Looks awesome. Is this an alphabet, a syllabary or just a WiP?

There's definitely an opportunity to get more wide spread adoption. The current katakana based system is really sub optimal.

It uses too many dreaded digraphs, like the syllable 'tu' is トゥ and 'we' ウェ.

Since Japanese doesn't have the 'ch' sound they confusingly use チ ('ti' in japanese). By itself it represents the 'chi' sound, but the other 'ch-' syllables are digraphs.

Also, the consonant-final syllables can be confusing and aren't very easy on the eye - like 'kor' コㇽ (which could mistaken as 'koru').
