“Our youngest (non robot) recruits. Goro, Ken, and Koromaru all navigate a similar set of skills on the battlefield, although getting Goro and Ken to cooperate might prove challenging due to their conflicting personalities. Further data must be collected to prove hypothesis.”

Our first break from posting as I try to finish up the comic and it’s references! I teased to these in my story, hehe, they’re gonna be uploaded in 4 sets of three, and I’m really excited to show these off! For anyone who wants a clearer image, don’t fret, as soon as the chapter is done our Discord server for Killer in the Mirror will be going live!

Enjoy! And have a great day!

Killer in the Mirror References: Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Shinjiro (click/tap for better quality!)

“The Ice Queen, the White Wolf, and the Moon’s Shadow. The three founding members of the Shadow Operatives, led by Mitsuru Kirijo herself. It didn’t surprise anyone when the head of the Kirijo Group insisted on her two best friends being seconds in command within the Operatives, and no one could question her choices either. Akihiko and Shinjiro Aragaki-Sanada are both formidable opponents within the Dark Hour, Shadows don’t expect to get punched into smoke and ash or made into a concave glob of goop.”

Day 2 of KitM references and this time we have the Senpai Squad!! Along with a little ✨ reveal ✨ regarding Shinjiro, hehe. I can’t really add on to what was explained in his reference, because if it wasn’t mentioned there it’ll likely be mentioned in the comic!

Regardless, enjoy! Have a great day!!

Hey so I was actually told by several people to start posting my Akechi Palace AU comic “Killer in the Mirror” here on Tumblr. As Chapter 1 is nearly done on Instagram I decided, eh, why not!

Killer in the Mirror is an Akechi Palace AU- however, it spans over a long period of time. It’s split into two arcs, the first one being called “The Dark Hour Arc”! It was started just cuz one day- I wanted to tell my story and now I’m nearly done with chapter one over on my Instagram!

—

It can be a *bit* confusing at some points, so here’s some things to keep in mind before you keep reading:

-The majority of the Spin-Offs are canon, ones of note are Strikers, the PQ games and Arena/Arena Ultimax

-This kicks off almost immediately after Strikers

-This is a Twin AU! Both Minato and Hamuko Arisato exist in this timeline, although you can probably guess what happened to them

-this is also a Shinjiro and Chidori live AU. This is important :]

—

Along that there are other neat little things in here I’d rather not spoil- I just really hope y’all enjoy my self indulgent passion project! I’m gonna be posting all the updates from Instagram here today and then go to normal posting schedule tomorrow :]

(Will warn y’all like the better part of the first half wasn’t scripted and it SHOWS I’m so sorry-)

“The second year S.E.E.S recruits were always subject to some bickering within the Kirijo Group. Some thought they would be valuable assets during the Dark Hour, others called them hinderances on progress, but the surviving members only blew expectations out of the water as time went on. They’re all incredibly adaptable, with a wide variety of skills, and with each of them fighting within different groups when taking on Shadows their bonds become clearly evident- 8 years of fighting together within the Dark Hour gives one a sort of mind reading- anticipating an enemy’s move is one thing, but an allies is something else.”

—

Day 3 of references!! This time with what is left of the Second Years!! These were honestly the hardest designs to draw 😭 Besides Aigis anyways but- GOD I HAD CLOTHES FOR ALL OF THEM BUT ACTUALLY COLORING IT IN??? AGONY-

Thankfully there’s just one more update, and then the chapter will be over on Saturday!!!

Enjoy, and have a great day!!!

KitM Chapter 2 Part 22/22

AND ITS OVER! And on a cliffhanger too, because I like keeping y’all on the edge of your seats 😌

My god. If you had told me last year that I’d be making a daily comic over here on Instagram that people enjoyed, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’ve struggled a lot with dedicating myself to large projects like these in the past, but now? I’m so happy I HAVE committed. I’ve met such wonderful friends thanks to Killer in the Mirror, and I can’t imagine my life without these people now.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, from the die hard fans to the casual readers, you’re all *incredible!*

As for Killer in the Mirror, we will return this Friday, March 4th, with the next update! See you then!!
