About

Song magic prodigy Nalini runs away from home to find a cure for the ailing forest surrounding her home.This is a webcomic about the beauty of music and saving the world with your unconditional love.
I make this comic for myself, but you can read it, too.
You can read it for free (cut into shorter episodes on Webtoon Canvas); however, it is intended to be read chapter by chapter, and I release it like that in PDF format for my supporters on Patreon as soon as I finish a chapter, along with WIPs and liner notes. Individual chapters can also be purchased in my Patreon shop.
All links are on this carrd.

Trigger warningsThis is a pretty soft comic; however, it does include, all at one point or the other:very mild fantasy violence, mild suggestive language, mild blood, occasionally less mild blood, and occasionally implied animal death.Specific warnings precede individual chapters/episodes.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Hallie, Saji and Kitty for answering stupid questions about Chinese honorifics and naming; Petra and Namio for art; Namio again for sharing their enthusiasm and knowledge about Chinese mythological creatures and gege memes; Cray and Lune for bravely beta-reading; my Patreon supporters for obvious reasons; and last but surely not least my consultants Kayla, Georgina, Zhui Ning, Richard and Lune again for encouraging me, answering all the other stupid questions, brainstorming, and bearing with me with infinite patience.All remaining bad ideas and decisions are 1000% my own and they had no part in it. I’m also aware that their willingness to work with me does not equal endorsement; that none of them speak for their entire cultures, and that their feedback is exemplary, not representative. I am, however, infinitely grateful for all of them for indulging me, anyway.
