01 About
Vices is an original manga exploring how our sins define us. It's a story about desire, corruption, and the choices that pull us deeper into the fire — or help us climb out of it. Expect gritty battles, sharp style, and characters who feel like they've lived a thousand lives before stepping onto the page.
02 Gray, the Main MC
At the center of Vices is Gray, a boy shaped by loss and fueled by fire. Ten years ago, he and his brother Vulcan lost their parents to a devastating Vician attack on Bacchanalia. While Vulcan joined the morally gray Janitors, Gray chose a different path — staying in Bacchanalia and joining the Hounds VSU to grow strong enough to protect others.
Gray is hot-headed but good-hearted. His immense flames mirror his turbulent emotions: powerful, raw, and hard to control. His struggle is not only to master his abilities, but also to master himself. He doubts, stumbles, and falters — but he always gets back up, driven by one unshakable goal: saving his brother from the shadows.
Gray's story embodies what Vices is about: strength, sacrifice, and the question of whether our vices consume us — or drive us forward.
03 The Creator
I'm DIF, a solo manga artist bringing Vices from sketchbook to reality. I've been building in the Web3 space for years, creating original manga covers, character designs, and collaborations with projects across Solana.
Now it's time to channel all of that into my own world. Vices is my chance to tell a story that's been burning in me for years — and to prove that Web3 can be a place where original manga thrives.
04 The Campaign
This campaign is about launching the very first volume of Vices and laying the foundation for future chapters. Your support will help fund the creation, printing, and distribution of Volume 1, as well as bonus rewards for collectors and backers.
05 What we need
Initial storyboarding & rough drafts for Chapter 1.
Concept art + character sheets to refine the cast.
Early digital pages to share with backers and build momentum.
Goal: $1,000
06 Risks
Every creative project comes with risks, but I've structured this to minimize them:
Production delays - As a solo artist, I'll stick to realistic timelines and share progress consistently.
Printing challenges - I've researched reliable manga printers with experience in indie publishing.
07 Future rounds
If this campaign is fully funded, my plan is to continue Vices into a full story arc, with future rounds funding additional volumes and expanded worlds (character zines, side stories, even animation down the line).
08 Additional details
Supporters will get behind-the-scenes access: raw sketches, early page layouts, and concept explorations that won't be shared publicly.
Some reward tiers include special thanks credits inside Volume 1 — so your name becomes part of the manga's history.
Long-term, the goal is to bridge Web3 + manga by experimenting with NFTs, token-gated extras, and interactive community rewards.
