I released my novel Kumotawa Confluence with moderate success last year. I didn't sell as many copies as I would like, but it did sell. I had a short trailer for it on release, but I felt I could do better. In the last year, the capabilities of various tools have improved quite a bit, and I've been able to vastly improve the art and provide actual animation now.
Kumotawa Confluence follows Yuriko, a former special‑forces operator turned convenience‑store manager, who becomes entangled in a rising supernatural crisis on Mount Kumotawa. When a mysterious cat leads her into the fog‑shrouded slopes, she uncovers a hidden realm of yokai, ancient legends, and a looming threat tied to a malevolent god. Joined by fellow veterans, a steadfast policeman, the Sword Princess, and a determined group of high‑school girls known as the Gun Girls Auxiliary, Yuriko must confront sinister forces as the veil between worlds weakens. The story blends Japanese mythology, modern action, and escalating danger as these unlikely heroes fight to prevent a world‑ending disaster.
The new trailer for the novel is shown below.
