Today, my short oneshot, 遠距離幼馴染 (Long-Distance Childhood Friends) we published in this month’s issue of Feel Young!! It’s my first time having my work physically published in a magazine! The title page’s logo and graphic design is so cute 😭 Check it out if you can!

Going back to 2019 with the Spanish version of m-flo’s and J Balvin’s Human Lost where Lisa seamlessly switches between English, Spanish and Japanese (all native btw) in the same verse!!! Such a masterpiece

I randomly found an Abema reality show that takes a Kpop girl group that is not doing so well and has their manager tell them that he wants them to completely rebrand as a かわいい系 Jpop girl group and debut in Japan😂 Stuff like this is my jam!

I want to be a better steward for the Human Made icon. If you have any ideas on how I can get the word out for it more please let me know. Do you think game retailers would be interested in stickers they could pass out? folks interested in pins? What can I do to support you using this icon? a zine?

so if you’ll indulge me, I want to say a bit more about what it’s been like working on The Otaku Love Connection with minami! minami and I first met when we both worked for cybird in tokyo. we quickly discovered that we were both deeply involved in otaku fangirl culture and liked the same media
