going to get away with that idea!

Thanks so much for sharing Aji with us!

I have to admit that I was relieved to have it end, just because now it's certain that Aji won't be abandoned, never reaching the top. The story was really great, and it provided a good window into the subjective experience of life as a passionate but unseasoned kyu player. I'm certainly up for buying a print edition, and I just sent you a donation to say thanks for all the work that went into this.
