Last summer, I achieved my dream of making my pro mangaka debut in Japan through LaLa!
Here's the 1st ch of comic, 爆死して乙女ゲーに転生したので推しルートを攻略します！or "I Bombed a Pull So Bad it Yeeted Me into an Otome Game, so I'm Gonna Clear My Best Boy's Route!". Enjoy!

I feel like as the word "joseimuke" has spread over the years, the meaning has started to get a bit muddled so I wanted to try to explain how broad a term it really is.

The serialization of my manga has begun! It's called 爆死して乙女ゲーに転生したので推しルートを攻略します！or "I Bombed a Pull So Bad it Yeeted Me into an Otome Game, so I'm Gonna Clear My Best Boy's Route!" (unofficial TL). "Bakuten" (爆転) for short!

Part 6 was a kind of conclusion and a stopping point (for the series), but it isn’t the end. Just like the movie in May, we plan on handling each new project for i7 with the utmost care, and invite you to join the staff, Tsushimi-sensei, Tanemura-sensei, and Fukagawa-sensei (1/2)

“The idols’ journey will continue on. But since we’ve reached a milestone in their story, I thought I’d give my acknowledgments (to everyone involved thus far). Thank you, and I look forward to your continued support!”
You heard sensei! It ain’t over yet! twitter.com/Bunta_HARD/sta…

Art imitates life and thus always requires observation and interest from the creator. If the men who created those models bothered figuring out *why* and for *what reason* (aside from “this looks gross and creepy”) they made that model, maybe a real conversation could’ve been had
7
This is the key difference between technology and art, and it’s frustrating to see them conflated with each other because ideally, technology is there to aid or elevate art, and that requires thought and intention and humanity.
8
And I think that’s where a lot of the frustration is coming from. Because a key part of art comes from those questions of “why”, and those answers of “because”, and an active choice to create something for a reason, not just to see how far it goes.

What is your goal (the Japanese is literally, “where are you planning for this to lead to?”) Silence, followed by “we want to make a machine that can draw like a human does”. No talk about the message or intention behind that goal. No whys. No becauses. Just an end point.

This is probably gonna get flattened in the already tiring AI discourse going on but I think it’s worth focusing on what Miyazaki actually took offense with here—not the technology, but the intent behind it. It’s further compounded by the silence that followed Suzuki’s question twitter.com/TofuPixel/stat…

I wish that all your favorite games and manga are adapted into an anime with the care and love IDOLiSH7 has gotten

I'm procasting on something so here's some words commonly used in manga creation: a thread
14
I have made my official mangaka debut on Hakusensha's app, Manga Park! For those who can download the app, check it out!
15
I just want you to know that getting Kazuki "Hakuouki" Yone to illustrate for the shitpost of an anime that is Pop Team Epic is the kind of energy I want to give with anything I create. Thank you

This is a comic about a guy who lives in an AI generated world with an AI drawn girlfriend who tries hard to overcome her tendency to have effed up hands and eat ramen in increasingly horrific ways
The MC’s name is 手垣 (Tegaki), which sounds like the word for “hand drawn” LOL twitter.com/h071019/status…

Every time a game kicks the dust I become more and more against the concept of games being subsequently released on different servers. Can we please just make it a standard that games have different language options upon release?
18
Y’all don’t know how many English speakers within Japanese game companies have fought battles so some of the characters you love to this day don’t have incredibly stupid sounding names
19
How are y’all literally going to believe that the SxF mangaka hates his characters when Anya is literally a repurposed character from one of his previous manga?
Here’s the thing: not all comic artists create completely from pure passion. Some create because they’re good at it.
20
The reason why the A I art discourse is so exhausting is because it’s actually the evolved version of the thing artists have been saying for years:
Stop using and reposting art without permission.
THAT is where the problem is. Not the tool itself.

A long, long time ago I drew a comic about a silly experience I had while studying in Kyoto in college.

Yasuke but make him a historical otome game suitor

This oneshot is about a mangaka is told that his serialization is being canceled. Despite its dwindling popularity he sees that one fan has stuck with it the entire time, so he goes to see her…at an event where she’s selling a doujin of her fave BL pairing from his series twitter.com/shonenjump_plu…
25
Not enough people know about Zekkyou Gakkyuu (both the original and the sequel series)
It’s a shoujo horror manga published in Ribon that is mainly standalone oneshots. It really nails both horror and entertainment (particularly the shoujo elements) in a clever way
