I hope you will all forgive the second to last panel, if it's too sappy for your liking. I really badly needed to draw these two being something other than depressed for a panel.
No matter how bad things get in your life, there's always hope so long as you're not alone.

These last few pages have been easily my favorite. The art, as always, is amazing, but the dialogue between the two over this entire scene is just as, if not more, amazing. The whole thing conveys the emotions so well that the characters have a voice I can hear in my head without really trying. I don't know how else to explain it, other than no matter how I read it, even from a writer's perspective, I'm having difficulty in coming up with any other way to do it. It's work like this that make me feel that graphic novels are such an underappreciated art form, in both visuals and storytelling. This isn't just some really long comic; this is a novel in pictoral form, and there needs to be more of this vein of art in the world.
Very good, bravo Rukis. Hope everything is going well.
Lets hope the characters can find a more fortunate future.
Let's hope the suffering will eventually stop,
but in the event the suffering doesn't stop....
do they simply adapt to that situation?
Would you know...sometimes, even sex with your wife or
husband, is like having sex with a stranger, when the 'love'
is gone.
But what is love? Is it a shoulder to cry on? or is it someone
who's willing to live as well as die for you?

poor kid, Imma hate to see what happens when his first comes along, it will make for one interesting plot twist and I predict one of the following: 1) Amon helps him escape and goes with 2) the brothel looses significant business cause of his inexperience and they all get moved or 3) the dragons come ashore and all hell brakes loose. whatever it may be I look forward to the continuation of it ^^
Its at this moment that I think Amon forgot that he is a 'slave'. He doesn't even have the ability to keep a promise like that because he doesn't even own himself. That's why its so odd to see people who grow accustomed to the kind of lifestyle he lives. Forgetting that his time is, at beast transitory, and at worse running out of a broken hour glass is what makes Amon's story so dramatic.
How nice for him and the tiger that the wind's of Change are blowing the sands of his glass this way and that...
I long to see where the wind will take them.
Kudos Rukis! Kudos indeed.

It may be good that a comic does this anyway, because now you get to see what it is about slavery that is the most unforgivable kind of crime and/or disregard for basic moral principals that could be done to a being. Not because it is attempted to own or break them, but because it facilitate a certain kind of mindset that is continuous throughout generations. Amon is maybe in his 30s, the tiger is barely 20 so already you are teaching the next generation of slaves that what is being done to them is ok.
Worse...Amon forgets that his time as the kind of slave he is has a certain time limit about it. Not too many people are gonna want to fuck the 50 year old canine with back problems. Good while you're pretty but at the end a slave that can't preform his/her duties is no better than trash...and we all know what happens to trash.

It would be somewhat acceptable if the looming sense of change wasn't foreshadowing that Amon won't even have the home he thinks he has casting shadows over things. Making a promise when you have nothing tangible or solid to hold that promise up with is basically a lie. And that's the tragic part.
Although I haven't commented on any of these so far, I really do look forward to every page. Both of your work on every panel is just beautiful, and the story so far seems like it could be rather sweet, despite their current situation.
I certainly look forward to seeing how it all pans out. :)

"we'll all be here to help tuck your prolapsed rectum back inside you."
"... you will? <3"
"promise."
"d'awwwwww~"
"yeah, the screaming sound gets annoying really fast, so we all do our part to stop it."
"..."
"come on, let's get back. my foxhole's twitching for more unprotected sex with sailors."

This is really cute. And I really love how Amon is looking up for the tiger (kinda forgot his name). That's really sweet of him to be there for him and to keep him from repeating the same mistakes, pretty much trying to give him the freedom he never had. That's what I call a true friend.
Reminds me of a lot of people in real life, including myself of looking out for me/them and trying to keep them from repeating each others' histories. I would definitely call Amon a true friend

As I've said from the start of this story. Amon is really a sweet guy and in no way deserves what he's been through his entire life. Some may feel bad for the tiger, yes. This sucks for him as well but my heart has always been there for Amon. He's been putting up with this from childhood! And through out all of the abuse he's still kind and caring to others. Here's hoping Amon finds someone that will show him love for once in his life. Maybe Luther? I guess time will tell.
Ok I don't know if any one has mentioned this yet because I don't want to read all those comments but I think your "prev" and "Next" button are backwards. The "Next" button sends me to page 71 and the "prev" button keeps me here. Just to inform you.
Oh, P.S. From I can tell, the two switch places from page 71 to this one. Just saying, I don't know if it was suppose to do that or not. XD
Still love the art! <3

This is exactly what people who are sexually exploited or raped need. They don't want someone to just run up and hug them, but reassure them that they are cared for and will be watched over.
I've heard stories before of married women who have been raped by someone, and as a result, they have a hard time trusting their own spouse again. Part of the reason that happens, though, is sex is demonized by society to begin with. We are taught to feel "dirty" about it. While rape is wrong, the horrible feelings afterwards are a result of a much larger social problem, and not of the individual. That's Social Psychology at work.
If the world had a more "Sex-Positive" attitude, and didn't see sexual activity as a bad thing, a rapist would be bad, but the rape-victim wouldn't be nearly as scarred over the experience.
Oh, and by the way, very nicely done page! XD

this may be a story but it says so much about the real world, that there are poor guys like these two who have suffered so much and are suffering just one form of great cruelty.
it makes you ask yourself how would you feel and what would you think when the realization dawned? i can honestly say i would have been sorely tempted to jump and a few pages back i was fearing that the tiger would do just that
