Why every chapter has two editions

2026-08-23

Each chapter is published twice: as drawn panels with the narration lettered into the art, and as prose with the scene direction used as staging. It is the same chapter, not a summary and not a different cut.

The reason is mundane. Manga is read with your eyes up and both hands free; prose is read on a commute, in a queue, in the dark. Forcing one form on both moments loses the reader who is in the other one. The narrated video is a third door into the same room.
