-THIS MANGA IS READ LIKE A TRADITIONAL MANGA, FROM RIGHT TO LEFT-
One idea I really wanted to do with this first chapter was to keep Skye's name a secret. Why? I wanted him to say his name after doing something cool, so as to make the name even cooler. Of course, said cool thing doesn't occur until the end of the chapter, but I don't mind. It creates this big annoyance throughout the chapter, one that I think afterwards people will get a laugh out of. I mean, this comic's been running over a year and the manga has yet to reveal the name of the Skye. You KNOW some people have gotta be laughing about it.
Oh, and since a lot of people have brought this up to me in real life... Skye is not a female name. It is a usable name for both males and females. The first time I heard the name Skye, it was on a male character; Skye the hawk from Grandia 2. He travels around with Ryudo (Who is voiced by Leonardo from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon!) and such. Skye was named after that bad-ass hawk.
