We announced a week ago that work has begun on the second and concluding volume of Samurai Chef, and we’re getting ready to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the new book in March.

Before it launches, we’ll be putting up some great character artwork by the Samurai Chef illustrator Pinali.  Take a look at some of the characters making an appearance in the next chapter of the story.

First up is the Samurai Chef.  The toughest food critics around, the Samurai Chef is the main protagonist of the Samurai Chef story and in volume 2 he’ll be up against tougher dishes as the show continues to escalate.

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #6

In case you missed the comic preview over Christmas, you can still check it out right here:https://www.mayamada.com/samurai-chef-preview

And if you liked the first few pages, please take a moment to thank our artist Pinali on Twitter (@Pinalinet) for her amazing work on the Samurai Chef comic.

This week will be of special interest to backers of the Just Desserts perk as we can now reveal the New Samurai Chef t-shirt design made specially for the project.

 

Samurai Chef Indiegogo T-Shirt Closeup

 

The design features the, err…watchful…face of the Samurai Chef alongside the bold lettering “Samurai Chef” in Japanese.

It’ll be available in both men and women fits and be on your way along with the book itself.  Expect an email in your inboxes soon asking for preferred sizes before we make the print run next week.

 

 

Samurai Chef Indiegogo T-Shirt

 

For those that didn’t select this perk but are wishing they did, we’ll be making a limited run of the t-shirt and will have some left for purchase.

We’ll let you know the details of how to get them in the coming weeks, but you will have to be quick! Once it’s gone it will be gone forever.

We’re very close to the end now we can taste it…no pun intended!

 

See you again soon with more updates ahead of the book’s release.
