The award winning mangaka Sho Shibamoto (Pandemonium: Wizard Village, Tsunousagi) just launched a Kickstarter to have his newest web manga "The Knight of Flower: Dakini" translated into English! This will be the first manga of his since Pandemonium to be translated into English if successful.

Dakini will apparently be the finale and finish the tale involving the "Sky Golems" that had previously been brought up in his other manga. (such as Pandemonium).
Here's some art from the Kickstarter page to entice those who may be unaware of this man's works:

Anyone else as excited as I am? Pandemonium was amazing and extremely tragic and the fact that his other works may finally get translated is exciting.

It's made a fair bit extra, too. I'm curious to see how much more it'll make over the course of the remainder of the Kickstarter. I'm just happy it turned out to be such a success, getting the full $2,800 goal in only about 2-3 days. Admittedly, I was rather worried about it myself, so I'm glad I no longer have to fear about it not being funded. Even Sho himself was worried, but it's nice to see that he's gained motivation from the success.

The Kickstarter was in fact a success. Quite a great one, too.
The initial goal had been 300,000 Yen (Roughly $2,800), and with the help of exactly 200 backers, managed to reach 682,253 Yen (Roughly $6,350).
We should be expected to see the English translation within the next few months; June 2018 is the estimated delivery date.

TheOASG also did an interview with Sho Shibamoto, which you can read here.

In celebration:
