Information AboutKanami (webcomic) |
''Kanami'' is currently the most difficult of the Clone Manga projects, following the story of a Japanese girl by the name of Kanami. She lives her life in the hospital, because she is too weak to live without being cared for day and night. Because her brother and her mother don't have the ability or the energy to care for her at all times, she is committed to the hospital to recover. However, Kanami loves her brother so much that she acts before thinking sometimes, even running (despite her poor health) to go meet him on visitation day, in which case, she exhausted herself and became confined to a chair for the rest of the day. Kanami feels resentment toward her mother, and does not believe she even cares that she exists. This is best shown in the first several webcomics, where she calls her brother a liar because he told her that their mother was asking about her. Kanami has strange dreams and memories of people dying, or herself being left alone where she is left to possibly die on her own. FORMAT ''Kanami'' is done in shadow, which is the use of a heavy amount of black on white. To date, there has been no use of color. The detail involved with Kanami is great, with even the slightest of shading allowing the comic to increase in several levels of detail. While '' Paper Eleven '' had well-defined characters with overly simple backdrops, every panel öf ''Kanami'' has a varying degree of overhead, which makes the comic difficult to update, especially on a regular basis. Research, both for the comic's culture and Kanami's illness, further prolong updates. Originally Dan had a plan to release ''Kanami'' in chapters, possibly doing once-a-month updates. However, he seems to have come to terms with the fact that, simply put, ''Kanami'' is incredibly complex and difficult to update. As such, he does not usually set expectations of chapters of ''Kanami'', and instead releases several pages at a time, or sometimes merely one page at a time. |
