Well...I have no true apologies for such a long absence. I came back from Japan and then fell into the groove of school. All I can do is apologize to those who faithfully check this site. Anyways, I'll cut to the chase. I am starting a brand new series. What?! Yep, big shocker huh? However, I hope to stick this one. In fact both White Day and ;TVGirls: are being put on the back burner for this one. Lost Kindred is going by the way side as well.
This new series has finished both preliminary and inking phases and will begin to the scanning, retouching, and typesetting phase this week. However, because of papers and exams, it may not be as fast.
I have other news as well. I will be returning to Japan the 8th of June and then return to the States on the 13th of August. I hope to pick up on some ideas and share my drawings as I travel abroad. I will be updating my progress while I am there on xanga so please check!

I am finally done with summer classes! Now I have about 4 weeks until I leave for Japan! Summer is flying right by! Anyways, because of summer classes and general summer funness, I have been behind. However, I do have White Day Chapter 1 pages 43-47 all done and up. Go to the White Day section and check them out!

After a year or so absence and a much needed updated, I added pages 37-42 of White Day up! Hopefully, I will get six-eight more pages up sometime next week. Go and read them please! You can find them in the White Day portion of the website.

School is over and I have worked hard on trying to churn out as much stuff as I can. Expect a new update by tomorrow evening by the latest!
04/17/08 Hey! How's everyone? I apologize for a lack of "anything". I am being weighed down by big final papers and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
However, this summer I will have a lot of time to work on my manga!
I would like to take this time to announce that this year will be a year of mobilization for CSManga. I hope to get more traffic in the site, a completely NEW layout, possibly a new way to read the manga, and a revitalize the forums section.
That means I need help. Promote CSManga where ever and whenever you can. Have a friend who likes manga? Tell them about the site!
I am also hoping to launch advertising campaigns on several sites or even through manga serial publications in the States. We shall see.
I also hope to have within a year a way to purchase printed out versions of my manga! I still have to work on that. I am very excited.
If you are interested in helping out/assisting or even being part of the staff, please email me at jmielke@bgsu.edu.
03/18/08 I updated the About Me Section. I have been busy playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl so I have not gotten around to working on my manga.
01/12/08 I decided to get rid of the old updates in favor of newer ones. As well, there will just be some differences in the news areas. Anyways, the new fantasy/action series will be called "Lost Kindred." As well, I have inked half of chapter 1, 2, and 3 of White Day. I also finished the first chapter of :TVGirls:.
Mina-san, konnichiwa! Welcome to Crystal Shores WebManga. A place where I showcase my manga series I create as well as pictures, graphics, and other various stuff. I am fairly new to the actual web site world, not so much to the free web sites avaliable. So please be patient as this site continues to grow much like my art style.
On the left, you will see a menu which links to my 3 different series that I have created. Though there are no images yet but please look for updates in th enear future regarding that. To view my series, please scroll down to find the link to my old site.
I will also be adding a forum possibly and a
wikipedia-type format to catalogue anime character bios. I love to
create and write biographies for anime characters so I thought this
will be something fun to do as well as the manga.
