Aw, this sounds like a lovely idea!
I'll put my comic Grassblades up for consideration: it's a sprawling fantasy adventure following the journey of the world's grumpiest wandering swordsman Masahiro on his quest to rid himself of the strange magical infection spreading up through the stump of his left arm, and redeem himself for the things he's done. On the way, he accidentally picks up a semi-mute orphan girl he names Akane who - despite his efforts to the contrary - insists on following him around. Also features hapless bandits, inadvisable visits to haunted shrines, demonic entities and lots of one-sided conversations.
