Samurai swords, cowboy guns, and prophecy-fueled chaos. Cloud of Sparrows throws 19th-century Japan into a blender with the Wild West. It’s bloody, brainy, and a little messy. But damn, it’s got style. Matsuoka’s debut swings for the fences.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
