Current...
This is really just a mirror site. We recommend you read the comic on Drunk Duck (http://www.drunkduck.com/Ishi_Alliance) or on our website (http://ishialliance.orgfree.com/).
Based on the adventures of the assassin group called the Ishi (stone) Alliance. Comprised of Tsubiui, an angry elf; Anita, a ditzy vampire; Jack, a mysterious womanizer; Tsumura, a playful okamijin (or wulven); Cynthia, a bitter ninja; and Kuroshina, a foil to Tsumura. Together they are out to get Malik, a warlord ruining the land with his tyranny. On the way they encounter their harsh pasts as they travel in search of the special stones needed to defeat Malik. (Mature mainly due the the antics of Jack, among alcoholism and innuendo)

Ok, so I haven't updated news since 2006 ( >_>)
Sorry!
Well, we've been working and going to college now, but we're still trying to do the webcomic. The best parts are still coming up so I hope you guys will continue to enjoy it!
I'll update some pages as filler until school starts and Ryuu and I can organize the next volume. Fanart would be appreciated to fill that... Not that I expect any by now (^_^; )
SORRY for the long wait. I was actually out with friends and I was quite distracted (owie) but all's well that goes away, right? I got a cold in the summer! (@_@) That's really no excuse, tho, so sorry.
Good news, tho! I got a hamster I named Devlin! He's so cute! Maybe as filler I'll put up a picture of him. How's that sound? XD
Now for the bad news. Volume 2 isn't ready (tho I got the cover). So... long intervals between updates. (T_T) I've been photoshopping pg 110... still... I know I'm slow but I hope you like it. Perhaps I'll do the other pages, or a few panels every once in awhile to spice things up?
Vortex hisses her S's. ... Tsu seriously scares me on this page. (O_O) Lol.
Sorry for another messy page. May as well just get through this section, though.
And yes, just one page today. I've got about ten pages left in this section, and this is the last part of Volume 1. I want to drag it out so you can get some updates while we figure everything out. It's hard to communicate with Ryuu over summer break and we never see each other to work on the manga, so otherwise I'd probably have to resort to a hiatus. We need to get the next Volume ready. Ryuu finished drawing it not too long ago, but we still have to shade it. I can't wait, because it's in her newer style (^_^)
So I'll be updating about one or two at most pages every few days. If I get a hold of filler, I'll put that up, too.
If you have drawn fanart or are going to now, please email it to me at uchuubiz@yahoo.com. It would help for in-between updates.
I finished and uploaded the new design for the orgfree website, and updated voting/links on everywhere. I couldn't resist fixing these pages up a little bit. And srevars are introduced in this update. They're considered animals, but have a high (yet predatory) intelligence. Their teeth inject poison, which makes prey lethargic and faint. If they can sneak up or at least bite their prey, they have a good chance to win. Calians are obviously main prey because of this; magic can only work if they have a chance to cast spells.
But srevar shouldn’t mess with Tsu. XD
108: Juiisal is the kind of person that believes in sticking with his own family and problems. He isn't concerned with other people, perhaps because he is so concerned with himself. He's very selfish. Juii has grown up his whole life in small Calian towns were they are prey, and he was trained to be a special Calian warrior. However, that isn't enough sometimes.
109: Jenario has that effect. Even I forget about him. (^_^; ) He tends to be silent and hang in the back. Jack's reaction represents everyone else's. XD
110: I was tempted to color that 7th panel since it's awesome, but didn't have enough time to do a good job. Maybe sometime later. It would make a cool part of a banner or vote incentive. :)
I'm doing a new design for the orgfree site, and I'm planning one for Drunk Duck. I don't think I'll be doing one for SmackJeeves, though. We also have a new forum. And Happy Independence Day, everyone in the United States!
Kinda leaving off on a cliffhanger today. The suspense! XD
Jack's "Damning Attack" with the ax is a large, red disk that slices through just about anything. But then the disk blows up, so yeah, it's a pretty powerful attack with a high chance of hitting the target. Jack's a cheater.
On page 99, yup, back to greyscale. Will you miss the color? I will, because I was just getting the hang of fixing it. Oh well. XD In case you didn't get it, their attacks combined.
Page 100 is when the Calians are introduced. They're mine. I made them up seven(+) years ago, and since then have obsessed over these guys. The Rougians are almost as old, but not quite. I even made up the Calian alphabet, how their language works, and a few sentances (then promptly got bored with them and worked on other races). 'Amli ewx!' XD But anyway, they're very short people with big eyes and bright colored hair. They're very playful, very friendly, very humorous... most of the time. There are a few that are mean, and some occasions when the nicest ones will go BERSERK. They're crazy little fiends. And I love them. (^_~)
Page 100... Aren't we supposed to be celebrating or something? (O_O)
