THE SUZUME PROJECT
－ザ ス ズ メ プ ロ ジ ェ ク ト－
a story about stories
What lies at the heart of creation
Shinzou Tojin has brought entire worlds to life.
But all he's doing is drawing, right?
They're just stories. No more than paper, and ink.Shinzou Tojin thought so.
And now, he'll pay the price.

- What is the suzume project? -
In Japan, popular animation or アニメ "anime" is most often adapted from comics or books, usually in the format of "manga" or "light novels".Book 1: Paradise is an illustrated novel that emulates this style, blending my own tastes with that of Japanese work.
I believe The Suzume Project has the potential to be taken forward as an animated series, but the Book is the foundation of this mission.
I can explore this world and these characters in a richer, more advanced way with both writing and visuals, and I'm excited to begin the first leg of the journey in the first title of this series;PARADISE.
Is it not too cruel, that we have the ability to envision places we'll never visit?I hope to take you on a journey that will share these feelings with you.

🎇"Our story begins... in golden lights"🎇
This is my absolute favourite illustration so far of The Suzume Project's very own cherry-blossom-haired protagonist, Suzume Fledgeling.
She's presented here in a rare somber, quiet moment, and I plan to show off just as much of our Samurai Girl having lots of fun and adventures!

- What's the plan? -
I will work with every intention to fulfil this forecast; but I have intentionally made it borderline unrealistic for myself. Dates & timelines may shift, but I will continue to update on my progress as more & more gets done.
