Ibuki Rewritten's story doesn't really have a single clean message. The writing touches on a lot of topics having to do with things such as ethnicity, diasporic identities, indigeneity, class, imperialism, history, family, and more. I'd prefer if people were able to read it and have different takeaways based on what resonates with them. I don't want to make readers feel like they should be searching for a particular "lesson" going in, if you know what I mean. If you mean what I want to convey literally with the project itself, I hope it's something that can inspire more interest in the people and places it is about. I wanted to make the characters as human as possible. I would be happy if even the most ideologically heavy character could be understood as a person. And, to that effect, I hope the project communicates that the themes the story handles—and that Enstars handles—are not abstract political questions, but lived experiences.
