About

(DGS2 spoilers ahead)

There is a year remaining before Kazuma leaves Japan to follow his ambition: to find the truth of his father’s ignominious death. He's prepared to do whatever it takes, even destroy what little remains of his life and his family's pride. For now, though, all he has to do is maintain his honour student status, and wait.The complicating factor is his recently acquired best friend, Ryuunosuke, whose straightforward kindness threatens the safety of a life in which Kazuma has no-one left to lose.As they get inevitably closer and closer, Kazuma’s fears begin to overshadow what could have been a simple tale of young love.

ECDYSIS is an R18 180 page AsoRyuu doujinshi/graphic novel written and illustrated by Marcia (@marciaillust).The doujinshi will be available as a digital PDF, and for a limited time as a hardcover book accompanied by bonus goodies, including EVENT HORIZON, my previous asoryuu doujinshi.
