Landing Page: Nai
Jan. 13th, 2015 04:25 amOriginally posted by
Nai is the overlooked eighth child in a family of thirteen. At almost eighteen years old, her secondary education behind her and an ill-considered decision by her father to arrange the rest of her life in front of her, she runs away from home to test whether her gi teacher’s assessment of her abilities is correct. This takes her on a road trip across the pseudo-Chinese country of Tang-ji as she gathers the points she needs to compete in the provincial-level professional gi championships.
(I think of this series as a manga or anime, not so much “big eyes, small mouth” but the type where all the characters are Japanese but to my eyes, that’s not the way they look.)
The episodes in the main story are:
Wherein There Is A Tournament;
In Which There Is A Second Tournament;
A Third Tournament, Including An Incident;
The Final Two Days Of The Festival;
The Kwansu Tournament;
Time Progresses; and
In Which That Paid For, Is Received.
Thanks to readers’ prompts during my Prompt Calls we also have the following side stories:
In Which More Food For Thought Is Received;
Scenes With The Sung;
Back, Shortly After Nai Was Born...;
Planning; and
Meanwhile, Back In Jingshi.
Readers’ prompts have also produced stories about Ha Ri, a foreign student who is one of Nai’s near contemporaries:
A Serious Decision; and
Additionally, there have been several background pieces on this world:
September Prompt Request Background Piece: Nai's World – Gi; and
Nai's World:Education.
