Blessed to have been able to watch the US premiere of the Blank Canvas (Kakukaku Shikajika) movie and then meet the absolutely badass Akiko Higashimura herself! We chatted about Kenjiro Tsuda, who actually played her first manga editor in the movie. 😆

Before the Daemons of the Shadow Realm anime premieres on Saturday, I just wanna give a massive THANK YOU to all the OG manga fans! You guys are the reason I’ve pulled all-nighters to get the simulpub chapters out on time, and you guys believed in this series when it was still niche in the West!

As a Hiroyuki Sawano fan since 2011, last night was a magical bucket-list moment. Every vocalist brought their A game, and every cover song was a fun surprise. I’ll never forget how the entire audience got to its feet for the first time when the Aldnoah.Zero bangers came on. 🔥

Thank you so much for the sweet words! ❤️
With so much emotion and action, it’s no wonder Dragon and Chameleon was nominated at this year’s American Manga Awards. I enjoyed that so much, and even though it didn’t take the prize this year, with what I’ve seen so far, Dragon and Chameleon would be a great candidate for next year’s Best Continuing Manga Series.

Happy to announce that I’m editing this OFFICIAL HOLOLIVE MANGA! Yes, I did watch a bunch of FubuMio clips as part of my research. 😉 Thank you to @deijoubu.bsky.social and @gregdeng.bsky.social for joining me in the wonderful world of Holoearth!
Your favorite hololive VTubers like you’ve never seen them before!

In an alternate reality just a short hop away from our own, partners Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio defend the peace of Yamato, a land where humans and mythical beings coexist in harmony. Whether they're playing video games, exploring haunted houses, or cleansing the corrupting force known as stigma, this fox-wolf duo is always ready to do their duties with a smile!
