For Evergrace's 25th anniversary today, I worked on this fancomic that had been swirling in my head for the last several years. I always joked it off saying I "had no idea how to make doujinshi or comics," but somehow this came into existence anyways. I hope you'll enjoy it.

I hope to make a physical version with art contributions from fellow artists to raise even more money, so look out for that in the future!

This comic is pay what you want, with all proceeds from this comic going to:

50% towards Pals4Palestine (a local Vancouver artist-led community initiative that I'm part of to support Wessam's family in Gaza)
50% to the Lapu Lapu Day tragedy in Vancouver, Canada (of which there are no official fundraisers yet - if no donations are needed this will go towards Filipino BC's Filipino Cultural Centre fund). As of May 3rd, 2025 these funds will now go to Filipno BC's Kapwa Strong fund.
Or you can just donate to those places directly and click the "Read here" button below.
Canadian customers can also just e-transfer me at pearhi at hotmail dot com.

Proceeds will be donated on a biweekly basis if we even get that many sales haha
