And I truly love these characters. I want to draw them as much as I possibly can.

A-spec characters from my webtoon. Beyond aromantic and asexual identities, there are many other identities within the A-spectrum. I created these characters to portray that diversity and show that everyone is different, even when they share the same identity.

A black-and-white collage featuring six A-spec characters from my webtoon, arranged in two rows of three.

Top row, left to right:
Rei, a dark-skinned character with spiky hair, labeled “Aroflux.”
Sumire, a dark-skinned character wearing an elaborate frilly outfit and hair accessories, labeled “AroAce.”
Kazuha, a character with long braided hair and large hoop earrings, labeled “AroAce.”

Bottom row, left to right:
Mika, a dark-skinned character with long locs, labeled “Demiromantic” and “Demisexual.”
Madoka, a light-skinned character with spiky hair, resting their chin on one hand, labeled “Grayromantic.”
Professor Yang, a dark-skinned character wearing glasses, a shirt, tie, and suspenders, labeled “AroAce.”

I'm a Manga & Webtoon Creator. I create queer comics featuring characters with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. You can read my comics here: WEBTOON CANVAS : www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/fo... NamiComi : nami.moe/t/Fq9YpZ5j #portfolioday

A black-and-white manga cover for "For Your Own Good, Baby." Three characters are arranged against an abstract background filled with dense crosshatching, grainy textures, and white splashes. At the upper right, a long-haired character smiles slightly while resting their chin on their hand and holding a pen. In the center, a character wearing a hoodie and pants is shown from a high-angle perspective, outlined in white. At the lower left, another character with long hair looks to the side with a serious expression. The title "For Your Own Good, Baby" appears across the bottom in large, flowing cursive lettering.

A black-and-white manga panel. In the foreground on the left, Kris, wearing a hoodie and carrying a bag over one shoulder, turns to look behind him with a slightly surprised expression. Two characters approach him from the background. One raises a hand near their head, while the other walks beside them wearing a hood with rounded ears. A speech bubble above them reads, "Kris!" Three small emphasis marks appear above Kris's head.

A black-and-white manga panel viewed from above. Four characters are seated around two desks in a classroom. At the upper left, a character with spiky hair sits with their arms resting on a desk. At the upper right, another spiky-haired character sits with their legs apart and points toward the left. At the lower left, a character wearing a hoodie raises one hand. At the lower right, a character with long dreadlocks sits facing the others. The desks, chairs, and floor are drawn with detailed hatching and screentone textures.

A black-and-white manga panel viewed from above. A group of people is gathered together, talking to one another. Among them is a person using a wheelchair. At the bottom left, Kris stands apart from the group, glancing sideways toward them. A large area of white space separates him from the others. The text at the bottom reads, "Seeing everyone around me starting to think about finding a job..."

They’re actually not main characters. I may have made them seem more important than they are by introducing them as “new characters.” They’re supporting characters. That said, they have enough character development that I’ve considered weaving their stories into the main plot a few times,

Square image showing Mikael and JP from the cover of the comic Dead City kneeling down next to one another, both with worried expressions as a dark foreboding background looms behind them. The background is the city skyline of Toronto and the lights of the buildings slowly turn into eyes. Text: Dead City

Comic page, in black lines and coloured in shades of green. Panel one, Jey slams their hands down on a desk. Jey dialogue: No! Enough is enough! Panel two, Jey with their arms up in a determined pose. Jey dialogue: I've decided. Panel three, Jey running happily through a portal where on the left they are fully clothed with forms and papers flying around them. On the right they're exiting the portal with top surgery bandages on their chest, with masculine aligning clothing flying around them. Jey dialogue: This is my body for the rest of my life, so instead of self-loathing, I'm going to take action in the form of transforming my body to suit my needs instead of forcing myself to love things I don't love.

Comic page, black lines and coloured in shades of dark pinks. Title: Secret Snacking. Panel one, Darumaka from behind with the sound effect "munch" and "crunch" around her. Panel two, a loud speech bubble on the left of the panel and a surprised Darumaka from the side on the right of the panel. Her hands are up near her mouth. Her mouth is full. Daven dialogue: Maka! Panel three, Darumaka with her mouth full is running away from Daven in the background. He's yelling after her. Daven dialogue: What's in your mouth?!

Comic page, with black lines and minimalist colouring. Panel one, Lupin is in a kitchen whisking some liquid in a glass bowl. He's wearing a pink Santa hat and singing. Lupin dialogue: Oh quand j'entends sonner au ciel. Panel two, Lupin is using a ladle to pour the liquid into three tall glasses. Panel three, in a living room Lupin is handing Goemon one of the three glasses. Lupin is holding one for himself and Jigen has one as well, but is reaching off panel for something. Goemon dialogue: What is this? Lupin dialogue: Eggnog! Panel four, similar panel as to panel three but Goemon is looking concerned at his glass, Lupin is pointing to Jigen angrily, and Jigen is pouring whisky into his own glass. Goemon dialogue: Egg... as a drink. Lupin dialogue: Jigen! There's already run in it!

That’s why I decided to divide it into parts and publish each part as I complete it. I do try to split the parts at natural stopping points in the story.

Ichiro Yudofu @ichiroyudofu.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Episode 1 was originally created as one continuous episode rather than being divided into separate parts. It’s over 100,000 pixels long and around 50 pages in total, so I thought it would be difficult to stay motivated if I waited until the entire episode was finished before publishing anything.

Character profiles and world setting for For Your Own Good, Baby, a Webtoon currently in development. #webtoon #webcomic

World-setting guide for For Your Own Good, Baby. The story takes place in a world where animal exploitation and use have been abolished and plant-based living is the norm; having multiple cultural backgrounds and roots is common; and universal design and accessibility are societal standards. Notes from the creator explain that this does not mean every aspect of the world is depicted perfectly this way. The story is created with this kind of society in mind, with mistakes or gaps in the creator’s knowledge revised and updated as needed. People in this world have diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, but these differences are not intended to affect how people are treated or valued. This is not intended to erase or obscure discrimination and inequality in the real world, but to depict the kind of society the creator hopes for.A small cartoon representation of the creator with a block of tofu for a head appears between the speech bubbles.

The reason is that I want readers to pick up on those things through the comic itself. If I, as the author, point out what to focus on or provide the answers, I feel like that would leave less room for readers to experience and enjoy the story for themselves.

Ichiro Yudofu @ichiroyudofu.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I feel like answering that would start to become an explanation of how I want the comic to be read. I don’t really want to explain in words what I want readers to pay attention to or what the story is about.

I’m planning to explore that in the main story as well. Sorry I can’t give you a more direct answer, especially after you took the time to ask. I’d rather portray these things in the comic than talk about them. Also, Kazuha is nonbinary, not a woman. I realize I hadn’t mentioned that yet.

A short comic featuring Kris and Kazuha from my upcoming webtoon, For Your Own Good, Baby. English / 日本語 #webtoon #webcomic

The first page of a four-page monochrome comic. Kris smiles as he says, “You don't like being around people, right, Kazuha?” Below, Kazuha sits alone, holding a drink with both hands and looking toward Kris with a puzzled expression. Kazuha responds, “...?”

The second page of a monochrome comic. Kris sits at a counter, talking at length while gesturing with one hand: “The other day, when you were with us, you left as soon as our friends showed up. When a stranger talked to you, you left right away too. You avoid crowds, and when you realize people are around, you look like you want to leave. So... You want to be alone, right?” Small “blah” and “blah...” text emphasizes that Kris keeps talking. Kazuha sits nearby, holding a drink and replies, “Well... yeah.” Kazuha thinks, “If you knew that, I wish you hadn't invited me today either.”

The third page of a four-page monochrome comic. Kris says, “It's okay. From now on, I won't let anyone get near you.” Kazuha looks at Kris with wide eyes and responds, “What?” Kris continues, “I'll stay as close to you as I can. Look, I installed an app so we can see where each other is!” Looking confused, Kazuha begins to respond, “Wait...”

The fourth and final page of a four-page monochrome comic. Kris smiles warmly and says, “So don't worry. Just stay with me, okay?” The background then turns black. In a close-up, Kazuha's eyes widen, with a small sweat drop beside Kazuha's face, followed by another close-up showing Kazuha looking down with a subdued expression. After a pause, Kazuha replies, “...I see.”
