Sure people have noticed already, but I've finally decided on a name for the project:

'Mikumo v Shigure: Dawn of Ecchi'

would you all prefer that I upload images from the main fight (drawn by mikazukishigure) as I get them?
or would you rather I upload them when all of the pages are complete?

(I'm asking because it will be quite some time before the fight is completed)

It seems that people like the images.

mikazukishigure was glad to know that his work was appreciated.

It's fun working on the fight choreography. My goal is to make sure that the sequence of events is easily understood/discernible.

I apologize for the pages being out of order - I have been looking over & revising the choreography.

But now, I am happy to report that I am finished with the choreography. It's now just a matter of having mikazuki draw the pages.

The fight itself is 29 pages long.

There are to be 10 pre-fight pages - 5 manga-style & 5 coloured. These pre-fight pages are meant to establish the setting (a beach - Shigure chose there to slow Mikumo down, & scattered several weapons in the sand to limit her mobility) & give a sense as the ladies' skill levels.

There is also the post-fight image-the one done by 'magicalondine'.

So that's 40 pages in all.

I don't consider this to be a spoiler since I shared my initial draft for this fight quite early on in this forum post (plus it's easy to tell from the pictures shared so far), but Mikumo is the victor of this fight.

Mikumo is the 5th strongest character shown in the series & the strongest woman by a wide margin. I really wanted to have Shigure win, but I couldn't think of a way for her to do so outside of the paralyzing needles that she carries in her choker (and she has never used them against a master-class opponent) - and that feels like a cop-out.

If any of you have any ideas as to how Shigure could win this without it feeling like a cop-out, feel free to share.
