Publication Information[]
Avesta of Black and White was published after the bankruptsy of Light, therefore had to be self-published by Takashi Masada and G Yuusuke. This was done through a subscription service on Fantia.
They released on a weekly basis, alternating between Chapter and Glossary; with Chapters being released in Parts, and Glossaries covering and elaborating upon information from the previous part. This was not entirely consistent, but, for the most part, did keep on schedule.
