2011: A troubled year
This year of 2011 is going to be the worse I ever saw until now. Never so many catastrophes were conjoined in a so huge bestial effort to jeopardize our lives!
I mean not only the fierce earthquakes and tsunami that have consumed so many lives and places. We also have had those leaking nuclear plants, food and energy shortages and many other problems. In addiction, there's a world wide economical crisis.
All of these troubles drew my attentions and I can not care about this site. Unfortunately the entire site was lost when the hosting server got down due a power surge. The worse thing: I don't have a recent backup and various comments were deleted! I'm very sorry!
Now the site is up and I'll update it as regularly as I can.
Site update
Step by step, the site is being updated and soon new episodes will be posted here. Last year, I have no much time to dedicate to this site and making the English version of comic. Some people are complaining but please understand this. Editing an episode and translating it is a difficult? task, especially when you have other works with tight deadlines. Moreover I need refine the translation many times. My English skills have developed since I have started publishing this version on web but it's still not that good.
Site reconstruction
To all of readers of "Closencounters" comic:
This site is under reconstruction and new episodes will be added as soon as possible.
Thanks for supporting this webcomic!
