Author Notes
"Ebisu is finally showing his true colors, so its easier to draw him now. It's like I've finally built the muscles needed to draw that character. There are Yato muscles for drawing Yato, background muscles for drawing backgrounds, and tone muscles for laying screentone. Drawing manga is like bodybuilding."
