It’s been a while since the end of our fund raising campaign and we’re sorry for not providing an update on the progress of the project.

The main news to report is that the book is unfortunately being delayed by a few months.

The book artwork is in progress but this means the printed copy of the book itself will not be shipping until February 4th 2013.

We’re really sorry to have to push things back, but we will be releasing the other perks of the project over the next two months before Christmas.

This includes the t-shirt design in December, the complete PDF version of the manga in mid January ahead of the release of the printed book itself in early February.

Starting today, we’ll send out updates on the project every two weeks. You can expect the next update on Friday November 9th.

For now we have a sneak peek at two of the new characters you’ll be seeing in the Samurai Chef book: Jimi and Mary. Both will be featuring in the book along side the Samurai Chef himself.

 

Jimi

The host of the Samurai Chef.  Jimi provides play by play of the action in his unique flavour.

Mary

Samurai Chef production assistant.  Mary does work across different shows including some clean up tasks.  And there is plenty to clean up on the Samurai Chef!

 

New Project Dates

Again, we’re very sorry the project is being delayed, but stick with us and we’ll make sure you’re not dissapointed with the final result.

So, here are the important dates to remember:

• Monday November 26th: Badge sets and artwork done.
• Saturday December 8th: T-Shirt available for release.
• Tuesday December 25th: Online manga preview of the Samurai Chef.
• Monday January 14th: Complete PDF version of Samurai Chef available.

Thanks again for backing the Samurai Chef and see you again in two weeks 🙂
