Fabulous.
You should also write some about Ayodhya's royal family history. It will add good context for future.

The artwork is fantastic. I feel like the expressions and the dialogue felt slightly artificial but apart from that it was amazing.
How frequently are you planning on releasing the chapters?
NaturalityAppreciator 2 months ago
An Amazing read... Great work.
Good to see Indic Mangakas publishing their works out there.
Just a few constructive criticisms... Don't over rely on dialogues, let expressions, environment & silence do the talking. That takes the storytelling aspect to another degree.
The part where Shravanakumara is stabbed by an arrow to the chest, & him screaming those clear long lines felt unnatural. Plus Dasharatha, though reckless, was a wise prince who can understand even broken words of a dying man. I think you know what I'm hinting at.
Anyway... awaiting for the next chapter. All the best. 👍

Great art and storytelling. Best of wishes for future issues. As a fellow creator from the same cultural background as well as a passionate reader of manga, I have one suggestion - make the language real. Go easy on the ‘Shabd-bhedi’ type of lingo - interpret them into simpler nomenclature that the current world understands. Stay away from the literary pitfall of using eclectic lingo 🙏🏽 All the best

@NaturalityAppreciator: That’s a really thoughtful feedback, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I’ll refine that balance in the coming chapters. And yes, I completely get your point about Shravanakumar’s scene — I’ll make sure it feels more natural and true to the moment.

@GuardingMysteriousPhoenix: Thank you so much for the honest feedback, really appreciate it. I’m aiming for a monthly release schedule, and I’ll definitely work on making the dialogue and expressions feel more natural as the story progresses.

the moment i saw the map of ayodhya, i felt a hint that you'll stay true to valmiki ramayan. the art & composition is beautiful. will you add a foreshadowing/flashback about vishwamitra vs vaishist? pls do....

What a sense of aesthetics…i bet you are inspired by work of Takeshi obata…as one of your inspiration…character design and panelling and scenaries were just fantastic…Great work..Reminds me of what I wanted to make some years back…this is how i would have done it..this is the way,!! Keep it going..great work

@RevivingVolatileWhale: Thank you so much. Staying true to Valmiki is the core intent.
Yes, Vishwamitra vs. Vashishta conflict is an incredible arc to explore. It’s definitely on my mind for future chapters.

@lonerclown: Thank you so much, being compared to someone like Takeshi Obata is incredibly humbling. Really glad the aesthetics and panelling connected with you. I’ll keep giving it my best and carry this forward.

Great, way to storytelling man! I hope You get more recognition from the world. I am not expert to give you advice but If You Can Watch Ramayan from 1980 just before making this masterpiece then I guess you will be ending adding more emotions to this also there is a typo on 4th page from last "Tmercy" instead of "Mercy".
