This post is dedicated to the artist called Guweiz who did all of this drawings. One of his recurring themes is this samurai girls, under a seemingly endless rain. Doing who knows what, at what seems to be the outskirts of a flooded modern city. Some part inside me remembers waking up early in autumn mornings, to walk the way up to high school on days like that. And that specific kind of magic. Lots of grunge.
This one above summarizes the essence of the ¿setting? perfectly for me. It's title is Countryside. Notice how there is a constant presence of that warm lights around the girls. Sometimes its pendants, sometimes butterflies. Sometimes lamps. As if that light hold a great importance to their survival or the missions ahead. Maybe that is why our girl came to the countryside now; to gather a little light for the road ahead.
There is something that speaks to me in this world. What kind of plot or setting would it had if it was an RPG? would this girls be the PCs or the Monsters? what do you do in a world like that? Is it a normal autumn in our world, or is it another one, smaller, where the autumn never leaves? Where you put a lamp on your door to keep your home safe from whatever is lurking there?
Notice the giant oni armor at the background. Did she just beat him? is he pledging service? or just a dead cask that happens to be there? Whats going on in this city?
Is it all in the end a metaphor for teenage life? Why so many girls? And how do they get their XP? If you have any ideas of what this setting could be about, please tell me.
